Such an atmosphere-driven place 🥰 It would be great for a gathering or a date, and as a Sangmu district brunch spot, it had such a lovely mood for brunch too.

## Bueokgan Sangmu Branch menu and weekend visit

Bueokgan's menu consisted of Western-style dishes such as salads, pasta, rice dishes, steak, and pizza. There were set menus too, making it a good-value option.

I visited at around 2 PM on the weekend, and the tables were almost full. By the time I left, most people had gone, but you could see the traces of a full turnover, haha. Definitely deserving of its reputation as a Sangmu district brunch spot!! 👍

## Shrimp rosé pasta and Pema-nong jambon pizza

I ordered the shrimp rosé pasta and

![Shrimp rosé pasta and jambon pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-sangmu-brunch-vintage-pizza/gwangju-sangmu-brunch-vintage-pizza-16-1lxlp-966.webp)

the Pema-nong jambon pizza. The pizza's appearance in particular was absolutely explosive...🐲

### Rosé pasta packed with shrimp and button mushrooms

The shrimp rosé pasta was packed with shrimp and button mushrooms, and both were plump and so delicious, haha.

I wondered whether the sauce would be spicy, but it was not—it was simply a delicious rosé sauce.

The noodles were cooked just right too, and it felt like it had been a while since I had eaten truly delicious pasta 🥹

There was lots of pasta sauce left, so I ordered bread and dipped it in the remaining sauce. It was just perfect 😆

### Pema-nong jambon pizza with scallion spread and honey

> Pema-nong is the Jeju dialect word for green onion. This pizza is baked with scallion spread and jambon, then served with honey and scallions.

I love green onions, onions, garlic, and things like that, so I chose it after seeing the menu photo and description—and it was a complete success..!! 👏 👏 It was totally, completely my style.

The scallion spread tasted like green-onion cream cheese, and the jambon was tasty too. The honey added sweetness, but the scallions kept it from becoming too rich 🫰🫰

The Pema-nong jambon pizza was so delicious that I feel like I could eat it every single day without getting tired of it, haha.

I also really loved that it was piled high with scallions 🤣 Even a middle-schooler who absolutely hates scallions tried it and said it was delicious, so I totally recommend it, haha.
