Seoul Guides — one neighborhood at a time. This week: Sharosu-gil, the foodie alley by Seoul National University Station.
Why Sharosu-gil?
A cheeky nod to upscale Garosu-gil, Sharosu-gil (from SNU's 'Sharo' gate) is a narrow street packed with independent restaurants and cozy cafes — global flavours, student-friendly prices, and a relaxed local energy you won't find in the tourist zones.
What to eat
This is a graze-and-wander street: hop between small plates — Thai, Mexican, Korean-Western fusion — then settle into a tucked-away cafe for dessert. Come hungry, come curious.
The beauty angle
Real-life, low-maintenance Seoul beauty: a healthy glow that lasts through a long day of eating and walking. Reach for soothing, hydrating heroes: Soothing Cica Sunscreen and Glass Skin Serums.
