Open-kitchen Western restaurant in Eojin-dong, Sejong: Le Garden Bleu

What kind of place is Le Garden Bleu?

Le Garden Bleu (LE GARDEN BLU) is a Western restaurant in a floor-to-ceiling glass building on the ground floor of KT&G Sejong Tower A in Eojin-dong, Sejong. It's the place with that glass building that catches your eye as you walk past!

The inside of the restaurant is fully visible through the big glass windows, which caught my eye right away. Photos of recommended dishes and their prices are posted at the entrance, which helped me pick my menu in advance.

What are the atmosphere and seating like at Le Garden Bleu?

Open the door and you see the kitchen and counter right away, an open layout, with window seats along the glass and wood-tone tables. The window seats, flooded with light through the big windows, were impressive. Decorated with wooden tables and chairs, it feels comfortable.

On one wall, wine and cookbooks are displayed together, and beer and wine are chilling in the fridge, adding to the restaurant vibe. I immediately felt this is a good spot to have a drink with your meal.

Through the counter I could see the staff busily cooking in the open kitchen. It gave me the feeling that hygiene is well managed and that they're confident in their food, so I was looking forward to it!!

When I sat down, simple dishes and cutlery were neatly set. The menu lists set options and prices in detail, so choosing wasn't hard. And I noticed pickles, perfect for cutting through the richness.

Signature dishes we ordered at Le Garden Bleu, and prices

This day at Le Garden Bleu, we tried three signature dishes. Best choice!

• Earthenware seafood tomato stew pasta ₩17,500
• Mille-feuille pepperoni mushroom cream pizza ₩23,000
• Salmon steak garden ₩18,500

What's in the salmon steak garden (₩18,500) salad?

Le Garden Bleu's salmon steak garden centers on grilled salmon, with avocado, cauliflower, beets, olives and even caprese. Every ingredient was fresh, so it's fun to eat a bit of everything. Like eating healthy, you know? One plate is surprisingly filling.

How does the earthenware seafood tomato stew pasta (₩17,500) taste?

The earthenware seafood tomato stew pasta had a tomato base generously loaded with shrimp, mussels, crab and clams.. It's fun to pick through. The broth is soupy, so you eat it with a spoon, and the pesto on top adds a deep aroma and cuts the richness nicely. A flavor both adults and kids will love!

Why the mille-feuille pepperoni mushroom cream pizza (₩23,000) is a must

The mille-feuille pepperoni mushroom cream pizza came with a dough loaded with pepperoni and cheese, topped with a heap of arugula and Parmesan. Highly recommend this pizza!!

The stretchy cheese had me exclaiming over and over. The truffle aroma delights your nose, and the crispy pastry dough was so moving. The combo of salty pepperoni and bitter arugula is totally addictive. This place really knows its pizza!

Do you need a reservation at Le Garden Bleu?

Even around 1 pm on a weekend Le Garden Bleu had quite a few customers, and on weekdays it's always full, so reserve ahead! They even have kids' high chairs, so families seemed able to eat comfortably. The pasta, pizza and salad were all a satisfying meal. Next time I'll try other dishes!

The restaurant itself is tidy, and even when it's crowded it isn't badly chaotic, so you can eat in a pleasant atmosphere at Le Garden Bleu. If you want a healthy yet filling meal in Eojin-dong, Sejong, I recommend Le Garden Bleu!!
