Hôtel de Couture is a Western restaurant in Yeonnam-dong. I'd been wanting to try it every time I passed through Hongdae, and this time I finally went. The name is French, meant to convey serving guests a good atmosphere and delicious food! Maybe that's why there were lots of foreign guests when I visited. A hidden Yeonnam-dong gem for Koreans, you could say?? Let me start my story of Hôtel de Couture, a great place for a blind date or a date in Yeonnam-dong! ## Hôtel de Couture location and opening hours - Location: 567m from Exit 3 of Hongik Univ. Station (8-minute walk) - Hours: daily 11:00 - 20:00 - Last order: 19:00 ### Hôtel de Couture exterior and the waiting line ![Exterior of the brick building in Yeonnam-dong that houses Hôtel de Couture](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell-01-vw470-966.webp) ![Entrance and stairs of the Hôtel de Couture brick building](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell-02-hbp2g-m-966.webp) ![Hôtel de Couture exterior and the stairs where the waiting line forms](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell-03-1tt4e-966.webp) Hôtel de Couture is on the second floor of a charming brick building. If there's a wait, it looked like you line up along the stairs. ## Is Hôtel de Couture good for a date? ![Hôtel de Couture interior with pink wallpaper and wood tones](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell-04-1fqsb-966.webp) ![Seating layout of the Hôtel de Couture dining hall](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell-05-1kexx-966.webp) ![Window-seat side of the Hôtel de Couture interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell-06-1twuv-966.webp) ![Cozy inner seating area at Hôtel de Couture](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell-07-1sjb7-966.webp) Inside, pink wallpaper and wood tones blend into a warm feel! It seemed to create an atmosphere where you can focus on the person across from you. Once you go, you'll see why people call it a good spot for blind dates and dates! You're seated according to party size: tables for 2, tables for 4, group seating and so on. The window seats have an open view and looked especially popular, and further inside there's a cozier area that looked great for talking. The restroom is inside too! ![Interior props at Hôtel de Couture](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell-08-1bq0t-966.webp) ![Close-up of decorative props inside Hôtel de Couture](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell-09-3wet3-966.webp) ![One wall of the stylish Hôtel de Couture interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell-10-1ntwk-966.webp) ![Decor around a table at Hôtel de Couture](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell-11-yi032-m-966.webp) Can you feel the owner's taste in every little prop?? The interior is so pretty that I couldn't help but pick up my camera! haha ## How do you order at Hôtel de Couture? ![QR ordering guide at a Hôtel de Couture table](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell-12-xc8wo-966.webp) ![Hôtel de Couture menu screen](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell-13-u2nox-966.webp) ![Hôtel de Couture menu and price lineup](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell-14-tt7kx-966.webp) You order with the QR code placed at each table. Overall, the prices seemed well put together and good value. We didn't get to try the toast this time, but I hear it's famous for its French toast, so keep that in mind when ordering! ![Steak, pasta and egg in hell spread at Hôtel de Couture](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell-15-qt91b-1200.webp) ### What we ordered at Hôtel de Couture - Carrot duck aglio e olio ₩18,000 - House steak ₩35,000 - Egg in hell ₩18,000 ## Hôtel de Couture house steak with whole-grain mustard ![Hôtel de Couture house steak with sides](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell-16-ih6uu-966.webp) ![Cross-section of the Hôtel de Couture house steak](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell-17-1kag7-966.webp) The Hôtel de Couture house steak (₩35,000) showed a little blood but was evenly cooked, both juicy and tender. Topped with a little whole-grain mustard, it filled my mouth with a rich, nutty flavor! It also came with onion rings and hash browns, which made the plate feel even more generous. ## Is the carrot duck aglio e olio at Hôtel de Couture too oily? ![Hôtel de Couture carrot duck aglio e olio](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell-18-1gqd1-966.webp) ![Duck breast and pasta in the carrot duck aglio e olio](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell-19-zt58i-966.webp) The Hôtel de Couture carrot duck aglio e olio (₩18,000) puts ordinary aglio e olio to shame. The olive oil flavor, which can get heavy, came across light, blended with carrot, garlic, duck breast, cherry tomatoes and more. Seeing all the healthy ingredients, I felt less guilty eating it. With carrots on top, this dish nails both health and flavor haha ## Trying egg in hell for the first time at Hôtel de Couture ![Hôtel de Couture egg in hell with cheese-topped bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell-20-lrhv6-966.webp) ![Egg in hell with a soft-set egg on tomato sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell-21-b48oe-966.webp) ![Eating egg in hell with bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell-22-1i6j2-966.webp) The Hôtel de Couture egg in hell (₩18,000) is a tangy tomato sauce with soft-set cheesy eggs added. It was my first time ever eating egg in hell?! The combination felt so fresh! It's even better spread on the cheese-topped bread that comes with it. Egg in hell really is good whenever you eat it~!! ## When to visit Hôtel de Couture in Yeonnam-dong Among foreigners, Hôtel de Couture is already known by word of mouth on Google as a Yeonnam-dong favorite, and after visiting myself I understood right away why so many people come. From the atmosphere to the quality of the food and the friendly service, nothing was lacking, so it was a satisfying meal. I really felt it's a great restaurant for days with an important engagement, like a blind date, an anniversary date, a birthday meal or a wedding-invitation gathering haha. It's a quiet, stylish space that's good for conversation, and every dish was plated so prettily that taking photos was satisfying too. If you're looking for a restaurant with a nice atmosphere in Yeonnam-dong or Hongdae, this is a no-fail choice! It nails both flavor and mood, so I think it can make a special day, or even an ordinary date, a bit more special. If you want a memorable meal in Yeonnam-dong, I recommend Hôtel de Couture! ## Where it is - Hôtel de Couture (오뗄드꾸뜨) - 7 Donggyo-ro 46-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea (Unit 101, 1.5th floor) - 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/@shared-dish-2/yeonnam-hotel-de-coute-steak-egg-in-hell/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
