It's a brunch café that feels both stylish and cozy, so the two of us sat and chatted away for a whole hour. ## The bakery display ![Bakery display case at Otter Rabbit House](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-mother-daughter-brunch/otter-rabbit-house-mother-daughter-brunch-08-tct5e-900.webp) ![A variety of breads and desserts on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-mother-daughter-brunch/otter-rabbit-house-mother-daughter-brunch-09-1qevr-900.webp) The bakery display case in one corner of Otter Rabbit House also caught my eye. There were more varieties than I expected, and every single one looked delicious. Since the place is so popular, a few items were already sold out, which was a bit disappointing, but what remained was still plenty good! ## Menu and how to order ![Menu board listing pasta and ragu tteokbokki](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-mother-daughter-brunch/otter-rabbit-house-mother-daughter-brunch-10-ytk9h-900.webp) Ordering at Otter Rabbit House is simple — just use the kiosk in the store. There's a full lineup perfect for enjoying brunch, like pasta, toast, and ragu tteokbokki! For the summer season, they also have cherry bingsu (shaved ice dessert). Oh, and they sell wine too — next time I'll have to come back for dinner with my husband and pair it with a glass. ## What we ordered and the prices ![Table setting with jambon butter pasta and ragu tteokbokki](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-mother-daughter-brunch/otter-rabbit-house-mother-daughter-brunch-11-nt0yg-900.webp) 📒 What we ordered — jambon butter pasta ₩18,000, ragu tteokbokki ₩13,000. ## How the jambon butter pasta and ragu tteokbokki taste ![Plated jambon butter pasta and ragu tteokbokki](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-mother-daughter-brunch/otter-rabbit-house-mother-daughter-brunch-12-1vj3e-1200.webp) I had the jambon butter pasta and the ragu tteokbokki, and my middle-school daughter was so taken by the mouthwatering visuals and pretty plating that she snapped several photos before we even started eating. ![Jambon butter pasta served in European-style tableware](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-mother-daughter-brunch/otter-rabbit-house-mother-daughter-brunch-13-z9nb8-900.webp) ### Jambon butter pasta Served in charming European-style tableware with a delicious smell wafting up — haha, it put me in a good mood before I'd even taken a bite. ![Jambon butter pasta topped with arugula and pistachio](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-mother-daughter-brunch/otter-rabbit-house-mother-daughter-brunch-14-apu5i-900.webp) ![Close-up of the miso-based jambon butter pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-mother-daughter-brunch/otter-rabbit-house-mother-daughter-brunch-15-pjgpq-900.webp) Apparently this is Otter Rabbit House's popular pasta made with a Japanese-style miso base. I never imagined a Japanese miso base could pair so elegantly with a Western-style pasta. On top of that, the buttery flavor with fragrant arugula cuts through any heaviness, and then there's the nutty crunch of pistachio — wow, it's so, so delicious. ![Pasta showing wide noodles and jambon ham](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-mother-daughter-brunch/otter-rabbit-house-mother-daughter-brunch-16-xtgbe-900.webp) The noodles were wide and chewy, and they didn't skimp on the jambon ham either — the quality was excellent!! ![Lifting a forkful of pasta noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-mother-daughter-brunch/otter-rabbit-house-mother-daughter-brunch-17-10s6y-900.webp) ### Ragu tteokbokki The ragu tteokbokki has become my daughter's favorite tteokbokki — the sauce alone was on a different level. Ground pork and beef along with finely diced vegetables are stir-fried with tomato paste, then simmered slowly for a long time — this handmade sauce was the kicker. ![Ragu tteokbokki topped with handmade ragu sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-mother-daughter-brunch/otter-rabbit-house-mother-daughter-brunch-18-1ju9f-900.webp) It was definitely a flavor that store-bought sauce or the usual gochujang base could never replicate. ![Rice cakes tossed in tomato ragu sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-mother-daughter-brunch/otter-rabbit-house-mother-daughter-brunch-19-1empb-900.webp) The ragu sauce soaked perfectly into the chewy rice cakes, so every bite was packed with savory flavor, ![A bite of ragu tteokbokki with visible meat pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-mother-daughter-brunch/otter-rabbit-house-mother-daughter-brunch-20-jc226-900.webp) and with plenty of meat to chew on too, the texture was even better. The nutty, savory-salty flavor of the pasta paired perfectly with the rich, deep umami of the ragu tteokbokki. It was a sophisticated ragu tteokbokki that won over kids and adults alike. ## Final thoughts Otter Rabbit House, the Sangin-dong brunch café I chose for some quality time with my middle-school daughter. The European-style interior was a great space for a relaxed chat with my teenage daughter, and it was all the more satisfying as a brunch spot where you could feel the care put into every dish. If you're looking for a brunch café around Sangin-dong, Dowon-dong, or Woelgwang Waterside Park, I recommend Otter Rabbit House. ## Where it is - Otter Rabbit House (오터래빗하우스) - 63 Mirisaem-gil 1F, Dalseo-gu, Daegu, South Korea - 대구광역시 달서구 미리샘길 63 1층 - 35.807174, 128.5451928 - 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/@35.807174,128.5451928,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@chilseong-plain-spoon/otter-rabbit-house-mother-daughter-brunch/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
