Soigné (lit. 'well-groomed'; Korean: 스와니예) is a fine dining restaurant in Seoul, South Korea. It serves contemporary cuisine, and first opened in 2015. It received one Michelin star from the first year the guide was offered in Seoul in 2017 through 2022. In 2023 and 2024 it received two Michelin stars.
Description
Soigné's head chef, Jun Lee, attended Kyung Hee University and The Culinary Institute of America. He worked at the Michellin-starred restaurant Per Se under chef Thomas Keller. After returning to South Korea, he started a number of pop up restaurants beginning in 2013. With the proceeds from these ventures, he eventually started Soigné in 2015.
The restaurant's menu reportedly changes every three months. It serves dishes from various traditions, including American cuisine, European cuisine, and Korean cuisine. The restaurant's signature dish is reportedly the Seorae Snail: an escargot dish that blends elements of Eastern and Western cuisine.
