Short rib pizza and scallop pasta near Seoulsup: Fleurs sur la route

Today my partner and I went to Fleurs sur la route (플르서라구뜨), near Seoulsup. I'd recommend it as a Seoulsup date restaurant: the atmosphere and the food were both great, perfect for a date or a first meeting. Let me share the story right now!

What is the atmosphere at Fleurs sur la route like?

Fleurs sur la route is a lovely restaurant tucked into an alley near Seoulsup. The moment we arrived at the entrance, the relaxed Seoulsup mood was the first thing we felt.

The red bricks of the original house and the plants blend together naturally, so on a nice day I think eating at the outdoor seats would be charming too. Now, let's step inside Fleurs sur la route.

Inside Fleurs sur la route, filled with vintage furniture and plants

The mood from the outside carries straight into the interior, making everything feel warm. The first things that catch your eye are the vintage furniture, plants and little props, packed in so full that I couldn't look away.

Every table has slightly different chairs, and the space is made up of small nooks, so it was nice for a quiet, cozy chat for two. We sat by the window, and the sunlight coming in was wonderful. Now, shall we look at the menu?

Fleurs sur la route menu and weekend time limit

The food menu at Fleurs sur la route includes pizza, pasta, steak and gnocchi, and they sell wine, coffee and tea to go with it. On holidays and weekends there is a courtesy time limit of about 2 hours after you are seated, so please keep that in mind if you're visiting.

Today we ordered the restaurant's main dishes: the Fleurs sur la route pizza and the wine-steamed red scallop spaghetti.

What does the Fleurs sur la route pizza taste like?

The Fleurs sur la route pizza is built on their own tomato sauce and a garlic spread, topped with marinated galbi-sal (beef short rib meat). It came out first, and since it has the restaurant's name in it, we couldn't not order it. It was a pretty pizza.

The dough was wonderfully chewy, giving a real wood-fired pizza feel. The white cheese added at the end looked like a flower, which made the whole thing even cuter and impossible not to stare at.

The center is tomato sauce and the edges are basil pesto, so every slice gave a different flavor, which I loved.

And the garlic-packed sauce was the kick of this pizza. It adds a slight saltiness to a pizza that could otherwise be a bit plain, and I kept reaching for it more than I would for a spicy pizza.

How is the wine-steamed red scallop spaghetti?

The wine-steamed red scallop spaghetti is a combination that sounds delicious from the name alone. Red scallops, wine steaming, spaghetti: if you like seafood, it's hard to walk past. It's slightly spicy, so it would pair well with wine too.

The big pink and purple-tinged scallops, served on a white shell-shaped plate, looked so appetizing.

The sauce is a shallow pool of wine-steamed broth, so it isn't heavy and was easy to keep eating. The savory depth from the scallops and the garlic aroma soaked into the sauce, making the nutty, clean seafood flavor even stronger.

The slight spiciness was just right for my taste, so much so that I could happily slurp the sauce down. Even now, as I write this, I'm still thinking about it.

How did the pizza and spaghetti work together?

The pizza and the wine-steamed red scallop spaghetti made a pretty good pair. The pizza was rich and full-flavored, while the spaghetti was clean and savory with seafood depth, so each had its own charm. The food photographed well and the atmosphere was great, so we were really satisfied.
