Bangbae Market Local Food Counters (방배 시장 로컬 식당)

Bangbae Market in Seocho-gu has served the residential population of the Bangbae-dong neighbourhood for decades and operates on the functional logic of a district market rather than a tourist destination. The prepared food section in the inner halls has a concentration of lunch counter operations offering homestyle Korean cooking — doenjang jjigae, galchi jorim, assorted jjigae — at prices that reflect local rather than Gangnam visitor rates. The market is busiest from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.; the surrounding streets have several long-running neighbourhood restaurants that operate on the same schedule.
