Must-try Dishes 😋



1.Stir-fried Cabbage and Cherry Tomatoes (₩21,000)





Grilled cherry tomatoes and Brussels sprouts might sound basic, but trust me, the flavor is next level! The smoky goodness from the charcoal and the natural sweetness of the veggies make it a total must-try. Plus, it pairs perfectly with steak—talk about a match made in foodie heaven!



2.Steak (₩40,000 – ₩48,000 per 100g)





Guunmong’s steak? Absolutely top-notch! They even show you the fresh cuts before grilling, which totally adds to the trust factor. Since it’s charcoal-grilled, you’ll wait 20-30 minutes, but the smoky, rich flavor makes it so worth it. And don’t forget the sauces—they take the flavor to another level! Plus, they serve the steak on warm plates, so every bite stays perfectly toasty until the end. Delicious and thoughtful, right?



3.Tomahawk (₩36,000 per 100g)





The tomahawk steak? It’s a total showstopper! Just seeing the size and presentation is enough to make you swoon. Meat lovers adore it because it’s juicy on the inside, crispy on the outside, and packed with flavor. Sure, it’s 36,000 KRW per 100g, but trust me, once you take that first bite, you’ll know it’s worth every won!



4.Beef Tartare (₩28,000)





Beef tartare on grilled toast? Oh yes, it’s as fancy as it sounds! Fresh minced beef, onions, mushrooms, and nuts, all topped off with a generous sprinkle of truffle slices. The seasoning hits just right, and the clean finish will leave you craving more. Each bite is so packed with flavor, you’ll be savoring it, wishing it never ends!



5.Grilled Octopus (₩25,000)





The grilled octopus is chewy and tender, and when you dip it in that ink sauce with all the toppings—flavor explosion! It’s got just the right amount of smoky goodness from the charcoal, with a crispy outside. Plus, the fancy plating makes you feel like you’re getting the VIP treatment. Totally a must-try!
