La Yeon at The Shilla Seoul
The Korean fine-dining restaurant of The Shilla Seoul, presenting court-inspired and seasonal Korean cuisine high above the city.
Why we recommend it
La Yeon is one of the most accomplished expressions of classical Korean cuisine. The cooking draws on the refinement of the royal court and on seasonal ingredients, served with the precision and ceremony of a great hotel restaurant.
It is a natural choice for a first formal Korean meal, and the views from the upper floor of the hotel add to the occasion.
Food
Set menus present a sequence of Korean dishes, from delicate starters and soups to grilled meats and rice, with seasonal changes throughout the year. Tableware and presentation are an integral part of the experience.
Location
La Yeon is on an upper floor of The Shilla Seoul, in Jangchung-dong on the slopes of Namsan.
