Mongtan - Introduction
Mongtan, known as one of Seoul's top 3 BBQ restaurants, is the hottest meat restaurant among the MZ generation. Even arriving at 11 AM on weekdays, you might get waiting number 49 on Catch Table and wait 2 hours 40 minutes. Their signature dish is Udae Galbi grilled over straw fire, and you can watch the spectacular performance of grilling meat over a giant straw fire pit at the entrance. The spacious two-story interior features antique yet modern decor, making it a famous spot for Instagram photos. Each serving of Udae Galbi weighs 280g (including bone), rich with juices and distinctive smoky aroma from the straw fire. The accompanying doenjang jjigae and steamed egg are also excellent when paired with the meat. Reservations are not available - only on-site waiting is possible, so arriving before opening time is strongly recommended. On weekends, expect waits of 3+ hours, but the taste is absolutely worth it. With over 100,000 posts under #몽탄 on Instagram, it has become a must-visit destination for the MZ generation.
