Visiting on a weekday early evening with a toddler, the writer ordered the fire-grilled chapsteak pizza at 22,900 won and the creamy rosé pasta set at 14,900 won with squid ink noodles, and staff brought baby dishware, disposable utensils and a high chair. The creamy rosé is not spicy, so it was easy to share with a child, making Plate Dunsan Branch a comfortable family dinner out. ## Good to know - **Location**: 2nd floor, 34 Dunsan-ro 31beon-gil, Seo-gu, Daejeon (near Timeworld department store) - **Parking**: Underground parking available - **Fire-grilled chapsteak pizza**: 22,900 won - **Creamy rosé pasta (set)**: 14,900 won - **Set includes**: Salad, Bushman bread, soup - **Noodle choice**: Choose from 12 pasta noodles, all house-made fresh pasta - **With children**: Baby dishware, disposable spoon and fork, high chair provided - **Visit time**: Weekday early evening (popular enough to have a wait on weekends) *as written by the visitor on Sep 18, 2026* A while back, my son Dohyun, my husband and I went out to eat in Dunsan-dong for the first time in a while, haha😄 When you're eating out with a kid, you naturally start looking for menu items they can actually eat.

Because of that, we got to sit by the window💚 The green tree-lined view through the big windows really set the mood, right? ![Window seat with a tree-lined street view through floor-to-ceiling windows](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-dunsan-kids-squid-ink-pasta/plate-dunsan-kids-squid-ink-pasta-05-1rtga-900.webp) I'd also recommend this as a Dunsan-dong date spot given the atmosphere. I heard weekends get busy enough that there's a wait. ![Atmosphere of the Plate Dunsan Branch dining room on a weekday early evening](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-dunsan-kids-squid-ink-pasta/plate-dunsan-kids-squid-ink-pasta-06-27e41-674.webp) ## How to order at Plate Dunsan and pick from 12 pasta noodles At Plate Dunsan Branch, you order by checking boxes on a paper menu, and the set menus have really good composition and good prices too. ![Paper order menu at Plate Dunsan Branch where you check off your choices](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-dunsan-kids-squid-ink-pasta/plate-dunsan-kids-squid-ink-pasta-07-vrqs8-900.webp) What makes this pizza and pasta spot in Dunsan-dong special is the noodle-selection menu. They use handmade fresh noodles, which makes it even more special. ![Menu listing 12 pasta noodle options to choose from](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-dunsan-kids-squid-ink-pasta/plate-dunsan-kids-squid-ink-pasta-08-1pc1h-900.webp) Instead of indecisive me, my son picked noodle No. 3, the squid ink spaghetti, lol. Oh- but how did he know squid ink noodles were tasty? He must really be on his second life...🤔 ## Why Plate Dunsan Branch works with a toddler: baby dishware and a high chair Plate Dunsan Branch kindly brings out baby dishware too👍🏻 They gave us disposable spoons and forks so nothing felt dangerous, which was great! Restaurant dishware always feels heavy and risky, lol. ![Baby dishware and disposable spoon and fork given to the child](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-dunsan-kids-squid-ink-pasta/plate-dunsan-kids-squid-ink-pasta-09-187ss-900.webp) ![Baby dishware set up on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-dunsan-kids-squid-ink-pasta/plate-dunsan-kids-squid-ink-pasta-10-1wg2y-900.webp) ## What we ordered at Plate Dunsan and what it cost After we ordered, they brought out adult dishware too. What we ordered: fire-grilled chapsteak pizza for 22,900 won, and creamy rosé pasta (set) for 14,900 won. ![Adult dishware set up after ordering](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-dunsan-kids-squid-ink-pasta/plate-dunsan-kids-squid-ink-pasta-11-1shl4-900.webp) They first brought out the salad, bread, and soup that came with the set. ![Salad, bread and soup included in the set spread on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-dunsan-kids-squid-ink-pasta/plate-dunsan-kids-squid-ink-pasta-12-fm4bu-900.webp) The salad was