Gangnam (Seoul)World Cuisine > European
Chef Kim Dae-cheon presents 7th Door, a refined spot driven by fermentation and aging at the heart of its contemporary Korean cooking. A glass display by the entrance holds the restaurant’s house-made jang (fermented sauces), jangajji (pickled vegetables) and cheong (preserved syrups), signalling the kitchen’s focus on preserved flavors. The signature Dinner course changes daily to highlight the freshest ingredients; the meal often opens with 4–5 playful amuse-bouches — examples have included persimmon–foie gras, yukhoe tart, and fermented pumpkin mousse with gamtae (seaweed) chips. Another local favorite is the restaurant’s take on gimbap: rice and generous caviar wrapped in Daecheon gim, delivering a concentrated umami bite.
