Eatanic Garden (Korean이타닉가든) is a fine dining restaurant in Seoul, South Korea. The restaurant serves contemporary cuisine, with some dishes taking inspiration from Korean cuisine.[1] It received one Michelin Star from 2023 through 2024.[2] In 2024, it received a Michelin Service Award.[3]

The name of the restaurant is a pun. In the Korean term for "botanic garden", 식물원; sikmulwon, sik ("living") has a homophone that means "eat". This pun has been rendered into English as "Eatanic Garden".[4]

The restaurant's head chef is Son Jong-won, whom also runs the restaurant L'Amant Secret. That restaurant is also in Seoul and Michelin-starred. Son trained at The Culinary Institute of America.[1] He worked in Noma in Denmark and Quince in San Francisco, United States.[5] Son received a "New Talents of the Year 2024" award from La Liste.[6][5]
