VIV
븨브 Buibeu VIV is said to stand for 'Venice Is Very Nice'; written in Latin letters or in Hangul (븨브), the name reads the same from either side.

VIV is an Italian brunch spot on the second floor of a converted house on Seoulsup 2-gil, by Seoul Forest. You eat maritozzi — brioche buns with savory fillings (whole-shrimp aioli 14,000 won, mortadella 14,800 won) — and rolled lasagna (23,000 won) at one long shared table; wine and coffee are also served. In the first posts from October 2024 it was a maritozzo specialist selling cream dessert and brunch versions; lasagna rolls appear from June 2025. We read 26 posts from October 2024 to September 2025; 18 describe eating in the shop. Three posts about department-store pop-ups were set aside as not about this shop.

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
- Indoors you share one long table with strangers. Fifteen posts describe the single shared table; one writer sat at a distance from another party, another nearly left because she had never seen a place with only a shared table. One post relays, secondhand, that only four parties are booked per seating. One post mentions a second long table by the kitchen.
- There is a rooftop at the top of the building. Nine posts went up; one mentions a view toward Seoul Forest, another reed decorations in autumn 2024. Others ate indoors because of puddles after rain or harsh sun, so it depends on the weather.
- There is also outdoor seating partway up the stairs. Five posts mention it, one calling it a parasol table, another a terrace on the 'first-and-a-half floor'.
- The kitchen is open to the room; six posts say so, one describing a lone chef cooking. You order by marking a paper sheet with a pencil stub left on the table.
2 more
- Six posts mention sunlight through the large windows, one calling it a great spot for selfies.
- Five posts said the food wasn't heavy or greasy, about the lasagna roll, the bacon-and-egg maritozzo and the cream dessert maritozzi. Three found sauces spicy (the shrimp aioli, the daily pasta).

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
4 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
| Second floor | 9 of 18 posts |
|---|---|
| Toilet inside | 2 of 18 posts |
Several posts say the shop is up a flight of stairs on the second floor. No post mentions an elevator, a step at the door, or getting in with a wheelchair or stroller — that means nobody wrote about it, not that there is none.
Two posts say the toilet is inside the shop, one calling it pleasant. Nobody said whether it is separated by gender.
No one mentioned: In a basement · 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 23 posts we gathered, 5 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
- No post describes queuing; some found themselves the only party or one of two. Because there is one table, many suggest booking, and three booked through CatchTable. One post found the food slow, two found it quick.
- Four posts walked from Seoul Forest station; the times they give vary — 9 minutes from exit 5, 7-8 minutes from exit 2, 'five minutes'.
- Opening hours changed twice: 10:00-20:00 closed Tuesdays in October 2024; 11:30-22:00 with a 16:00-18:00 break in March-April 2025; 10:00-20:00 (last order 19:00) from June 2025. On the weekly closing day, three posts say Monday and four say Monday and Tuesday. All of this is copied information, not something the writers observed.
- On price, one post found it a bit pricey and two said it was worth it. The lunch set was 48,000 won in an August 2025 post and 55,000 won in September; we can't tell if the contents were the same. A maritozzo, a lasagna roll and two drinks for two came to the high 40,000s won. Pop-up prices (e.g. 7,500 won) are not the shop's and were not counted.
- Portions divide opinion: two posts found the fist-sized brunch maritozzi small (one group ordered dessert ones to fill up), while one found the cream dessert maritozzi huge.
- Four posts went with friends, one with a spouse on a date, one with a group, and one brought a dog. None went with children.
- Several posts give the same phone number, 0507-1401-4432; several also copy that bookings are taken through Naver and CatchTable.
- We did not count five posts: one with a leftover ChatGPT reply, one naming a dish that isn't on the menu, a coffee-machine importer's promotion, a neighborhood listicle, and a generic write-up with no first-hand detail. Another post shares sentences with the ChatGPT one but adds its own observations (toilet location, terrace), so we counted it. One counted post discloses that the product was provided free.
