If you want a really nice place to go and enjoy dinner one night and you are in Chuncheon I would suggest going to VIPS near the bus terminal/e-mart. The food is delicious and it has a nice, relaxed atmosphere. According to Jason this is one of the very few places you will find a "Western" atmosphere in Korea.I had heard about VIPS briefly before so I knew steak was on the menu but when we arrived and made our way up the stairwell with multiple mirrors (very cool entrance) I was surprised by all of the options that awaited our tastebuds.
To eat you have a few options: there is a salad bar that is more than just a salad bar... it consists of many different types of salad, tacos you can make yourself, sushi, pizza, pasta, chicken, and dessert! Who knew a salad bar could have so many options? There is obviously more than just a salad bar though, you can have different cuts of steak or several different types of seafood. Jason and I ordered seasoned prime tenderloin (trips to the salad bar were included).
We also had some "Wineade" (a very sweet drink that tasted like wine mixed with 7up). I am not sure how Jason managed to get this picture of me without my noticing but kudos to him for managing it. :)
The steak was awesome. Such a treat!It even comes with a "Safety Fence" that surrounds it. In order to eat this delicious looking piece of meat you have to remove the "Safety Fence" and cut up the meat and let it cook on the stone dish. The meat is still raw when it arrives at your table and is resting on a small pile of mushrooms, onions, and other veggies (yum!). This allows you the pleasure of cooking your meat from still mooing to well-done.
Between the salad bar and the steak, Jason and I were pretty full... but what meal is complete without a little something for dessert?
The company was perfect, the food was excellent, and it was a wonderful night in Chuncheon. :DThank you Jason and VIPS for a fantastic night!
