Yangsan brunch restaurant near the university hospital: Mount Sunday

While looking for a good brunch spot near Yangsan University Hospital, I visited Mount Sunday on a friend’s recommendation.

Beyond brunch, it has a varied selection of proper meal dishes such as pasta, gnocchi, and sandwiches, so it is also a nice place to visit with a group.

A brunch spot with a varied menu

Mount Sunday is a casual-dining-style brunch spot, and it is also nice to use like a café over coffee as well as a meal.

They say they prepare every ingredient and sauce themselves, and looking over the menu, I got the impression that this is a place that puts quite a lot of care into it.

There are plenty of choices, from steak and gnocchi to French toast, sandwiches, and pasta.

So even if everyone has different tastes, it is easy for each person to choose what they want. With both brunch and meal dishes available, it has an atmosphere that would also suit anyone looking for a brunch café in Yangsan or a good café-restaurant in Mulgeum.

How was the truffle mushroom gnocchi?

The first dish we ordered that day was the truffle mushroom gnocchi.

The house-made potato gnocchi gives softly under your bite while still retaining its pleasantly chewy texture.

The truffle cream sauce with mushrooms is nutty and deeply aromatic. The cream is thick but not overly heavy, while the mushroom umami and truffle fragrance linger gently afterward. The chewy potato texture works especially well with the rich cream flavor.

If you usually enjoy cream-based gnocchi, this is a dish you are likely to be very satisfied with.

Spicy kimchi fried rice loaded with toppings

The second dish was spicy kimchi fried rice.

Just from the name, I expected familiar kimchi fried rice, but when it arrived, the toppings were far more generous than I had expected.

It comes with plenty of ripe avocado and fluffy egg, making it filling enough as a meal on its own.

Kimchi’s tangy umami is joined by the smooth flavor of avocado and the nutty richness of egg, which rounds out the overall taste.

The avocado is creamy and the egg blends in softly. The spice is not strong either, so it seemed relatively easy to share with people who do not handle strongly seasoned food well or with children.

Chicken salad with bracken and lotus root

The dish recommended by my regular-friend was the bracken mushroom chicken salad.

Even its name is a little different from an ordinary salad, and the actual combination is quite distinctive too. It contains plenty of bracken (fernbrake), topped with roasted lotus root for an interesting texture.

The lotus root has a crisp bite, while the bracken and mushrooms add a gentle aroma and nutty flavor.

After the crisp lotus root, the earthy aroma of bracken and mushrooms lingers for a long time.

The ingredients were familiar, but their combination was unusual enough that it really felt like something I had not tried before.

After one bite, I immediately understood why my friend orders this dish so often.

A relaxed start from 10 a.m.

Mount Sunday opens at 10 a.m. Even if you arrange an early meet-up, you can visit, which makes planning brunch easy.

On the day I visited, customers started arriving quickly after 11 a.m.

It naturally felt like a place that local people return to regularly.

The food was served fairly quickly, and the neatly kept interior made the whole meal comfortable.

Parking and visiting tips

Parking was available in front of the restaurant. At the time of my visit, there was also a nearby grace period for parking and stopping, so parking was not a major inconvenience.

However, permitted parking and stopping zones and times may vary when you visit, so it is best to check on site.

If you are looking for a brunch spot with plenty of menu options near Yangsan University Hospital, Mount Sunday is worth a visit.

With different dishes such as gnocchi, salad, and fried rice available at one table, it is a great choice for a group too. It is a place worth remembering if you want brunch dishes that are a little different from the usual.
