I genuinely scraped the plate clean haha ![Set bread served with whipped cream](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-dunsan-cacio-e-pepe-truffle-gnocchi/plate-dunsan-cacio-e-pepe-truffle-gnocchi-16-4az5i-900.webp) ![Bread topped with whipped cream](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-dunsan-cacio-e-pepe-truffle-gnocchi/plate-dunsan-cacio-e-pepe-truffle-gnocchi-17-1rjpt-900.webp) The bread came with whipped cream too, sweet and pairs really well as expected! ![Corn soup served as part of the set](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-dunsan-cacio-e-pepe-truffle-gnocchi/plate-dunsan-cacio-e-pepe-truffle-gnocchi-18-gzup7-900.webp) The soup was corn soup, sweet and delicious!!!!!! Dipping the bread that comes with it is also tasty,,✨ It's only ₩4,000 more, so personally I'd recommend upgrading one dish to the set ❕ ## Bacon cacio e pepe (10,900 won) with peach-shaped noodles I personally love cacio e pepe so this was the dish I ordered!! A pasta with a strong pepper and cheese flavor, and the salty bacon on top pairs so well with it 🥺🤍 You can tell just by looking how thick and rich it looks 〰️ ![Thick, rich bacon cacio e pepe pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-dunsan-cacio-e-pepe-truffle-gnocchi/plate-dunsan-cacio-e-pepe-truffle-gnocchi-19-107tl-900.webp) I went with the recommended peach-shaped noodle, and sure enough the noodle had a firm bite with good chew, and it soaked up the seasoning well so it was delicious 🤍 The one small letdown was that the sauce was too thin — I wished it had been reduced down a bit more for more flavor,,? Though honestly scooping up the sauce on its own is tasty in its own way >,< kind of like a cream pasta without the cream,, If you like pepper and cheese, you'll probably be very satisfied!! ![Close-up of the peach-shaped noodles chosen for the cacio e pepe](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-dunsan-cacio-e-pepe-truffle-gnocchi/plate-dunsan-cacio-e-pepe-truffle-gnocchi-20-1fy0i-900.webp) ## Truffle bacon cream gnocchi (15,900 won) at Plate Dunsan As a gnocchi lover, of course I ordered gnocchi too!! ![A plate of truffle bacon cream gnocchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-dunsan-cacio-e-pepe-truffle-gnocchi/plate-dunsan-cacio-e-pepe-truffle-gnocchi-21-1nruu-900.webp) ![Potato gnocchi coated in thick cream sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-dunsan-cacio-e-pepe-truffle-gnocchi/plate-dunsan-cacio-e-pepe-truffle-gnocchi-22-1tahc-900.webp) The cream sauce was thick and rich, with a strong truffle flavor too, so it was delicious just scooped up on its own ᅲᅲ On top of that the chewy potato-packed gnocchi made me genuinely happy,,🤍 ## Verdict: Plate Dunsan Branch as a date spot in Dunsan-dong, Daejeon If you're looking for a good Western restaurant in Dunsan-dong!! I recommend Plate 🤍 The menu is just right for a date or a blind date, so I'd recommend it to anyone looking for that kind of spot too.
