In this post, AREX will introduce a Hanok-style restaurant named Salon Soulla and a Hanok-style cafe named Minhwa Boutique.
[Salon Sulla]
Salon Sulla is located near Ikseon-dong area, which is accessible from Jongno 3-ga station (exit 7) and it only takes 2-3 mins by walking.
The moment you enter the restaurant, you will feel the warmth of Hanok. This restaurant is rather quiet, unlike the other famous restaurants in Ikseon-dong. So we recommend this to people who want to enjoy their meals in a more quiet place.
The signature menus at Salon Sulla "Spawn Cream Pasta" and "Steak Salad". There are side dishes that go well with wine, and you can find other alcoholic drinks such as cocktails and beer.
Here is the Spawn cream pasta and homemade beef rendang curry.
The food is served nicely and neatly on pretty plates.
The Homemade Beef Rendang Curry is the signature menu of Salon Sulla. It is an Indonesian dish that comes in beef and flavored with coconut curry sauce. The coconut and spice have unique taste, so if you like coconut and spices, do give it a try.
Another dish that is worth trying in Salon Sulla is the Spawn Cream Pasta.
The combination of thick cream and salty spawn makes it soft and tastes really delicious.

There are many cafes that have their own identity and attractiveness at Ikseon-dong. If you explore at the small alleys, you will find even more hidden cafes there. And Cafe Minhwa Boutique is famous as Hanok-style cafe with indoor rooftop at Ikseon-dong.
When you take a look at the interior of Cafe Minhwa Boutique, it looks like a well-reformed hanok-style cafe. The characteristics of Hanok remain the same, and folk paintings are used as their interior design to make it more special. The menu can be found on each table, but you have to order the food at the counter.
The most famous beverage is black tea. Besides that, their afternoon tea set is also popular.
In addition, there are many kinds of bakery such as scones, croissants and cakes that are baked freshly every day.
Cafe Minhwa Boutique has very unique interior. Folk paintings can be found on windows and various paintings are hung on the walls. As compared to other cafes, this place offers a more Korean atmosphere to the visitors.
This cafe is famous for its indoor rooftop and very unique concept.

When you sit at the rooftop area, you can enjoy an overall view of the cafe interior. During the day, you can feel the bright and warm sunshine too.

In the evening, you can enjoy a different view of Hanok rooftop. Since it is an indoor rooftop, you can sit here even if it rains.
