Sanmotungi (Mountain Corner)

Yes, this place is crazy popular for being featured in the K-drama “Coffee Prince.” But it’s those famous views from this mountainside café that make the trek to Buam-dong worthwhile for fans and non-fans alike—soak up the fresh mountain air while gazing on the peaks of Inwangsan, Bugaksan and the Seoul Fortress Wall in the distance. The rooftop seating is arranged in rows for optimal viewing, while the first floor terrace seating around tables is better for chatting over your drinks and food. We’ll be honest: we’re more excited about the views than the menu—skip the food and opt for a drink to pay your dues, then head down the hill for a fried chicken dinner at Gyeyeolsa.
