The story
Wei Lou occupies a distinguished address inside the Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas on Teheran-ro, one of Seoul's most prominent boulevards. The restaurant brings classic Chinese cuisine to a setting that matches the hotel's reputation for understated luxury, drawing both business diners and those seeking a considered meal in the Gangnam district.
In 2021, Wine Spectator granted Wei Lou its Award of Excellence — a recognition reserved for restaurants that maintain a wine program of genuine depth and thoughtful curation. For a Chinese restaurant, this distinction speaks to a commitment that extends well beyond the kitchen: the pairing of carefully selected wines with the flavours and textures of Chinese cooking is no small undertaking, and the award reflects a program built with real intention.
Wei Lou is open for both lunch and dinner, making it a versatile choice whether you are stopping in from nearby offices or planning an evening out. The combination of a polished hotel environment, serious Chinese cuisine, and a Wine Spectator-recognised cellar makes it one of the more complete Chinese dining experiences available in Seoul.
