Gangnam (Seoul)World Cuisine > European
Chef Jo Young-dong's intimate Asian-contemporary fine-dining room where seasonal Korean ingredients are reworked with European techniques. The name 'Iseuteu' plays on 'yeast' (효모) and also nods to the chef's name; expect creative, thoughtful plates centered on texture and balance. The restaurant is known for its signature 'Galbi-stone' — carefully shredded galbijjim mixed with blue cheese and baked into bread — and offers an open-kitchen bar for watching the service. Lunch and dinner are served only as tasting courses; a broad wine list makes pairing a good option.

Local Tips

  • Seasonal Korean ingredients interpreted with a European-influenced Asian contemporary tasting menu (lunch and dinner only)
  • Bar seating faces an open kitchen—ideal if you enjoy watching plating and cooking techniques; reservations recommended
  • Try the signature Galbi-stone (shredded braised short rib with blue cheese baked into bread) and consider a 4- or 6-glass wine pairing
