Born & Bred

Seoul, South Korea

Indulge in the finest Korean beef at Born & Bred, where traditional and modern dining are set against the backdrop of Korea’s biggest butchery district, majang-dong

 

Born & Bred is a premier destination for fans of Korean beef, appropriately located in Majang-dong, the district that’s home to the nation’s biggest meat market. It was established by Sangwon Jung, whose deep roots in Hanwoo distribution inform the restaurant’s offerings. Born & Bred provides two distinct dining experiences: a relaxed butcher’s restaurant where guests can savour perfectly grilled Korean beef, and a sophisticated space designed for an omakase-style tasting menu centred around the esteemed meat. The diverse menu features a wide range of options—from traditional Korean dishes to global creations like gourmet burgers, a Hanwoo tenderloin katsu sando and Hanwoo pho simmered for two days—all showcasing the meat’s exceptional quality.
