Visiting with a baby, the writer ordered shrimp anchovy oil pasta at 18,000 won, truffle mushroom pizza at 22,000 won, sweet potato fries and baguette, and the staff brought out baby dishes and a high chair. The oil pasta went down well with the baby, but the truffle mushroom pizza had burnt mushroom tops that tasted bitter — the first plate the writer has ever left unfinished here. ## Good to know - **Location**: 25 Seogwangju-ro, 1st floor, Seo-gu, Gwangju (between Jjamppong Jojon Jeonnam Gwangju branch and Starbucks Seogwangju branch) - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–22:00 - **Break time**: 16:00–16:30 - **Last order**: 21:00 - **Parking**: Private lot behind the building - **Shrimp anchovy oil pasta**: 18,000 won - **Truffle mushroom pizza**: 22,000 won - **Sweet potato fries**: 10,000 won - **Baguette (5 slices)**: 3,000 won - **With children**: Baby dishes and a high chair available - **Price reference**: ₩18,000 ≈ $13.5 · ₩22,000 ≈ $16.5 · ₩10,000 ≈ $7.4 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 15, 2026* I stopped by for a delicious lunch while out and about in Gwangju. ![Vertical photo of Bueokgan Sangmu Branch's exterior](https://img.superchart.com/images/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta-01-1ok17-900.webp) ## Where is Bueokgan Sangmu Branch? Hours and parking Let me introduce Bueokgan, a brunch favorite in Gwangju's Sangmu district ^^ It's located between the Jjamppong Jonjon Jeonnam Gwangju branch and the Starbucks Seogwangju branch. Since it's a bit away from the busy Sangmu commercial strip, you can enjoy a relaxed, quiet meal here. - Daily 11:00–22:00 - Break time 16:00–16:30 - Last order 21:00 There's a private parking lot behind the building, so no worries about the usual parking headaches in Gwangju! ![Outdoor tables in front of Bueokgan Sangmu Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta-02-14k89-900.webp) ## European-style interior and outdoor tables at Bueokgan There are stylish outdoor tables set up in front of the restaurant — on a breezy day, I'd love to eat out there. Bueokgan, the Sangmu brunch favorite, has such a sleek European interior both inside and out that it feels like you've traveled somewhere, and it instantly lifts the mood haha. Of course it's also known for its great food, so lots of families and groups come here too. ![Entrance of Bueokgan Sangmu Branch with European-style interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta-03-1c3da-900.webp) This is the view when you open the door and step inside — cozy yet exotic, isn't the interior impressive? ![Interior view of Bueokgan seen right after entering](https://img.superchart.com/images/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta-04-801h9-900.webp) There are all sorts of tables, big and small, so you can sit comfortably no matter how many you're with. ![Dining hall with tables of various sizes](https://img.superchart.com/images/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta-05-1z690-900.webp) ![Seating at Bueokgan Sangmu Branch under soft lighting](https://img.superchart.com/images/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta-06-1aa9s-900.webp) The lighting is soft too, perfect for a blind date or a date course. It's great for eating with a partner or family, but it also works well for group dinners and gatherings. ![Spacious table area suitable for group gatherings](https://img.superchart.com/images/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta-07-1w23n-900.webp) ![Interior decor details at Bueokgan Sangmu Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta-08-1wnm5-900.webp) ### Coat racks and a high chair for children There are plenty of coat hooks for outerwear, and chairs set up for the little customers too. ![Corner of the restaurant with coat hooks and a kids' chair](https://img.superchart.com/images/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta-09-1f2zf-900.webp) Bueokgan, the Sangmu brunch favorite with a Roman-hotel-concept European feel, also serves wine to match the atmosphere — it would pair really well with the main dishes. If I weren't driving, I could stay here forever haha. We took our usual corner sofa seat. ![The inner corner sofa seat](https://img.superchart.com/images/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta-10-15wdc-966.webp) ## Is Bueokgan Sangmu Branch okay with a baby? Baby dishes provided They even set out baby dishes for our little one~♥ ![Baby dishes provided for the child](https://img.superchart.com/images/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta-11-3e6g2-900.webp) The restaurant is also running a Naver review event, so check it out and take part~♥ ![Vertical photo of the Bueokgan Sangmu Branch menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta-12-hpwkn-905.webp) ![Menu page listing pasta and pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta-13-fu98k-905.webp) ## What we ordered at Bueokgan and what it cost Today we ordered shrimp anchovy oil pasta (₩18,000), truffle mushroom pizza (₩22,000), sweet potato fries (₩10,000), and baguette, 5 pieces (₩3,000). ![Five pieces of baguette served as pre-meal bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta-14-1c05k-966.webp) The baguette, lightly drizzled with oil, was crisp yet moist — great as a pre-meal bread. ![Crispy fried sweet potato fries](https://img.superchart.com/images/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta-15-18xg4-966.webp) The sweet potato fries, which I always end up ordering at Bueokgan, are sweet and crunchy — perfect for nibbling on between courses. ![Scooping up a bite of sweet potato fries](https://img.superchart.com/images/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta-16-bz4bn-900.webp) ### Shrimp anchovy oil pasta, 18,000 won An oil pasta loaded with shrimp, which the baby loves. ![Shrimp anchovy oil pasta loaded with shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta-17-1tru7-900.webp) The shrimp were big and plump, giving it great texture, and the oil aroma was rich and delicious. ![Close-up of plump shrimp on the oil pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta-18-414nw-966.webp) We usually only order cream pasta, so it made me happy that the baby ate well the first time we tried an oil pasta. ![A plate of the oil pasta being served out](https://img.superchart.com/images/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta-19-1xyi2-900.webp) ### Why the truffle mushroom pizza disappointed We've always ordered the jambon pizza, so this time we tried the truffle mushroom pizza. It's built on a homemade tomato sauce base with chewy mushrooms, finished with truffle oil and chopped scallions. ![Truffle mushroom pizza topped with truffle oil and scallions](https://img.superchart.com/images/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta-20-o8odh-900.webp) The mushrooms' rich aroma was impressive, but the tops were quite charred, giving a bitter taste with every bite. I thought the mushroom pizza would suit the baby better than the jambon one, but since it had so many burnt spots and tasted bitter, this was the first dish here we left unfinished. Next time I think I'll just stick with the jambon pizza. ![A slice taken from the truffle mushroom pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta-21-gcs3z-966.webp) ![Lunch table with pasta and pizza together](https://img.superchart.com/images/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta-22-1qx08-m-900.webp) Our lunch table was full of hearty dishes, and we had an enjoyable, delicious meal. ![The Bueokgan Sangmu Branch table after finishing the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta-23-kwv2v-900.webp) A cup of tea ordered to finish off the meal^^ ![A cup of warm tea ordered to finish the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta/buheokgan-sangmu-kids-oil-pasta-24-1nkwc-1200.webp) ## Is Bueokgan Sangmu Branch worth a visit with a child?
