Garlic baguette served before the meal

House salad, 5,000 won

The house salad was a simple mix of cherry tomatoes, olives, and cheese — it paired well with every dish, so it was great to have alongside everything!

Half-and-half lasagna, 22,000 won: potato and classic

The half-and-half lasagna combines potato lasagna and classic lasagna on one plate for ₩22,000. You can order each separately too, but since it was my first visit to Etrenne Jukjeon Branch, I wanted to try both, so I went with the half-and-half. The potato lasagna had soft mashed potato and cheese inside, giving it a mild, clean flavor, while the classic lasagna had rich ragù and béchamel flavors coming through — really true to classic Italian rolled lasagna style. Trying both, I understood exactly why this place is known as the lasagna spot near Jukjeon Station haha. Being rolled lasagna made it easy to eat, and I loved getting to enjoy two flavors in one sitting!

Bisque shrimp pasta with garlic scapes, 17,000 won

The bisque shrimp with garlic scapes was one of Etrenne Jukjeon Branch's best pasta dishes — rich bisque sauce with garlic scapes added for texture made for a pasta with a distinctive flavor! The garlic scapes went especially well with it haha.

Beef cream risotto, 24,000 won

The beef cream risotto pairs umami-packed soy-sauce-stir-fried beef with creamy risotto, and since the soy sauce beef is a bit on the strong side, it actually balanced nicely with the creamy risotto haha. Feel free to mix them together to your taste!
