Visiting just past lunch rush, the mushroom salad, arugula burrata sandwich, and iced Americano were enjoyed on the terrace with a view straight onto the waterside park. The balsamic glaze salad and focaccia sandwich combo was satisfying enough to plan a return for the charcoal-grilled bulgogi panini. ## Good to know - **Location**: 199 Wiryegwangjang-ro, 1st floor, Songpa-gu, Seoul (in front of Wirye Lake Park) - **Hours**: Daily 10:00–22:00 - **Ordering**: Kiosk order; 15–20 minutes for food to arrive - **Arugula burrata sandwich + iced Americano set (1 person)**: ₩13,800 - **Mushroom salad**: ₩12,800 - **Iced Americano**: ₩4,500 - **Seating**: Spacious interior with lots of seats; terrace seats are popular *as written by the visitor on Sep 8, 2026* This is a review of a relaxed brunch at a café with a great view of Wirye Lake Park in Songpa, Seoul — a mushroom salad packed with fresh vegetables, and a sandwich made with ciabatta where fragrant arugula met soft burrata cheese. Both the taste and the atmosphere were on point at this Wirye brunch café, Cafe The Venezia. A very satisfied review! > Cafe The Venezia 🏞️ 199 Wiryegwangjang-ro, 1F, Songpa-gu, Seoul 🥪 Open daily 10:00 – 22:00 ![Exterior of Cafe The Venezia in Wirye and the surrounding scenery](https://img.superchart.com/images/wirye-lake-park-terrace-brunch-cafe/wirye-lake-park-terrace-brunch-cafe-01-4fpwf-900.webp) ![View of the entrance area of Cafe The Venezia](https://img.superchart.com/images/wirye-lake-park-terrace-brunch-cafe/wirye-lake-park-terrace-brunch-cafe-02-yk1ew-866.webp) ## Where is Wirye? Songpa-gu, right in front of Wirye Lake Park Whenever someone says they want to go to Wirye, I usually have to double-check whether it's Seongnam, Songpa, or Hanam... but Cafe The Venezia is located on the Songpa side! And since it's right in front of Wirye Lake Park, the terrace seats are super popular. Wirye Waterside Park is right outside, so it's a great spot to eat and then take a stroll. ![Walking path along Wirye Waterside Park in front of the café](https://img.superchart.com/images/wirye-lake-park-terrace-brunch-cafe/wirye-lake-park-terrace-brunch-cafe-03-1wv4d-900.webp) ![Café building right in front of Wirye Lake Park](https://img.superchart.com/images/wirye-lake-park-terrace-brunch-cafe/wirye-lake-park-terrace-brunch-cafe-04-fq0vz-900.webp) ## Packed at lunchtime, quieter by 3pm It's a café known for brunch, so I figured it'd be crowded at lunchtime — I visited slightly after the rush and it was still nearly full, but by around 3pm, once people finished up and left, it got a bit quieter. The store is spacious with plenty of seats, so it can easily accommodate group visits too. On a nice day, even without a seat, taking your order to go and eating in the park seems like a solid option. ![Spacious seating inside the café](https://img.superchart.com/images/wirye-lake-park-terrace-brunch-cafe/wirye-lake-park-terrace-brunch-cafe-05-1wxhh-900.webp) ![Seating layout at Cafe The Venezia](https://img.superchart.com/images/wirye-lake-park-terrace-brunch-cafe/wirye-lake-park-terrace-brunch-cafe-06-cw6g7-900.webp) ## Kiosk ordering and menu prices Orders are placed at the kiosk! Since most guests order brunch, the food takes about 15–20 minutes to come out. - Arugula burrata sandwich + iced Americano set (1 person): ₩13,800 - Mushroom salad: ₩12,800 - Iced Americano: ₩4,500 We ordered a sandwich, a salad, and two iced Americanos, and the staff thoughtfully put one item into the 1-person set that includes coffee! Kind and considerate, 👍 ![Ordering area near the kiosk](https://img.superchart.com/images/wirye-lake-park-terrace-brunch-cafe/wirye-lake-park-terrace-brunch-cafe-07-1sd9l-900.webp) There's a bakery right next to the kiosk, so I seriously debated adding some bread to the order... ![Bakery display case next to the kiosk](https://img.superchart.com/images/wirye-lake-park-terrace-brunch-cafe/wirye-lake-park-terrace-brunch-cafe-08-cmys8-900.webp) ![Croissants in the bakery display case](https://img.superchart.com/images/wirye-lake-park-terrace-brunch-cafe/wirye-lake-park-terrace-brunch-cafe-09-r20k4-900.webp) The croissants looked genuinely delicious — I quietly earmarked them as a backup order in case what we got wasn't enough! 