Why go01
The case for RMW Carne is a butcher's case. RMW describes itself by 'active carnivorism': it sells the popular cuts and the less-asked-for ones, each with its own way of cooking and ageing. GQ Korea wrote in September 2023 that the restaurant had just opened. In August 2024 MICHELIN's inspectors added it to the MICHELIN Guide Seoul, among eight new restaurants; En Primeur Club lists it as a Michelin Plate in 2024 and 2025. The name is a doneness chart in three letters: rare, medium, well-done.

02What to order
- Dry-aged beefCuts from several breeds, aged by RMW's own method; the serious sources give no cut list or house prices.
- House charcuterieSalami, chorizo, pastrami and sausages cured in house, also sold at a shop inside the restaurant (MICHELIN).
- Grilled vegetables and pastaThe lighter side of the menu, per MICHELIN.
- Kimchi fried riceOff the menu; Marie Claire Korea (2025) suggests a sparkling wine with it.
03The beef
MICHELIN says the house dry-ages different cuts from cattle of several breeds, without naming them. GQ Korea credits a dry-ageing method of RMW's own. The RMW brand's online shop sells wagyu upper ribeye (wagyu witdeungsim), Duroc pork neck, sausages and smoked jambon. For the restaurant's beef, no source gives grade, origin or days. The number the house does not publish: days of ageing.
04The story
RMW Carne opened in 2023 as a joint venture of RMW, the dry-aged beef brand, and ILLEGAL, a barbecue brand. It sits up a flight of stairs, on the second floor of a renovated old house: a small, warm room, in MICHELIN's description, and a steak on a terrace in Hannam-dong, in Marie Claire's.
