Located near Schwedenplatz in the 1st district, Babida is one of the younger Korean restaurants joining the ranks. This popular place is serving up a variety of dishes from the owner’s childhood, ranging from Bibimbap and Kimchi Stew to Korean Fried Chicken.
They’re also proving to be a popular spot amongst hot potters (no, that is not a hot version of Harry Potter lookalikes – sorry, lame). Their hot pot and Korean BBQ are both great options if you’re looking to enjoy a long, drawn-out meal with your mates in which you get to interact with your food.
Their hot pots come in 3 varieties – Bulgogi Jeongol (Beef), Kimchi Jeongol, and Gamja Tang (Pork Back). If you’re new to hot potting, it’s very simple – you get a huge pot of tasty soup broth in the middle of the table and you and your dinner party go ahead and throw stuff in (well, you don’t have to throw it), including a bunch of raw ingredients out of the East Asian kitchen.
Their Korean BBQ doesn’t have as much variety, but you can choose between Galbisal (Beef) and Samgyopsal (Pork). Korean BBQ is as it sounds – a BBQ-like hot plate is placed in the middle of the table and you and your mates get to work grilling up all kinds of marinade meats and veggies.
