Bisque linguine and octopus gnocchi at Mano di Chef near Coex, Seoul
Mano di Chef Samsung Branch is a Blue Ribbon-rated Western restaurant on basement level 1 of Dongsung Building, next to Coex near Samseong Station Exit 5 in Gangnam, Seoul. The writer ordered the steak & carrot hummus plate, red shrimp bisque linguine, and carrot puree & octopus gnocchi, all served almost simultaneously, with the deeply reduced shrimp-head bisque pasta and silky carrot puree standing out most. A recommended pick for anniversary dates, blind dates, or family meetings where atmosphere really matters.
