On a sunny weekday the writer came for a lunch date with her husband and ordered the chuck flap steak platter (37,000 won) with added garlic butter rice, classic carbonara, mushroom soup with baguette and a grapefruit ade. The steak served with Maldon salt and butter galbi sauce and the house-simmered mushroom soup stood out, making Nonchalant Lounge a better choice for a proper sit-down date than a coffee-only brunch café. ## Good to know - **Address**: 896 Jeongjo-ro, 1st floor, Paldal-gu, Suwon, Gyeonggi - **Hours**: 11:00–22:00 (break 15:00–17:00; no break Sat–Sun) - **Closed**: Every Monday - **Reservations**: Available through Naver Reservation - **Parking**: Hwahongmun and Jangan-dong public parking lots; the closest is the NH Nonghyup Bank Suwon Bukmun branch lot (on the pricey side).

There are so many cafés and great restaurants in Haenggung-dong, but today I was looking for a spot with good atmosphere where I could also have a proper meal with steak and pasta, and that's how I ended up at Nonchalant Lounge. It's good for brunch and lunch during the day, and you can have a glass of wine in the evening too — the atmosphere is calm and pretty, so it fit well as a Haenggung-dong date spot. > 896 Jeongjo-ro, Paldal-gu, Suwon, Gyeonggi, South Korea, 1st floor > Hours 11:00 ~ 22:00 > Break 15:00 ~ 17:00 > No break Sat/Sun > Closed every Monday > 🗓 Naver reservation available ### Where Nonchalant Lounge is and where to park It's about a 3-minute walk from Janganmun Gate, and about 7 minutes from Banghwasuryujeong Pavilion. ![Exterior view of Nonchalant Lounge near Janganmun Gate](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonchalant-lounge-haenggung-lunch-steak/nonchalant-lounge-haenggung-lunch-steak-04-1csby-966.webp) For parking, you can use the Hwahongmun public lot or the Jangan-dong public lot. The closest lot is at the NH Nonghyup Bank Suwon Bukmun branch, but the rate is a bit pricey. Nonchalant Lounge gives about ₩2,000 worth of parking support with a Naver reservation on weekdays Tuesday through Friday. The sleek sign really catches your eye. ![Sleek sign of Nonchalant Lounge](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonchalant-lounge-haenggung-lunch-steak/nonchalant-lounge-haenggung-lunch-steak-05-1q4e5-966.webp) ## Inside Nonchalant Lounge: daytime mood and seating On such a nice day the doors and windows were open, and the atmosphere was pouring out even from a glimpse inside. Wow, the moment I walked in, the interior had such a cozy feeling — I loved it immediately. There are several tables, and each one has a totally different mood and feel. ![Tables at Nonchalant Lounge each with a different atmosphere](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonchalant-lounge-haenggung-lunch-steak/nonchalant-lounge-haenggung-lunch-steak-06-1niqc-966.webp) Seriously, I'm already in a good mood and I haven't even eaten yet. ![Cozy interior design of Nonchalant Lounge](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonchalant-lounge-haenggung-lunch-steak/nonchalant-lounge-haenggung-lunch-steak-07-plj6p-966.webp) It's the kind of atmosphere where you'd fall in love with your partner all over again haha. Just sitting there feels healing. The open kitchen has such a nice touch too. They told us to sit wherever we liked, but it was hard to choose a seat. We picked a back seat where a gentle breeze was coming in. ![Back table seat with a breeze coming in](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonchalant-lounge-haenggung-lunch-steak/nonchalant-lounge-haenggung-lunch-steak-08-1sza2-966.webp) ## Nonchalant Lounge menu, prices and QR ordering At Nonchalant Lounge you order by scanning a QR code with your phone.

