# Daegu Jongno brunch café: ragu tteokbokki at Otter Rabbit House - By Eun K. (https://superchart.com/en/@afternoon-cup-stops/) - Written Sep 6, 2026 - Local places › Cafés › Jung-gu, Daegu - Sponsored: This is a sponsored post; the visit was provided by the business. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@afternoon-cup-stops/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-ragu-tteokbokki/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@afternoon-cup-stops/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-ragu-tteokbokki/index.md) ## In short Otter Rabbit House Jongno Branch is a brunch café that recently opened on Jongno street in Jung-gu, Daegu. Unlike the main branch known for its bakery, the Jongno branch serves chef-cooked brunch dishes, and the ragu tteokbokki (stir-fried rice cakes) and jambon butter pasta ordered one dish per person left both plates completely empty, in a European-style room of dark wood and brick. There is no parking and only one baby chair, but Otter Rabbit House Jongno Branch is an easy stop on a Jongno date in the autumn sunshine. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Daily 11:00 – 22:00 - **Parking**: None (paid parking at Mangyeonggwan Parking Lot 2 / 34 Pojeong-dong, Jung-gu, Daegu) - **Baby chair**: 1 available - **Seating**: Mostly tables for four, plus a bar table - **Getting there**: Walking distance from Exit 4 of Jungangno Station, Line 1; right next to the back entrance of Mangyeonggwan Megabox - **What we ordered**: Ragu tteokbokki, jambon butter pasta *as written by the visitor on Sep 6, 2026* ![Otter Rabbit House Jongno Branch, a brunch café on Jongno street in Jung-gu, Daegu](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-ragu-tteokbokki/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-ragu-tteokbokki-01-1xjq7-966.webp) Otter Rabbit House Jongno Branch Parking X, baby chairs △ This summer was really hot… 👋🏻 Now the fall we've all been waiting for is here. It'll get cold again before we know it, so we have to enjoy this weather while we can. I found a spot not far from work that's great for brunch while soaking up this weather, so I went. It's walkable by bus or subway, and the exterior alone is a treat for the eyes, so I really got to enjoy this weather properly 🤓 ## What does Otter Rabbit House Jongno Branch look like inside and out? Otter Rabbit House Jongno Branch sits right on Jongno street in Jung-gu, Daegu, visible from the road. I visited on a fall day with really lovely sunlight. ![Exterior of Otter Rabbit House Jongno Branch in autumn sunlight](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-ragu-tteokbokki/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-ragu-tteokbokki-02-bww5r-1200.webp) ![Café exterior facing the street with trees](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-ragu-tteokbokki/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-ragu-tteokbokki-03-j8f33-966.webp) Right on the road, but with a tree here 🍃 and a breeze there 🌬️ — it had pretty much every element you need for a mood boost. ![View around the café entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-ragu-tteokbokki/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-ragu-tteokbokki-04-shwpu-966.webp) ![Storefront with standing sign advertising cherry bingsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-ragu-tteokbokki/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-ragu-tteokbokki-05-1vims-966.webp) ![Standing sign and menu information at Otter Rabbit House Jongno Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-ragu-tteokbokki/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-ragu-tteokbokki-06-1uxqn-966.webp) I know the main branch of Otter Rabbit House is famous for its bakery, but this newly opened Jongno branch is all about brunch 🍝 The standing sign and the cherry bingsu (shaved ice) on the menu caught my eye and my appetite before I even sat down, but since I was starving… I was the only one who felt a little sad about it, haha ![European-style café interior with dark wood and brick](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-ragu-tteokbokki/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-ragu-tteokbokki-07-1dlj3-966.webp) ### Seating and baby chairs at Otter Rabbit House Jongno Branch Inside, Otter Rabbit House Jongno Branch is mostly 4-seat tables with a bar table too, and if you look closely there's exactly one baby chair. Dark wood and brick blend together for a proper European vibe, and the overall mood is calm and composed 📝 ![Indoor seating with 4-seat tables and a bar table](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-ragu-tteokbokki/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-ragu-tteokbokki-08-1oz7l-966.webp) The chef cooking our brunch — hard at work on the dishes we ordered ![View toward the kitchen as brunch is being prepared](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-ragu-tteokbokki/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-ragu-tteokbokki-09-18xns-966.webp) I wanted a window seat, so I sat in the very back, and I spotted some eye-catching animal friends 🦒🐐 — unusual little accent pieces scattered around that gave Otter Rabbit House's atmosphere an extra lift. The reason I included this shot? It's