The blogger ordered an Americano, an iced choco latte and bacon French toast — the toast took a while to come out, but the meaty bacon, salty cheese and a topping of garlic to cut the richness made for a flavor unlike any French toast tried before. With 22 seats total, it's best to arrive early during peak hours. ## Good to know - **Address**: 57 Jongno, Jung-gu, Daegu, South Korea, 1st floor - **Hours**: 11:00 – 22:00 - **Location**: 300m from Exit 4 of Jungangno Station, right next to the Megabox back entrance at Manggyeongwan - **Seating**: 9 two-person tables (18 seats) + 4 dodge seats, 22 total (per the writer's memory) - **Americano**: ₩3,800 - **Café latte**: ₩4,300 - **Vanilla, café mocha, choco**: ₩4,800 - **Matcha**: ₩5,300 - **Ordering**: Select your table number at the kiosk, then order - **Restroom**: Inside, to the right facing the counter *as written by the visitor on Sep 8, 2026* ## A new café 300m from Jungangno Station Exit 4, next to the Megabox back entrance I heard a new café had opened up, so I went to check it out. Otter Rabbit House Jongno Branch, located just 300m from Exit 4 of Jungangno Station, right next to the back entrance of Manggyeongwan Megabox! If you're looking for a café in Jongno, this is a must-visit. Here's my honest review. ![Exterior of Otter Rabbit House Jongno Branch café in Jongno, Daegu](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast-01-d63mh-900.webp) Otter Rabbit House Jongno Branch, famous as a brunch café spot in Jongno, Daegu! Even from the outside, you can feel that fresh new-café vibe. I'd read reviews saying seats can run out during peak hours, so I was on edge — I managed to snag one of the last seats available. ![Cherry bingsu sign posted outside the café](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast-02-1g8nn-900.webp) They also sell cherry bingsu (shaved ice dessert). I think it's nice when a café sells bingsu too, since it gives you more menu variety when going with multiple people. I wanted to try the cherry bingsu too, but I'll pass for today~~ ![Brunch café menu board set up outside the shop](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast-03-hrxvj-900.webp) ## Check the menu on the outdoor board before you go in You can check the menu outside before entering. Being a brunch café, the menu was quite varied. I'd recommend looking at the menu before you go in — you can see photos on the kiosk, but it's inconvenient since you have to check them on the monitor, so look at the outdoor menu board if you want a bigger view. ![Mirror and doorway just inside the entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast-04-zuyss-900.webp) With high expectations, let's head in~~ There's even a mirror right at the entrance haha! Nice touch from the owner!!! ![Antique-style café interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast-05-2aryg-900.webp) ![Café interior seating with two-person tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast-06-144ye-900.webp) ## Antique interior, 22 seats total The inside has an antique atmosphere. From what I remember, there were 9 two-person tables (18 seats) plus 4 dodge seats, for 22 total. You can push two-person tables together to seat 4! ![Café seating with table numbers marked](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast-07-19ogc-900.webp) ### Grab a seat before ordering at the kiosk Before ordering at the kiosk, make sure to grab a seat first and note your table number, then order~ The kiosk has you select your table number as part of the order. ![Café kiosk order screen](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast-08-dpoic-900.webp) ![Kiosk menu selection screen](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast-09-t6qzl-900.webp) ![Kiosk drinks menu screen](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast-10-19e8d-900.webp) ## Coffee prices and brunch menu - Americano ₩3,800 - Café latte ₩4,300 - Vanilla, café mocha, choco ₩4,800 - Matcha ₩5,300 Considering how much café prices have gone up these days, I think this is on the affordable side. ![Sign showing coffee prices](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast-11-1h3ry-900.webp) I think it's a huge plus that you can also enjoy a variety of brunch dishes — striploin steak, lasagna, pizza, pasta, and more~~ ![Brunch menu board with steak and pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast-12-1kgyw-900.webp) This is the paper menu inside! You can check it in front of the counter. There are also teas, signature drinks, ades and more, so take a look. ![Paper menu placed in front of the counter](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast-13-15gfs-900.webp) ## A seat-grabbing competition during peak hours There were seats left outside, so I sat down right away. The place was packed except for two seats. If I'd been any later, I might have had to wait... It was originally a 4-person table, but the owner spaced out two seats for us so we could sit. ![Table by the window seating area](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast-14-enxm2-900.webp) With coffee, lattes, pasta, pizza, salads and more, I think this would be a great date spot. They also sell wine, so it seems good for setting a mood too. Being a new café, everything was well maintained. ![Café interior packed with customers](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast-15-1rwp5-900.webp) Come late and there won't be a seat left!! ![Interior decor pieces in the café](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast-16-142gj-900.webp) ![Hallway next to the counter leading toward the restroom](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast-17-1ewyg-900.webp) ![Neatly kept restroom inside the café](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast-18-wzzrw-900.webp) ### There's a restroom inside too It's on the right when you're facing the counter. The restroom was clean too~ I've seen a lot of cafés lately without an indoor restroom, so I think this is a big plus. ![Americano and iced choco latte that were ordered](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast-19-1lw3q-966.webp) ## Bacon French toast, topped with garlic of all things I ordered an Americano, a chocolate drink, and French toast. Since the toast needed the bacon grilled and the cheese melted, it took quite a while to arrive after ordering. You should expect to wait longer than you'd think! ![French toast topped with cheese and bacon](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast-20-y3gx0-1200.webp) Worth the wait. This was French toast unlike anything I've had in my life. It's not just eggy toast dusted with sugar — the meaty flavor of the bacon, the sauce, the sweetness of the bread and the saltiness of the cheese all come together, and it's just so good. There's garlic on top too, which cuts the richness. Set some aside from the start and eat it alongside the rest. ![Garlic topping placed on top of the French toast](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast-21-1cdu0-900.webp) The Americano was a bit on the weak side, and the iced choco latte has a lot of chocolate settled at the bottom, so if you like things sweet, I'd recommend stirring it all together. ![French toast being cut, cheese stretching out](https://img.superchart.com/images/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast-22-1hr76-900.webp) > All-time best French toast... ## Who should visit I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a new café in Jongno, or a café with a good atmosphere. If you want to experience a different side of French toast in particular, you have to visit and try the bacon French toast. No regrets. Next time I come, I'm skipping the iced choco latte and trying the castella latte choco instead! ## Where it is - Otter Rabbit House Jongno Branch (오터래빗하우스 종로점) - 57 Jongno, Jung-gu, Daegu, South Korea, 1st floor - 대구광역시 중구 종로 57 1층 - 35.8709549, 128.590931 - 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%20%EC%A2%85%EB%A1%9C%EC%A0%90/@35.8709549,128.590931,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@daegu-noon-napkin/otter-rabbit-house-jongno-bacon-french-toast/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
