About Korea

Food

Food is the number one industry in Korea.  Restaurants and street vendors are everywhere.  Korean cuisine has something for everyone, whether you're a seafood lover, meat lover or vegetarian. Typical Korean food is often cooked with hot pepper paste, so many dishes are quite spicy, but for those who cannot tolerate spicy food there are many other Korea dishes from which to choose.

The average Korean meal at a sit-down restaurant costs about $5 CAD.  Chinese and Japanese cuisine is also readily available, and many places serve North-American and Italian-style foods.  The larger cities have several popular North American restaurant chains such as Kentucky Fried Chicken, McDonalds, TGI Fridays, The Outback Steakhouse, Pizza Hut, and Burger King.  The caf?has become very trendy in Korea.  Popular coffee bar chains include The Coffee Bean, The Tea Leaf and Starbucks.
