One bite in, I thought, 'it's like I'm actually holding truffle in my mouth' — the flavor filled every corner. ![Cheongyang pepper bacon cream pasta with a thick cream sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/dana-dongseongro-spicy-bacon-cream-pasta/dana-dongseongro-spicy-bacon-cream-pasta-15-gm8yf-900.webp) The cream sauce was really thick and rich, but the moderate spiciness cut right through any heaviness, so I never got tired of it, even by the last bite. I've learned that good things need to be seen bigger in a gif! ![Bread served alongside the pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/dana-dongseongro-spicy-bacon-cream-pasta/dana-dongseongro-spicy-bacon-cream-pasta-16-4sxan-900.webp) One drawback: the bread had lost a bit of moisture, so it was a little dry. ![Baked risotto topped with the signature sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/dana-dongseongro-spicy-bacon-cream-pasta/dana-dongseongro-spicy-bacon-cream-pasta-17-u9z6g-900.webp) ![Close-up of the baked risotto](https://img.superchart.com/images/dana-dongseongro-spicy-bacon-cream-pasta/dana-dongseongro-spicy-bacon-cream-pasta-18-ml740-900.webp) ## What is the baked risotto like? 🍽Baked Risotto🍽 The signature sauce on top seemed like a savory blend of mustard and mayonnaise — unique and totally addictive. ![Baked risotto cut open to reveal the inside](https://img.superchart.com/images/dana-dongseongro-spicy-bacon-cream-pasta/dana-dongseongro-spicy-bacon-cream-pasta-19-eueaj-900.webp) The scrambled egg and tomato-based rice inside added even more flavor with every bite. It wasn't fully dry like a pilaf, but the thick texture was really appealing. Cutting it up and dipping each piece into the sauce is a must!♡ ![A glass of the refillable soda](https://img.superchart.com/images/dana-dongseongro-spicy-bacon-cream-pasta/dana-dongseongro-spicy-bacon-cream-pasta-20-7gi4g-900.webp) And don't forget — the soda refills are free! ## Verdict: who should eat at Dana Dongseong-ro? My rating for Dana Dongseong-ro Main Branch is ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5). - ✅ What was good: the perfect balance of deep truffle aroma and spicy-rich seasoning, the generous free soda refill service, the moody atmosphere. - ❌ What was lacking: the bread itself was a bit dry in texture (though dipping it in sauce fixes that!), and the long pre-opening waits mean it can be tough to get in without a reservation. - 🔁 Would I return: 100%! Whenever I want Western food in Dongseong-ro, I'll come straight back here without a second thought. - Recommended for: anyone looking for a date spot in Dongseong-ro, or anyone who wants a guaranteed-good hotspot experience in the area. A Dongseong-ro Western restaurant that nails both flavor and atmosphere — the wait and the reservation are completely worth it. You should try it too! ## Where it is - Dana Dongseong-ro Main Branch (다나 동성로본점) - 2nd floor, 12-24 Dongseong-ro 2-gil, Jung-gu, Daegu, South Korea - 대구광역시 중구 동성로2길 12-24 2층 - 35.8662609, 128.5964598 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%8B%A4%EB%82%98%20%EB%8F%99%EC%84%B1%EB%A1%9C%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@35.8662609,128.5964598,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@daegu-order-slip/dana-dongseongro-spicy-bacon-cream-pasta/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
