Japanese-French restaurant in Cheongdam-dong: fig caprese at Pepite
Pepite is a Japanese-French restaurant on Dosan-daero 85-gil in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul. The fig caprese layers seasonal figs with Comté cheese and a kelp-broth tosazu cream, and the red shrimp bisque pasta is eaten twice over — first on its own, then stirred with stracciatella. With that much thought in the ingredients and in how each dish is meant to be eaten, Pepite is a fine choice for a special-occasion meal.
