Apgujeong couple's date restaurant, oil and cream pasta: Awesome Rose

Whenever we go on a date in Apgujeong, my husband and I like to look for a restaurant with a good atmosphere. Awesome Rose's Garosu-gil branch, which we visited this time, won us over with both the mood and the food. We found ourselves saying, "Let's come back here next time," without even thinking about it, so I wanted to introduce it to you.

Parking at Awesome Rose Garosu-gil? Valet, ₩4,000 for 2 hours

Awesome Rose's Garosu-gil branch offers valet parking, and it cost ₩4,000 for 2 hours. We came by car, and the valet made things easy. For eating out in Apgujeong, it felt like a reasonable price.

Awesome Rose's atmosphere, perfect for an Apgujeong date

An Apgujeong restaurant with an atmosphere we loved too

The moment we walked into Awesome Rose's Garosu-gil branch, the soft lighting made the mood really nice. It felt relaxed rather than noisy, so I think it would suit couples on a date or a get-together with friends. The staff were also friendly, so we could spend the whole meal comfortably.

From high chairs and blankets to an after-meal photo booth and rose

Awesome Rose had things like high chairs and blankets prepared in advance, and after the meal they gave us a photo booth and a rose, which made it feel like a place that cares about small details. Little touches like these sent us off in a good mood.

What did we order at Awesome Rose?

Everything we ordered was satisfying

That day my husband and I ordered the mushroom soup, Rose Aglio e Olio, White Rose Pasta and tomato quesadilla. I figured "maybe one of them will be a little disappointing," but honestly, not a single dish failed.

Mushroom soup: rich mushroom aroma, a light starter

The mushroom soup that came as a starter was satisfying too. It had a rich mushroom aroma without being too heavy, and the smooth texture naturally whetted our appetite. It was perfect to eat while waiting for the mains.

Rose Aglio e Olio: the signature oil pasta that isn't greasy

Rose Aglio e Olio is Awesome Rose's signature popular dish, so it was one of the things I personally looked forward to most. Maybe thanks to the clean taste of oil pasta and the gentle spiciness of peperoncino, it wasn't greasy and I kept reaching for more. The garlic aroma was just right, so it was easy to eat, and the noodles were cooked perfectly! If you usually like oil pasta, I think you'll be happy with it.

White Rose Pasta: a moderately thick cream pasta

The White Rose Pasta was really good too. The cream wasn't too heavy and had a moderately thick style, so I could enjoy it to the end. The sauce soaked into the noodles well, so I could taste the flavor with every bite, and with the first bite I suddenly remembered the cream pasta I used to eat with friends in my school days. It has a different charm from the Rose Aglio e Olio, so I was glad we ordered both!

Awesome Tomato Quesadilla: surprisingly the most memorable dish

Surprisingly, the most memorable dish was the Awesome Tomato Quesadilla. The freshness of the tomato and the savoriness of the cheese went well together, and since it was crispy outside and moist inside, it paired really well with the pasta. The combination of dishes was good, so I'd order it again next time. We ordered cola as our drink, and the whole combination worked well, making it a satisfying meal.

Why I recommend Awesome Rose as an Apgujeong date restaurant
