The Braai Comes to the Expat Heartland

If you’re based in Pyeongtaek and you haven’t been to Braai Republic yet, this is the sign you needed. Established in 2015, this second location of Seoul’s most beloved South African restaurant was built with the expat community in mind — and it shows. Families, groups of friends, military personnel and curious locals all share tables here, drawn in by the smell of grilling meat and kept by the genuine warmth of the place. The open-plan kitchen and cosy dining area make it feel relaxed and unpretentious, exactly the way a proper braai should feel.
What's on the menu?

The menu mirrors the Itaewon original in spirit while adding a few Pyeongtaek-specific touches. Spare ribs, peri-peri half chicken, meat pies and homemade sausages all feature, alongside the lamb chops that have become Braai Republic’s calling card across both locations. The Potjie — a slow-cooked South African stew, rich and deeply flavoured — is a standout worth ordering when available. Portions are deliberately generous, so come hungry. The online store also lets you order fresh meats, biltong and sausages to take home or cook yourself.
Budget: 15,000 – 35,000 KRW per person
