A Fine Dining Experience in Korea✨️ Eatanic Garden, the restaurant led by Chef Son Jong-won, who has been gaining global attention through Netflix’s Culinary Class War. A space where tradition and modernity coexist, and Korean aesthetics are expressed through cuisine. Every course was impressive, but the most exciting moment came at the very end — the final petit dessert 🍬 Opening each drawer of the mother-of-pearl box, adorned with butterfly and peony motifs, naturally brought a smile to our faces. If you’re looking for the most elegant meal to experience while traveling in Korea, Eatanic Garden is a place we highly recommend. 한국에서 즐기는 파인다이닝 경험 넷플릭스 흑백요리사2로 전 세계의 주목을 받고 있는 손종원 셰프의 레스토랑 이타닉 가든. 전통과 현대가 조화를 이루는 공간, 그리고 요리로 표현되는 한국의 미학. 코스 하나하나가 인상 깊었지만 가장 설렜던 순간은 마지막 다과 디저트 🍬 나비와 모란 문양이 담긴 자개함 서랍을 하나씩 여는 순간, 자연스럽게 미소가 나왔어요. 한국을 여행하며 경험하는 가장 우아한 한 끼를 찾고 있다면, 이타닉 가든은 꼭 추천하고 싶은 공간입니다. #8birdstravel #Nexflix #Culinaryclasswars #Korea #Koreatour
