Bicena
South Korea
Bicena presents contemporary Korean dining on the 81 stfloor of Lotte World Tower in Seoul. Its high-rise address connects the meal with the city’s skyline, while the cooking draws on Korean traditions rather than adopting an international hotel-restaurant menu. The restaurant combines established Korean culinary ideas with modern presentation. Food is served on Korean ceramics, making the tableware part of the experience and giving the dishes a material connection to the country’s craft traditions. Korean alcohol accompanies the cuisine, offering another route into the restaurant’s cultural focus. Bicena is particularly relevant for diners who want to experience Korean cooking in a formal setting, with the height and architecture of Lotte World Tower adding a distinctive context to the meal.
