What does Brivit Gangnam Station look like from outside?

Brivit Gangnam Station has a European-feel exterior with a deep pink sign, so you can't just walk past it! The sign catches your eye from far away, which made it easy to find as a meeting spot~

Even though it's right in the middle of Gangnam, it felt like a little restaurant in a European alley~ The entrance is so full of charm that I thought, "I have to take photos first!" 📸 No wonder it's such a popular Gangnam Station blind date spot, right? 😊

Is Brivit Gangnam Station spacious, and do you need a reservation?

The inside of Brivit Gangnam Station is much bigger than it looks from outside, with quite a lot of tables and comfortable spacing between seats. If you're going with 3 or more people, I recommend booking ahead!

From outside I assumed it would be a cozy little restaurant, but inside it was far bigger than I expected~ It didn't feel stuffy at all. I thought it would be good for two people and also fine for a get-together with friends. It's popular, so depending on the time, seats fill up fast.

The mood was quiet and clean, so it suits a date and of course a Gangnam Station blind date spot really well~

What's on the menu at Brivit Gangnam Station?

Brivit has a wide range of pastas and a surprising number of gnocchi dishes~ Everything looked delicious, so I agonized over the menu for ages 😂

(These are photos of the Brivit Gangnam Station menu.)

Here's what we ordered.

• 🥗 Greek yogurt & tomato salad
• 🌽 Scallion cream corn gnocchi
• 🐟 Salmon steak pasta

How does Brivit's Greek yogurt & tomato salad taste?

Brivit's Greek yogurt & tomato salad came out first, and the combo of sweet, fresh cherry tomatoes with Greek yogurt was great. How is a salad this good?

At first I thought, is the portion a bit small? But one bite changed my mind right away. The nuttiness of the yogurt balanced the tomatoes' freshness perfectly and I kept reaching for more! Even as a salad it had great depth of flavor, and it vanished before the mains arrived 😂

Brivit's signature scallion cream corn gnocchi: is it worth ordering?

The scallion cream corn gnocchi is Brivit's signature dish: chewy gnocchi with a rich cream sauce, corn and scallions. You really have to try this one!

The gnocchi is so chewy. It's soft outside and springy inside, so it's fun to chew~

The cream sauce was more nutty than heavy, and with the sweet corn and fragrant scallions I never got tired of it to the end. If you like cream pasta, you'll be really satisfied! One bite and I knew why it's the signature. I'd order it again next time too 💛

Is Brivit's best-selling salmon steak pasta spicy?

The salmon steak pasta is said to be Brivit's best-seller: the pasta is slightly spicy and topped with a thick piece of salmon. It looked so appetizing from the first glance!

The salmon was much thicker than I expected, golden outside and moist inside, with a really nice texture. The mildly spicy pasta went so well with the salmon~

It had none of that cream heaviness and stayed clean to the end, which made me want even more. A bite of salmon with the pasta is the best combo! There's a reason it's called the best-seller 😊
