# Spicy jokbal rosé risotto and yuja bingsu at Pangyo café Meolmeol - By Gaeon (https://superchart.com/en/@afternoon-cup-glass/) - Written Sep 6, 2026 - Local places › Cafés › Seongnam, Gyeonggi - Sponsored: This post was written after visiting and receiving a complimentary meal from the business. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@afternoon-cup-glass/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@afternoon-cup-glass/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul/index.md) ## In short Meolmeol Pangyo is an Italian brunch café on the Baekhyeon-dong café street in Pangyo, Seongnam. Over dinner with a friend I ordered white truffle pasta, spicy jokbal (braised pork trotter) rosé risotto, truffle baby potato fries and a raspberry endive salad, and the mix of spicy jokbal with creamy rosé risotto was the most memorable plate. A yuja (citron) bingsu from the Naver review event covered dessert too, so Meolmeol Pangyo handled the whole meal from savoury to sweet. ## Good to know - **Location**: 1st floor, 6 Pangyoyeok-ro 2beon-gil, Bundang-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do (Baekhyeon-dong café street) - **Walking distance**: 10 minutes from Sunae Station; 13–15 minutes from Pangyo or Seohyeon Station; within 15 minutes of Hyundai Department Store Pangyo - **Parking**: 1 hour free parking registered at the Baekhyeon-dong public parking lot - **What we ordered**: White truffle pasta, spicy jokbal rosé risotto, truffle baby potato fries, raspberry endive salad, orange juice, lemon cream tea - **Freebie**: Yuja bingsu for joining the Naver review event - **Seating**: Indoor group tables and an outdoor terrace *as written by the visitor on Sep 6, 2026* ![Main image of Meolmeol Pangyo, a brunch spot in Baekhyeon-dong, Pangyo](https://img.superchart.com/images/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul-01-zzhch-1200.webp) A Pangyo brunch spot that nails both taste and vibe: Meolmeol Pangyo The weather was so nice today that I ended up taking a little trip out to Pangyo~ I usually go there pretty often, so I thought I knew the area fairly well. But this time I discovered there's a whole Baekhyeon-dong café street! Haha, the moment I stepped into the alley, I found cute, pretty shops sitting quietly together, and I kept wondering why I never knew about this place before, haha. Today's dinner spot in Baekhyeon-dong that's been gaining word-of-mouth lately is Meolmeol Pangyo. ## Where is Meolmeol Pangyo and where do you park? Meolmeol Pangyo sits on the 1st floor at 6 Pangyoyeok-ro 2beon-gil, Bundang-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, tucked into the Baekhyeon-dong café street. It's a walkable distance for anyone coming from Pangyo Station or the department store side, so it makes a good meeting spot :) You could also stroll here slowly while browsing the café street 🌿 The location was pretty easy to find, and being inside the Baekhyeon-dong café street made for a nice, slow walk 🌷 It's about 10 minutes on foot from Suneung Station, and 13–15 minutes from Pangyo or Seohyeon Station. From Pangyo Hyundai Department Store it's within 15 minutes at a leisurely pace, which makes it a perfect route after shopping. (If you're driving, you can register for 1 hour free parking at the Baekhyeon-dong public parking lot — worth keeping in mind.) ## Inside Meolmeol Pangyo and the terrace seats ![Meolmeol Pangyo's exterior with a wood-toned Scandinavian feel](https://img.superchart.com/images/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul-02-g43ue-900.webp) The moment I arrived and saw the exterior of Meolmeol Pangyo, I just went "wow, this is so pretty!" haha. The cozy Scandinavian feel with the wood-toned atmosphere really won me over! ![Outdoor terrace seating at Meolmeol Pangyo](https://img.superchart.com/images/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul-03-m8hr6-900.webp) There's a terrace too, so having brunch out here during the day must feel amazing! ![Softly lit indoor space at Meolmeol Pangyo](https://img.superchart.com/images/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul-04-1fang-900.webp) ![Interior tables with generous seating space at Meolmeol Pangyo](https://img.superchart.com/images/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul-05-1rryp-900.webp) Once I stepped inside, the lighting was soft and the whole space felt, how should I put it, warmly welcoming. The seats were spaced generously and there was group seating too, which looked great for gatherings~ Each table had its own small, pretty candle lit, and the moment I sat down my mood settled into something calmer, haha. ![Fresh oranges and lemons displayed in the shop](https://img.superchart.com/images/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul-06-1ytb6-900.webp) Fresh oranges and lemons everywhere~ ![A glass of water served at Meolmeol Pangyo](https://img.superchart.com/images/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul-07-1jufj-900.webp) Even a single glass of water showed real care~ ![View of the outdoor terrace seating at Meolmeol Pangyo](https://img.superchart.com/images/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul-08-1lsou-900.webp) There was a separate outdoor terrace area set up too. I thought sitting out there for a leisurely Bundang brunch would be lovely now that the weather's getting a bit cooler, but since today was a little warm, we took a table inside instead. ## What's on the menu at Meolmeol Pangyo ![Menu board listing Italian dishes at Meolmeol Pangyo](https://img.superchart.com/images/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul-09-1hcqf-604.webp) Meolmeol Pangyo's menu is built on an Italian base with a light touch of Korean ingredients and style layered on top. Once we sat down and opened the menu, there were far more dish options than I expected, haha. Reading through it was fun in itself 😮 Starting with the signature lasagna, apparently simmered for over 2 hours, there were plenty of fresh combinations like roasted baby napa cabbage bacon salad and spicy lemon anchovy pasta. On the dessert side, things like ube matcha latte, butter rice cake, and grandpa tiramisu caught my eye too. ![Detail page of the Meolmeol Pangyo menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul-10-wbf6h-900.webp) I heard the chefs here put deep thought into everything — from ingredient selection to house-made sauces to cooking methods, haha. It's a place that really cares about ingredient