Description
A gorgeous, intimate dining experience serving western fusion with a focus on pasta. This is a hip, hidden gem that doesnt even have a sign other than an image of a wine glass. Stunning setting. Reservations recommended.

Tasting Museum offers fine dining in a hanok hidden away down a side street. The restaurant is entirely unmarked and we recommend making a reservation before you go just to be sure you can be seated. The setting is intimated, the food is fancy Italian fusion, and they have wines and beers to go perfectly with your meal. The prices are both high and low depending on what you want to order.
