When you still want some atmosphere but a top-end restaurant feels like too much! When you're not officially together yet, just in the "some" stage! For those times, here's my review of Someday Romance, a no-pressure date spot and brunch favorite in Dunsan-dong!!! ## Where is Someday Romance, and what are the hours and parking? Someday Romance is on the 6th floor of Savezone in Dunsan-dong, Daejeon (201 Dunsan-ro). It's open 10:30am to 9pm (last order 8:10pm) and closed every Monday. For parking, use Savezone's ground-level (1F) or basement 3–4 lots, and 3 hours are covered. ![Photo of Someday Romance location and hours information](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake-01-19tbn-900.webp) ![Photo of Someday Romance basic information on the 6th floor of Savezone](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake-02-lds8n-900.webp) ### Free weekday morning drink with brunch On weekdays between 10:30 and 11:00, anyone who orders brunch gets one free americano, drink or tea per person! Perfect for brunch after dropping the kids off at school or daycare, right? haha ![Photo of Someday Romance's weekday morning free drink event](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake-03-57cei-900.webp) ![Someday Romance weekday event notice](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake-04-1oy3n-900.webp) ## What are Someday Romance's exterior and atmosphere like? Someday Romance is on the 6th floor of Savezone, which is easy to reach, so no parking worries. Take the elevator up and Someday Romance is the only place on the floor, so it's easy to find. ![Entrance of Someday Romance on the 6th floor of Savezone](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake-05-gq7cn-900.webp) It's a bit random, but the interior has a Southeast Asian feel and the mascot is a sheep. Next to it there's a doll whose concept I couldn't figure out... haha ### A Southeast Asian-style brunch restaurant, best after sunset Someday Romance has Southeast Asian-style decor both outside and inside. ![Southeast Asian-style outdoor area of Someday Romance at dusk](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake-06-zr2ce-900.webp) I went around dusk so the photo didn't come out so pretty, but the view with the lights on after dark is really lovely, so I recommend going after sunset if you can. Especially if it's a date!! haha Outside there's a pond and a spot for private dining, which gives it a nice mood. There are fish in the pond, so kids have fun watching them. Even if one falls in, the water is only ankle-deep, so no worries. (Changing their clothes is just a hassle, lol) ### A dreamy, resort-like interior Inside, soft lighting, high ceilings, a stream running through the room and big potted plants make it a good setting for a blind date or an anniversary. Lights and steam rise from the water too, and the kids couldn't take their eyes off it. The resort-style palm tree decor on the tables and the wide spacing between tables also make it good for private conversation. You can look out at the pond from inside, and I'll say it once more: visiting when it's dark gives you an even prettier vibe. I visited around 5:30pm, so there weren't many people. I could relax as if I'd rented the whole place, hahaha. ## Ordering, payment and facilities at Someday Romance You order by kiosk at Someday Romance. It accepts the Daejeon Love Card (a local payment card), and you get 10% cashback when you pay with it, you know that, right? ![Photo of the ordering kiosk at Someday Romance](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake-07-6oz8s-900.webp) ![Photo of payment and the self-bar at Someday Romance](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake-08-1e4qb-900.webp) There's a microwave just for baby food, and at the self-bar you can grab cutlery, forks and kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi). You can also settle parking inside the restaurant, up to 3 hours free. Even if you go over 3 hours because you're shopping at Savezone too, it's combined with other stores, so don't worry! ## Someday Romance menu and prices Someday Romance in Dunsan-dong gets lots of kids, and the menu shows consideration for that. A red chili means a bit spicier than Shin Ramyun, and a blue chili means not spicy for adults but possibly zesty for kids. So thoughtful! - Pasta: mentaiko pasta ₩10,900, perilla cream pasta ₩14,900, Toowoomba pasta ₩15,900, and more - Pizza: gorgonzola pizza ₩15,000, pepperoni pizza ₩16,000, shrimp pizza ₩19,000, and more - 40cm large calzone: cream ₩18,900, ragu ₩21,900, Toowoomba ₩21,900 ![Someday Romance menu of pasta, pizza and calzone](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake-09-7876j-675.webp) - Salad: ricotta salad ₩11,900, grilled chicken salad ₩12,900, bulgogi salad ₩14,900 - Cake: bean cake ₩6,000, brick cake ₩8,000, Basque cheesecake ₩7,000, and more - Drinks: americano ₩5,000, Cass draft beer ₩6,000, sweet potato latte ₩6,000, and