Read guide →Western food has been localized in Seoul over decades, emerging as something distinctly Korean in the process. Demi-glace pork cutlets, cream pasta with kimchi, and French-style brunch menus sit alongside Italian pizza and American burgers in Seoul's eclectic restaurant landscape. Many younger Korean chefs trained abroad and returned to open restaurants that blend European technique with Korean ingredients and sensibility.
Gangnam-gu is Seoul's upscale business and entertainment district south of the Han River. Home to K-pop entertainment companies, COEX Mall, and the Apgujeong-Rodeo shopping strip, it attracts young professionals, tourists, and K-drama fans. Restaurants here tend toward the polished and premium, with a density of international cuisine, high-end Korean dining, and trendy cafés.
Everything I tried so far has been really delicious. Their original basque cheesecake is a must-have for your first visit. We also tried their red velvet donut dessert and that turned out surprisingly great with the mascarpone ice cream. It pairs super well with the oven baked red velvet cake. We also tried their signature vodka rigatoni, so good!
Korean barbecue is great but I love the steak here. Of course the super high-end Korean barbecue they don’t even put salt and they let you add it to taste. But the steak here is the way I like it because it’s similar to how they do it in America. The cheesecake was very, very good Instead of looks like it has melted in a puddle but the tasty and it’s not super sweet. I highly recommend this place and it’s next to the sushi place that I love in the same basement

Wow.. Honestly, I expected it to be greasy because of my memory of being so disappointed when I went to a cheese bar not long ago, but I had a really good dinner. I ordered abalone pot rice and sun dry flat bread, and I was amazed that the young radish kimchi that came with it really went well with the menu. I really want to give you the first place in the cheese cake I recently ate. I was very impressed and I'm really proud that there is a restaurant like this in Korea. I strongly recommend you to visit it.