Ah, the table really came together beautifully. I was already charmed by the gorgeous interior, and then the food arrives and my heart skips another beat. ## Chuck flap steak platter with garlic butter rice, 37,000 won ![Chuck flap steak platter plated with garnishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonchalant-lounge-haenggung-lunch-steak/nonchalant-lounge-haenggung-lunch-steak-10-1q9u0-966.webp) The chuck flap steak platter is plated so beautifully. It comes with tomato, grilled mushroom, and asparagus as garnish, plus Maldon salt, butter galbi sauce, and whole grain mustard. It came out at about medium rare, with a moist pink center left inside — exactly how I like it. The doneness is fixed based on the meat's condition that day, so you can't request it. ![Cross-section of a medium-rare chuck flap steak](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonchalant-lounge-haenggung-lunch-steak/nonchalant-lounge-haenggung-lunch-steak-11-b0wcg-966.webp) The meat is tender and delicious. ![Maldon salt served with the steak](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonchalant-lounge-haenggung-lunch-steak/nonchalant-lounge-haenggung-lunch-steak-12-1urv6-966.webp) Why is the salt so pretty, like little crystals? Even just a light sprinkle of Maldon salt gives off a subtle smoky aroma that I really liked. The butter galbi sauce? It had a distinctive taste, different from the usual steak sauces — kind of like a hint of Indian curry, honestly unique, but delicious. ![Chuck flap steak with butter galbi sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonchalant-lounge-haenggung-lunch-steak/nonchalant-lounge-haenggung-lunch-steak-13-1my9d-966.webp) With the whole grain mustard on the side too. ![A bite of steak topped with whole grain mustard](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonchalant-lounge-haenggung-lunch-steak/nonchalant-lounge-haenggung-lunch-steak-14-1pi1d-966.webp) Eating it with the garnishes makes the flavor even richer. ![Plate with tomato and asparagus garnish](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonchalant-lounge-haenggung-lunch-steak/nonchalant-lounge-haenggung-lunch-steak-15-17dbd-966.webp) I'd really recommend adding the garlic butter rice. ![Added garlic butter rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonchalant-lounge-haenggung-lunch-steak/nonchalant-lounge-haenggung-lunch-steak-16-uljx0-966.webp) This is seriously a perfect match with the steak. It's like a fluffier, less sticky rice, and that's exactly why it works so well. ## Classic carbonara, 15,000 won ![A plate of Nonchalant Lounge's classic carbonara](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonchalant-lounge-haenggung-lunch-steak/nonchalant-lounge-haenggung-lunch-steak-17-e5n1h-966.webp) Nonchalant Lounge's Classic Carbonara (₩15,000) isn't a pasta swimming in sauce — it's the thick style where the sauce clings tightly to the noodles. ![Carbonara topped with parmesan cheese and whole black pepper](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonchalant-lounge-haenggung-lunch-steak/nonchalant-lounge-haenggung-lunch-steak-18-rnhkb-966.webp) Parmesan cheese is piled on top like snow, with chunks of bacon and whole black peppercorns visible. Unlike regular carbonara, classic carbonara doesn't use cream — it's the authentic Roman-style pasta made with egg yolk. Not many places serve this, so it's a dish I'd been missing. ![Thick sauce coating the carbonara noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonchalant-lounge-haenggung-lunch-steak/nonchalant-lounge-haenggung-lunch-steak-19-1jmmx-966.webp) The sauce is really thick. Loaded with bacon too. Thick, but the sauce coats the noodles smoothly. The bacon is salty and the sauce is quite rich, so overall it's a pretty heavy, weighty flavor. It was a touch salty for my taste. Rather than eating carbonara straight through, it worked better alternating bites with the steak or other dishes. The house pickles were a real lifesaver here. So good. ## Mushroom soup with baguette, 8,000 won ![Mushroom soup with baguette table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonchalant-lounge-haenggung-lunch-steak/nonchalant-lounge-haenggung-lunch-steak-20-ran7w-966.webp) I ordered this because I already love soup. ![Richly simmered mushroom soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonchalant-lounge-haenggung-lunch-steak/nonchalant-lounge-haenggung-lunch-steak-21-709kh-966.webp) Apparently they simmer it fresh every morning — this is seriously a must-order. Wow, I'm impressed. ![Close-up of minced mushroom on top of the soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonchalant-lounge-haenggung-lunch-steak/nonchalant-lounge-haenggung-lunch-steak-22-ozpsd-966.webp) The minced mushroom in the center really amplifies the soup's flavor. It's ridiculously thick and rich. Every mushroom soup I've had before this was fake!! Truly deep mushroom flavor. It's so deep and rich that I kept reaching for more, and we ran out of baguette. Dipping the steak in it was also insanely good. ![A glass of colorful grapefruit ade](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonchalant-lounge-haenggung-lunch-steak/nonchalant-lounge-haenggung-lunch-steak-23-160i4-966.webp) No cola with a meal this good. The grapefruit ade, such a pretty color, was refreshing to sip alongside. Very good. ## Is Nonchalant Lounge worth a lunch date in Haenggung-dong? ![Table set for a lunch date at Nonchalant Lounge](https://img.superchart.com/images/nonchalant-lounge-haenggung-lunch-steak/nonchalant-lounge-haenggung-lunch-steak-24-clrfl-966.webp) Nonchalant Lounge was better for a proper meal date with steak and pasta than a brunch café where you just grab coffee. The atmosphere was great even during the day, so my husband and I got to eat slowly, chat about how everything tasted, and just enjoy ourselves. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for brunch in Haenggung-dong, Suwon, or wanting a nice drink and atmosphere in the evening. ## Where it is - Nonchalant Lounge (논샬랑라운지) - 896 Jeongjo-ro, Paldal-gu, Suwon, Gyeonggi, South Korea, 1st floor - 경기도 수원시 팔달구 정조로 896 1층 - 37.2879341, 127.0149974 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%85%BC%EC%83%AC%EB%9E%91%EB%9D%BC%EC%9A%B4%EC%A7%80/@37.2879341,127.0149974,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@quiet-dining-room/nonchalant-lounge-haenggung-lunch-steak/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
