Here are all 35 restaurants awarded one star in the 2026 Michelin Guide Seoul & Busan: 31 in Seoul and 4 in Busan. Seoul restaurants come first, followed by Busan, and within each city they're arranged by name. It's the full list, so you can narrow down your options by area and cuisine when looking for a special place to dine.
Even with the same single star, Korean, sushi, French, Cantonese, Mexican, and vegan courses differ in dining style and ingredients. Start by deciding whether you want a new take on familiar Korean food, Japanese cuisine at a counter, or a genre outside your usual. In Busan, you can look up the four restaurants separately: Ledohe, Mori, Palette, and Fiotto.
Each item covers the restaurant's culinary direction and the location listed in the guide. If you're traveling, look for places near your accommodation and route; for an anniversary dinner, read with your party's food preferences and the setting you want in mind. The ratings and list are based on the 2026 evaluation, and you can check the actual menu, prices, opening days, and reservation methods at the time of your visit.
