Wood-toned Yeonnam-dong pasta restaurant, 2 mains + 1 side: Rangteu

Rangteu Yeonnam (랑트 연남) is a fusion pasta restaurant in an alley of Yeonnam-dong, Mapo, Seoul, close to Exit 3 of Hongik Univ. Station. Two diners shared Monterey gochujang cream gnocchi, beef brisket melchovy (anchovy) cream pasta and chili peanut menbosha (shrimp toast), and all three dishes worked well together, with warm lighting, wood-tone decor and a friendly owner adding to the meal. Rangteu Yeonnam is a solid Yeonnam-dong date pick for anyone who wants both atmosphere and well-made food.

Standard Square is a Songdo window café well suited to coffee and dessert on a nice day.
