How this ranking works

Koreans pay for most meals by card. Local Rank takes the card payment ranking that BC Card publishes through eat.pl and lists restaurants by how much was spent there last month. Nobody can pay to appear, and reviews play no part.

Big chains, cafés and bars are left out of the restaurant lists. Cafés and pubs have lists of their own.

Each place links to its page on eat.pl, which shows the map, opening hours and busy times. That page is in Korean; Chrome and Safari can translate it.

Local Rank is an independent guide and is not affiliated with or endorsed by BC Card.
