With a pastel, chandelier-filled interior meant to evoke the palace of Versailles, it’s discombobulating to look out the window and see the thousands of lights from Seoul’s ultramodern skyscrapers glowing in the distance. This sophisticated French restaurant opened by three Michelin-starred Pierre Gagnaire is the star chef’s third outpost in Asia, and the menu is a foodie’s dream with options including shiitake mushroom risotto with green peppercorn foam, rabbit leg confit with aromatic herbs and wild rice, and seared langoustine served with frothed olive oil flavored with passion fruit, enoki and peas. 1 Sogong-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul
