Myeongdong is a mecca for shoppers in Seoul. Its strategic location with tons of hotels and guesthouses surrounding it has made it so popular with tourists and even celebrities to do their guerilla date and filming. One of my favorite shops would be the cosmetics shops. The Nature Republic is a huge store opposite Uni-Qlo. The customer service from all the shops were fantastic even if you speak little or none of Korean language. The massive spending power from China and Japanese tourists have made this area a super shopping paradise. You can never resist the restaurants and coffee shops around Myeongdong area!
My credit card was sort of 'damaged' as well after purchasing from BeanPole boutique and some shops as well. I spend a few hundred on Nature Republic and Laneige for its skincare, masks, cosmetics, handcream..etc. I will name you some of the great restaurants in Myeongdong to try. Yoogane Restaurant, Wangbijip Restaurant, Gogung Restaurant, Twosome Place, Drop Top Coffee, Caffe Benne, Paris Baguette, Tous Les Jous, Holly's Coffee, Angel in Us Coffee, Myeongdong Kyoja restaurant, Baekje Samgyetang Restaurant, Oppadak Fried Chicken Restaurant.
What I find amazing is the coffee houses serve great waffles, pancakes or thick toasts topped with crushed almonds or fresh whipped cream along with banana or mango. The price is not cheap but it's delicious!
