What the Cuisine R dining room and seating are like

The inside of Cuisine R has everything from a spacious hall to quieter seats further in for a calmer meal. It felt like a good spot for a Yeouido office lunch during the day, and for a Yeouido dinner date, work dinner, group gathering, or anniversary in the evening :)

Since we'd reserved ahead, our table already had tableware and glasses neatly set. The whole place had a clean vibe, so this should be useful reference if you're looking for a good restaurant near Yeouido Station!

Bread and balsamic dip before the meal

After ordering, the pre-meal bread came out first! One piece per person, served with balsamic sauce and wet wipes :)

The bread was better than I expected, haha. It had a subtle butter flavor, soft and nutty, and it went really well dipped in the balsamic sauce!

What we ordered at Cuisine R and what it cost

Here's what we ordered at Cuisine R, a well-reviewed restaurant near Yeouido Station!

• Prosciutto e Rucola (28,000)
• Ragù Bolognese (25,000)
• Aglio Olio (22,000)

Prosciutto e rucola pizza, 28,000 won

The prosciutto e rucola pizza we ordered. It's Cuisine R's bestseller, so I was curious and ordered it. Topped with prosciutto, rucola, cherry tomatoes, and cheese, it looked hearty and just plain delicious right off the bat!

Taking a bite, the cheese stretched nicely and the crust was chewy-crisp — even better than I expected!

The prosciutto was salty with its own distinct flavor, and it paired well with the rucola. I thought the prosciutto might make it too salty, but the cherry tomatoes and rucola balanced it out nicely.

In between, we had a pickle to cleanse the palate—!

Aglio olio, 22,000 won

My favorite of everything we ate — the aglio olio! I generally like oil pasta anyway, so I had high expectations, and it ended up being my favorite dish among everything we ordered at this Yeouido Western-food spot.

Mixing the noodles and sauce evenly, the thick sauce clung right onto the noodles! Even though it's an oil pasta, the sauce didn't feel like it was just lightly scattered — it blended into the noodles beautifully, making it even tastier 🤤🤤

The garlic aroma plus the nutty oil flavor made it delicious, and if I come back to Cuisine R, I think I'd order this again, haha.

Ragù bolognese, 25,000 won

The ragù bolognese had rich ragù sauce topped with cheese and rucola, and it looked quite appetizing too. It seemed like a good pick for a Yeouido Western-food date, and since the sauce is on the richer side, it'd pair well with wine too.

I piled the ragù sauce onto the noodles and took a bite — the sauce was rich, so it tasted even better together with the pasta. There was a generous amount of meat and sauce, and it had a heavier flavor completely different from the aglio olio — good thing we ordered both!
