Where to Eat in Seoul on Lunar New Year 2021
Lunar New Year or Seollal is fast approaching, and if you haven’t made any plans for the 3-day holiday yet (Feb. 11-13, 2021), how about visiting one of N Seoul Tower’s restaurants: Hancook. The Korean restaurant is offering a special Rice Cake Soup with Dumplings (떡 만두국), which is commonly eaten during the occasion.

As tradition goes, Koreans age up by a year during Seollal, but before they do, they’d have to eat a steamy bowl of rice cake soup. (Nowadays, many Koreans also mark their aging-up at the start of the Gregorian calendar or on January 1st.)


To have a memorable Seollal meal in Seoul this 2021, you can have your bowl of Rice Cake Soup (with dumplings!) at Hancook. The restaurant offers a nice view of the city, so you can also enjoy a refreshing scenery as you have your soup!


If you’re feeling hungry or want to make the most of your visit, you can also book any of Hancook’s signature a la carte selections: the Dakgangjeong Set for 2 (Crispy Fried Chicken) or their Tteokgalbi Set for 2 (Grilled Short Rib Patties)!
