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.
Yeongdeungpo-gu's Times Square mall and Yeouido financial district generate a diverse food scene of department store restaurants, business lunch spots, and the Han River cycling culture that has made outdoor food and coffee culture a fixture of the waterfront.
The food wasn't particularly good, just average. There are only two tables with a view of the Han River. You'll probably need to make a reservation in advance. The remaining tables have a city view. The bathroom was clean. There's a parking lot behind the building, with parking available both inside the tower and outside. It was fine on weekdays, but weekends seemed a bit lacking. That's it!
The Han River view makes for a great atmosphere, and the prices are reasonable. The pizza and pasta are also quite tasty, and the brunch menu was also excellent.

It was a very satisfying lunch, not only delicious but also generous in portions! We went with a group and ordered a variety of dishes, and there wasn't a single dish that I was disappointed with. I hadn't even thought about the Han River view when I went during the day, but perhaps because it was on a high floor, the view was amazing and the open feeling was amazing. I definitely want to go back for a date in the evening.
