More than 10 million people living in South Korea have a pet. The compound word “pet-fam” is formed from the words “pet” and “family.” As this new word says, pets are now a part of the family. As the number of pet-fams increases, more and more places are allowing pets to enter. You can spend time and make memories with your lovely pet in various restaurants, hotels, coffee shops, and other popular pet-friendly destinations in Seoul.

Not only does the restaurant allow pets, but also it has a menu for pets too. The restaurant only serves 50 portions of nicely prepared dishes per day. It emphasizes the original tastes of ingredients without using any chemical seasonings. In particular, the restaurant uses very special salt, instead of regular sea salt. This special salt is produced only in small amounts by leveling out a mud flat in a traditional way. This is why the restaurant's dishes are tender and refreshing. Its gentle dogs, Us and Kai, are the pride of the restaurant.