more ## Our order: ricotta salad, cream calzone, Toowoomba shrimp risotto and Zero Pepsi Each table is set with basic cutlery and a menu. ![Table at Someday Romance set with cutlery and a menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake-10-18kzw-900.webp) Soon after, our food was ready. You have to pick it up from the pickup zone yourself, but with this much food I carried one tray and a staff member brought the rest. ![The full spread of dishes ordered at Someday Romance](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake-11-o2ehw-900.webp) The dishes were neatly and prettily plated, so I couldn't not take photos. Is this what it means for your eyes to be happy before you even eat? ### Ricotta salad, the perfect supporting act First up to whet the appetite: the ricotta salad! Three scoops of rich, soft ricotta sat on fresh green vegetables. The sweet-and-sour dressing balanced the cheese's flavor and left my mouth feeling fresh and clean, a great starter. A light, healthy dish. You've got to order one salad when you eat Western food, right? haha ![Someday Romance ricotta salad topped with ricotta cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake-12-148fl-900.webp) ### Addictive Toowoomba shrimp risotto Western food doesn't have to mean only rich dishes. Toowoomba shrimp risotto, with its spicy, savory aroma! The thick, creamy Toowoomba sauce soaked deep between the grains of rice, and one bite spread a rich flavor softly through my mouth. A little spiciness made it even tastier. ![Someday Romance Toowoomba shrimp risotto](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake-13-e9ceq-900.webp) The plump shrimp were generous and had a great texture. Not tiny shrimp, but ones bigger than my middle finger folded over! Thanks to the gently spicy finish, I enjoyed it to the last bite without feeling heavy. ![Large shrimp in the Toowoomba shrimp risotto](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake-14-1ebdy-900.webp) ![A spoonful of risotto soaked in Toowoomba sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake-15-7osj2-900.webp) ### A giant 40cm cream calzone The final highlight was the calzone (a folded, half-moon stuffed pizza), which is said to be a must-try at Someday Romance in Daejeon! Since I came with my child, I ordered the non-spicy cream calzone (₩18,900). ![40cm cream calzone at Someday Romance](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake-16-ywn8k-900.webp) Inside the golden, crispy, half-moon dough are soft cheese and plenty of varied fillings. The crispy outside of the dough, the chewy inside and the smooth cream sauce came together in perfect harmony. ![Cross-section of the cream calzone with cheese and fillings](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake-17-1a5rm-900.webp) ![Half-moon calzone served with cream sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake-18-1nzgb-900.webp) It also comes with creamy, savory pasta on the side, boiled to a nice texture. ![Cream pasta served alongside the cream calzone](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake-19-1rsa0-900.webp) ![Plate of cream calzone with side pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake-20-h01yi-900.webp) The cream calzone was really tasty and filling, and the one I was happiest with! haha ![The cream calzone, the most satisfying dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake-21-39e8z-900.webp) ## Someday Romance's apple-shaped cake, almost too pretty to eat Someday Romance's apple cake isn't a cake with apple in it, it actually looks like a real apple. The stem is chocolate, the leaf is a mint leaf, the white inside is cream cheese, and inside that is apple preserve, though I have no idea what they used to make the apple skin (it was amazing haha). It was such a cute apple-shaped dessert that I hated to eat it, but I dug in anyway. Mmm~ it's less sweet than I expected, and I bet it would be insanely good with coffee! ![Someday Romance apple cake that looks like a real apple](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake-22-12u2x-900.webp) ![Inside of the apple cake with cream cheese and apple preserve](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake-23-2wbw8-900.webp) ## Verdict: Someday Romance, a Daejeon brunch date spot > A special restaurant that lacks nothing: taste, atmosphere, value for money and friendly service! ![Main photo of Someday Romance in Dunsan-dong, Daejeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake-24-exspm-1200.webp) ## Where it is - Someday Romance (썸데이로맨스) - 6th floor, Savezone, 201 Dunsan-ro, Seo-gu, Daejeon, South Korea - 대전광역시 서구 둔산로 201 세이브존 6층 - 36.3517915, 127.3957273 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%8D%B8%EB%8D%B0%EC%9D%B4%EB%A1%9C%EB%A7%A8%EC%8A%A4/@36.3517915,127.3957273,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gapcheon-warm-spoon/daejeon-dunsan-calzone-risotto-apple-cake/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
