Soigné (lit. 'well-groomed';[1] Korean: 스와니예) is a fine dining restaurant in Seoul, South Korea. It serves contemporary cuisine,[1] and first opened in 2015.[2] It received one Michelin star from the first year the guide was offered in Seoul in 2017 through 2022. In 2023,[2] 2024[3] and 2025 it received two Michelin stars.[4]
Soigné's head chef, Jun Lee, attended Kyung Hee University and The Culinary Institute of America.[2] He worked at the Michellin-starred restaurant Per Se under chef Thomas Keller.[5] After returning to South Korea, he started a number of pop up restaurants beginning in 2013. With the proceeds from these ventures, he eventually started Soigné in 2015.[6][2]
The restaurant's menu reportedly changes every three months. It serves dishes from various traditions, including American cuisine, European cuisine, and Korean cuisine.[2] The restaurant's signature dish is reportedly the Seorae Snail: an escargot dish that blends elements of Eastern and Western cuisine.[5]
