Cote

This modern Korean steakhouse Cote elevates the Korean BBQ concept to new heights. Cuts of USDA prime and American wagyu beef are presented raw at the table, but instead of leaving you to your own devices, a server greases the grill with beef fat and cooks and seasons each piece of meat for you, ensuring each bite is cooked to perfection. The butcher's feast is an excellent choice for first-timers, including four different cuts of meat served with accompaniments of pickled vegetables, spicy kimchi stew, and scallion salad with gochujang vinaigrette and a savoury egg soufflé. You should note that to save the red leaf lettuce and ssam-jang make lettuce wraps with Cote's specially marinated galbi short rib.

Ordinarily, you might have a beer or soju with bulgogi and galbi, but at Cote, you're best off pairing your meal with wine curated by beverage director Victoria James. All glass pours are served by the magnum to keep the wine fresher for longer. Your evening concluded with a shot of Underberg to aid digestion followed by a creamy cloud of vanilla soft serve topped with soy caramel.
