I tried porcini shrimp gnocchi, bacon cream pasta, mushroom soup, and Yorkshire pudding, each with its own texture or pairing to enjoy. Verdict: the crispy outside and chewy center of the gnocchi stood out most. ## Good to know - **Address**: 31 Gangnam-daero 102-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea (1F) - **Nearest station**: 333 m from Exit 6 of Sinnonhyeon Station - **Hours**: Daily 11:30–21:15 - **Last order**: 20:30 - **Amenities**: Group dining, takeout, delivery, reservations, Wi-Fi, and separate restrooms *as written by the visitor on Sep 13, 2026* ![Starting my visit to Brivit Gangnam Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-brivit-porcini-gnocchi/gangnam-brivit-porcini-gnocchi-01-1t43o-900.webp) ## Visiting Brivit, a popular Gangnam Station brunch spot ![Brivit, a popular brunch spot near Gangnam Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-brivit-porcini-gnocchi/gangnam-brivit-porcini-gnocchi-02-1fdhy-900.webp) I visited Brivit Gangnam Station (브리비트 강남역), a popular Gangnam Station brunch spot that is well known as a nice place for a pre-wedding gathering. ![Brivit Gangnam Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-brivit-porcini-gnocchi/gangnam-brivit-porcini-gnocchi-03-ggis8-1200.webp) Brivit Gangnam Station is on the first floor at 31 Gangnam-daero 102-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

It was busy again this day, but luckily there was a table, so I got in straight away without waiting. ![Ordering instructions at Brivit Gangnam Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-brivit-porcini-gnocchi/gangnam-brivit-porcini-gnocchi-08-1h0o5-900.webp) Choose your menu and ring the bell, and someone comes over to take your order. Just a note for my own records: the female staff member had such a pretty smile with her eyes... I dropped my fork and she brought me another one, and I was totally startled by how pretty she was when she handed it over. (Secretly, I deleted ten lines because I wrote way too much about how pretty she was.) ![The menu ordered at Brivit Gangnam Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-brivit-porcini-gnocchi/gangnam-brivit-porcini-gnocchi-09-jxfln-854.webp) ## The brunch dishes we ordered We ordered porcini shrimp gnocchi, bacon cream pasta, mushroom soup, and Yorkshire pudding. For drinks, we chose one Coca-Cola and one Pepsi Zero. ![Self-service bar with pickles and drinks](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-brivit-porcini-gnocchi/gangnam-brivit-porcini-gnocchi-10-esnjd-900.webp) The self-service bar has pickles, drinks, and napkins. Cola or Pepsi, whichever you prefer. ## Crispy and chewy porcini shrimp gnocchi The porcini shrimp gnocchi came out first. It is said to be 100% handmade gnocchi, with a crispy exterior and a chewy center. ![Handmade porcini shrimp gnocchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-brivit-porcini-gnocchi/gangnam-brivit-porcini-gnocchi-11-xowq3-900.webp) The texture was a little different from typical gnocchi from the start. It had a slightly fried-like crispness on the outside while staying chewy inside, making it quite unique among the gnocchi I have tried. ![Crispy and chewy gnocchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-brivit-porcini-gnocchi/gangnam-brivit-porcini-gnocchi-12-242gl-900.webp) The cream sauce with porcini mushrooms and shrimp worked well too, but above all, the gnocchi’s texture was what made this dish memorable. ![Gnocchi in porcini mushroom and shrimp cream sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-brivit-porcini-gnocchi/gangnam-brivit-porcini-gnocchi-13-ywwdw-900.webp) ![Cream sauce for porcini shrimp gnocchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-brivit-porcini-gnocchi/gangnam-brivit-porcini-gnocchi-14-qmjm8-900.webp) With porcini mushrooms and shrimp in the cream sauce, it was nutty and gently fragrant with mushrooms. ## Bacon cream pasta with vegetables as the secret touch Oh, this is good! This was the bacon cream pasta. It has bacon and flat iron steak in a mushroom-based cream sauce. ![Bacon and flat iron steak cream pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-brivit-porcini-gnocchi/gangnam-brivit-porcini-gnocchi-15-o7lrr-900.webp) The cream sauce was not too heavy, and the mushroom flavor added a lovely savory depth. With both bacon and flat iron steak in it, every bite tasted a little different. ![Bacon pasta in mushroom cream sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-brivit-porcini-gnocchi/gangnam-brivit-porcini-gnocchi-16-g7efu-900.webp) ![A plate of bacon cream pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-brivit-porcini-gnocchi/gangnam-brivit-porcini-gnocchi-17-7q1f6-900.webp) They topped it with finely chopped greens, something like green lettuce, and that was quietly the secret touch. ![Cream pasta topped with greens](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-brivit-porcini-gnocchi/gangnam-brivit-porcini-gnocchi-18-fp59q-900.webp) It added a fresh note now and then as I ate the cream pasta, so the combination was better than I expected. ![Mushroom soup and Yorkshire pudding](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-brivit-porcini-gnocchi/gangnam-brivit-porcini-gnocchi-19-1m9zo-900.webp) ![Creamy mushroom soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-brivit-porcini-gnocchi/gangnam-brivit-porcini-gnocchi-20-1xzne-900.webp) ## Mushroom soup and Yorkshire pudding together The mushroom soup, made with mushrooms and cream, was smooth with a rich mushroom flavor. It was packed with mushrooms, so the flavor was great. ![Mushroom soup with rich mushroom flavor](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-brivit-porcini-gnocchi/gangnam-brivit-porcini-gnocchi-21-11hij-900.webp) ![Hollow Yorkshire pudding](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-brivit-porcini-gnocchi/gangnam-brivit-porcini-gnocchi-22-1yyk2-900.webp) The Yorkshire pudding that came with it was interesting because it was hollow inside, a little like a puffed bread. You can eat it on its own, but I dipped mine into the soup. The smooth soup soaked slightly into the inside, and it actually paired really well this way. ![Yorkshire pudding dipped in soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-brivit-porcini-gnocchi/gangnam-brivit-porcini-gnocchi-23-1ieye-900.webp) Overall, the dishes were fun because each had its own point of interest in texture or pairing, rather than simply being familiar, safe flavors. The porcini shrimp gnocchi especially stayed with me for its fried-like exterior and chewy center. ![Finishing the meal at Brivit Gangnam Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-brivit-porcini-gnocchi/gangnam-brivit-porcini-gnocchi-24-16sz5-900.webp) I was even more curious because I had to turn away once because of the wait, so I was happy to have a relaxed meal this time. Brivit Gangnam Station was somewhere that made me want to try other dishes next time too. ## Where it is - Brivit Gangnam Station (브리비트 강남역) (브리비트 강남역) - 31 Gangnam-daero 102-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea (1F) - 서울특별시 강남구 강남대로102길 31 1층 - 37.5030789, 127.027776 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B8%8C%EB%A6%AC%EB%B9%84%ED%8A%B8%20%EA%B0%95%EB%82%A8%EC%97%AD/@37.5030789,127.027776,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@restaurant-doorways/gangnam-brivit-porcini-gnocchi/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