🤭 ![Window-side atmosphere seen from inside the café](https://img.superchart.com/images/wirye-lake-park-terrace-brunch-cafe/wirye-lake-park-terrace-brunch-cafe-10-xf83t-900.webp) ![Terrace seating with a view of the waterside park](https://img.superchart.com/images/wirye-lake-park-terrace-brunch-cafe/wirye-lake-park-terrace-brunch-cafe-11-8dzla-1200.webp) ## Terrace seats with a direct view of the waterside park When we first came in, it was so crowded we took the one open seat left, but a bunch of guests suddenly cleared out, so we moved to a terrace seat! With the waterside park right there, a cool breeze these days, and nice weather, it was a great spot to sit back and relax. ![Brunch on the terrace table with a park view](https://img.superchart.com/images/wirye-lake-park-terrace-brunch-cafe/wirye-lake-park-terrace-brunch-cafe-12-sx0hi-900.webp) ## Mushroom salad, with balsamic glaze and mozzarella cheese A mushroom salad piled generously with fresh lettuce! I've been dieting hard lately and actually lost 2kg, so with a low-calorie, healthy salad that's also delicious, I figured I could eat as much as I wanted with a clear conscience! ![Mushroom salad piled high with lettuce](https://img.superchart.com/images/wirye-lake-park-terrace-brunch-cafe/wirye-lake-park-terrace-brunch-cafe-13-2op4e-900.webp) ![Close-up of the mushroom salad with smoked sausage and olives](https://img.superchart.com/images/wirye-lake-park-terrace-brunch-cafe/wirye-lake-park-terrace-brunch-cafe-14-1ujbv-900.webp) The vegetables in the salad were quite varied — smoked sausage, black olives, chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, and even grapes. The mushrooms were marinated in balsamic, and the dressing was a balsamic glaze too, which paired well with the round mozzarella cheese on top! Dip the mozzarella in the tomato and it's basically a cherry tomato caprese~ ![Salad with mozzarella cheese and cherry tomatoes picked up](https://img.superchart.com/images/wirye-lake-park-terrace-brunch-cafe/wirye-lake-park-terrace-brunch-cafe-15-z515g-900.webp) The delicious salad went so well with the coffee made from nutty, roasted beans. Thanks to Venezia, my day off felt extra sweet and relaxed!! ![Table setting with salad and iced Americano](https://img.superchart.com/images/wirye-lake-park-terrace-brunch-cafe/wirye-lake-park-terrace-brunch-cafe-16-qs3l6-900.webp) ## The arugula burrata sandwich, made with focaccia This sandwich, with its great combo of arugula and burrata cheese, was made with focaccia that has that aged-dough flavor I love — so soft and delicious! I was in the mood for a crisp arugula sandwich that day, and this choice was a total success! Looking at other reviews, the charcoal-grilled bulgogi panini seems to be one of the most popular items among the brunch menu — I'm planning to try the panini next time! ![Arugula burrata sandwich made with focaccia](https://img.superchart.com/images/wirye-lake-park-terrace-brunch-cafe/wirye-lake-park-terrace-brunch-cafe-17-11lln-900.webp) ![Cross-section of the sandwich showing burrata cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/wirye-lake-park-terrace-brunch-cafe/wirye-lake-park-terrace-brunch-cafe-18-u0lob-900.webp) ## A stroll through the park after eating With the breezy, pleasant weather these days, lots of people were taking a walk through the park after their meal. We only had time for a short stroll since we had other plans, but the atmosphere was so nice and the mood so good that I want to come back next time on a date with my boyfriend! I'd recommend Venezia, a lovely brunch café with a view of Wirye Lake Park! ## Where it is - Cafe The Venezia (카페 더 베네치아) - 199 Wiryegwangjang-ro, 1st floor, Songpa-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 송파구 위례광장로 199 1층 112호, 112-1호 - 37.4817002, 127.1427874 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%B9%B4%ED%8E%98%20%EB%8D%94%20%EB%B2%A0%EB%84%A4%EC%B9%98%EC%95%84/@37.4817002,127.1427874,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@what-fits-here/wirye-lake-park-terrace-brunch-cafe/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
