  (new Guanghwamun location) Overpriced, but high quality and tasty food. I know food of this style and quality is rare in Seoul, and so they can charge a premium, but 25,000 won for 3 spinach and cheese ravioli, or 20,000 for carbonara, 20 for a fairly small pizza margherita is pretty crazy. (It's literally as or more expensive than, say, Babbo in New York City). Five years ago I think they were the only game in town, and for westerners sometimes price doesn't matter once you finally find a good place that reminds you of back home but there is a lot more good pizza and pasta available in Seoul nowadays. The restaurant is beautiful. They are using excellent meats and cheese. But it's still 50% more expensive than it needs to be for such a casual restaurant. The pizza was delicious. The "original" (no cream) carbonara tasted good but was a bit dry and sticky, like they needed to add a ladle of water to it Once it cooled a little it was just a solid brick of pasta and cheese stuck together. I would love to be regular here, but for anyone who's a decent cook it's hard to eat here without feeling like the pasta you make at home might be better.

  Nice ambience and a great place to chill out in when exploring the Bukchon area. Good quality confections and coffee but certainly not cheap.

  Excellent bakery and light fare downstairs, and in the evening the restaurant is a classy, relaxed mid range dining destination. The service is really friendly and conscientious. My girlfriend has some serious food allergies. The waitstaff not only did a thorough job of checking the ingredients of everything she ate, they actually remembered her when we went back a week later, and warned her that something she was ordering had an ingredient she shouldn't eat! This place also does an amazing job accommodating large groups. The second floor dining area is spacious, but has a cozy vibe. Get a table by the window for a nice view of people strolling by on the street below.

  The atmosphere of this bakery cafe is truly amazing..bricks and wood make a beautiful interior ..the smell of the coffee captivates your senses and the taste of there is a big variety of pastries and bread to indulge in..I highly recommend it to those who want to explore the traditional bakchon village around as a good start of the day
