Obar

Obar is a relaxed and informal place to tuck into a tantalising array of sizzling dishes. If you’re in the heart of the city and hankering for something to eat, you’re in luck - this Korean haunt is here to answer prayers.

For sharing, start your feast off with a bowlful of fried dumplings, or something lighter like the beef brisket chives salad. Their steamed edamame is also always a favourite to nibble on while waiting on other dishes.

On to the mains, the stew gang is strong, with options like the playful spicy soft tofu stew getting rave reviews, but their kimchi pot stew is also always a sure bet. And if you find yourself leaning towards Korean BBQ, their BBQ pork belly (yes, you cook it yourself) is worth the wait.

And to sip? When it comes to downing a couple of cocktails, Obar has got your back. Mixing much-loved classics with some South Korean surprises, their menu is full of interesting handiwork. Opt for one of their many soju tipples for some seriously extra credibility, or just sip on one of their non-alcoholic drinks until you’re feeling lively enough to delve into the soju glasses hashtag deep.
