La Suisse Seochon (라 스위스 서촌) is a Swiss home-cooking restaurant at Jahamun-ro 6-gil 11-36 in Tongui-dong, the Seochon neighbourhood just west of Gyeongbokgung Palace. EatHub's records show it on Master of Living (episode 723, for its rösti) and Tasty Guys (episode 285, Swiss food), and it carries EatHub's Master badge. It is an unusual find in a district better known for hanok alleys and Korean classics.
What to order
EatHub lists Swiss home-style dishes, fondue, rösti (crispy grated potato) and steak on the menu. The price level is shown as ₩₩₩₩, so this is a sit-down meal rather than a quick snack. If it is your first visit, start with one or two signatures, such as fondue and rösti, before adding more.
How to eat
Share the fondue at the table and keep dipping while the pot is hot. Eat the rösti soon after it arrives, while the edges are still crisp. Seasoning may feel unfamiliar after a week of Korean food, so ask the staff about the cooking style before ordering if you have preferences.
When to go
EatHub lists hours of 11:30-21:30 with a break from 15:00 to 17:30 and a last order time of 19:45. Plan lunch before the break or arrive early for dinner, since last orders come well before closing.
Around the area
Seochon is made for walking. The Daelim Museum is a few minutes away, small galleries line the side streets, and Gyeongbokgung Palace and the National Palace Museum are a short walk east. Sajik Park sits at the southern end of the neighbourhood.