freshness and plating, so I found myself looking forward to the food even before it arrived. ![Table set after placing an order at Meolmeol Pangyo](https://img.superchart.com/images/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul-11-1bv38-900.webp) For drinks we picked orange juice and lemon cream tea~ For food we ordered four dishes: white truffle pasta, spicy jokbal rosé risotto, truffle baby potato fries, and raspberry endive salad 🤤💗 ### Orange juice and lemon cream tea ![Fresh-squeezed orange juice and lemon cream tea](https://img.superchart.com/images/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul-12-16z4d-900.webp) The orange juice was freshly squeezed and refreshing without being too sweet (totally my thing!), leaving my mouth feeling clean~ The lemon cream tea had a rich layer of cream sitting on top of tangy lemon tea, and it was cool with a subtle nutty note that oddly kept pulling me back for more. ![Table scene while waiting over drinks](https://img.superchart.com/images/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul-13-yobgt-m-900.webp) While sipping our drinks and catching up on recent news, the main dishes finally started arriving one by one. ### White truffle pasta ![A plate of white truffle pasta at Meolmeol Pangyo](https://img.superchart.com/images/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul-14-557ku-900.webp) We started with the white truffle pasta! The moment the plate landed on the table, a soft, rich truffle aroma spread out and my appetite spiked right away 🤤 The noodles were cooked just right with a nice chewiness, and the cream sauce clung tightly to the pasta, so every bite carried a deep flavor. ![Close-up of white truffle pasta noodles coated in cream sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul-15-1wt4c-900.webp) ![A forkful of truffle cream pasta lifted up](https://img.superchart.com/images/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul-16-tjgse-900.webp) Even though it's a cream pasta, it wasn't greasy or tiring at all — clean and nutty in flavor, so we happily cleaned up every last bite. ### The standout dish: spicy jokbal rosé risotto ![Spicy jokbal rosé risotto at Meolmeol Pangyo](https://img.superchart.com/images/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul-17-x2xqm-900.webp) This was the most unusual dish of the night: spicy jokbal rosé risotto! Jokbal (braised pork trotter) combined with rosé risotto? I had to try it, haha. ![A spoonful of rosé risotto topped with spicy jokbal meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul-18-1wdox-900.webp) The chewy jokbal meat, seasoned spicy, mingled with the savory, soft rosé risotto grains, and I found myself thinking — can Korean and Italian food really work this well together? The gentle spiciness lingered as an aftertaste, cutting right through the richness of the cream and fried dishes. If you visit Meolmeol, I'd really recommend trying this spicy jokbal rosé risotto (highly recommended!) ### Truffle baby potato fries ![Truffle baby potato fries at Meolmeol Pangyo](https://img.superchart.com/images/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul-19-1nbs4-900.webp) The moment the truffle baby potato fries arrived, a nutty aroma filled the whole table, haha. ![Close-up of baby potato fries topped with truffle cream sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul-20-1h4x1-900.webp) Apparently the baby potatoes are crushed before frying, which is probably why they're crispy outside and fluffy, soft inside. On top of that sits Meolmeol's own house-made truffle cream sauce, with a subtle truffle scent that paired perfectly with the fries, haha. My fork kept going back for more and I couldn't stop, lol. ### Raspberry endive salad The raspberry endive salad comes with a layer of reddish raspberry Greek yogurt on the bottom, topped neatly with crisp endive, sweet peach, and salty jamón. ![Raspberry Greek yogurt and endive salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul-21-1r5xp-966.webp) ![A piece of endive topped with peach and jamón](https://img.superchart.com/images/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul-22-xi4h9-900.webp) I tried piling yogurt, jamón, and peach onto a piece of endive and eating them together, and the combination was so well put-together! The endive's bitterness mixed with the peach's sweetness and the jamón's savoriness really woke up my appetite. It had a fresh yet upscale flavor that put me in a good mood from the very first bite, haha. ![Table set with all four dishes at Meolmeol Pangyo](https://img.superchart.com/images/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul-23-1l91j-900.webp) Every single dish was creative yet perfectly balanced, so I lost count of how many times my friend and I said we were glad we came 😄 This is truly a place that competes on flavor — every sense was happy the whole time. ## Free yuja bingsu from the Naver review event ![Yuja bingsu received through the review event](https://img.superchart.com/images/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul-24-1dxn8-900.webp) When I heard Meolmeol Pangyo gives out yuja bingsu (shaved ice) for participating in a Naver review event, I signed up on a whim and got a bowl too!! The tangy, cool yuja ice melted smoothly in my mouth, and honestly it was cleaner and tastier than what a lot of dedicated bingsu shops serve 😮 We'd originally planned to head straight to a nearby bingsu café after the meal for dessert, but this one bowl of yuja bingsu completely satisfied that craving, so we just kept chatting here instead, haha. This place is a bingsu gem too!! The warm atmosphere the space gave off was lovely, and thanks to the thoughtful, delicious food, my heart felt warm the whole time I was there 💗 If you're looking for a Pangyo brunch spot or trying to decide on a nice meal in the Baekhyeon-dong area, I highly recommend Meolmeol Pangyo!! I'm planning to go back soon on a sunny, cooler day and sit on the terrace to try another brunch dish. ## Where it is - Meolmeol Pangyo (멀멀 판교) - 6 Pangyoyeok-ro 2beon-gil, Bundang-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, 1st floor - 경기도 성남시 분당구 판교역로2번길 6 1층 - 37.3839476, 127.1126943 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A9%80%EB%A9%80%20%ED%8C%90%EA%B5%90/@37.3839476,127.1126943,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@afternoon-cup-glass/pangyo-brunch-buljok-rose-risotto-mulmul/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
