Alla Prima () is a distinguished fine dining establishment located in Seoul, South Korea, founded in 2015. It was awarded one Michelin star in both 2017 and 2018, and subsequently received two stars consecutively from 2019 until 2023.
Chef Kim Jin-hyuk (), who hails from a family involved in the bakery business, honed his skills through training in Japan and accumulated experience working within Korean restaurants as well as a leading food company before opening Alla Prima. Originally accommodating only 16 guests, the restaurant encountered financial difficulties at first but rose to prominence by aiming for recognition during the Michelin Guide’s initial coverage of Seoul. It has since moved to a more spacious location.
The cuisine at Alla Prima is a fusion of Japanese cuisine and Western culinary traditions. The venue features an open kitchen concept and provides wine pairings selected by a professional sommelier.
