The story
Les Bourgeois occupies a quiet address just off Gangnam-daero in Seoul's Sinsa neighbourhood, offering a French and European dining experience that has earned the restaurant a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in 2024 — a distinction that speaks directly to the quality of what arrives in both glass and plate.
The Wine Spectator Award of Excellence is not handed out lightly. It recognises wine lists that show careful selection, thematic focus, and genuine harmony with the food on offer. That Les Bourgeois holds this recognition places it among a selective group of Seoul restaurants where the wine programme is treated as seriously as the kitchen itself — a rare thing, and a reliable signal for guests who care about what they drink alongside their meal.
Les Bourgeois operates as a dinner destination, which shapes the entire atmosphere of the room. An evening here is unhurried, built around the rhythm of a French and European menu where each course has space to be appreciated. The Sinsa address — tucked along a quieter stretch of Gangnam — reinforces that sense of remove from the city's bustle without asking guests to travel far from its centre.
For anyone in Seoul seeking a French table where the wine list has been recognised at an international level, Les Bourgeois is a considered choice.
