Christmas specials at restaurants
Restaurants have suffered along with the rest of us during the pandemic this year, but some have adapted, seeing no reduction in orders as they focus more on take-out and delivery.
For this Christmas, several restaurants in the Itaewon area and elsewhere around Seoul are offering festive meals for you to enjoy at home. Some offer in-restaurant dining, but at this point it seems like a gamble. Here is a partial list of take-out Christmas options available as of publication time.
Southside Parlor offers its Christmas Road Plate, featuring roast sirloin and sides plus mulled wine, Cinnabon Eggnog or chai tea, for 30,000 won this Friday and Saturday. The meal is offered for dining in or take-out. Visit fb.com/southsideparlor to reserve.
Italian-Sicilian restaurant Salon De Joo in Songpa District offers an eight-course meal for 40,000 won which feeds four, including mini arancini, pizza and beef salad, available all week for pick-up only. Visit fb.com/salondejoo for more information about their other offers as well.
The Czech restaurant 1842 offers a special take-out menu costing 39,000 won, featuring roasted turkey, stuffing, macaroni salad, gravy and more. Orders must be paid in advance and a pickup time must be arranged on Dec. 25 or 26. Visit fb.com/1842seoul for more information.
