The atmosphere was perfect for a relaxed meal and conversation with a friend, so I thought it would also make a nice Seongsu gathering spot. ## A Seongsu brunch restaurant with a distinctive attic concept Seongsu Darak is on the second floor at 20 Ttukseom-ro 9-gil, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, South Korea. True to its name, the second-floor space has the feel of an attic, which made even getting there feel a little special. There is no separate parking area, so keep that in mind if you plan to drive. ## A bright, cozy Seongsu Darak interior with floor-to-ceiling windows Once we went up to the second floor, the atmosphere was brighter and cozier than I expected. There were many kinds of seating, from couples' tables to group tables, so it was arranged to suit different occasions. It was comfortable for chatting over a meal with a friend, and I could see why Seongsu brunch restaurant Seongsu Darak has remained so popular. ### What we ordered - Darak Omelet Rice — ₩17,000 - Spicy Crab Risotto — ₩19,000 - Darak Ade (Pineapple) — ₩6,900 ## Darak Omelet Rice with a satisfying split-open performance ![Darak Omelet Rice with a cutting performance](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-darak-crab-risotto/seongsu-darak-crab-risotto-03-18kve-966.webp) The first dish to arrive was the Darak Omelet Rice. It features European-style fried rice topped with a soft Japanese-style omelet, finished with Darak's own house-made omelet rice sauce. ![Darak Omelet Rice made with an omelet and fried rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-darak-crab-risotto/seongsu-darak-crab-risotto-04-1b6xx-966.webp) They cut open the omelet right in front of us and let it spread out with a flourish, so it was fun to watch. It was a style that was trendy for a while, but it was fun to see again after so long, haha. ![Darak Omelet Rice with the omelet cut open](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-darak-crab-risotto/seongsu-darak-crab-risotto-05-1tcu6-966.webp) It was wonderfully tender too, so it was a dish that satisfied both visually and flavor-wise. ## Spicy Crab Risotto with a great balance of heat and crab Next was the Spicy Crab Risotto. The risotto is flavored with vegetables stir-fried in chili oil and fresh crab meat, and the balance between the spicy flavor and the crab was lovely. It was not overly rich, and the spice meant I could enjoy it without getting tired of it until the end. ## The adorable pineapple Darak Ade Lastly, we also ordered a Darak Ade. ![Darak Ade in a pineapple-shaped glass](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-darak-crab-risotto/seongsu-darak-crab-risotto-06-awi7w-966.webp) The pineapple ade comes in a pineapple-shaped glass, and it was so cute. It felt a little like we'd come to SpongeBob's place, which also made it great for photos. ![Pineapple Darak Ade that was great for photos](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-darak-crab-risotto/seongsu-darak-crab-risotto-07-1b0s2-966.webp) ## How the meal felt overall Having the omelet rice and risotto together made for a nice combination, and it was fun to take photos too.
