Dento is a brunch café tucked into an alley in Bongsan-dong, Jung-gu, Daegu, an easy walk from Banwoldang Station Exit 9. If you're after a café around Banwoldang or Bongsan-dong, I think you'll be happy here.

But the alley is quite narrow, so a nearby public parking lot or street parking is probably more convenient. ![Narrow alley and parking space beside Dento](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-bongsan-dento-open-sandwich-sampler/daegu-bongsan-dento-open-sandwich-sampler-02-1ghen-966.webp) ## What's the atmosphere like at Dento in Bongsan-dong? Dento is a Bongsan-dong brunch café I'd recommend if you want a simple brunch near Banwoldang. The moment I arrived, the cute signboard sitting in a flowerpot caught my eye. ![Signboard in a flowerpot at Dento's entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-bongsan-dento-open-sandwich-sampler/daegu-bongsan-dento-open-sandwich-sampler-03-5xtfd-966.webp) ![Area around Dento's entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-bongsan-dento-open-sandwich-sampler/daegu-bongsan-dento-open-sandwich-sampler-04-17fll-966.webp) Dento has a comfortable vibe, and brunch at a sunny window seat was so good that even while writing this review I keep thinking I want to go back.. my heart goes pitter-patter. ![Sunlit window seats inside Dento](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-bongsan-dento-open-sandwich-sampler/daegu-bongsan-dento-open-sandwich-sampler-05-1n2xj-966.webp) With the thoughtfully placed props too, I thought this new Bongsan-dong café would also make a good date spot. ![Dento's interior decorated with props](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-bongsan-dento-open-sandwich-sampler/daegu-bongsan-dento-open-sandwich-sampler-06-30ixd-966.webp) ## Can't pick just one sandwich at Dento? What to order Dento is a Bongsan-dong sandwich café with a range of sandwiches and coffee drinks. If choosing just one sandwich is hard, I recommend the open sandwich, with a different topping on each piece. Please check the photo for the menu and prices. I went with the open sandwich, a latte and aioli baby potatoes 🍽️ ![Dento's sandwich and coffee menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-bongsan-dento-open-sandwich-sampler/daegu-bongsan-dento-open-sandwich-sampler-07-cq3lt-966.webp) Dento prepares the food and brings it to your table. They set out the prettily plated sandwich and coffee, and my expectations went even higher, haha. ![Open sandwich and coffee set on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-bongsan-dento-open-sandwich-sampler/daegu-bongsan-dento-open-sandwich-sampler-08-lcwmb-966.webp) Aioli baby potatoes make a good side to make the open sandwich more filling, and a rich latte suits brunch 📸 The dishes were so cute that it felt a shame to eat them. ![Open sandwich, aioli baby potatoes and latte spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-bongsan-dento-open-sandwich-sampler/daegu-bongsan-dento-open-sandwich-sampler-09-1e83d-966.webp) ### How do Dento's aioli baby potatoes taste? Dento's aioli baby potatoes pair the fluffy texture of boiled potato with a sweet, tangy aioli sauce. ![Dento's baby potatoes topped with aioli sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-bongsan-dento-open-sandwich-sampler/daegu-bongsan-dento-open-sandwich-sampler-10-bevbv-966.webp) The potatoes were a little smaller than a fist. As a side dish the price isn't a burden, the sauce and potato combination was great, and eaten with the sandwich it was really filling. ![Aioli baby potato side, smaller than a fist](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-bongsan-dento-open-sandwich-sampler/daegu-bongsan-dento-open-sandwich-sampler-11-8xxum-966.webp) If you're wondering which side to get, I recommend the aioli baby potatoes 🥔 ![Full Dento brunch spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-bongsan-dento-open-sandwich-sampler/daegu-bongsan-dento-open-sandwich-sampler-12-1hwcr-1200.webp) ## Dento's 5-flavor bite-size open sandwich and the order to eat it The bite-size open sandwich, Dento's signature and flagship dish, comes in five flavors. Here's a look at all five. - Pan con tomate (tomato bread) - Avocado salmon - Romesco roasted vegetables - Shrimp rémoulade - Truffle ricotta ![Plating of the five-flavor bite-size open sandwich](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-bongsan-dento-open-sandwich-sampler/daegu-bongsan-dento-open-sandwich-sampler-13-1qh3i-966.webp) ![Open sandwiches from pan con tomate to truffle ricotta](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-bongsan-dento-open-sandwich-sampler/daegu-bongsan-dento-open-sandwich-sampler-14-3oih0-966.webp) They told me to eat Dento's open sandwich in the order it's plated, from the pan con tomate through to the truffle ricotta. ![Dento's bite-size open sandwiches laid out in order](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-bongsan-dento-open-sandwich-sampler/daegu-bongsan-dento-open-sandwich-sampler-15-1tpsp-966.webp) It's an open sandwich you can eat easily like finger food, but the toppings were remarkably varied, and picking up the different pieces one by one made a brunch spread that didn't leave me wanting. ![Open sandwiches picked up like finger food](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-bongsan-dento-open-sandwich-sampler/daegu-bongsan-dento-open-sandwich-sampler-16-h5wlb-966.webp) The latte was generously made too. A Bongsan-dong café I recommend for its coffee. ![Generously filled Dento latte](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-bongsan-dento-open-sandwich-sampler/daegu-bongsan-dento-open-sandwich-sampler-17-1c5ts-966.webp) ## Eating the menu like a sample: how satisfying is the bite-size open sandwich? Dento is a Banwoldang sandwich favorite, so I agonized over which sandwich to order. The bite-size open sandwich let me taste every item like a sample, so I was really satisfied. It even made me want to come back and order the sandwiches one by one next time. ![Dento's bite-size open sandwich with toppings](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-bongsan-dento-open-sandwich-sampler/daegu-bongsan-dento-open-sandwich-sampler-18-1yx08-966.webp) ![Dento's open sandwiches on the brunch table](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-bongsan-dento-open-sandwich-sampler/daegu-bongsan-dento-open-sandwich-sampler-19-8sd5d-966.webp) Each open sandwich fills a mouthful, with harmonious toppings, so if you're looking for a brunch spot in Banwoldang and Bongsan-dong, I recommend visiting Dento. If you're torn about brunch, do try Dento's atmosphere and distinctive sandwiches. ## Where it is - Dento (덴토) - 1F, 42-5 Bongsanmunhwa 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/@barstool-interval/daegu-bongsan-dento-open-sandwich-sampler/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
