For my wife’s birthday on August 9th, we had the chance to dine at Mingles, a Michelin 3-star restaurant in Seoul. Getting a reservation wasn’t easy, but once we stepped inside, I immediately understood why it’s so highly praised. The atmosphere was calm yet refined, and the service struck a perfect balance between attentive and comfortable. Every course was carefully curated, combining traditional Korean ingredients with a modern, creative touch. It really made me think, “So this is what Michelin 3 stars feel like.” 🍷 Wine Pairings • Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly 2021 (Domaine de Montille) Elegant and refreshing. It paired beautifully with the starters and seafood, instantly brightening the mood of the dinner. • Gevrey-Chambertin Sélection 2021 (Marchand-Tawse) A deep, expressive Pinot Noir with real presence. It matched the main course perfectly, smooth yet powerful. Overall, the food, service, wine, and atmosphere all exceeded my expectations. Most importantly, my wife loved every moment, which made the evening truly unforgettable. For a special occasion, I don’t think there’s a better place than Mingles.

All I can say is amazing and they truly deserve the 3 stars. You could truly appreciate the seasonal summer ingredients of Korea presented in a 12 course meal. So many components, techniques and flavors involved all executed to perfection. The pairing I got which included the introduction of different Korean Liquors to pair with the course which was an eye opener. The service was truly professional, from introducing the courses to serving the food it was truly a superb gastronomic experience from head to toe
