Octopus potato and shrimp bisque risotto at Osteria Eden, Apgujeong

Has anyone been to Cheongdam Schedule? I used to go there all the time with friends in my mid-twenties. But I heard Schedule launched a new brand, so I decided to check it out this time -

Schedule has always been satisfying in both mood and taste, so I was really curious what kind of feeling Osteria Eden would have!!

The exterior and interior atmosphere

Osteria Eden is in the same building as Cheongdam Schedule! Just take the elevator up.

The elegance and European mood hit you from the entrance •• ♡ There's no way girls wouldn't love this kind of vibe!

The interior felt full of plants, with an aura like stepping into a European fairy tale -

The terrace seating in particular was really beautiful, and with the weather getting cooler these days, I thought it would be great to visit in the daytime and have brunch on the terrace 🤍

You could tell a lot of care went into every corner of the space, and wherever you sat, you could feel the same elegant, comfortable atmosphere ➰🪄

The menu board and what we ordered

True to its reputation as a Cheongdam brunch date spot, Osteria Eden has an upscale brunch menu, fresh pasta, plus steaks and desserts galore!

I ordered the octopus potato (₩26,000), truffle cheese wheel tagliatelle (₩36,000), and spicy shrimp bisque risotto (₩38,000)!

From the pre-meal bread to the risotto, dish by dish

The pre-meal bread came out first.

I dipped the warm, well-baked bread into fragrant olive oil sprinkled with salt.

The bread was crispy outside, chewy inside, and warm — exactly the thing to whet your appetite 〰️

Octopus potato

The octopus potato came out first. Isn't that red, orange, and green color combo just beautiful!! ✨

I believe you taste food with your eyes before your mouth, and every dish at Osteria Eden looked so good that there was real fun in tasting it visually first.

Eating the plump octopus with the orange and potato together, the saltiness of the seafood, the fluffy potato, and the sweetness of the orange balanced each other out perfectly, so the overall balance was excellent ♡ A huge success right from the first dish!! 🩵🩵🩵

Truffle cheese wheel tagliatelle

The second dish was the truffle cheese wheel tagliatelle. This pasta comes with a fun bit of performance.

The staff pulled out a huge fresh truffle from a box and shaved it right in front of us onto the pasta — it made everyone cheer, and it was really fun to watch 〰️🤍

Such a gorgeous look •• Plus the noodles are fresh-made, so they're thick with a great bite!

Twirling the noodles well-coated in sauce together with the fresh truffle, the aroma of truffle, the savoriness and umami of the sauce, and the thickness of the fresh pasta filled my mouth in the happiest way 👏👏 I really love this kind of rich, creamy pasta — I'd come back just for this dish alone!

Spicy shrimp bisque risotto

Lastly came the spicy shrimp bisque risotto. It was piled high with plump shrimp, and the risotto was cooked to just the right texture, still with some bite — delicious -

Also, despite the name 'spicy,' it wasn't too hot — just mildly spicy — so I'd recommend it even for people who can't handle spicy food well!

Osteria Eden: overall verdict

• A go-to spot for Cheongdam brunch dates
• Carefully prepared, beautiful dishes made with premium ingredients
• A space that feels like a European café transplanted whole
• A place I'd also recommend for blind dates or wedding invitation gatherings
• Somewhere you can make memories with both delicious food and a beautiful atmosphere

Thanks to Osteria Eden, my eyes and mouth were both happy - I'd definitely revisit, like 5910171 times over!
