What got me excited was that they actually make their pasta with fresh dough, not dried noodles. ![Entrance of Plate Dunsan Branch on the 2nd floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat-02-4ula2-900.webp) ## Location and parking Plate Dunsan Branch is on the 2nd floor. Parking is one spot per table, with 2 hours free in the basement lot. - 34 Dunsan-ro 31beon-gil, Seo-gu, Daejeon, South Korea, 2nd floor - 11:00-21:30 ![Interior with natural light coming through the floor-to-ceiling window](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat-03-a9qda-900.webp) ## Atmosphere with floor-to-ceiling windows The huge window you see the moment you walk in sets such a great mood. Soft natural light pours in, and it honestly felt like a perfect spot for a date. The tables are clean and set up in a fairly upscale way. ![Neatly set table](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat-04-6wu0i-879.webp) ## What we ordered I started looking at the menu, and unfortunately the lobster shrimp bisque rosé pizza was sold out that day, so I ordered the fire-grilled chapsteak pizza instead. ![Menu board listing pasta and pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat-05-jl1k2-900.webp) We also ordered two of the good-value pasta sets, plus the chungyang vongole cream gnocchi and the creamy rosé pasta. ![Menu showing the pasta set composition](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat-06-1f9q6-868.webp) ### Choosing from 12 types of fresh noodles The noodles are fresh dough, and you can pick the type to suit your taste. With as many as 12 options, it was hard to decide, so I went with the recommended pick. ![Chart showing the 12 fresh noodle choices](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat-07-578zr-860.webp) ## Salad and bread that come with the pasta set Ordering the pasta set, the salad came out first. It had a good variety of vegetables and just the right amount of sauce, making it a nice appetizer. ![Vegetable salad served first as part of the set](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat-08-1fsrp-900.webp) The bread was warmed up quickly for us, so it was soft, and the soup itself was ![Soup served together with the bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat-09-q2w5u-900.webp) smooth enough to be the perfect thing to settle your stomach. ![A bowl of smooth soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat-10-cil6i-900.webp) The bread was delicious on its own and really soft. ![Warm bread served before the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat-11-esdly-900.webp) Spreading a bit of the whipped cream they gave us on top made it even better. ![Whipped cream served alongside the bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat-12-xjia6-900.webp) ## Squid ink vongole pasta Next came the vongole pasta made with squid ink noodles. It had not just clams but scallops on top too. The slightly spicy cheongyang peppers on top really cut through the richness of the pasta. ![Squid ink vongole pasta topped with clams and scallops](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat-13-19wqy-900.webp) Making the pasta dough with squid ink gave it a color that felt really distinctive. They twirled the freshly made pasta onto the plate, and it was still steaming, so it was lovely to eat warm. ![Squid ink vongole pasta twirled and plated](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat-14-2moq4-900.webp) ## Creamy rosé pasta Next is the creamy rosé pasta. I got recommended the slightly flat noodle, so I ordered that. The fresh pasta noodles are all quite different from each other, which made it visually interesting too. ![Creamy rosé pasta made with flat fresh noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat-15-1g7tc-900.webp) Twirling it up and taking a bite, the soft fresh pasta noodles were really delicious, ![Creamy rosé pasta noodles twirled onto a fork](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat-16-pk11l-900.webp) and the creamy sauce paired perfectly with it. It had a completely different flavor from the vongole, so between the two you get plenty of variety without getting tired of it. ![A bite of rosé pasta coated in cream sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat-17-4d3xl-900.webp) ## The chungyang cream gnocchi — my favorite Next is the chungyang cream gnocchi. You could see jalapeños on top along with seafood, and the crispy round gnocchi came with plenty of sauce too. The slightly spicy chungyang sauce really wrapped around the rich gnocchi, ![Chungyang cream gnocchi topped with seafood and jalapeño](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat-18-f67eh-900.webp) so I could eat it without any greasiness at all. Personally, I thought the chungyang gnocchi was the best dish of the whole meal. ![Round gnocchi with chungyang cream sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat-19-1qzvx-900.webp) ## Fire-grilled chapsteak pizza Next up is the fire-grilled chapsteak pizza. The dough itself didn't feel like an ordinary pizza dough. The cheese stretched beautifully just from looking at it, and with arugula and fresh tomatoes piled on top, I could tell right away this place knows how to make a good pizza. ![Fire-grilled chapsteak pizza topped with arugula and tomato](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat-20-6k0bz-900.webp) There were big chunks of chapsteak on top, and the combination with the fresh arugula and tangy tomatoes was really great. ![A slice of pizza topped with big chunks of chapsteak](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat-21-1bscw-900.webp) The chapsteak itself was cut into big chunks, and eating it piled on top of the pizza was amazing. ![Pizza eaten with chapsteak piled on top](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat-22-11o7h-900.webp) The very last section of the pizza had a cheese crust, ![Cheese-crust edge of the pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat-23-217dg-900.webp) and dipping it into the sauce they gave us made it even more delicious. ![A slice of pizza dipped in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat-24-1t1zm-900.webp) ## Who this place suits Plate Dunsan Branch is a great pasta spot in Daejeon — the fresh pasta made all the dishes taste good overall, and even the pizza kept its flavor right to the last bite. Above all, with that floor-to-ceiling window atmosphere, it's a perfect spot for a date, and I'd recommend it for a blind date or a family gathering too. ## Where it is - Plate Dunsan Branch (플레이트 둔산점) - 34 Dunsan-ro 31beon-gil, Seo-gu, Daejeon, South Korea, 2nd floor - 대전광역시 서구 둔산로31번길 34 2층 - 36.3532458, 127.3777818 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%94%8C%EB%A0%88%EC%9D%B4%ED%8A%B8%20%EB%91%94%EC%82%B0%EC%A0%90/@36.3532458,127.3777818,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@meal-by-meal-5/daejeon-dunsan-plate-gnocchi-window-seat/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
