Price references for these trendy restaurants in Seoul were checked on November 3, 2026. Menus, prices and opening hours may change. The series title covers BTS and international celebrities collectively; it does not mean that every person visited every venue. Some featured visitors are musicians or other public figures rather than Hollywood actors.

This guide rounds up trendy restaurants in Seoul with celebrity connections, from a Hanwoo course in Yeouido to vegan food, Seochon coffee and Seongsu brunch.

Some celebrity food stops reveal a particular way of traveling: following personal taste. A carefully paced Hanwoo course, Danish specialty coffee, a plant-based meal or a sunlit brunch can feel more appealing than a checklist of famous sights.

This installment follows Timothée Chalamet and Billie Eilish through reported Seoul dining stops, while distinguishing the source video’s claims from independently confirmed details.

Woosum: Timothée Chalamet’s Hanwoo stop in Yeouido

During his 2024 visit to promote Dune: Part Two, Timothée Chalamet visited Woosum in Yeouido. A Hanwoo course is a way to spend time with Korean beef beyond simply ordering a single grilled cut.

The published menu lists WOO and SUM courses at different price points. Because course contents and reservation conditions can change, confirm them before booking, and give the meal enough space in your schedule.

Edition Denmark: slow down over coffee in Seochon

Chalamet also visited Edition Denmark’s Seochon showroom, where reporting identified his drink as filter coffee brewed with Coffee Collective beans. The showroom offers a setting to explore Danish coffee, tea and lifestyle products.

However, you do not need to order an identical coffee to enjoy the stop. Ask what beans are available, choose a drink that suits your taste, and leave time to explore Seochon’s streets. Yeouido and Seochon are in different parts of Seoul, so allow for travel between them.

Vegetus: Billie Eilish’s plant-based Seoul

Vegetus in Haebangchon is a vegan restaurant visited by Billie Eilish. A report about her 2018 visit mentions a burrito bowl, caprese salad and blue lemonade. The lentil-patty burger listed below is a restaurant menu option, not a claim about what she personally ordered.

This is a useful stop for visitors who want a plant-based meal while exploring the neighborhood. The reference prices come from a delivery listing, so dine-in prices may differ. Since Haebangchon sits close to Itaewon, it is also easy to combine with other trendy restaurants in Seoul on the same afternoon.

Leedorim: coffee, baking and a Seochon break

Leedorim is another Seoul café associated with a reported Billie Eilish visit. It combines coffee and bakery items in a spacious setting, with vegan options among its offerings.

The current lineup includes both vegan and non-vegan products. For example, if you follow a fully plant-based diet, check the ingredients of the individual pastry or drink rather than assuming the entire menu is vegan.

MitBord Seoul: a brunch stop in Seongsu

The source video identifies MitBord Seoul as a place visited by Anya Taylor-Joy. Separate reporting confirms her presence in Seongsu, but this research did not independently confirm the specific restaurant visit. Treat that connection as a claim made in the video.

MitBord itself is a Danish-style brunch venue, with published menu items including a rye-bread plate, omelets and sourdough pancakes. It can be paired with time around Seoul Forest for a relaxed neighborhood outing. As with many trendy restaurants in Seoul, weekend waits are possible, so checking the current hours before you go is a good idea.

Trendy restaurants in Seoul: choose a neighborhood, not a race

In short, there is no need to visit all five venues in one day. Choose a Hanwoo dinner in Yeouido, coffee and baking in Seochon, a vegan meal in Haebangchon, or brunch in Seongsu. A little extra time for the surrounding streets and shops makes the meal part of a fuller travel experience. In other words, the best way to enjoy trendy restaurants in Seoul is to pair each meal with the neighborhood around it.
