L'Amitié (; ) is an upscale dining establishment located in Seoul, South Korea, that focuses on French cuisine. Since its founding in 1999, it has consistently held one Michelin star from 2018—the year the Seoul Michelin guide was first published—through to 2024.
Description
The restaurant was initially launched in 1999, with Seo Seung-ho recognized as its original proprietor. In 2006, Jang Myoung-sik took over as both head chef and owner, reportedly leaving a secure position and taking on financial obligations to purchase the venue.
By 2014, L'Amitié was operating out of a very compact space featuring only two tables and served exclusively by reservation. The owner mentioned that a Michelin Guide inspector visited prior to the official launch of the Seoul guide and considered the restaurant deserving of recognition. As of 2024, the establishment has moved to a new location.
