Sadang–Isu brunch restaurant: pistachio jambon-beurre at Dooblock Isu

If you've been hunting for a brunch café near Isu Station or Sadang Station, I recommend the Western restaurant Dooblock Isu (듀블럭 이수역점). It's one of the nicest-feeling Western restaurants in the Sadang and Isu area, and a popular spot for Sadang-area cheongmo (청모, wedding invitation get-togethers) and blind dates. The service was great and the food was fantastic too, so let me start my Dooblock review!

Doesn't the interior look like one of those nice-vibe Western restaurants you'd find in Seongsu or Hannam? Actually, it has that Seongsu-Hannam feel plus Dooblock's own personality, so it's an upgraded brunch café near Sadang Station.

What did I order for brunch at Dooblock?

For brunch at Dooblock Isu I ordered a pasta (the steak cream pasta) and a bakery item (the pistachio jambon-beurre sandwich). The food came out quickly, which I liked, and I strongly recommend both!

Steak cream pasta: a popular dish topped with 150g of beef skirt

Dooblock's steak cream pasta is one of its most popular dishes, a cream pasta topped with 150g of premium-grade beef skirt.

Look how gorgeous it is. If you love cream pasta, you absolutely have to try it. It's thick and rich, and honestly so delicious!

The steak came medium, tender and melting in the mouth. The portion is surprisingly big, so the pasta alone filled me up and I ended up taking the bakery item to go...

You can adjust the spice level in 3 steps. I ordered level 2, and it was just the right amount of spicy, so I enjoyed it a lot.

Pistachio jambon-beurre sandwich: not-too-sweet pistachio with jambon

As the name says, Dooblock's pistachio jambon-beurre sandwich is a baguette sandwich with jambon (French-style ham) and pistachio spread as its stars.

Jambon and pistachio together? I love both, so I couldn't resist ordering it.

If you came looking for a brunch café near Isu Station, I wholeheartedly recommend the pistachio jambon-beurre sandwich. The combination of pistachio, butter and jambon is great, and the baguette was moist and tasty. The pistachio isn't too sweet, so it went down easily, haha.

Who would I recommend Dooblock Isu to?

For anyone looking for a brunch café near Sadang or Isu Station, or a spot for a cheongmo, blind date or date in Sadang and Isu, I recommend Dooblock Isu with all my heart!
