The story
Restaurant OY is a Contemporary French restaurant located in Cheongdam-dong, one of Seoul's most fashionable districts. Situated on the basement level of a building on a quiet side street, it offers a discreet dining experience away from the bustle of Gangnam.
The restaurant operates on a single set menu that changes with the seasons. Lunch is a three-course affair at 68,000 won, while dinner presents four courses at 138,000 won. The kitchen adapts the menu to accommodate dietary restrictions or allergies when noted at the time of reservation. The menu is designed as a single course, meaning all guests at a table share the same progression of dishes – a format that encourages a focused appreciation of each plate.
The cooking is rooted in French technique, with a focus on seasonal ingredients and clean flavors. The result is a refined yet approachable meal that reflects the chef’s attention to detail. Restaurant OY’s quality has been recognized by the Michelin Guide, which named it a Recommended restaurant in its Seoul edition. This recognition places it among the city’s noteworthy dining destinations.
The dining room is air-conditioned and offers table service. Valet parking is available. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner, with a break from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM. It is closed on Sundays and Mondays.
