Pearlshell

Pearlshell Oyster Bar in Chungdam, Seoul, is a contemporary and cool place for oysters and wine. They serve seasonal oysters, which are particularly good in wintertime when they are local. This place is a playground for people in their forties and fifties – and it is a place for the rich and powerful. In the evenings, it fills up with classy and stylish Korean business people.

Pearlshell is part of a group that has oyster bars also in Itaewon and Hannam-dong, and they have also recently opened the premium wine bar Pearlshell Premier.

The wine list is well balanced. There is a focus on white and sparkling wines to pair well with the menu.
