Gangnam brunch with truffle gnocchi at The Mignon Seoul

I went to The Mignon Seoul (더미뇽 서울) because I wanted a brunch spot with a nice atmosphere near Gangnam Station. The exterior already has a little bit of a European feel, while the interior is upscale and modern, so it seemed nice for a date or a meal with friends.

I ordered the truffle mushroom gnocchi and seasonal fruit French toast, and to give you the conclusion first: both were delicious.

The Mignon Seoul location

The address is 25 Gangnam-daero 102-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea. It is in a convenient spot when you want brunch or Western food around Gangnam Station. It is also super close to Sinnonhyeon Station.

The menu is varied, from brunches such as French toast and breakfast to pasta, steak, salad, coffee, and wine.

How was the truffle mushroom gnocchi?

The truffle mushroom gnocchi was ₩23,000. I ordered it because I love gnocchi, and this was really delicious.

The soft gnocchi was joined by mushrooms and truffle flavor, and from the first bite I thought, wow, I ordered well. If brunch alone feels a little lacking, or you want something more filling alongside it, I recommend the gnocchi.

Fig seasonal fruit French toast

The seasonal fruit French toast was also ₩23,000. It was topped with figs when I visited, and it looked pretty from the start.

Eating the figs with the French toast, it was sweet and the fruit flavor matched well too. I like figs, so I enjoyed it even more. There was jam, a large piece of cheese, something like ham, and lots of figs on top too. Since this dish uses seasonal fruit, the fruit on top may change depending on when you visit.

What we ate and what it cost for two

• Truffle mushroom gnocchi: ₩23,000
• Seasonal fruit French toast: ₩23,000
• Total: ₩46,000

The two of us visited, chose one brunch item and one Western dish, and shared them. Since the flavors were so different, the combination worked well. Especially after sweet French toast, I kept reaching for the nutty, rich gnocchi, then switching back again.

There was also a wide selection of wine, and the two-story building was so pretty.

A brunch spot near Gangnam Station with a great atmosphere

At The Mignon Seoul, the atmosphere stayed with me just as much as the food.

With its European-style exterior and neat, modern interior, it suits a day when you want to have a meal somewhere atmospheric in Gangnam. More than anything, I was happy because the food was delicious!

The truffle mushroom gnocchi in particular was good enough that I want to have it again, and the seasonal fruit French toast with figs was delicious too. If you are looking for brunch or Western food near Gangnam Station, along with a restaurant that has a nice atmosphere, The Mignon Seoul is worth trying.

The Mignon Seoul also has such a varied menu that I want to try other dishes next time. Along with brunch, there is pasta and steak, so it looked good not only for a lunch date but also for a day when you want a slightly more atmospheric meal.

If I had to choose just one of the dishes we ate this time, I would recommend the truffle mushroom gnocchi. The soft texture of the gnocchi went so well with the mushroom and truffle flavors that I enjoyed it right to the end. On the other hand, if you like sweet brunches, the seasonal fruit French toast would suit you well. When I had it, it was topped with figs, so it was pretty to look at and the flavors worked beautifully. If you visit as two, try ordering one gnocchi and one French toast and sharing them like we did. Switching between the savory, nutty dish and the sweet one made for a really nice combination.
