Where to Eat in Seoul This Halloween: Mongvely Korean BBQ
October in Seoul transforms the city into something magical — neon lights glow brighter, the streets of Myeongdong fill with laughter and costumes, and the crisp autumn air carries the smell of roasted chestnuts, caramel popcorn… and sizzling Korean BBQ.
If you’re visiting Seoul this Halloween, you’ll quickly notice something — locals here don’t just celebrate Halloween with candy and parties; they celebrate it with food, style, and social gatherings. And at the heart of that experience sits something timeless and comforting: Korean BBQ.
Welcome to Myeongdong Mongvely Korean BBQ, your ultimate stop for delicious eats, cozy vibes, and an authentic Seoul dining experience this Halloween season.
Halloween in Seoul — More Than Just Costumes
In Seoul, Halloween is celebrated with a creative, youthful energy. Streets like Hongdae, Itaewon, and Myeongdong transform into a vibrant blend of costumes, themed desserts, and flashing lights. But beyond the costumes and nightlife, there’s one thing locals and visitors share — a love for good food.
If you’re spending Halloween in Myeongdong, you’ll find pop-up photo zones, themed cafés, and beauty stores like Olive Young offering limited-edition Halloween packaging. And just a short walk away, the smoky scent of BBQ draws hungry visitors upstairs — to Mongvely, where Seoul’s Halloween excitement meets true Korean comfort food.
