Sejong Italian restaurant 3-person set with hot pot gambas pasta: Le

Today I'm introducing Le Garden Bleu, a pasta restaurant in Eojin-dong, Sejong.

Parking is in the basement of KT&G Sejong Tower A

First, we parked in the underground parking lot at KT&G Sejong Tower A.

You can then walk straight to the building entrance and take the elevator! Ride the elevator up to the 1st floor dining area.

You also get to see this fountain along the way~!!

Le Garden Bleu is right next to the fountain too, so it wasn't hard to find. Their recommended menu items were posted outside — salmon steak garden, tomato stew pasta, fresh cream mille-feuille pastry pizza.

The entrance is on the left side, so we headed that way.

At this pasta spot in Eojin-dong, Sejong, an iced Americano is ₩4,200 for takeout. They also accept livelihood recovery vouchers and high oil price relief vouchers.

From group tables to seats for two — the atmosphere

Stepping inside, the interior was clean and neat in a wood-and-white tone.

There were group tables seating anywhere from 6 to 12 people,

and cozy tables for two where couples can enjoy the mood together.

The window seats had a nice vibe too, didn't they?!

Le Garden Bleu is a place to enjoy food with wine, so one wall was lined with wine glasses.

At Le Garden Bleu we insist on only good ingredients, and make only healthy, delicious food.

Just how varied is the menu?

Le Garden Bleu makes every sauce they use in-house, so you can taste a healthy flavor with no food additives at all, they say!

There's the "Garden" salad menu — healthy dishes packing flavor and nutrition onto one plate — plus meat set menus, the mille-feuille pizza set menu, and a summer special menu.

The risotto and pasta menu included cream risotto, seafood risotto, tomato stew pasta, gambas pasta, bolognese pasta, seafood cream pasta, vongole pasta, rigatoni pasta, pomodoro pasta, truffle pasta, chicken puttanesca pasta, tomato ragu sauce, and handmade potato gnocchi.

There were also appetizers and food that pairs well with wine, pastry-dough pizzas, and various types of steak — the menu was really varied.

What's in the ₩79,000 mille-feuille pizza set

We ordered the mille-feuille pizza set (₩79,000).

Mille-feuille pizza set: Caesar salad, pepperoni mushroom pizza, choice of pasta or risotto (pick one), and skirt steak. For the pasta, we chose the gambas pasta served in a hot pot.

The Caesar salad came out.

Made with fresh, healthy ingredients like cherry tomatoes, green grapes, cabbage, olives, crispy baguette, and corn, it paired well with the dressing and we enjoyed it a lot.

Next we each got a deep bowl along with cucumber and pepper pickles.

Gambas pasta in a hot pot

Pasta made with seafood broth, black tiger shrimp, arugula, pecorino cheese, and top-grade olive oil, served in a ttukbaegi (earthenware hot pot). I never expected it to actually come in a hot pot — the kind you see at gukbap (soup and rice) restaurants?! It felt really fresh. The advantage of the hot pot: I could eat it piping hot for a long time.

The noodles were cooked just right, and it was full of fresh seafood and olive oil aroma, which I loved.

Mille-feuille pepperoni mushroom pizza

Crispy pastry dough, pepperoni, truffle-scented fresh cream sauce, and Swiss gruyère cheese. The buttery dough was crispy and richly flavored.

Being a pastry-dough pizza, the crust was wonderfully crispy and delicious. The fresh cream sauce on top was tasty too!

Skirt steak with truffle cream potato gnocchi

Prime skirt steak (220g) with its flavor enhanced by truffle cream potato gnocchi on the side.

Underneath the steak came gnocchi and king oyster mushrooms soaked in cream — eating them together with the steak was just perfect! I don't usually like gnocchi much, but this one was chewy and delicious?

My friend swiftly sliced it up with a knife for me — thanks!

The steak came cooked to medium by default, which was just right, tender rather than tough, and delicious. It was seasoned well too.

If there are three of you, this is the set

If you're visiting with three people, I recommend the mille-feuille pizza set!

Le Garden Bleu accepts Kakao Pay.
