To me, i always have lots of plan where to eat this and that but as you know, food in korea always come in big portion (or i would be stuffed by those 반찬 – side dishes before my main course is ready -,-) so i always ended up cancel some of my plans RELUCTANTLY at the end.
Well now, since i have this 자연별곡 (chayeonpyulgugk) I can have many different types of awesome Korean food in a single plate ( smaller portion ) ^^ There are meanings in each word of 자연별곡 :
自자 : 제철 식재료, 자연을 맛보다. Seasonal ingredients, natural taste
然연 : 왕의 밥상, 역사를 맛보다. Dining table of the king. taste of history
別별 : 전통의 재해석, 별미를 맛보다. Interpret tradition, taste delicacies.
曲곡 : 전국 방방곡곡, 팔도를 맛보다 Savour the taste all over the countries (from eight provinces )
They have lots of branches in Seoul like hongdae, myeongdong etc. The menus are different for lunch and dinner so as the price. For WEEKDAY lunch, it’s 12,900 won/person whereas dinner/weekend/national holiday it’s 19,000 won.
The lunch hour is from 10am to 4pm; dinner is 4 pm to 10 pm. If you are going on weekend/national holiday, the time would be just form 10am to 10 pm (no restriction on lunch or dinner). HOWEVER! like normal buffet there is a time limit .. it’s 2 hours.. 😦
