Ordering the jambon truffle cream risotto, house steak and a cola, the nutty cream, salty jambon and crispy-outside-juicy-inside steak made for a great back-and-forth pairing. It's popular enough as a Yeonnam-dong date spot that even someone who hates waiting lined up over 40 minutes for it. ## Good to know - **Address**: 7 Donggyo-ro 46-gil, 101-ho 1.5F, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - **Hours**: Daily 11:00 – 20:00 - **Last order**: 19:00 - **Ordering method**: Check menu and order via table QR code - **Menu ordered**: Jambon truffle cream risotto, house steak, cola - **Steak side dishes**: 2 hash browns, 4 onion rings - **Waiting time**: Over 40 minutes on visit day *as written by the visitor on Sep 6, 2026* Hôtel de Couture A great-atmosphere restaurant for a Yeonnam-dong date > Hôtel de Couture, 7 Donggyo-ro 46-gil, 101-ho, Mapo-gu, Seoul / Daily 11:00 – 20:00, last order 19:00 ![Entrance of Hôtel de Couture, a Western-style restaurant in Yeonnam-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-truffle-risotto-house-steak/yeonnam-truffle-risotto-house-steak-01-8r2hn-900.webp) ![Building exterior and sign of Hôtel de Couture](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-truffle-risotto-house-steak/yeonnam-truffle-risotto-house-steak-02-50k6s-900.webp) I have a favorite restaurant in Yeonnam-dong — it's Hôtel de Couture!

So here's what I ordered!! - Jambon truffle cream risotto - House steak - Cola That's what I ordered :) ![QR code ordering guide on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-truffle-risotto-house-steak/yeonnam-truffle-risotto-house-steak-06-2e84k-900.webp) ![Table setting with the ordered cola](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-truffle-risotto-house-steak/yeonnam-truffle-risotto-house-steak-07-1c5wy-m-900.webp) I could check the menu and order using the QR code on the table, and for the drink, I went with cola~ ![A plate of jambon truffle cream risotto](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-truffle-risotto-house-steak/yeonnam-truffle-risotto-house-steak-08-1hu55-900.webp) ![Close-up of truffle cream risotto topped with jambon](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-truffle-risotto-house-steak/yeonnam-truffle-risotto-house-steak-09-1d6u5-900.webp) ## How does the jambon truffle cream risotto taste? Jambon (ham) cream risotto scented with truffle oil~ The distinctive truffle aroma rises up gently and the texture is so good!! I came back for this texture... ![A spoonful of risotto lifted, showing the blended cream sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-truffle-risotto-house-steak/yeonnam-truffle-risotto-house-steak-10-1jqpt-899.webp) The cream sauce blends smoothly through the whole risotto, so from the first bite it's full of nutty, rich flavor~ Adding the truffle scent makes it a bit deeper and richer ![Risotto and jambon picked up together](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-truffle-risotto-house-steak/yeonnam-truffle-risotto-house-steak-11-1erwv-720.webp) Once the jambon's distinctive salty taste kicks in, my chopsticks kept going back for more. Eating the risotto together with the jambon means the cream's nuttiness and the ham's saltiness combo is amazing. ![House steak served with three sauces](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-truffle-risotto-house-steak/yeonnam-truffle-risotto-house-steak-12-1yie5-900.webp) ![Steak plate cut into easy-to-eat pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-truffle-risotto-house-steak/yeonnam-truffle-risotto-house-steak-13-f0smj-900.webp) ## How does the house steak turn out? It comes out cut into easy-to-eat pieces with three sauces~ The steak is seared golden on the outside while staying juicy inside, so you get both textures ![Cross-section of the steak, seared golden on the outside](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-truffle-risotto-house-steak/yeonnam-truffle-risotto-house-steak-14-lagr8-899.webp) There's little of that tough, chewy feeling and it's relatively tender! The inside keeps its juicy texture alive, so it's really tasty>< ![A piece of steak dipped in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-truffle-risotto-house-steak/yeonnam-truffle-risotto-house-steak-15-jejux-900.webp) ![Risotto and steak placed together on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-truffle-risotto-house-steak/yeonnam-truffle-risotto-house-steak-16-15ekg-900.webp) ## What's the best combo if you're going as a pair? Alternating between the risotto and the steak throughout the meal means you never get tired of one flavor, and the combo is the best!! If you're visiting as a pair, ordering one cream-based risotto and one steak to share also seems like a good combo. I tried the other menu items too and they were all delicious... ![Steak plate served with hash browns and onion rings](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-truffle-risotto-house-steak/yeonnam-truffle-risotto-house-steak-17-ysykx-1200.webp) The fried side comes with 2 hash browns and 4 onion rings! They're crispy, and having the onion rings alongside means you don't get sick of it, and it pairs well with the steak too! ![Close-up of crispy onion rings and hash browns](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-truffle-risotto-house-steak/yeonnam-truffle-risotto-house-steak-18-5ii47-900.webp) If you're looking for a Yeonnam-dong date restaurant, a Yeonnam-dong restaurant, or a Hongdae brunch restaurant, this is one worth visiting at least once :) If you want to spend a relaxed time with delicious Western food in Yeonnam-dong, I recommend Hôtel de Couture 🤍 ## Where it is - Hôtel de Couture (오뗄드꾸뜨) - 7 Donggyo-ro 46-gil, 101-ho 1.5F, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 마포구 동교로46길 7 101호 1.5층 - 37.5627102, 126.9253227 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%98%A4%EB%97%84%EB%93%9C%EA%BE%B8%EB%9C%A8/@37.5627102,126.9253227,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-soup-spoon/yeonnam-truffle-risotto-house-steak/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
