This past March, I headed to Seoul, South Korea for non other than Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants Award Ceremony!
It was the first time the 50 Best was hosted in South Korea. Given that Korean food is my all-time favorite, I was more than happy about this choice. The event took place in the Grand Intercontinental Seoul Parnas, as well as the celebration after.
Japan took home the first and second best restaurant in Asia, with Sézanne coming out at the top!
The ceremony afterwards was lovely, with beverages from multiple brands. My personal favorite was Woodford Reserve, as they focused on a tea infused cocktail that was well balanced and delicious.
