But true foodies know that the treasures also lie beyond the trends – that it’s where local traditions and regional customs meet that you find some of the most delicious cuisines around. So, if you want to know what the best things to eat in Korea are, look no further. Taking you from the capital Seoul to the island paradise of Jeju, we’ve rounded up some of our lesser-known favourites – and some of the good old classics.
