2017 Michelin Guide Gourmet Fair (Michelin Guide Seoul)

Michelin Guide Seoul will organize a gourmet fair in Seoul from Oct. 28-29, gathering restaurants introduced on last year’s Seoul edition of the gastronomical guide.

The three-star La Yeon of The Shilla Seoul Hotel will participate in the fair alongside 18 other restaurants, including French restaurant L’amitie, modern Italian restaurant Ristorante Eo and modern Korean restaurant Mingles as well as chef Tony Yoo, who is formerly of one-star modern Korean restaurant Twenty Four Seasons.

The fair will be divided into three areas: the Gourmet Zone, where restaurants will feature special menus; the Dining Zone, where visitors can enjoy signature dishes; and the Market, where relevant brands will set up booths.

Special items from top restaurants, which will be offered in limited quantities, can be reserved online through Wednesday. The price is 15,000 won per dish and people who purchase a dish will be offered free admission to the fair.

The gourmet fair will also feature various events, including cooking demonstrations by the two chefs.
