K-Pop Destinations: Restaurants With K-Drama On The Menu

In the last few weeks, we've listed places in Seoul where you can go for a cup of coffee or a sweet treat. But which restaurants offer something more substantial and also have kdrama on the menu?

Here are three that were featured in some favorite dramas.

Buonasera. If you enjoyed the delicious pasta dishes you saw expertly prepared in the drama "Pasta," you may be happy to learn that the restaurant really exists. While Lee Sun Kyun is not actually in the kitchen yelling orders at aspiring chef Gong Hyo Jin, the food is as luscious in real life as it looks in the drama. Buonasera is located at 650-1 Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu. Take subway line 3 to the Apgujeong Station, Exit 3. For more information or reservations, you can call 82 2-543-6668 or visit www.buonasera.co.kr.

In "When A Man Loves," Song Seung Hoon is surprised to see Shin Se Kyung working as a waitress at an upscale restaurant. That's where he saves the day when it looks like she is going to be humiliated by a table full of wealthy, condescending women. It's also the restaurant in "Missing You" where Park Yoo Chun dines with Yoon Eun Hye, the fashion designer pretending she is not his lost love. The restaurant is Luka 511 and it's located in shopping district of Cheomdamdong. The granite building is wedged neatly between a Prada store and a Rolls Royce dealership at 115-16 Cheongdam-dong Gangnam-gu. To get there, take subway line 3, to Apgujeong Station, Exit 2. The Italian and French cuisine is delicious and the restaurant is a favorite location for making marriage proposals. For reservations, call 82 2-540-6640.

If you prefer dining in a more casual location and you're a fan of Kim Sun Ah's drama "I Do, I Do," try Choong Baek's Wong Dong Gun Carriage restaurant. It's the scene where the shoe designer played by Kim Sun Ah has her first drinking session with the shoe counterfeiter played by Lee Jang Woo. It's the place where her character chews spicy peppers and drinks enough soju to wind up in bed with Lee's character, a totally unsuitable younger man. The address is 902-1 Bldg 403, Yangcheon-gu. Take subway line 5, Exit 1 and walk straight. It's on the left.
