Inside Vivid13: a room full of small decorative touches

Stepping inside Vivid13 Gwangalli Main Branch gives a completely different feel from the exterior. Warm lighting, wood-toned tables, and little decorative objects scattered everywhere made it fun just to look around.

One corner in particular was decorated with a real variety of dolls, flowers, and character figurines, giving off a really cute vibe.

There were also colorful, pop-art-style tiles on the wall, which made for good photos. The window seats look out onto Gwangnam-ro through a big window, so sunlight came in nicely during the day.

Vivid Brunch, today's soup, strawberry & berry ade

What comes on the Vivid Brunch platter?

The Vivid Brunch came out packed with a real variety on one plate. Bread, sausage, bacon, salad, scrambled eggs, and even a carrot latte — I liked getting to taste a little of everything.

I tried a bite with bread topped with soft scrambled eggs, mushrooms, and carrots. There was fun in combining various ingredients with the plain bread, and each ingredient's flavor came together naturally and tasted great.

Each item had a different flavor, so I got to taste sweet, salty, and refreshing notes all around, and between mixing and matching, the plate emptied fast. This seems like it'd suit anyone who wants to try several dishes at once.

Today's soup at Vivid13: cream of mushroom

And today's soup was genuinely delicious. That day it was cream of mushroom soup — rich mushroom flavor, creamy and smooth, and I kept going back for more.

Warm and smooth, it was great for warming up your stomach. The croutons on top added a crunchy texture that went really well with the soft soup.

The strawberry & berry ade had a subtle strawberry-and-berry flavor and was nicely refreshing. It wasn't too heavy to drink alongside the brunch, so it was easy to enjoy cleanly.

Is Vivid13 a good light lunch in Gwangalli?

I came for a simple lunch, and the menu turned out to be more substantial than expected, so I left having had a satisfying meal. The Vivid Brunch was great for tasting several things at once, and today's soup — warm, smooth, and topped with crunchy croutons — was especially delicious.
