I visited at opening for vanilla French toast and bisque lobster pasta, and loved the generous portions and sweet-savory pairing. Verdict: a lovely brunch stop before a stroll. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–21:00 - **Last order**: 19:50 - **Break time**: 15:00–17:00 - **Parking**: Use a nearby public parking lot - **Dogs**: Allowed - **Active-duty military discount**: 50% off available - **Vanilla French Toast**: ₩13,900 - **Bisque Lobster Pasta**: ₩28,900 - **Seating**: Window seats, tables for two, and larger-group seating *as written by the visitor on Sep 12, 2026* I loved HEOD Yeonnam so much that I visited often, so I was absolutely delighted to hear that HEOD Gongdeok had newly opened and went right away :) It’s a place I really love for French toast! 🤍 ![HEOD Mapo business hours information](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-brunch-cream-french-toast-haeot/gongdeok-brunch-cream-french-toast-haeot-01-12086-1200.webp) ## Brunch by the Gyeongui Line Forest Park near Daheung Station ### Exterior ![Exterior of HEOD Gongdeok](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-brunch-cream-french-toast-haeot/gongdeok-brunch-cream-french-toast-haeot-02-m3sk1-966.webp) At first, since the location was listed as Gongdeok, I wondered if it would be near Gongdeok Station! But when I actually went, it was closer to Daheung Station. For parking, you’ll need to use a nearby public parking lot. ![Parking information near HEOD Mapo](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-brunch-cream-french-toast-haeot/gongdeok-brunch-cream-french-toast-haeot-03-q7kvg-966.webp) It’s right in front of the Gyeongui Line Forest Park, so it’s perfect for a light stroll after eating. I made a reservation for the 11 a.m. opening time! Since I arrived right when it opened, there were hardly any people at first—but by around noon, the seats were nearly full before I knew it 👀 ![HEOD Mapo at opening time](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-brunch-cream-french-toast-haeot/gongdeok-brunch-cream-french-toast-haeot-04-1tstf-966.webp) No wonder it’s so popular...! If you’d like a quieter visit, I recommend arriving around opening time :) ![Visitor information for HEOD Mapo](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-brunch-cream-french-toast-haeot/gongdeok-brunch-cream-french-toast-haeot-05-vdipw-966.webp) ![Dog-friendly information for HEOD Mapo](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-brunch-cream-french-toast-haeot/gongdeok-brunch-cream-french-toast-haeot-06-1et4v-966.webp) Dogs are welcome too 🐶🤍 And active-duty military personnel can get an incredible 50% discount, so definitely keep that in mind if it applies to you! ## Inside, from window seats to larger tables ### Interior ![Interior seating at HEOD Mapo](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-brunch-cream-french-toast-haeot/gongdeok-brunch-cream-french-toast-haeot-07-11czt-966.webp) ![Interior space at HEOD Mapo](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-brunch-cream-french-toast-haeot/gongdeok-brunch-cream-french-toast-haeot-08-yad23-966.webp) There was a nice variety of seating, from window seats and tables for two to larger-group seating! There are cozy spots for two as well as tables for groups, so it seems great not only for dates but also for get-togethers with friends :) ![Window seats and tables at HEOD Mapo](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-brunch-cream-french-toast-haeot/gongdeok-brunch-cream-french-toast-haeot-09-xp4qy-966.webp) ![Large-group seating at HEOD Mapo](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-brunch-cream-french-toast-haeot/gongdeok-brunch-cream-french-toast-haeot-10-1ef08-966.webp) I sat by the window, and the atmosphere was lovely—it was pretty for photos too 🤍 However, the window area had some bugs and was a little dirty in spots, which was a bit disappointing ㅠㅠ ![Window seating at HEOD Mapo](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-brunch-cream-french-toast-haeot/gongdeok-brunch-cream-french-toast-haeot-11-yril5-966.webp) If you’re looking for a great brunch spot in Gongdeok, this is it~ 🤍 ## Vanilla French toast and bisque lobster pasta - Vanilla French Toast ₩13,900 - Bisque Lobster Pasta ₩28,900 ![Vanilla French toast and lobster pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-brunch-cream-french-toast-haeot/gongdeok-brunch-cream-french-toast-haeot-12-1xpoy-966.webp) My absolute favorite menu item at HEOD! 🤍 I ordered the vanilla French toast. The portion is generous for the price, so it’s great value—and if you come here, you absolutely, absolutely have to try the vanilla French toast! ![HEOD vanilla French toast](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-brunch-cream-french-toast-haeot/gongdeok-brunch-cream-french-toast-haeot-13-1snfi-966.webp) When it first came out, there was hardly any whipped cream, so I was a little taken aback...! But did you know HEOD offers unlimited whipped cream? 👀 I asked a staff member for a little more, and they immediately brought over a generous amount! ![Extra whipped cream for French toast](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-brunch-cream-french-toast-haeot/gongdeok-brunch-cream-french-toast-haeot-14-18uwx-966.webp) Haha, that really is a ton of whipped cream, right? 🤍 French toast is definitely best piled high with whipped cream...! I’ve tried French toast at many places, but personally, I think this is the best. The outside is beautifully golden, while the inside is incredibly moist and soft—the bread just melts...🥹 ![Moist vanilla French toast](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-brunch-cream-french-toast-haeot/gongdeok-brunch-cream-french-toast-haeot-15-i2iu6-966.webp) The bisque lobster pasta was also seriously delicious! 🦞🍝 It was savory with the rich umami of the bisque sauce, and had a slight spicy finish, so it didn’t feel heavy. My friend said it was delicious as soon as they tried it—we were both so happy with this dish! ![Bisque lobster pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-brunch-cream-french-toast-haeot/gongdeok-brunch-cream-french-toast-haeot-16-3ha94-966.webp) Since the French toast is on the sweet side, having bites of pasta in between made for the perfect sweet-savory combination :) And the portions here are really huge...! Even with just two dishes between two people, you can leave truly full. Even when I order two dishes with my boyfriend, we always have leftovers..ㅠ From sweet French toast to filling pasta, the portions were generous and everything was delicious, so I left very satisfied :) It’s especially nice being right in front of the Gyeongui Line Forest Park—you can have a delicious brunch and then take a walk, so I recommend it as a Gongdeok date course too! ## Where it is - HEOD Gongdeok (해옫 공덕) - 24 Gwangseong-ro 6-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울특별시 마포구 광성로6길 24 1층) - 서울특별시 마포구 광성로6길 24 1층 - 37.548798, 126.9387185 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%95%B4%EC%98%AB%20%EA%B3%B5%EB%8D%95/@37.548798,126.9387185,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@chopstick-interval/gongdeok-brunch-cream-french-toast-haeot/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
