A space inspired by a Swedish art museum

A European-style restaurant, this is Bueokgan's 18th location — Bueokgan Restaurant Yangsan.

<The origin story of Bueokgan Restaurant> Designed with inspiration from Sweden's national art museum, the space combines high ceilings, soft arched curves, and vintage furniture for an exotic atmosphere.

Heading inside~

High chairs and kids' tableware are available.

The vintage furniture and various objects were personally selected from Britain, France, Italy, and other spots in Europe.

It all completes the space's sense of depth and classic mood.

Corkage and table spacing

Corkage is free (in the spirit of a healthy wine culture) for up to 3 bottles — from the 4th bottle on, it's ₩15,000 per bottle.

The tables are spaced relatively generously, so you can eat comfortably without worrying too much about the table next to you.

What we ordered for two, and the prices

• Napa cabbage Caesar salad ₩16,000
• Truffle mushroom cream gnocchi ₩22,000
• Sweet pumpkin soup ₩8,000
• Cola ₩2,500

Ordering is done via kiosk.

Fork and knife all set~

I wondered if it might not be quite enough, but once the dishes started arriving one by one, it turned out to be just the right amount for two.

Sweet pumpkin soup (₩8,000)

A warm soup made from fresh sweet pumpkin~ The soup itself is smooth, so it pairs well with the gnocchi too.

As a starter, it's better enjoyed a spoonful at a time between other bites rather than all at once haha (personally I found it tastier once it cooled a bit).

Napa cabbage Caesar salad (₩16,000)

The distinctive crunch of napa cabbage is still there, making it a perfect match with the creamy dishes! When you think 'salad,' you usually picture leafy greens, but using napa cabbage gives it a bit of a different feel! Personally, I loved it~ Eating it alongside the soft gnocchi and pumpkin soup made my mouth feel refreshingly clean~

Snip, cut into easy-to-eat pieces!

There's something satisfying about them cutting it with scissors haha.

The crisp, subtly sweet napa cabbage combined with the nutty, salty Caesar dressing feels fresh and easy to enjoy without being heavy! (In short: nutty, salty, and fresh.)

Truffle mushroom cream gnocchi (₩22,000)

I usually love gnocchi, so this was the dish I was most looking forward to! It's packed with mushrooms, and the gnocchi's soft texture is great.

Chewy yet soft texture, with the cream sauce adding a nutty richness.

The mushrooms bring their own aroma and texture, which paired really well with the gnocchi!

How to order if you're in a bigger group

With such a wide variety of menu items, it's tempting to want more than just one. If you're visiting with a group, it'd be nice to each pick a pasta, pizza, salad, and pilaf, then share them all together. Ordering this way means less agonizing over the menu, and you get to try a little of everything — total win haha. If you're going with several people, I'd recommend ordering multiple dishes and enjoying a big spread.

For the restroom, leave the restaurant and head into Gate 3 across the way.

The staff were kind and the atmosphere was relaxed, so it was a pleasant meal~ If I come back, I'd like to try other dishes, especially the pasta or pizza haha. It doesn't feel overly formal, so it's easy to eat here comfortably — I'd recommend it for a date, family meal, or gathering with friends!
