Pet Cafes — where it’s feasible to pet raccoons, sheep, meerkats, reptiles, felines, or canines. While partaking in an espresso drink or smoothie — have become so well known in Seoul that their number has almost multiplied in the beyond two years.
In the same way as other guests. I was captivated by the possibility of meeting a meerkat over my macchiato. Truth be told, I was excessively interested to the point that I chose to visit whatever number creature bistros in Seoul as could be allowed while I was housesitting for a month in Incheon.
Be that as it may, it’s not simply vacationers who visit the bistros: Koreans do, as well. With Seoul’s populace thickness twofold that of New York City. Most city occupants live in elevated structure condos. Aconsiderable lot of which don’t permit creatures. Also, Korean culture’s accentuation on difficult work implies extended periods of time; Koreans have the third-longest normal week of work on the planet, passing on brief period to really focus on pets. In the wake of managing the anxieties of city life and a 60-hour work week, here and there all Koreans need is to taste a cappuccino and snuggle a kitty. Truth be told, each bistro I visited had a larger number of local people than vacationers.
Thanks Nature Cafe — Sheep
Next up was Thanks Nature Cafe, one of Seoul’s most established creature bistros, that highlights sheep. Old photographs on the web show the sheep wandering among the bistro’s tables, however in the bistro’s new area in the hip Hongdae District, the sheep are in a different pen outside the confined bistro. Benefactors of the bistro can enter the pen and pet the sheep, who appeared to savor the consideration.
Meerkat Friends Cafe — Meerkats And More
By a long shot, the most disillusioning of the creature bistros I visited was the Meerkat Friends Cafe, situated close to the Hongdae District. As I was entering, I ran into a gathering of American and European travelers in transit out and asked their impressions. They griped about the sharp smell and communicated worries about the creatures’ government assistance.
Table A — Meerkats, Raccoons, Turtles, Chameleons, And More
My number one creature bistro was a real bistro with individual tables to sit at and taste an espresso or surf the web. Likewise situated in the Hongdae District, Table A had three stories, each with various creatures. I entered from the road through the kitchen, which was cut off from the where the creatures wandered, causing me to feel like my latte would be sans hide. The extra charge was 10,000 won ($8), and just beverages were served (additional expense).
Koopet Cafe And Pet Store — Tortoises
One more of my top picks was Koopet Cafe and Pet Store, which highlighted a focal finished aquarium for a considerable length of time. Guests could reach over the edge and feed the reptiles lettuce suspended from utensils. The charming bistro had no fee at the door and highlighted agreeable tables to unwind at and partake in some espresso. Toward the rear of the bistro was a pet store where you could purchase snakes, chameleons, geckos, or tarantulas.
