Misa dinner restaurant: truffle butter, garden 3rd floor, Bokkeriu

These days a fairly cool breeze blows in the evenings, and I've been wanting to eat slowly somewhere with a nice atmosphere. This time I went to Bokkeriu (BOKKE;RIO) in Misa, Hanam, where you can enjoy good food and look around a pretty space too!

Hanwoo (Korean beef) steak and truffle mushroom risotto, of course, plus an interior where green plants and warm lighting come together~ Delicious food plus atmosphere made for a relaxed dinner. We went in the evening and the space was so pretty that I started wondering what it looks like in the daytime.

What is the atmosphere like at Bokkeriu?

Bokkeriu is a restaurant where each floor has a slightly different mood. The 1st floor is a separate space, and we ate on the 2nd floor.

Stepping into the 2nd floor, the first things I noticed were the soft lighting, wooden tables and plants dotted around. You can also see the open kitchen, so it feels different from an ordinary restaurant! It's not too flashy, and I liked how comfortable and warm it felt.

One side had a display of various wines. Under the soft lighting it's nice for eating and chatting, the kind of mood people looking for a Misa date restaurant would be interested in. I thought it would also suit a special day like an anniversary, spending relaxed time over good Western food.

Steak set for 2 starters: salad and bread

The Bokkeriu steak set for 2 started with bread, soup and a colorful salad. As the dishes were laid out on the table one by one, I got excited to really dig in!

Salad topped with ricotta cheese

A salad full of freshness and zest! Colorful fresh greens came generously loaded with cherry tomatoes, olives and nuts.

The vegetables were fresh and crunchy, and the tangy dressing really woke up my appetite. The white ricotta cheese on both sides of the salad was another highlight! Soft, nutty and full of flavor, it went wonderfully with the fresh vegetables.

The nuttiness of the nuts I bit into here and there made it even more fun to eat. It's great for whetting the appetite before the steak, and eaten alongside the meat it felt even lighter and fresher.

Bread with truffle butter

The bread came with butter flecked with truffle. I spread plenty of butter on the bread, and it looked like you could taste that signature truffle aroma! The butter soaking into the bread looks really tempting, doesn't it?

Even a small touch like this felt carefully thought out, which made me look forward to the main dishes even more.

Rich, creamy truffle mushroom risotto

Next in the set for 2 was the truffle mushroom risotto! With mushrooms in a creamy sauce, it looked rich just from the sight of it. When I put a big mushroom on my spoon, it was glistening~

The smooth texture of the risotto and the presence of the mushrooms came through so well that I took lots of photos. haha I'd recommend it to anyone who likes cream-based risotto. The mushroom texture was truly the best~

How was the medium Hanwoo striploin steak?

For today's main, the Hanwoo striploin steak, I asked for medium and it was just right^^ The steak I'd been waiting for finally arrived! On a big black plate came the nicely grilled steak with a variety of roasted vegetables.

Zucchini, mushrooms, onion and green vegetables made a pretty mix of colors. But what really caught my eye was the cross-section of the steak! The outside was grilled appetizingly and the inside stayed red, a juicy-looking sight that left an impression.

I cut the steak into bite-sized pieces and put them on my plate with the roasted vegetables. Doesn't it look prettier and much tastier with the vegetables on top of the meat?

The Hanwoo striploin steak is a dish where you enjoy the flavor of the meat itself, then try another combination with the side vegetables. Savoring it bite by bite like this seems to make a restaurant dinner even more special.

Bokkeriu's plant-filled 3rd floor after dinner

The 3rd floor of Bokkeriu is decorated with autumn decorations, marble tables and green plants. After finishing the meal we took a quick look at the other floors, and when we visited there were no guests, so it was quiet. There were even comfy-looking chairs! It felt like walking into a restaurant inside a little garden.

The 3rd floor in particular was even prettier with green plants all around. I imagine that with natural light in the daytime it would feel completely different. It was lovely enough in the evening, but visiting by day would probably let you see the surrounding scenery more clearly! I found myself wanting to come back in daylight and enjoy the space at leisure. 🌿

※ We couldn't confirm the separate operating hours of the 3rd floor, so please check with the restaurant before visiting.

Bokkeriu's outdoor views in the evening

The outdoor view of Bokkeriu in the evening was quietly atmospheric too. Lights twinkled between the trees, and with the lights in the distance they made a calm mood. You could probably enjoy green scenery by day and a soft night view in the evening, so it seems to have a different charm depending on the time.

There were plants on the indoor window ledge too, so we could feel the fresh atmosphere right to the end.

Bokkeriu steak set for 2: the verdict

Bokkeriu was a restaurant where looking around the space was fun as well as the food. The Hanwoo striploin steak I ordered medium and enjoyed, the risotto with its creamy sauce and great mushroom texture, the zesty ricotta cheese salad and the bread too! I liked being able to try such a variety with the steak set for 2.

The warmly lit 2nd-floor dining area and the 3rd floor decorated with green plants stay in my memory too. The soft evening atmosphere was charming, and next time I'd like to come in bright daylight and enjoy the surrounding scenery as well. If you're looking for a Misa date restaurant, or planning a special meal somewhere with a nice atmosphere with family, I hope this story of visiting Bokkeriu helps.
