Romanee Seongsu

로마네 성수 Romane Seongsu A small wine bistro serving pasta and confit-cooked steak

Korean · Seongdong-gu, Seongsu-dong 1-ga

Updated · Published

A few steps into the alley from exit 7 at Ttukseom station there is a purple sign, and half a flight up, the door. The name comes from Romanee-Conti in Burgundy and the wine really is the point — six of the seven writers talk about it. Even so the pasta sits in the low teens of thousands of won and a glass of house wine is five thousand. Two writers note that the owner runs the kitchen, the floor and the wine list by himself.

What sets it apart

  1. Six writers write about the wine. One notes that the list has a menu of its own, sorted by country, region, grape and price, with several available by the glass. Three say you need know nothing about wine before you come: the owner asks what you like and picks for you. One left with a promise of a good shiraz next time and a plan to return within the month. Corkage comes up repeatedly — buy a bottle and your own comes free, says one; order a main per person and it is free, says another; a third found a free-corkage coupon attached to booking through Naver.
  2. All five writers who mention money call it cheap. One sums it up as the merit of eating Italian for under fifteen thousand won; another, looking at the cheese platter price, simply writes that it is a steal. One adds that the wine is markedly cheaper here than elsewhere.
  3. Three writers write about the owner: he cooks, and he is the one who knows the wine, and he will choose for a beginner who asks. That is where the poured first glass, the bottle kept cold, and the offer to host a small party if you ask ahead all come from. Two others note he works the room alone — and one suspects that is why her pickles never arrived.
  4. There are seats outside. One writer imagines how good a glass on the terrace would be on a fine day; another describes sitting there at lunchtime with the windows open and the light coming in.
  5. There are steps at the door: one writer describes climbing about half a flight to reach the entrance. The shop is registered as ground floor, but you do not walk in straight from the street.
  6. The toilet is inside, and the one writer who mentions it says it is unisex and well kept. Worth knowing if separate facilities matter to you.
  7. One writer explains that each table has a QR code and you order through it — not from a terminal, but on your own phone.
  8. One writer found it merely fine. Another calls the same pasta the best anywhere, so the honest summary is that opinions on this kitchen diverge.

Parking

2 posts say you cannot park. None say you can.

Posts saying you cannot2 of 7 posts

Do not drive. Two writers say there is nowhere to park, and one left the car for a moment on a Saturday, reasoning it was the weekend, and was ticketed at half past nine at night. Another passes on that the nearby district sports centre car park is the cheapest, and advises walking, given the alley.

No writer says whether a wheelchair or pushchair can get in. The half flight of steps at the door, from one post, is all we know.

No one mentioned: Second floor · In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · 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.

What we do not know

  • We read only seven posts. The place opened in the summer of 2025, so there is not much yet. Our search confirmed twenty, but thirteen turned out to be about something else: seven about Burgundy wine, since Romanee is a wine name; three about an umbrella, a doormat and a stationery box that share the name; one whose blogger writes under it; and two that merely copied the shop's own listing.
  • Only one post records the opening hours, so we could not publish them. That writer has Monday evenings only, from 5:30pm, and eleven in the morning to eleven at night from Tuesday to Sunday, with a break from 2:30 to 5:30. One source is not enough for this page, so check with the shop before you go.
  • Nobody writes about waiting. One writer counted only five tables — three for two, two for four — so an evening visit with a group is worth arranging ahead. One writer says the place takes bookings.
  • The registration says ground floor, and nobody writes about an upstairs or a basement. Only one writer mentions that the entrance sits half a level up.
  • Two writers confirm the restaurant has no car park of its own, but nobody says how much space the nearby public car parks have.
