Compiled from 17 blog posts read in fullSources →
A Western-style restaurant in a two-floor yangok building deep in Ikseon-dong's hanok lanes, a walk from Jongno 3-ga Station. It serves pasta, risotto, gnocchi and steaks; the most-ordered dishes are the squid-ink risotto with octopus, 'pulpo' (26,000 won, eleven posts), and the pork jowl steak (34,000 won, nine posts). Pastas run 19,000–28,000 won. You order on your phone by tapping a table tag or scanning a QR code. We read 24 posts dated 6 June to 6 October 2026; 17 describe an actual meal here. The wine bar next door, Nuit, serves this kitchen's food, but we did not count its three posts as posts about this place.

Counted from what bloggers wrote in their posts; we did not confirm it with the restaurant. Where the values differ, it may be a change over time rather than a disagreement, so we show when each one was written.
What sets it apart
- There's a second-floor terrace — eleven posts mention it — but it's hard to get. A September walk-in was told it was for reservations only; an August visitor found it full; a July post said the terrace doors stay shut in the humid summer.
- This is a book-ahead place: twelve posts reserved via Naver or Catchtable, four of them finding a name card on the table. Of the two walk-ins, one was seated straight away in September; the other arrived on a weekday before 6 pm, found the second floor full, was put downstairs, and saw later walk-ins sent to the wine bar next door. One post arrived 15 minutes early for a booking and wasn't let in.
- You order on your phone: six posts tapped a table tag or scanned a QR code.
- Six posts mention a receipt-review event; the reward is vanilla ice cream with olive oil and pepper.

- Six posts walked from Jongno 3-ga Station — about five minutes from Exit 6 via the lane on the right, or roughly ten from Exit 5.

There's no parking of its own. Only one post actually drove: the private lot next door was cramped and expensive, so they suggest a public lot and a short walk. Four other posts just copied 'no parking' from the listing.

Where it is
We could not find this shop’s own listing on Naver Map, so the link searches for its Korean name around this spot instead.
From the station
6 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
| Second floor | 15 of 17 posts |
|---|---|
| In a basement | yes 0 · no 7 (of 17 posts read) |
| Toilet inside | 1 of 17 posts |
Most meals happen upstairs: fifteen posts sat on or described the second floor. One wrote that every reservation was seated upstairs; another that the second floor is much bigger than the first. Two posts described a long group table plus two-seat tables, and many mentioned looking down over the hanok rooftops.
Two floors, no basement. Seven posts described the ground floor — the kitchen plus a couple of tables in an antique-styled room. Both posts that ate downstairs said they had it to themselves and it was quiet.
We don't know about a step at the entrance, wheelchair or stroller access, or a lift — no post mentions them. The dining room upstairs is reached by stairs, which one post called a bit steep.
Only one post mentions the toilet, saying it's conveniently inside. We don't know whether it's split by gender or which floor it's on.
No one mentioned: Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

Posts that followed a TV spot
Of the 21 posts we gathered, 4 went up on a single day right after a TV spot and show no sign of a visit. They retell the broadcast, so we left them out of the counts.
We do not discard them. That a TV spot produced a burst of posts is itself something worth knowing about a place, and a star rating will not show it.

What we do not know
- Opinions on price split: three posts called it expensive for the portion, two said it wasn't. Two posts said portions are small. Two people sharing a pasta and a steak should expect around 55,000 won.
- On richness: four posts said the sauces kept dishes from feeling heavy; one found the spicy cream pasta still too rich and recommended the risotto instead.
- Nine posts list opening hours, all agreeing on 11:30–22:00 with a 15:00–17:00 break; seven give last orders at 21:00. The closing day differs: four say Monday, one says Sunday, two say open daily. One post ate here on Sunday 13 September, so a Sunday closure looks wrong. Most of these hours were copied from Naver Place, so check before going.
- No post describes queueing; one said it isn't a place with a waiting line. That's not proof there's never a wait — most writers had booked, so none of them faced a queue.
- The phone number 0507-1307-7246 appears in only one post, copied from Naver Place. Most writers booked through Naver or Catchtable; one noted a listed 10,000-won-per-person deposit that wasn't actually charged.
- Nuit, the wine bar next door, is this restaurant's second brand and serves the same food until midnight. We didn't count its three posts or the one post comparing the two. Two neighbourhood ranking lists and one multi-place diary weren't used as evidence either.
