Gangnam date restaurant with truffle ragu pasta: The Mignon Seoul
The Mignon Seoul is a Western restaurant in Gangnam, Seoul, a 5-minute walk from Exit 6 of Sinnonhyeon Station, with three floors including a rooftop and brunch and pasta served at any hour. Over dinner with a friend, the writer sat in the reserved second-floor seating and ordered truffle white ragu pasta, popover pancake and lychee omija ade, all of which arrived within 20 minutes. Most surrounding tables were blind dates or engagement-party gatherings, so The Mignon Seoul is an easy pick when the mood matters.
