Gwangalli brunch café for Egg in Hell and gelato: Famous Benny

A Gwangalli brunch table full of food with friends

My friends and I wanted a relaxed brunch in Gwangalli, so we visited Famous Benny Gwangalli Branch. From salad and Egg in Hell to avocado toast and the signature brunch—we filled the table and it really felt like we were doing brunch properly, haha.

The food was beautifully plated and the atmosphere was so relaxing, making it a lovely spot for a Gwangalli date or a get-together with friends :) A brunch café I found in Gwangalli ♡

A warm, relaxed space in Millak-dong

Famous Benny Gwangalli Branch is a brunch café in Millak-dong~ The building exterior had such a stylish feel that it caught my eye before I even went in. Inside, warm wood-tone furniture and lush green plants come together beautifully.

With natural light streaming through the windows too, the atmosphere was so nice from the morning on~ It felt like a great place to chat comfortably with friends and take your time over a meal, so I think it would also suit an indoor date in Gwangalli, haha.

The brunch dishes we ordered

Here’s what we ordered~! Since I visited with friends this time, we tried a variety of brunch dishes.

• House Salad ₩12,000
• Egg in Hell (shakshuka) ₩15,000
• Avocado Toast ₩16,000
• The Famous Benny ₩18,000

For drinks, we also ordered an Americano, café mocha, and blueberry ade~ After the meal, we had mango coconut gelato, vanilla crumble gelato, and yogranola gelato too~! We properly enjoyed everything from brunch and coffee to dessert, haha ♡

What was the House Salad like?

House Salad ₩12,000. We started with the House Salad, which made the table feel so fresh~ Green vegetables, tomatoes, and all sorts of colorful ingredients were piled on the plate, topped with a large piece of cheese in the center. It looked so pretty :)

The crisp vegetables were delicious with the soft, nutty cheese, and there were nuts to bite into here and there too, so it had lots of different textures~ It was also great to have alongside the other brunch dishes.

Hot Egg in Hell with bread

Egg in Hell ₩15,000. We also ordered the Egg in Hell, which was lovely served hot~ Also called shakshuka, it lets you enjoy eggs in a tomato base, so it was perfect for brunch :) It was even more filling with the bread on the side~ It was also great for a group to put in the middle of the table and share bite by bite, haha.

Avocado toast and the signature brunch

Avocado Toast ₩16,000. We couldn’t leave out avocado toast when having brunch~! The nutty avocado and bread made such a good combination in one bite. Set beside the other dishes, it made the table look even prettier, and eating it with a cup of coffee gave us that wonderfully leisurely brunch mood ♡

The Famous Benny ₩18,000. We also tried The Famous Benny, named after the café~ It came generously loaded with a variety of ingredients on one plate, a proper brunch dish that let us enjoy a little of everything :)

Sharing each dish with friends was so fun because every menu item had different flavors and components~ haha. And you can’t have brunch without drinks~ We ordered Americanos, café mochas, and a refreshing blueberry ade according to everyone’s preference.

The blueberry ade in particular was so pretty, starting with its purple color 💜 It came refreshingly cold and full of ice, with blueberries in it too, so it was a nice fresh pairing with brunch~

Finishing with gelato, chosen by each of us

We finished with gelato too ♡ It would have been a shame to end after brunch, so we made sure to have gelato as well, haha. From mango coconut and vanilla crumble to yogranola—we each picked the flavor we wanted and ended on a sweet note :)

It was so convenient and nice to enjoy dessert right where we had eaten~ We had delicious brunch, chatted away with friends, and then had coffee and gelato too—it was such a genuinely leisurely time, haha.

From the salad and Egg in Hell to avocado toast and The Famous Benny, it was fun ordering several dishes and sharing them all~ The food was beautifully plated, and the space was great for photos, so it would be a nice brunch stop during a trip to Gwangalli ♡

If you’re looking for a good Gwangalli restaurant and a brunch café with a lovely atmosphere too, keep Famous Benny Gwangalli Branch in mind~! It was such a happy, relaxed time enjoying delicious food and brunch in Gwangalli with friends 💛
