Daehak-ro salad shop solo meal: bacon potato soup set, Sallering

I had time to kill in Daehak-ro after seeing a play and before meeting a friend, so I went looking for somewhere to eat alone and found this place! It's Sallering Daehak-ro 🙂

Lately I've been eating out a lot and having late-night snacks, and my body felt a little heavy. I'm not really a vegetable person, but I suddenly thought I should have a healthier meal, so I searched around for options and found Sallering 🩵

Sallering Daehak-ro location and opening hours

Sallering Daehak-ro is at 24 Daehak-ro 10-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul, on the first floor. It is open 11:00–20:00, with last order at 19:30.

It's close to Hyehwa Station, so it's easy to get to! It's a nice place to drop in lightly when you're seeing a show in Daehak-ro or have plans nearby, and it works well if you're looking for a solo lunch in Hyehwa too~

Is Sallering Daehak-ro good for eating alone?

The moment I walked in, the green accent interior caught my eye 🌿🌿

There are seats set up for solo diners, so I could eat comfortably, and the tables are spaced well enough that it felt relaxed to stay. I ate alone that day, and for a solo lunch in Daehak-ro, both the menu and the space get a pass from me~

What's on the Sallering Daehak-ro menu

The menu was really varied! There's poke (a Hawaiian-style rice bowl) where you pick fresh vegetables and protein to your taste, sandwiches that are nice for a light bite, salad bowls for a hearty meal, soup sets and more.

My Slim Pack Soup Set order: brisket, sauce and soup

You can choose from several sauces and extra toppings to suit your taste, so I added toppings to the basic Slim Pack Soup Set.

• Slim Pack Soup Set (with 70g extra sweet potato salad)
• + 50g extra beef brisket
• + mentaiko wasabi mayo sauce (mentaiko is spicy pollock roe)
• + bacon potato soup
• Yellow Cleanse juice

Is the Slim Pack Soup Set filling enough for a full meal?

With a name like Slim Pack I expected a light portion, but the beef brisket on top made it plenty for a meal!

Beef brisket sits on top of nutty brown rice, and it comes with sweet potato salad, quail eggs and grilled tofu, so the nutritional balance is great too 👍🏻👍🏻

How the bacon potato soup tastes

The bacon potato soup that came with it was smooth and rich, which impressed me! I'm a total potato lover, so potatoes in soup form was exactly my taste 🤍

It has bacon in it, so it's salty, and the potatoes are soft and fluffy, so it was delicious!! If you come to Sallering, the soup is a must~~

Is the mentaiko wasabi mayo sauce worth adding?

I added the mentaiko wasabi mayo sauce, and dipping the brisket and other things in it made everything taste even better~

Healthy food can be a bit bland, but thanks to the sauce I never got tired of it until the end. If you usually find salads dull, adding a sauce will make it more satisfying, so please do add one~~

Yellow Cleanse juice at Sallering

And last, the cleanse juice 💛 The Yellow Cleanse juice was fresh and clean-tasting, and nice to drink with the meal.

Verdict: Sallering Daehak-ro for a solo meal around a show

Sallering Daehak-ro is a good place to eat before or after a play, and also for a light solo meal before meeting someone. If you're wondering about a salad place in Daehak-ro or a solo lunch in Hyehwa, I recommend it! Next time I want to try other topping combinations and the poke menu~~~ If you're craving a meal that's healthy but still filling, give it a visit :)
