Having missed lunch, I skipped the bread at Barirus and ordered the pastry-dough jambon-beurre pizza with an iced americano and a lemonade. Not tasting the bread was a shame, but the pizza was well balanced enough to make the late-night drive to Barirus worth it. ## Good to know - **Location**: 2nd floor, 245 Bongseosan-ro, Paju-eup, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do - **Late-night hours**: Open until 2am on Friday, Saturday and Sunday - **Size**: 1,200 pyeong; glamping area in the outdoor space on the 2nd floor - **What I ordered**: Jambon-beurre pizza, iced americano, lemonade - **Recommended dining**: BBQ Family Platter (3-4 people), BBQ Couple Platter (1-2 people) - **Nearby attractions**: Paju Premium Outlets, Imjingak, Peace Nuri Park, Byeokcho Arboretum *as written by the visitor on Sep 14, 2026* ## What kind of café is Barirus? A huge bakery café inside a remodelled factory Barirus is a huge bakery café in Paju — a really unusual one, converted from a big factory. When I arrived at Barirus, it genuinely felt strange, like I couldn't tell if this was a factory or a café. But the inside was completely remodeled, sparkling new, and great for spending time in. Barirus is open until 2am on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, so it'd be perfect as a late-night drive café near Seoul and Gyeonggi for couples wanting a late date. ^^ Barirus in Paju is a massive café where you can enjoy brunch, dining, and handmade bakery goods baked fresh daily. It's close to Paju Premium Outlets, Imjingak, Peace Nuri Park, and Byeokcho Arboretum, so it's a good place to know for a rest stop when traveling in Paju. ![Exterior of Barirus, a large bakery café on Bongseosan-ro in Paju](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-barilus-late-night-jambon-beurre-pizza/paju-barilus-late-night-jambon-beurre-pizza-01-13bd7-900.webp) ## Media art at the 2nd-floor entrance and the glamping area You head up to the 2nd floor at Barirus, and along the stairs I noticed it's appeared on TV a lot. SBS M's 'Naneun Meokbangreo' episode 4-2 'Meokbenjers' featured Barirus as a huge Paju brunch bakery café; 'Oneul Alba Returns' had Hong Yoon-hwa working a shift at the massive bakery café; there's a 1,200-pyeong scale café and a glamping site covered in lush lawn. Even the meokbang authority Hiba visited. When I got to the entrance of Barirus, I found some really cool media art. It's the best photo spot at Barirus. The glamping area is out on the 2nd floor exterior space. I saw families playing there with their kids. Barirus is huge, so it's a great place to spend time on a weekend trip nearby. ![The spacious 1,200-pyeong interior of Barirus café](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-barilus-late-night-jambon-beurre-pizza/paju-barilus-late-night-jambon-beurre-pizza-02-1ppso-1200.webp) The café has a relaxed atmosphere overall, and there are cute little props scattered around, which I liked. If you go up a little further on the stairs, there's even an art exhibition space. ## What bread does Barirus bake? Inside the handmade bakery display Barirus is a large bakery café with so many kinds of bread it's fun just picking. As a handmade bakery café, it's known for croissants using AOP butter, and they make their handmade cream in-house.

Jambon-beurre pizza and BBQ platters Besides bread, Barirus also serves meals — the jambon-beurre pizza was delicious. The brunch and dining items Barirus recommends, praised by meokbang creators Hiba, Ami Ami, and Cheon Ddung-i, are the BBQ Family Platter (3-4 people) and BBQ Couple Platter (1-2 people), which are the tastiest. ![Brunch and dining menu board at Barirus](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-barilus-late-night-jambon-beurre-pizza/paju-barilus-late-night-jambon-beurre-pizza-15-mzoq9-900.webp) Drinks range from basic coffee to signature drinks, smoothies, and various ades. ![Coffee and signature drink menu at Barirus](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-barilus-late-night-jambon-beurre-pizza/paju-barilus-late-night-jambon-beurre-pizza-16-1i3wx-900.webp) ![Smoothie and ade menu board at Barirus](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-barilus-late-night-jambon-beurre-pizza/paju-barilus-late-night-jambon-beurre-pizza-17-1gtxo-900.webp) ![Drink order counter at Barirus](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-barilus-late-night-jambon-beurre-pizza/paju-barilus-late-night-jambon-beurre-pizza-18-16ld8-900.webp) We ordered a basic iced americano and a lemonade.

The pizza dough was pastry dough — this is a bakery café using high-quality dough. ![Jambon-beurre pizza made with pastry dough at Barirus](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-barilus-late-night-jambon-beurre-pizza/paju-barilus-late-night-jambon-beurre-pizza-21-1o9ig-900.webp) The jambon-beurre pizza had good balance overall. The dishes come out looking unassuming, but they're delicious. The cheese was soft too, with a nice aroma. ![A slice removed from the jambon-beurre pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-barilus-late-night-jambon-beurre-pizza/paju-barilus-late-night-jambon-beurre-pizza-22-1psad-900.webp) ![Cross-section of the jambon-beurre pizza with stretchy cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-barilus-late-night-jambon-beurre-pizza/paju-barilus-late-night-jambon-beurre-pizza-23-sknhd-900.webp) ![Jambon-beurre pizza served together with drinks on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-barilus-late-night-jambon-beurre-pizza/paju-barilus-late-night-jambon-beurre-pizza-24-5kouw-900.webp) ## What was disappointing at Barirus, and my overall verdict I'd originally planned to eat bread at Barirus, but I missed lunchtime and ended up eating pizza instead. It was a bit of a shame not to try the bread, but I was happy eating the delicious jambon-beurre pizza. It was even better paired with the drinks we ordered. Since Barirus is such a huge café, it was fun just looking around here and there. It's also a good spot to bring a laptop and plan out a trip. Have a fun weekend trip to Paju with Barirus. ^^ ## Where it is - Barirus (바리루스) - 245 Bongseosan-ro, Paju-eup, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, 2nd floor - 경기도 파주시 파주읍 봉서산로 245 2층 - 37.833184, 126.8035229 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B0%94%EB%A6%AC%EB%A3%A8%EC%8A%A4/@37.833184,126.8035229,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@hot-plate-seoul/paju-barilus-late-night-jambon-beurre-pizza/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
