IPANEMA GRILL
이빠네마그릴 홍대점 Ippanema Geuril Hongdae-jeom Named after Ipanema, a beach district of Rio de Janeiro — fitting for a Brazilian churrasco grill.
Compiled from 8 blog posts read in fullSources →
A Brazilian churrasco house in a basement on Hongik-ro 7, close to Hongik University's main gate. Staff walk the room with skewers — chicken thigh, sausage, sirloin, garlic top sirloin, skirt, ribeye — and carve at your table; salad, vinaigrette and fried rice come as standard, and the meal ends with cinnamon-grilled pineapple and Iguaçu coffee. Unlimited churrasco at dinner was 43,900 won in November 2024 and 44,900 won in August 2025; 2026 posts copy 45,900 won. We read 29 posts from November 2024 to September 2026 and counted 8 as actual meals; the other 21 were introductions, scraped reviews or templated promotional copy.

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.
These hours are counted from the posts we read. Shops change them without notice — check Naver Place before you go.

What sets it apart
- There is no grill on the table. Three posts describe meat roasted on skewers in the kitchen and carved at the table; one notes the steak set is plated in the kitchen instead. An August 2025 post saw the skewers turning in the open kitchen.
- Two posts mention a 90-minute limit. One found it in small print on the menu; the other noticed that tables staying longer were not asked to leave.
- Five posts call the room large, with many tables; one mentions curtained semi-private booths. Two diners booked ahead (one through Naver), and one saw many reserved groups.
- Four posts note wine on the list and three ordered some — a bottle of Frontera Cabernet Sauvignon was 26,000 won in November 2024. One post had Stella at 8,000 won a glass.

Getting inside
| In a basement | 6 of 8 posts |
|---|---|
| Toilet inside | 1 of 8 posts |
| Separate restrooms | 1 of 8 posts |
You go downstairs. Six of the eight posts we counted say so themselves. One December 2024 post adds that the toilet is up another flight of stairs at the back of the room.
No one mentions a step at the door, wheelchair or stroller access, or a lift — that means we don't know, not that there is none. The restaurant is underground, and one post puts the toilet up another flight of stairs.
Only one post (December 2024) describes the toilet from experience: inside, separate for men and women. A November 2024 info block says it isn't separated; we didn't count the block.
No one mentioned: Second floor · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Accessible toilet. 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 29 posts we gathered, 21 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 split on gaminess, one to one: an August 2025 post found a smell on the ribeye and skirt, a December 2024 post noticed none. The same August post found the later cuts increasingly salty.
- No post says they waited. Two found it busy; two arrived early in the evening to a near-empty room. We don't know whether there is a queue.
- Only three posts say who they came with, and each is different: family, a friend, a spouse on a date. That isn't enough to say who the place suits.
- Opening hours appear only in copied info blocks in five posts: all say 11:30–22:00 with a 14:30–17:00 weekday break, but two say weekends open at 12:00 while one implies 11:30 with no break. One gives last order at 20:50; none names a closing day. One post says the lunch menu isn't offered at weekends.
- Prices have gone up every year: unlimited churrasco at dinner and weekends went from 43,900 won (Nov 2024) to 44,900 (Aug 2025) to 45,900 as copied in 2026 posts; lunch from 38,900 to 41,900; the steak-inclusive special from 47,900 to 51,900. The 2026 figures come from introductions and scraped posts, not meals. A 41,900 won figure in a December 2024 post can't be dated. For two people, two unlimited courses and two guaranás came to 99,800 won in August 2025.
- Two posts give the phone number as 02-323-4440, one as 0507-1447-4440. One diner booked through Naver Reservation.
- Eighteen posts from August–September 2026 share near-identical wording and order, give no prices, and describe things the real diners contradict (a salad bar or buffet corner). We treated them as promotional copy and counted only the eight meal posts from November 2024 to August 2026.
