Conrad SeoulFrom July 16 to 18: The Conrad Seoul is organizing a Canadian Lobster Festival, presented by two-star Michelin chef Jonathan Gushue at the hotel’s signature restaurant, 37 Grill & Bar.

The lobsters that are harvested in the extremely cold water feature a superlative flavor and texture.

For the main course, guests can enjoy homegrown cattle and roasted lobster tail with pine nuts, dark beer and black garlic puree.
Lastly, a sunflower bavarois dessert with a cream mousse and sunflower seeds, topped with peach ice or granita, will be served for dessert.
The six-course dinner menu will be served from 6 p.m. through 10 p.m. The price is 160,000 ($158) won per person, including taxes.
