Mi・corazon

At Mi・corazon, the choice ranges from stone-pot bibimbap, its fragrant scorched rice broken through as you eat, to warming, richly flavoured soups. There are dishes to suit different appetites and moods. At lunchtime, set meals come with appetisers, soup and rice. The options include stone-pot bibimbap with pollock roe and a weekly changing main, such as a dish made with thick-cut pork loin; reviews describe people coming for a substantial meal. The soup choices also include mild-tasting samgyetang, generously filled with chicken, and spicy yukgaejang. Both offer a satisfying way to fill out a midday meal.

Dinner choices, from small plates to hot pots

At dinner, the menu opens up to include everything from small appetisers to hearty meat dishes and hot pots. Jeon, Korean savoury pancakes, come in several variations: classic chive, seafood and spring onion, kimchi with cheese, and a less usual combination of green chilli and prosciutto. There are also substantial mains suited to sharing, including nakgopsae, a stew of offal and small octopus, pork-belly bossam, and grilled Sangenton pork loin.

Drinks and Korean tea to complement the meal

Drinks offer plenty of variety alongside the food: fresh and black-bean makgeolli, traditional liquors including 福順都家 (Boksoontoga), and makgeolli cocktails with flavours such as lychee and cassis. Wine, sours and fruity Korean teas add further choices. The range suits an unhurried evening centred on drinks, as well as a meal of small dishes with non-alcoholic options.

The restaurant has counter and table seating, and reviewers have praised the calm atmosphere and attentive hospitality. To finish, there is hotteok with cinnamon and honey sweetness, or cold vanilla ice cream. Together, the choices make it possible to shape the meal to your taste right through to the last dish.
