The story
alla prima serves a chef's tasting course at 13 Hakdong-ro 17-gil in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and holds two Michelin stars for 2026 for excellent cooking. The restaurant is a small, reservation-only room on the first floor of its building, with lunch and dinner both built around the same tasting format.
Lunch and dinner both follow the chef's tasting course, and prices may vary from visit to visit. Lunch runs about 1.5 to 2 hours, while dinner takes 2.5 to 3 hours. The Black Pearl Restaurant Guide awarded the restaurant 1 Diamond in 2026, a separate recognition alongside its Michelin stars.
The dining room seats 28 guests, with 8 counter seats and 14 table seats. A private room holds six to eight people for groups. The house asks guests to keep phones on silent, avoid strong perfumes, leave outside food and drink at home, and refrain from video recording.
