walking into 'the spice'
'The Spice' looks pretty different in the evenings...love it!
Chef Edward Kwon's newest restaurant 'The Spice'-contemporary European bistro, recently opened its doors in May in Hannam-dong, Seoul. 'The Spice' offers a course menu only, with extremely reasonable prices. The platform of chefs can't be beat-Executive Chef Darren Vaughan from Sydney, Pastry Chef Chad Yamagata from Vancouver are just to name a few that are behind the culinary creations at the Spice. Reservations are highly recommended, and it's a great spot to hold private events. This is definitely the 'hottest, to-be-seen' restaurants in Seoul!
