Jonggak anniversary Italian, ginkgo window seats: Schedule Osteria

Why Schedule Osteria is a top 3 pick for a Jonggak anniversary date

Schedule Osteria's Jonggak branch has landed in my top 3 of the restaurants I've visited lately ✨ The blind-date and anniversary-date vibe is seriously insane…!

We came to celebrate our 2-year anniversary (sort of?), and at Schedule Osteria you absolutely have to get the signature dish! Order the truffle cheese wheel tagliatelle and you get a jaw-dropping flame show right at your table, so it's two for one.

Even the atmosphere is so romantic ~ In fact, the tables in front of us, behind us and next to us were all on blind dates.

What's the atmosphere like at Schedule Osteria?

I loved the European-style interior at Schedule Osteria: soft curved lines, big open windows and luxurious blue velvet chairs. Aren't these chairs just so pretty? And outside the window you could see ginkgo trees just starting to turn, which made the mood feel even brighter.

This side has calm beige tones. There are bar seats too, and since it's an open kitchen, it looked like a lot of fun to watch.

I especially recommend the bar seats if you're having the course! There's also a group table in the back that fits about 10 people. Great for group gatherings and year-end parties too.

We were shown to a window seat. The tableware and cutlery were neatly set.

After washing my hands I looked to the side and there was hand cream~! It was L'Parfum hand cream. It smells lovely, and my hands felt moisturized after washing 🩵 They even put out such fancy hand cream, which is just so nice.

Schedule Osteria menu and course prices

The menu at Schedule Osteria is divided into courses and à la carte.

The courses split into a chef's course and wine pairing courses.

The chef's tasting course! The base price is ₩59,000, which is really on the affordable side. Your steak choice may add a surcharge, but it's only about +₩8,000, so it's not a burden.

The wine pairing course comes in two versions, and the 3-pairing one is served like this.

Now let's look at the à la carte menu. There were lots of main dishes, from seafood to meat. Remembering our trip to Spain, we picked the honey cod from among them. The honey cod steak is ₩33,000.

The salads looked so good too (sob), but we decided to order one more main instead.

Pasta, risotto... I honestly wanted all of it (sob). From these we ordered the signature truffle cheese wheel tagliatelle for ₩34,000. And the Wando abalone risotto for ₩34,000 too!

Schedule Osteria also has dessert and coffee/tea menus, so you can go straight from your meal to dessert and coffee!

There are wine and drink menus too, so pair away to your taste, let's go!

Truffle bread and the cheese wheel flame show

At Schedule Osteria, they brought out bread first. Truffle butter cream spread over warm, toasty bread -

It was so moist, and the subtle truffle aroma poking at my nose was totally my style..💛 This place is truly a truffle paradise (sob). All truffle lovers, assemble!! Because of the very next main dish!

Something amazing arrived! The fancy (and hard to say..) truffle cheese wheel tagliatelle, ₩34,000. A huge cheese wheel appeared with a massive presence! They cooked it beautifully right in front of us, and it felt a bit like a Western-style version of Haidilao.

We ordered these 3.

• 🍯 Honey cod steak ₩33,000
• 🧀 Truffle cheese wheel tagliatelle ₩34,000
• 🦪 Wando abalone risotto ₩34,000

Is the truffle cheese wheel tagliatelle salty or greasy?

The truffle cheese wheel tagliatelle is wonderfully thick and rich. With this much cheese, it usually gets very salty and can turn heavy, but this was not heavy at all, just nutty and savory, and it was definitely not salty.

Smooth, deep cheese with truffle aroma setting off fireworks! Definitely order this. Even as I write this I'm craving it again.. so I've reserved it in my mind as our year-end anniversary date spot this year.

What does the Wando abalone risotto taste like?

Next is the precious abalone.. On the Wando abalone risotto, one piece of abalone was split neatly into two and placed on top.

A rich, smooth savoriness splashed through~ And when I cut the abalone into easier bites, it was so chewy~! The texture got so fun, you know? The rice grains were cooked just right, so I could feel each grain yet it chewed softly. The chefs at Schedule Osteria are truly masters of Western cooking~

Is the honey cod steak fishy?

I love the honey cod steak💛 First, squeeze on the lemon juice generously to boost the freshness~

Isn't the plating gorgeous too? And the flesh is so tender.. When I cut into it, it split so softly. The inside was glossy too. I took one big bite, yum!

There was no fishy taste at all, and the sweet sauce and lemon juice blended so that a fresh, tangy flavor burst in my mouth!

And the combination of the honey cod steak and the truffle cheese pasta was so good. One bite of the smooth, savory flavor, then a bite of honey cod soaked in tangy sweetness, and this place is paradise on earth. Plus, enjoying this beautiful atmosphere with my partner was just so lovely.
