A Gangnam gourmet-tour essay that pleases both the eyes and the palate. Korea even has a word for a 'food-lover's journey,' and Gangnam is where you experience it.

Among the many pleasures that travel brings, the ‘pleasure of eating’ cannot be left out. Food is such an important element of travel that there is even a term called ‘food travel’ in Korea. In particular, meals at travel destinations where you can only enjoy them within a limited time will be a very valuable time for each meal.
And to match that precious meal, we would like to introduce a restaurant that not only provides the pleasure of eating, but also the pleasure of looking.

is a dessert cafe launched by Gentle Monster, a famous eyewear brand. As it is a cafe launched by a sensuous brand, when you enter the cafe, you can get a unique and sophisticated feeling that you would not get in a traditional cafe. loading="lazy" />NuDake House Dosan is especially famous for its desserts with special visuals. Desserts that are unconventional and fresh enough to be considered works of art if no one says so, freely crossing the boundaries between art and gastronomy, works and desserts, overwhelming not only the taste buds but also the visual sense.
Among them, the most famous signature dessert is the ‘Peak Cake’, which has crispy ink pastry wrapped around the edges and soft matcha cream in the center. The characteristic feature is that you eat it with matcha cream that pours out when you pick up the pastry. The matcha flavor is not as strong as expected and goes well with the salty pastry, so it is a menu item that has been recognized by many people for both its appearance and taste. There are also ‘mini croissants’ smaller than your finger and animal-shaped desserts, so you can enjoy them with your eyes.

The flagship store of Gentle Monster, which launched this cafe, is located on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the same building, so it is recommended to leisurely look around after enjoying delicious desserts.

On days when the weather is bad, indoor restaurants or cafes like Nudake House Dosan can be good options. However, on nice days, everyone thinks about going outside or on a terrace, but in the city, there are not many terrace restaurants that can give off the right vibe. However, not far from Nudake House Dosan, there is a , which has both outdoor and indoor areas, terraces and rooms. loading="lazy" />The terrace room located on the second floor provides much more comfortable conditions than the first floor where cars pass by. And as mentioned earlier, the terrace room has both indoor and outdoor terrace seating, but reservations for terrace seating are required. The terrace seats, which many people make reservations for, create a beautiful atmosphere to match. The bushes surrounding the terrace, the stylishly raised shade canopy, and the European-style interior style throughout the restaurant make you feel like you are in an open-air cafe in Paris when you sit on the terrace seats in the terrace room.
Not only the interior, but also the restaurant's menu has a taste of France. The ‘Houlet Parisienne’ serves soft sous vide chicken breast steak with various vegetable garnishes, lobster claw meat, dried tomatoes, and bisque fettuccine. We offer menus with a strong French taste, such as crab bisque tomatoes that go well with noodles. In addition, various drinks such as botanical cocktails made with fresh basil and lime are available, so you can fully enjoy the feeling of Paris.
Here's a tip to fully enjoy the Terrace Room. If you visit during the day, it has the feel of a French open-air cafe. We recommend having a leisurely brunch on the terrace, and if you visit in the evening, we recommend having a cocktail indoors, which is a combination of a dining hall and a classic bar. Although it is the same restaurant, it can be said that the charm of this terrace room is that it gives a completely different feeling depending on time and space. loading="lazy" />There is a saying, ‘Mochi that looks good is good to eat.’

We have introduced places where you can see, enjoy, and enjoy with your eyes beyond the simple pleasure of eating, so if you want to enjoy both your eyes and your mouth at the same time, we recommend you visit. Terrace Room During the day, have brunch on a terrace that resembles an open-air cafe in Paris, France, and in the evening, have a cocktail indoors, which is a combination of a dining hall and a classic bar.
