During the day it's a great Haenggung-dong brunch spot for leisurely enjoying pasta, salad, and coffee, and in the evening it's a good Haenggung-dong wine bar for pairing wine with your meal. ## What we ordered at Nonchalant Lounge That day we ordered homemade meatballs and French baguette, crispy thin pizza, garlic butter rice as an add-on, bisque rosé pasta, and lemonade. ![Table with meatballs, pasta, and thin pizza all together](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-hwaseong-nonchalant-lounge-meatball-lunch/suwon-hwaseong-nonchalant-lounge-meatball-lunch-08-1wsl0-1200.webp) ### Homemade meatballs with French baguette First, the homemade meatballs and French baguette was a dish I really wanted to try at Nonchalant Lounge. The large meatballs had a soft texture and rich meaty flavor, and eating them with the tomato sauce brought out even more savoriness. The French baguette served alongside was great for scooping up plenty of sauce — a combo I ended up finishing down to the last bite. ![Homemade meatballs and French baguette with tomato sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-hwaseong-nonchalant-lounge-meatball-lunch/suwon-hwaseong-nonchalant-lounge-meatball-lunch-09-b2a6a-900.webp) ![Dipping French baguette into meatball sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-hwaseong-nonchalant-lounge-meatball-lunch/suwon-hwaseong-nonchalant-lounge-meatball-lunch-10-jzmic-900.webp) ### Garlic butter rice add-on Adding garlic butter rice let us enjoy the meatballs' flavor even more heartily. The savory butter aroma and sharp garlic scent soaked well into the rice, making it great for mixing with the meatball sauce. It's a good add-on when pasta and pizza alone feel like they're not quite enough. ![Garlic butter rice add-on served with the meatballs](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-hwaseong-nonchalant-lounge-meatball-lunch/suwon-hwaseong-nonchalant-lounge-meatball-lunch-11-1afku-900.webp) ![Garlic butter rice mixed with meatball sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-hwaseong-nonchalant-lounge-meatball-lunch/suwon-hwaseong-nonchalant-lounge-meatball-lunch-12-mw85v-900.webp) ### Bisque rosé pasta The bisque rosé pasta is a dish with an appealing rosé sauce full of deep umami from shrimp and seafood. The soft, savory rosé sauce combined with the bisque's rich flavor made every bite feel full-bodied. It wasn't too heavy, either — a subtle spiciness made it easy to finish without feeling weighed down. ![A plate of bisque rosé pasta with shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-hwaseong-nonchalant-lounge-meatball-lunch/suwon-hwaseong-nonchalant-lounge-meatball-lunch-13-lpqt3-900.webp) ![Lifting a forkful of pasta coated in rosé sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-hwaseong-nonchalant-lounge-meatball-lunch/suwon-hwaseong-nonchalant-lounge-meatball-lunch-14-182cl-900.webp) ### Crispy thin pizza The crispy thin pizza has a thin, crunchy crust, so it was good to order alongside the pasta. Because the crust is thin, even ordering several dishes didn't feel too heavy, and the crispy texture made it fun to share slice by slice. It pairs well with wine or lemonade, so I'd recommend it on a day you want to enjoy the Haenggung-dong wine bar vibe. ![Crispy thin pizza with a thin, crunchy crust](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-hwaseong-nonchalant-lounge-meatball-lunch/suwon-hwaseong-nonchalant-lounge-meatball-lunch-15-15oa5-900.webp) ### Lemonade The lemonade had a refreshing, tangy taste that cleanly cut through the rich flavors of the rosé pasta and meatballs. It's nice to sip between bites, and it's a drink that still feels atmospheric even on a day you're not drinking wine! ## Why Nonchalant Lounge suits a meal after walking Suwon Hwaseong ![Table at Nonchalant Lounge with the meal and lemonade](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-hwaseong-nonchalant-lounge-meatball-lunch/suwon-hwaseong-nonchalant-lounge-meatball-lunch-16-mw3q2-900.webp) ![Interior of Nonchalant Lounge lit up in the evening](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-hwaseong-nonchalant-lounge-meatball-lunch/suwon-hwaseong-nonchalant-lounge-meatball-lunch-17-7eeod-900.webp) Nonchalant Lounge is a great Suwon Hwaseong restaurant with a feel-good Western menu that covers both Haenggung-dong brunch and Haenggung-dong wine bar moods.
