Geumnam Vin

Geunnam Vin is a natural wine bar and seasonal Hansik (traditional Korean food) restaurant next to the Geumnam market in Seoul. The vibe is casual, echoing a French wine bar and bistro from the owner Mikyung Jo’s time in Paris, where she used to run a similar wine bar.

The food menu is short and changes daily, serving Korean dishes such as seafood, pancakes, ribs and soups. This is a great place to go for experiencing Korean food in a new way. Off and on there are pop-ups: Guest chefs, Izakaya evenings and craft installations.

The wine list is diverse with around 40 natural wines, which changes almost every week. Spotted on the list: Racine Rouge by Claude Courtois, Bistrologie by Jean-Pierre Robinot, Fistful of flowers by Momentomori.
