Gangnam Station pasta date revisit, porcini shrimp gnocchi: Brivit

Brivit Gangnam Station: a date spot that still wins on a revisit

Brivit (브리비트, "bribeet") is a dining spot near Gangnam Station whose signature dishes are pasta and gnocchi. Looking for a pasta place for a date in Gangnam?! The food and the plating are totally my taste, so here it is. This is my Nth visit review. I came before for a wedding invitation meetup, and this time I came on a date and, of course, was satisfied again, hehe.

Address: 31 Gangnam-daero 102-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (1st floor) / Hours: daily 11:30–21:15 (last order 20:30)

Where is Brivit Gangnam, and what about weekend waits?

Brivit is in the café alley near Gangnam Station, and there may be a wait on weekends, so it's best to reserve or go early. Along the uphill road you'll spot one pretty sign, and that's Brivit. We went for a late weekend lunch and it was really crowded. It's a hot place :)

A little garden in the city: Brivit's atmosphere

The restaurant is decorated with plants and warm lighting, so it felt comfortable yet stylish. It has the vibe of a small garden restaurant in the middle of the city!!! It passes for gatherings and for dates too. The terrace-style window seats especially felt so relaxed that you can hardly believe you're in the middle of Gangnam. I could see why it's popular as a blind date and date spot.

Brivit menu and prices

As a Western restaurant, Brivit had steak, pasta and gnocchi on the menu. It's worth paying attention to the signature dishes on the menu. Here are the three things we ordered this time.

• Porcini shrimp gnocchi ₩17,900
• Hop-hop! Bunny pasta ₩19,900
• Greek yogurt & tomato salad ₩9,900

Pickles and water are self-serve, so help yourself freely.

Porcini shrimp gnocchi + bunny pasta ✨ These look so good they win you over before you even taste them. A successful Gangnam date after a long time ٩( 'ω' )

What does the Greek yogurt & tomato salad taste like?

Brivit's Greek yogurt & tomato salad (₩9,900) is topped with roasted cherry tomatoes and Greek yogurt. The plating itself was like a piece of art! It goes so well with the restaurant's mood, hehe.

The softness of the yogurt blends nicely with the tomatoes, so it was perfect for whetting the appetite before pasta. The added basil made it even more my taste. If your mains are cream or tomato based, it's a good one to order alongside.

What is the Hop-hop! Bunny pasta?

Brivit's bunny pasta (₩19,900) is a tomato-based rigatoni topped with bunny-shaped mozzarella cheeses, one by one. I was curious about a bunny pasta so I ordered it, and it was so cute I almost couldn't bear to eat it. It's a cute little dish through and through, so I recommend it to anyone who can't resist cute things.

It's a tomato-based pasta, but a spicy kick sneaks up, so it isn't heavy, and there was a generous amount of shrimp and squid. The squid texture was so fun and tasty!!

It's been a while since I had rigatoni and it's delicious^^ It's a dish that makes you take photos on a date. The taste is great too. A pasta that wins hearts.

Porcini shrimp gnocchi: what I picked after the corn gnocchi

Brivit's porcini shrimp gnocchi (₩17,900) is a cream-based gnocchi made with porcini mushrooms and shrimp. I remembered the gnocchi here being really good last time, so this time I ordered a different gnocchi instead of the corn gnocchi, you know?

The deep aroma unique to porcini melts into the cream sauce, so it had more flavor than ordinary cream gnocchi.

Slightly crisp outside and chewy inside, they really do gnocchi properly, as you'd expect from a gnocchi place :) And I loved that the mushrooms were thoughtfully cut to the size of the gnocchi!.!.!
