That was Melbirds. I told myself I'd have to come back sometime, and I finally made it. Melbirds is famous as a brunch spot, but we actually went for dinner — and it turned out to be just as good for an evening meal. So let me introduce the Melbirds I visited! ## Where Melbirds is, opening hours and menu prices Melbirds is located at 19-3 Gunnam-dong 2-gil, Jeju-si, Jeju-do, South Korea.

We'd called ahead to reserve, though you can also eat without a reservation if there's a seat available. The evenings have gotten pleasantly cool lately, and since Melbirds can open all its floor-to-ceiling windows, we got to feel the early-autumn air while we ate — it really added to the atmosphere. ![Interior of Melbirds in the evening with the floor-to-ceiling windows wide open](https://img.superchart.com/images/melbuzz-jeju-gunam-brunch-gnocchi/melbuzz-jeju-gunam-brunch-gnocchi-02-1acbv-1200.webp) The simple lighting and framed art paired really nicely with the wooden tables, giving the place a lovely mood. It seems like a great spot for a date or a special occasion too. ![Melbirds dining hall with wooden tables, lighting, and framed art](https://img.superchart.com/images/melbuzz-jeju-gunam-brunch-gnocchi/melbuzz-jeju-gunam-brunch-gnocchi-03-1i2c3-900.webp) ## Is Melbirds good with kids? Baby chairs and baby tableware Melbirds has baby chairs and baby tableware, so it's a good option to visit with kids. We sat right by the window and ordered. ![Table setting by the window at Melbirds](https://img.superchart.com/images/melbuzz-jeju-gunam-brunch-gnocchi/melbuzz-jeju-gunam-brunch-gnocchi-04-1fj4e-900.webp) We ordered the signature cream mushroom Jeju potato handmade gnocchi, the beef ragu tomato pasta our kid loves, and the omelette plate. ![Table with the ordered dishes at Melbirds](https://img.superchart.com/images/melbuzz-jeju-gunam-brunch-gnocchi/melbuzz-jeju-gunam-brunch-gnocchi-05-fq6aa-900.webp) The pre-meal bread came out first and it was really delicious. Our kid loved it so much I barely got a taste. 😅 ![Pre-meal bread at Melbirds](https://img.superchart.com/images/melbuzz-jeju-gunam-brunch-gnocchi/melbuzz-jeju-gunam-brunch-gnocchi-06-m93k0-900.webp) ## Beef ragu tomato pasta, 18,500 won Melbirds' beef ragu tomato pasta was plated so beautifully. Even the serving tongs were pretty — shaped kind of like a spoon-fork hybrid — I wanted to bring one home. Everything came out still steaming right after being cooked, and just watching it really got my appetite going. ![Beautifully plated beef ragu tomato pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/melbuzz-jeju-gunam-brunch-gnocchi/melbuzz-jeju-gunam-brunch-gnocchi-07-8apbo-900.webp) Our kid really loves ragu pasta. More than half the plate disappeared, all thanks to our little one. So proud!! A place where your kid eats well is a place worth going back to! ![Child eating the ragu pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/melbuzz-jeju-gunam-brunch-gnocchi/melbuzz-jeju-gunam-brunch-gnocchi-08-5ktb2-900.webp) ![Beef ragu tomato pasta served in a separate portion](https://img.superchart.com/images/melbuzz-jeju-gunam-brunch-gnocchi/melbuzz-jeju-gunam-brunch-gnocchi-09-8uvry-900.webp) ## Omelette plate, 15,000 won and packed with vegetables Melbirds' omelette plate is packed with vegetables. I'm a huge fan of boiled, grilled, and steamed veggies in general. The potato and egg were fluffy and nicely salty, the vegetables were moist, and I ended up eating basically all of them myself haha. There's pepper sprinkled on top, so it can be a touch spicy. ![Melbirds omelette plate loaded with vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/melbuzz-jeju-gunam-brunch-gnocchi/melbuzz-jeju-gunam-brunch-gnocchi-10-vqcwf-900.webp) ![Close-up of the omelette plate with potato, egg, and roasted vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/melbuzz-jeju-gunam-brunch-gnocchi/melbuzz-jeju-gunam-brunch-gnocchi-11-i9xi7-900.webp) ## Cream mushroom Jeju potato handmade gnocchi, 16,500 won: a first taste of gnocchi This is the signature cream mushroom Jeju potato handmade gnocchi — the dish I was most excited about. Honestly, this was my first time ever trying gnocchi. In simple terms, would you call it like a potato rice cake? I really, really love Korean potato pancakes (gamjajeon)! My first gnocchi ever had a texture somewhere between potato rice cake and potato pancake. It paired beautifully with the cream sauce and cheese too — genuinely delicious! This gnocchi is definitely going to be my personal benchmark for gnocchi from now on! Watching my kid eat it happily made me so happy — I already know I'll be back. ![A plate of cream mushroom Jeju potato handmade gnocchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/melbuzz-jeju-gunam-brunch-gnocchi/melbuzz-jeju-gunam-brunch-gnocchi-12-ab0ft-900.webp) ## After dinner at Melbirds By the time we finished eating and stepped outside, it had gotten dark. My kid pointed up and said, 'Mom, look, the moon!' — and there was this big, bright, beautiful moon hanging in the sky. Getting to enjoy a great meal with my kid and make one more happy memory together made for a wonderful night. Melbirds, a Jeju brunch favorite, is great for lunch and dinner just as much as brunch — I really recommend giving it a try. ## Where it is - Melbirds (멜버즈) - 19-3 Gunnam-dong 2-gil, Jeju-si, Jeju-do, South Korea - 제주특별자치도 제주시 구남동2길 19-3 멜버즈 - 33.4892361, 126.5360552 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A9%9C%EB%B2%84%EC%A6%88/@33.4892361,126.5360552,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@udo-noon-ferry/melbuzz-jeju-gunam-brunch-gnocchi/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
