About

Keeping to the basics

Gu Table is a hanjeongsik house that puts care and the season into a single meal, built on the deep, unhurried cooking of Jeolla province.

Rather than chase flourish, the kitchen keeps to the basics, so the room stays easy and the meal itself holds your attention.

What finishes a hanjeongsik table is not the main dish alone. The side dishes are made to sit well with rice rather than to shout, and each one prepared that day is what balances the table as a whole.

From choosing the ingredients to cooking and laying the table — keeping to the basics.

A full table at Gu Table: grilled fish, beef tartare, a plate of prawns and mushrooms, stir-fried octopus and leaf vegetables, set out along a wooden table.

Signature

Our signature dishes

What the house puts in front of you first.

Boribeolgulbi set: grilled dried corvina on a long plate, with a spoonful of rice lifted from a bowl of clear broth.
一

Dried corvina set (boribeolgulbi)

₩40,000

Corvina dried slowly over a long stretch, for depth without salt-heaviness. Soft and nutty against rice — an easy first hanjeongsik for anyone new to it.

Seasonal braised fish: pieces of fish simmered in a red seasoned broth, served on a teal plate.
二

Seasonal braised fish set

₩50,000

Cooked with whatever fish is fresh that day, so the taste turns with the season. The deep Jeolla seasoning is there, held back just enough to leave the fish itself intact.

The House

A house built around a courtyard

A house built around a courtyard, down a side street off Jongno 31-gil. With the folding glass doors open, the yard and the dining room run straight into each other.

Paintings hang on the grey brick wall of the yard, with potted flowers and earthenware jars below. After dark the lights strung along the eaves come on. Inside, the room is white-walled, hung with pictures and lit by a chandelier.

In spring and autumn, when the air is soft, you can eat out in the courtyard. Guests arriving with a dog can settle at the outdoor tables together.

It suits a family meal, an occasion that matters, or a gathering of friends. Group seating can be arranged for up to 50, and the house can be booked whole.

The courtyard at Gu Table: a mural of figures on the grey brick wall, a folk-art tiger painting propped on an easel, potted flowers and earthenware jars, and two outdoor tables set with flowers.
