## In short

MR Namyangju Main Branch is a brunch café in Hwado-eup, Namyangju, Gyeonggi, with the Bukhan River right out front. The writer visited on a weekend with her husband, shared a handmade burger and pasta, and looked around the plant-filled indoor and outdoor spaces as well as the stray-cat shelter set up in one corner outside. The view, the space and the food at MR were all satisfying, making it a place worth returning to.

Arrived at MR on a beautiful weekend ~

## Bukhan River view and parking at MR Namyangju Main Branch

MR Namyangju Main Branch is a café with the Bukhan River right in front. You can park in two spots — the front or the back of the building — so no need to worry about parking, just come on over.

The Bukhan River right in front 🤩 water and mountains, so healing. And the sky was gorgeous that day too :)

There was someone boating against the lush green mountains, and just watching made me feel refreshed. The good weather made the view even prettier ✨

We parked in front where the river is visible, and there's a staircase right there leading up to the building — climb up and poof ✨ there's MR

The lush green view reflected in the round mirror on the building 🌿 so pretty. Little touches like this make the building feel less plain and much nicer.

## What are the seats and interior like at MR?

Once you step inside MR, there are all kinds of seats to choose from. When the weather's nice there are outdoor tables too, so you can pick indoors or outdoors :)

There's even a space like a meeting room

Tastefully decorated space that feels like an art gallery ✨

I tucked myself into a seat all the way at the back. Something about it just felt cozy and stable haha. Once we settled in, I went to explore the café. If you go toward the very first entrance, there's another entrance in the middle too.

## Plants everywhere at MR — are they for sale?

MR really is full of plants, indoors and out. The owner seems like a real plant parent, so there's this lush, vibrant feeling.

Green outside, green inside 💚

Looks like they sell plants too, so if you're interested, it might be worth asking ><

Even the counter is full of plants, so full of character 👍🏻

## The stray-cat shelter in one corner outside MR

There's a spot outside MR set aside just for stray cats!

Sitting in this chair, soaking up the sun and watching the cats, would be healing in itself 🌿

![Outdoor chair perfect for watching the cats](https://img.superchart.com/images/mr-namyangju-riverside-brunch-cats/mr-namyangju-riverside-brunch-cats-14-mkbu1-900.webp)

Seeing the different cats — a cheese one, a tuxedo one — come by and rest comfortably and eat their food made me happy as a fellow cat person too 💕 the owner is amazing

The cat area is by the first entrance, and there's a big impressive door there

Even the garden-like space outside the building has tables nicely arranged, so on a nice day like this, sitting outside would really be lovely. Seats are scattered around well, so you can comfortably sit wherever you like.

There's a spot to grab utensils, forks, and small plates when the food comes out, and even a chair for a child to use!

![Self-service spot with utensils, small plates, and a baby chair](https://img.superchart.com/images/mr-namyangju-riverside-brunch-cats/mr-namyangju-riverside-brunch-cats-17-e07hk-900.webp)

Shot from this angle it has a nice feel too. The space itself is comfortable, decorated with cute little touches here and there so it never feels boring.

Even the hand dryer in the bathroom is a Dyson 👍🏻 and there are those expensive, famous figures too — it all feels as hip as the owner.

I sat facing out toward the outside, which was lovely ☺️ taking it all in while waiting

## Sharing MR's handmade burger and pasta between two

The pasta and burger we ordered at MR came out faster than expected ❣️

![MR's pasta and handmade burger set](https://img.superchart.com/images/mr-namyangju-riverside-brunch-cats/mr-namyangju-riverside-brunch-cats-19-qlind-900.webp)

So mouthwatering 💕

Looked great, tasted even better. The handmade burger honestly tasted almost like steak.

It all came out beautifully plated on one table, so I took a ton of photos haha

![Overhead view of MR's burger and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/mr-namyangju-riverside-brunch-cats/mr-namyangju-riverside-brunch-cats-22-1cx1s-900.webp)

True to being a well-known Namyangju brunch café, every single thing tasted great.

A burger like this deserves a regular spot in the rotation ><. It's a dog-friendly café, so there were guests who came with their dogs, plus families, friends, and couples of all kinds. I came with my husband 👫🏻

My husband took charge of the pasta and I took charge of the burger, and we shared, both agreeing everything was delicious — finished it all without leaving a single bite 😆

## MR's hours and whether the Namyangju café is worth a trip
