The signature is the five bite-size open sandwiches, and beyond that there are sandwiches paired with soup or salad set menus!! ![Dento's menu board listing the bite-size open sandwiches](https://img.superchart.com/images/dento-daegu-bongsandong-brunch-romesco/dento-daegu-bongsandong-brunch-romesco-10-12n5v-966.webp) There's also a wide range of drinks — coffee, blended teas, ades, juices, and even alcohol like beer and wine! ## What I ordered: five bite-size open sandwiches and 100% grapefruit juice - Five bite-size open sandwiches - 100% grapefruit juice ![Bite-size open sandwiches served together with grapefruit juice](https://img.superchart.com/images/dento-daegu-bongsandong-brunch-romesco/dento-daegu-bongsandong-brunch-romesco-11-1j6s7-966.webp) ![A plate of five bite-size open sandwiches on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/dento-daegu-bongsandong-brunch-romesco/dento-daegu-bongsandong-brunch-romesco-12-19cm7-966.webp) Everything I ordered came out at once! For the 100% grapefruit juice, there's a kitchen-like space where you can actually watch them squeeze the grapefruit right there, and the bite-size sandwiches came as five different flavors, like finger food! ![A glass of Dento's freshly squeezed 100% grapefruit juice](https://img.superchart.com/images/dento-daegu-bongsandong-brunch-romesco/dento-daegu-bongsandong-brunch-romesco-13-1apuy-966.webp) First, the 100% grapefruit juice is freshly squeezed and even has grapefruit pulp added in, so it's totally different from the artificial high-fructose grapefruit ade we usually drink — highly recommend trying it! ![Five bite-size sandwiches arranged in order from left to right](https://img.superchart.com/images/dento-daegu-bongsandong-brunch-romesco/dento-daegu-bongsandong-brunch-romesco-14-1d0kn-966.webp) ### The order Dento suggests eating them in For the bite-size sandwiches, they told us to eat them in this order from left to right: pan con tomate, avocado salmon, romesco roasted vegetables, shrimp rémoulade, and truffle ricotta! ![Spanish-style pan con tomate bite-size open sandwich](https://img.superchart.com/images/dento-daegu-bongsandong-brunch-romesco/dento-daegu-bongsandong-brunch-romesco-15-1ayqm-966.webp) ### Pan con tomate Pan con tomate — made with finely chopped tomato — is a Spanish-style brunch dish! It's eaten on top of baguette or campagne bread, and it tastes great, like a morning tapas kind of thing~ ![Bite-size sandwich topped with avocado and smoked salmon](https://img.superchart.com/images/dento-daegu-bongsandong-brunch-romesco/dento-daegu-bongsandong-brunch-romesco-16-1c4z4-966.webp) ### Salmon and avocado Salmon avocado uses ingredients we're all pretty familiar with! Avocado on bread topped with smoked salmon — the flavor doesn't stray far from what you'd expect, but it's delicious!! ![Sandwich with romesco sauce and roasted broccoli and mushroom](https://img.superchart.com/images/dento-daegu-bongsandong-brunch-romesco/dento-daegu-bongsandong-brunch-romesco-17-19zjh-966.webp) ### Romesco roasted vegetables The romesco roasted vegetables were one of the flavors that impressed me the most! Romesco is also a Spanish sauce, and it's especially flavorful — it comes topped with roasted broccoli and mushroom, and this was the most impressive and delicious bite for me! ![Bite-size sandwich topped with rémoulade sauce and shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/dento-daegu-bongsandong-brunch-romesco/dento-daegu-bongsandong-brunch-romesco-18-jhb0f-966.webp) ### Shrimp rémoulade Shrimp rémoulade. Rémoulade sauce originated in French cuisine — it's a mayonnaise-based sauce combined with pickles and herbs, topped here with plump shrimp!! Seeing how they apply these famous European sauces to each ingredient one by one made me feel like the level of brunch-making here is really high! ![Bite-size sandwich topped with ricotta cheese and truffle](https://img.superchart.com/images/dento-daegu-bongsandong-brunch-romesco/dento-daegu-bongsandong-brunch-romesco-19-105n1-966.webp) ### Truffle ricotta Last up is the truffle ricotta! This was my second favorite of the bunch — ricotta cheese with truffle mixed in, so both the flavor and aroma were great for this sandwich~ It's an ingredient combination that basically can't taste bad~ ## Is Dento worth a visit? Final verdict Dento, a must-visit brunch spot and new café near Banwoldang in Daegu, is a finger-food brunch place where you can enjoy five different flavors! By serving brunch paired with a variety of famous European sauces, they offer dishes you don't often get to eat elsewhere, so I'd recommend visiting and trying it — and with the interior and atmosphere both being great, it's also a good spot for a date~~ ## Where it is - Dento (덴토) - 42-5 1F Bongsan-munhwa 2-gil, Jung-gu, Daegu, South Korea - 대구광역시 중구 봉산문화2길 42-5 1층 - 35.8638986, 128.5973758 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%8D%B4%ED%86%A0/@35.8638986,128.5973758,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@banchon-late-window/dento-daegu-bongsandong-brunch-romesco/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
