I went to Apgujeong with my mother to serve delicious food, and the food you mentioned was pasta.

Respoir came to mind when I was thinking about nearby restaurants in the category of Korean food, Chinese food, Japanese food. After eating it, I had a good date with my mother, but it wasn't the pasta I wanted to eat.

This is a French restaurant. It is a place where you can eat the classic French course, and I recommend you to try it, especially since the onion soup melts your heart.

I called Lespoir and asked if there was a seat because it was obvious that there would be a line at all the famous places to visit without a reservation. Luckily, there was only one seat for 2 people left, and there is usually a reservation fee of 30,000 won per person, but when he said that he would arrive in 15 minutes, he said that he could just come.

Since it was a weekend, I used the Goumet course (120,000 won). For lunch on weekdays, you can choose a course with a lower price.

Spring has come to Mingles ๐ŸŒฑ Recently ranked 16th in the 2022 Asiaโ€™s 50 Best, I didnโ€™t book because of the ranking, but seeing the recent announcement made me more excited. Itโ€™s been a while since I treated my mother... itโ€™s not really for her, but because I wanted to eat so much, I came with her regardless of her will. Seasonal clams, cutlassfish seaweed roll, sweet shrimp & caviar sesame toast, buckwheat ice cake, Korean beef cabbage wrap, Jeju blackthroat seaperch, strawberry kombucha, Korean beef rib patty & grilled abalone, lamb ribs, glutinous rice ice cream, sauce trio, mushroom ice cream, and sweets for dessert. Choose 1 main dish, choose 1 dessert. There are also additional menus, and we had extra anchovy noodles. The healthy and delicious taste of seasonal ingredients is too good ๐Ÿ˜Œ Since it was a weekday lunch, we skipped the alcohol pairing. My mother unusually asked me twice not to drink, and I said I was fine twice. Next time, we plan to come on a more leisurely weekend lunch! Well eaten ๐Ÿ™

Coming to a wine bar and not getting drunk feels unfair, right? I've been really excited about coming here since I was attracted by its unique interior. SAVV Seoul, the urban winery opened by the wine distributor, Winenara. From the moment you enter, youโ€™ll be in awe. It felt like I had entered a new world through the wardrobe of 'The Chronicles of Narnia'. The availability of a wide range of glass wines was the biggest charm. Usually, the types of house wines are limited, and pairing wine with food is expensive, but they seem to live in a different world. Glass wines start at KRW 3,900 and the overall price range is very reasonable. I was happy to get recommendations for wines that go well with food, without any burden. The quality of the food also amazed me...

I found the Elcano, a spanish getaria in Korea where you immediately look for fish upon seeing it. The gizzard shad was movingly delicious. The chewy texture was art. Wondering when I'd go to Spain again, but now I can heal here from time to time. The gizzard shad is the best. I'm not usually good with raw tomatoes, but the tomato flavor here was really nice. The suckling pig was also delicious, but seafood overall left a strong impression. No regrets choosing seafood over skeleton. The chorizo on the rice dish was tasty, haha. The Basque cheesecake had a very nice harmony with ice cream, and finishing with dessert wine was delightful! I will visit when I miss Basque cuisine. Heartily enjoyed it.

Ramen eating while working

After I ate Ike Ramen for the first time at Iyo Ramen in Seongnae-dong, I visited Senzairyoku near the company on the recommendation of an acquaintance.

It is full of Japanese sensibilities from the entrance. A bicycle parked in front completes the sensibility. There was a team waiting in front of me, and a staff member came out and brought me a hot pack. Oh my gosh, you are so kind. I look forward to eating before dinner.

There are two menus, Him Ramen and Shin Ramen. The basic is Him Ramen and Spicy is Shin Ramen. I ate Shin Ramen, but it is not as spicy as Shin Ramyun, so if you like moderately spicy food, you can eat it without worry.

1. just eat
2. Eat with garlic and cheongyang pepper
3. Eat with a little vinegar

If there are explanations like this in a restaurant, I tend to do what I tell them to do just like a textbook. The addition of vinegar was so delicious that I thought about adding a little in advance.

After wanmen, I received a small amount of rice. It was served with dubanjang sauce and spinach on rice and laver soaked in broth. The soul of soup is here too!

Christmas has come to Clap Pizza.

There are many business establishments that properly create a Christmas atmosphere as if they were trying to appease the regrets because they could not properly enjoy the end of the year due to the corona virus for two consecutive years in 2020 and 2021.

Probably because it was one of the party's birthdays, I remembered having a party with my friends when I was in elementary school. The lights hanging from the ceiling are also sensible. On a dark orange table and black plate, white spots and orange wipes all have good colors, so you can experience a good mood even before the pizza is served.

The pizza is of course very good too. When I asked the party to recommend pizza, they said that everything here is delicious and you can order anything.

finally,
Garlic Shrimp
Alfredo Chicken
Truffle Gorgonzola

A simple salad?

I've had delivery at West Door before, and the quality was excellent, so I decided to visit this time. I came here thinking of a salad restaurant where I can eat a lot, but it was a large brunch restaurant that occupies the entire three-story building. It was a place with a good atmosphere that was embarrassing to answer the question โ€œhow many people?โ€ with only one.

My choice is the Yellow Chicken Salad. Add balsamic dressing to herb chicken breast, ginkgo biloba, sweet pumpkin and paprika separately. While trying to eat a simple lunch, I came across a salad that was not at all simple. So better.

This is the place to fill your stomach with a salad. Besides salad, there are pasta, risotto, and eggs benedict, so I want to visit again for brunch with my friends.
