🚗 Travel Tips

  • Due to the narrow alleys of Haenggung-dong, dedicated parking is not available.

  • If you are driving, it is most convenient to use the Sinpung-dong Public Parking Lot, Jangan-dong Public Parking Lot, or Hwaseong Haenggung On-Street Parking Lot (all within a 5-minute walk). (On weekends, these lots fill up very quickly, so using public transportation is highly recommended.)


Meat Tail shatters the prejudice that sandwiches are merely light snacks, elevating them into a hearty, deeply satisfying culinary art. Taste fragrant sandwiches and meat pies in a sophisticated space, and create unforgettable, beautiful moments in Haenggung-dong with your loved ones.
