At Sol, the contemporary Korean restaurant by Solstice Culinary Space on Lyndhurst Terrace, head chef GwanJu Kim’s French training and Korean roots come together in one poised menu.
Growing up on a family farm outside Seoul with both his mother and grandmother laid the foundations for Kim’s ingredient-driven cooking. He later honed his technique at one-Michelin-starred L’Amant Secret in Seoul and three-Michelin-starred Odette in Singapore. At Sol, Kim blends Western methods with the flavours of Korean home cooking to create a menu that feels contemporary yet nostalgic – and Jeonbok, a dish built around abalone and seaweed, is one of its clearest statements.
The dish appears on both the lunch and dinner tasting menus, offering familiar flavours reinterpreted through Western techniques and chef Kim’s eye for texture, plating and wine pairing.
