Gourmet Week features a lineup of Michelin-selected restaurants, fine dining venues reflecting the latest culinary trends, and restaurants run by chefs who appeared on the popular program "Black & White Chef."
The event will be held in Seoul and Busan from October 24 to 30, with about 50 restaurants participating. All reservations must be made in advance.
