Christmas Dinners in Seoul

There’s nothing quite like digging into cuts of smoked turkey while the Christmas tree lights sparkle and your family struggles to stay awake after gobbling up plates of mashed potatoes. Except the same with sweet potatoes.

Plenty of Christmas dinners are available all around Seoul and we’ll be listing them right up to the holiday proper. Whether you’re looking for turkey, ham, lamb or something else altogether, we’ve got a list of recommendations just for you.

Ciuri Ciuri

If you’re looking for a Sicilian style Christmas dinner, or just good food really, Ciuri Ciuri has a Christmas dinner menu that is 100% worth the price. Each dinner course comes with pumpkin cream risotto, pork loin with white wine, sage sauce and potato gateau along with Italian panettone with a lemon custard cream. Just… wow. Check their Facebook page for details.

Dragon Hill Lodge

The Deli at the Dragon Hill Lodge on the Yongsan US Military base offers 3 different take-home Christmas dinners. There’s roast tom turkey (serves 6), 40-oz prime rib (serves 4), and the 5-lbs lobster (serves 2-3). We’re big fans of the turkey ourselves, but we’ve only heard good things about the other meals too. Remember, since the Dragon Hill Lodge is located on the Itaewon US military base, you’ll have to pick up your meal from the visitor’s parking lot. Check their website for more details.
