Foodie Seoul: Culinary Class Wars
Market culture first; chef dining only with a confirmed booking. Use this three-day framework around the table you actually secure.
No verified whole-trip total is published. Add each place’s admission, meals and return transport; accommodation, flights and vehicle hire must be priced separately.
Suggested arrival times, not opening hours or booked departures. Check the linked place’s visiting conditions before setting out; skip a closed stop.
Day 1Street level — the flavor foundation
10:00
1. Gwangjang Market →K-SPOT has not found an official source confirming the market as a filming location for this series. It is a cultural context and a practical alternative to a hard-to-book restaurant. Walk one lane before ordering, choose one or two foods you want, and ask before filming a vendor at close range.
Food street: Official listing currently notes 09:00–23:00; stalls vary (2026-09-08) · General market: Official listing currently notes Sunday closure; verify before travel (2026-09-08)
Food-street and general-market hours differ; individual vendors set their own schedule.
14:00
2. Myeongdong Shopping Street →Myeongdong appears in Visit Seoul’s K-POP Demon Hunters-themed itinerary. Treat it as a real shopping district behind an animated city, not a live-action set.
Choose one shopping list or a food stop near your central-Seoul route; do not try to reproduce an animated street layout literally.
17:30
Myeongdong Kyoja — Main Branch →No verified international online booking link is provided. Go to the main-branch queue and confirm how to order with staff; for access or group questions call +82-2-776-5348. Waiting time is not guaranteed. Current menu prices were not confirmed from a primary menu source. Read the posted price for each noodle bowl and dumpling order before paying; sharing dumplings or ordering extra food changes the total. Do not assume complimentary refills.
Numbered pins show the listed places in visit order, not verified entrances or a walkable route. Unnumbered meals and optional stops are not plotted. Check each transfer separately. Transfer links below also include named restaurant branches in itinerary order. Unspecified meal breaks have no fixed destination; choose one before checking that transfer.
Day 2One booked table, then a flexible afternoon
11:00
1. COEX K-pop Square →Visit Seoul includes COEX in a K-POP Demon Hunters-inspired itinerary. Animation inspiration is not a live-action filming claim or an idol appearance schedule.
Choose the outdoor screen plus an indoor COEX visit if you are already in Gangnam. Skip a special detour for an unannounced artist advertisement.
12:30
Choi Dot →Use Choidot on CATCHTABLE Global. Review the selected course, cancellation rules and dietary restrictions before paying. The venue lists no children or pets; contact it before booking a family meal. The booking page lists lunch KRW 118,000 and dinner KRW 198,000–218,000 per person. These are meal prices, not a promise of drinks included. Two lunches start at KRW 236,000 before extras; check the chosen date and course.
16:00
2. The Hyundai Seoul →Official tourism sources identify The Hyundai Seoul as the drama’s Queens Department Store. Go for the architecture and public interiors; let current shops and exhibitions be part of the real visit.
Retail hours: Monday–Thursday 10:30–20:00; Friday–Sunday 10:30–20:30 (2026-09-11) · Restaurant hours: Listed separately to 22:00 (2026-09-11)
Retail hours differ from restaurant hours.
Numbered pins show the listed places in visit order, not verified entrances or a walkable route. Unnumbered meals and optional stops are not plotted. Check each transfer separately. Transfer links below also include named restaurant branches in itinerary order. Unspecified meal breaks have no fixed destination; choose one before checking that transfer.
Day 3Yongsan — a flexible neighbourhood meal
12:00
Meal break near your route
Choose a restaurant near the preceding stop after checking today’s opening hours, menu and price. This is a flexible meal break, not a reserved table or filming-location claim.
15:00
1. Itaewon Main Street & Alleys →Seoul Tourism’s official filming route includes Itaewon businesses such as G Guesthouse and ALUU after Noksapyeong. Choose one independent meal or venue and accept that storefronts evolve beyond the drama.
Street access: Public streets open; individual venues set their own hours and holidays (2026-09-11)
Public streets are always accessible; business hours vary.
18:30

Route tips
- Markets provide culinary context, not proof that the competition filmed there. Build the chef day around one confirmed booking, its actual branch and menu price. Do not book two tasting menus just to fill this timeline.
