Grand Hyatt Incheon introduces year-end signature dishes

Restaurant 8, located on the first floor of the East Tower of Grand Hyatt Incheon, has launched the “Signature Menu of the Year” until Dec. 31. 

The course includes five dishes from around the world which were the most popular from Restaurant 8’s “Journey” promotion, which took place throughout the year.

The main dish is the black chicken soup, originally presented during the summer, to give guests strength in the freezing winter. Strawberry sable breton -- a kind of almond biscuit -- provides guests with a sweet finale.
