The Lunch Factory Owners and Workers Shared

Fast, hot, food meant for sharing. Before hunting for a new restaurant, read what working hours this alley's lunch was originally built around.

Mullae's restaurant row took shape around workers' lunch hours long before being introduced as a food destination.

Menus built for a short break

For both factory owners and workers, lunch was never a long affair. Food that could be eaten fast within a short break, served hot, and easy to share among several people became the basic condition for restaurants in this alley.

Before looking for a new spot

New cafés and restaurants have recently opened in this alley too. But wherever you eat, knowing that this alley's food culture was originally built around working hours changes how you see even an ordinary meal.
