Seoul City government has published a new food and restaurant guide in three foreign languages for travelers visiting the city, officials said Tuesday.

The booklet named “Soul Food of Seoul” recommends representative Korean dishes and the 10 must-visit restaurants in the city and is available in English, Chinese and Japanese. It introduces various dining places on popular food streets such as Shindang-dong Tteokboggi (rice cake with spicy sauce) Alley, Hamheung Naengmyun (cold noodle) street and Jangchung-dong Jokbal (pig’s foot) Alley. A number of trendy coffee houses are also listed in the booklet for young travelers, officials said.

The city has also published a separate food guide for vegetarians that lists restaurants that serve bibimbap and other dishes made of tofu.

“I hope the publications will help foreigners enjoy food in the city,” said Seo Jeong-hyup, director general of the city government’s tourism policy bureau. For more information, visit www.visitseoul.net.