the mood zone you can see from the seat in front of the animals — swaying trees you can watch right in the middle of Jongno. My own little personal mood zone. ![Trees and street view from the window seat](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-ragu-tteokbokki/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-ragu-tteokbokki-10-1yiq7-966.webp) A place that looks the same coming in as going out. And oddly, the sunlight pouring over the shop, which surely wasn't intentional, fits so perfectly. A place that suits fall so well. ## How do you order at Otter Rabbit House Jongno Branch? At Otter Rabbit House Jongno Branch you can browse the brunch menu with photos on the kiosk, so I took my time admiring the options here. ![Kiosk screen showing brunch menu photos](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-ragu-tteokbokki/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-ragu-tteokbokki-11-1c9oj-966.webp) ![Drinks menu board at the register](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-ragu-tteokbokki/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-ragu-tteokbokki-12-14o4w-966.webp) There's also a separate drinks menu board at the register. ![Wine menu placed on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-ragu-tteokbokki/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-ragu-tteokbokki-13-1yr9n-908.webp) Each table even has its own wine menu placed on it, so there's no need to agonize — just glance over and pick quickly (shopping-host mode). ## How do the ragu tteokbokki and jambon butter pasta taste? What we ordered at Otter Rabbit House Jongno Branch was two dishes: ragu tteokbokki and jambon butter pasta. ![Ragu tteokbokki served in European-style dishware](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-ragu-tteokbokki/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-ragu-tteokbokki-14-luv85-966.webp) I love tteokbokki 🍅 The ragu tteokbokki is a soft, savory Western-style version. The rice cakes weren't loose or chewy separately — they were warm and springy, seasoned through completely. Plus the dishware is straight-up European, so pretty!! ![Close-up of ragu tteokbokki](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-ragu-tteokbokki/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-ragu-tteokbokki-15-o2ukm-966.webp) The jambon butter pasta has Japanese-style miso and butter in it, so it's completely non-aggressive and incredibly smooth in flavor. ![Jambon butter pasta topped with jambon and arugula](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-ragu-tteokbokki/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-ragu-tteokbokki-16-vcavd-966.webp) I picked it because it felt like something you could only get here, and it turned out to be a pretty harmonious choice! The jambon (ham) plays the role of meat in the pasta. The arugula brings freshness and brightness. ![Close-up of jambon butter pasta noodles and arugula](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-ragu-tteokbokki/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-ragu-tteokbokki-17-l9vu9-966.webp) We ordered one dish each with the intention of pacing ourselves, but looking at the completely empty plates, I really felt how not-enough the food was. Good Western food is so precious 💘 ![Empty brunch plates, cleaned out](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-ragu-tteokbokki/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-ragu-tteokbokki-18-aic6t-966.webp) Finish your brunch, grab a coffee, snap a life shot in the sunlight in front of the Daegu Modern History Museum, and your Jongno date course is complete 🎶 ## Hours, parking and how to get to Jongno in Jung-gu, Daegu - Daily 11:00 – 22:00 - Walkable from Exit 4, Jungangno Station, Line 1 / right beside the back entrance of Mangyeonggwan Megabox - Mangyeonggwan 2nd Parking Lot (paid / 34 Pojeong-dong, Jung-gu, Daegu) ## Which brunch dish to try next time So… while writing this post I already found what I want to eat next time, haha. It's the Merry-Me Brownie 🍒 ![Menu photo of the Merry-Me Brownie to try next time](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-ragu-tteokbokki/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-ragu-tteokbokki-19-1ffxy-966.webp) I also want to try the cherry bingsu… but the brownie's name alone is just too cute. One cherry or many cherries — I'll leave that decision to whichever version of me shows up on the day 🫪 Otter Rabbit House Jongno Branch has an exotic vibe from the exterior alone, so it was a great spot to zone out or just sit and take it all in. On a nice day, simply sitting somewhere like this is enough to lift your mood, so I want to stop by once more before fall gets any deeper 🤙🏻 Words & photos | Ddiyong ## Where it is - Otter Rabbit House Jongno Branch (오터래빗하우스 종로점) - 57 Jongno, Jung-gu, Daegu, South Korea (1st floor) - 대구광역시 중구 종로 57 1층 - 35.8709549, 128.590931 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%98%A4%ED%84%B0%EB%9E%98%EB%B9%97%ED%95%98%EC%9A%B0%EC%8A%A4%20%EC%A2%85%EB%A1%9C%EC%A0%90/@35.8709549,128.590931,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@afternoon-cup-stops/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-ragu-tteokbokki/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
