Today I'm introducing Downtowner Anguk, a brunch-worthy craft burger spot near Changdeokgung, by Anguk Station in Seoul.
La la la 🎶🎶🎶 It was my first date in Seoul in a long while 🎶🎶🎶 The weather was great and I was so happy ><
What's the atmosphere like at Downtowner Anguk?
Downtowner Anguk is a brunch-style craft burger spot on the Changdeokgung side of Anguk Station. Maybe because it's right by the palace, even the exterior has a very Korean look.
The inside is hanok (traditional Korean house) style too, and it's spacious, with group seats and small-party seats separated. Solo dining works great here as well.
Downtowner Anguk menu and event
The menu has lots of burgers and sides. Getting a set is cheaper and more filling!!!!!! The side options are varied too, which is great.
Check the notices too ^^ There's also a review event running, so join in! You get a corn salad when you take part. (The Downtowner corn salad is really hearty, highly recommended)
Self bar pickles and spicy pickles
The self bar at Downtowner Anguk has pickles and spicy pickles. Pickles are a must at Downtowner! So delicious >< (If you love spicy food, the spicy pickles are great)
One set and one a la carte for two
On our date day at Downtowner Anguk, we ordered one set and one a la carte burger!!!!
Drinks are self-serve, which is great. (Coke Zero, Fanta, Sprite and so on)
Are Downtowner's fries enough to share between two?
The fries are thick and super crispy!!! There's a lot of them too, so enough for two people to share!!!!
Dipped in ketchup they're insanely good bbb (hot sauce goes well with them too)
How does the Downtowner Double (₩13,900) taste?
My date, a burger lover, ordered the Downtowner Double (₩13,900)!!!
Cutting it neatly in half~~~ The signature Downtowner burger is generously packed with beef patty, bacon, American cheese, grilled onion, romaine, tomato and house sauce!
The patties are tender. Going double makes the savory flavor even better. The smoky aroma is no joke bbbbb There's plenty of bacon and beef patty inside, and the beef patty is super soft. Dipping it in ketchup is a honey tip bbb
My date is also a fries lover...
Going maximum, they said that piling fries on top of the burger is insanely good.
What's in the Downtowner Avocado burger (₩12,700)?
I'm the health lover, so I ordered the signature Avocado (₩12,700)!!!!
The Downtowner Avocado comes with beef patty, avocado, bacon, American cheese, grilled onion, romaine, tomato and ranch sauce. It's hearty yet healthy, so I'd recommend it as a diet-friendly burger ^^
Top it with spicy pickles and it's insanely good!!!
Is Downtowner Anguk good for dates and solo meals?
Even though we were full, we cleared everything ^^ Downtowner really is insanely good..>< Downtowner Anguk is great for eating alone and great for a date. You can get a corn salad coupon on Naver, so be sure to grab it before you visit. Highly recommend Downtowner, the burger spot by Changdeokgung near Anguk Station in Seoul 💙