so fresh and the dressing was delicious! ![Fresh set salad topped with dressing](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-dunsan-kids-squid-ink-pasta/plate-dunsan-kids-squid-ink-pasta-13-1xlce-900.webp) They also brought out the Bushman bread that my son loves so much!! ![Bushman bread served as part of the set](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-dunsan-kids-squid-ink-pasta/plate-dunsan-kids-squid-ink-pasta-14-1ovg8-900.webp) And the tasty soup... I really, really recommend this set. ![Warm soup included in the set](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-dunsan-kids-squid-ink-pasta/plate-dunsan-kids-squid-ink-pasta-15-x3u86-1200.webp) And then our order arrived: the fire-grilled chapsteak pizza and the creamy rosé pasta (squid ink noodles)! ![Fire-grilled chapsteak pizza and squid ink creamy rosé pasta on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-dunsan-kids-squid-ink-pasta/plate-dunsan-kids-squid-ink-pasta-16-1nzwi-900.webp) ![Full view of the fire-grilled pizza topped with chapsteak](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-dunsan-kids-squid-ink-pasta/plate-dunsan-kids-squid-ink-pasta-17-4136f-900.webp) ![Creamy rosé pasta served with squid ink spaghetti noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-dunsan-kids-squid-ink-pasta/plate-dunsan-kids-squid-ink-pasta-18-oyidm-900.webp) ## Fire-grilled chapsteak pizza: could a child eat it? We tried the pizza first. True to its name, it had chapsteak (stir-fried chunk steak) piled on top, so it felt a bit heartier than a regular topping pizza. With the meat topping on top of everything, one slice felt more filling than pizza alone. ![A slice of fire-grilled chapsteak pizza piled with meat topping](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-dunsan-kids-squid-ink-pasta/plate-dunsan-kids-squid-ink-pasta-19-199ub-900.webp) ![A lifted slice of chapsteak pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-dunsan-kids-squid-ink-pasta/plate-dunsan-kids-squid-ink-pasta-20-1pk14-900.webp) My son showed interest the moment he saw the pizza, so I cut it into bite-sized pieces for him. The edge of the crust was a bit spicy so we only shared the center part, and Dohyun seemed to enjoy it and ate well, haha. ![Pizza cut into bite-sized pieces for the child](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-dunsan-kids-squid-ink-pasta/plate-dunsan-kids-squid-ink-pasta-21-15ft3-900.webp) ## Creamy rosé pasta with squid ink noodles And then the pasta I was most looking forward to that day! We chose squid ink spaghetti for our creamy rosé pasta. Even with the same pasta, the texture and eating experience change depending on which noodle you pick. ![Black squid ink noodles lifted with a fork from the creamy rosé pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-dunsan-kids-squid-ink-pasta/plate-dunsan-kids-squid-ink-pasta-22-dv5wb-900.webp) At first I wondered if Dohyun would find the black noodles strange, but nope, lol... He took one bite and ended up eating way more than I expected.😂 He ate so well that day that his mom and dad kept giving him more from our own portions. Watching him go "more please~" while eating made my heart swell too, haha. Thanks to the creamy rosé sauce, it blended smoothly with the noodles. When picking a dish to eat with a kid, you tend to avoid anything too spicy or intense, so having a pasta option like this made it easy to share. ![Pasta plate shared with the child](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-dunsan-kids-squid-ink-pasta/plate-dunsan-kids-squid-ink-pasta-23-1inbx-900.webp) And there's a high chair too~ ![High chair set up at the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/plate-dunsan-kids-squid-ink-pasta/plate-dunsan-kids-squid-ink-pasta-24-570wl-m-900.webp) ## Is Plate Dunsan Branch worth it for a family dinner? The atmosphere was great, and the pasta and pizza were both really special and delicious at this Italian spot in Daejeon, Plate — I recommend it, recommend it, recommend it. I'm definitely coming back, and I'd give it 💯 points!!
