Meet the Restaurant Team

This show features a group of well-known actors who take on the challenge of running a real restaurant. They cook, serve, and manage everything themselves!

Season 1 Team

The first season took place on Gili Trawangan, an island in Indonesia.

Season 2 Team

For the second season, the team moved their restaurant to Garachico, a town in Spain.

What's on the Menu?

Each season, the restaurant focused on a special Korean dish. They also added new items as they learned what customers liked!
