Flying Pan

I went to a brunch place called Flying Pan. It was actually good, like passable if it was in NY. I feel like they meant to call it Frying Pan instead of Flying Pan but can't pronounce the R.

St Augustin

St Augustin is an Asian fushion and wine restaurant on Garosugil.

I did not eat there but had wine and they are pretty generous with the pours. It is nice because whenever I order wine in Seoul it is always on the light side.

The inside of the restaurant is pretty and the waiters were nice. I wanted more cheese and they gave me a bowlful.

Sure the cheese was the cubed Laughing Cow kind (they love that cheese here, not sure why) but there is something very satisfying about cubed cheese that is basically just cream cheese.

Call me a fatty, whatever.

Recommended if you want western alcohol on Garsugil.

Koko Bruni

Koko Bruni is a chocolatier on Garosugil. I had an iced spicy chocolate drink and it was yum.

The chocolate wasn't too sweet or overwheming (catered to Korean tastes) and it had a hint of cinnamon and spice.

They also have chocolate cakes and chocolates.

I will be going there once a month now. Also, good people watching because it is on a pretty street with pretty people.

Coffeesmith

Coffeesmith in Garosugil is a drool worthy spot for people-watching in town.

As my friend put it "Coffeesmith makes my eyes go crazy."

The first floor is an open air space right to the street that allows ideal viewing of street passerbys. I would say some of the best people in Garosuil are probably not on the street but sitting right next to you in the cafe.

Top places in Seoul

Has def got to be Garosugil. Garosugil means "tree-lined street" in Korea. The area has some of the best shopping, eating, drinking, and general people watching in town.

Yummy Croquettes

NY Japanese food is not going to fly with me once I get back. These were from a Japanese restaurant on Garosugil.
