Cacio e pepe, abalone risotto and beef cheddar pizza: Plate Dunsan

Today I want to introduce Plate Dunsan Branch. I was looking for a place in Daejeon to enjoy Western food like pasta or pizza, and I ended up visiting here. The atmosphere was comfortable, and you could see the outside scenery through the window, so it was great for a relaxed meal. The menu was also varied, so it was good to order a few different dishes! If you want to enjoy delicious Western food in a nice atmosphere for a date or a meal with friends, I'd recommend checking this place out~~

The atmosphere with window seats

The interior overall had a clean yet warm atmosphere. The tables weren't cramped, and there was a big floor-to-ceiling window on one side so you could eat while looking out at the view. It was good for a casual lunch or dinner, and the atmosphere fit well for a date or a visit with friends too✨

A menu split into fresh and dried noodles

Looking at the menu, the pasta was divided into fresh noodles and dried noodles, with various kinds like cream or oil-based pasta prepared. They said they use handmade fresh noodles, so I was curious and excited about the texture! On top of that, you could also order steak, pizza and risotto together, so it seemed great for picking a variety of dishes to suit your taste. The wine menu had red and white as well as sparkling and rosé, so it looked good to pair with the food too🍷

Cash payment discount and review event

While eating, I noticed an event notice on one side. It said you get a ₩1,000 discount if you pay by cash or bank transfer for orders over ₩30,000, and you can get free ice cream by writing a Naver receipt photo review. Since you can also join the review event after your meal, it's worth checking this out before you visit~

How was the bacon cacio e pepe?

This is the bacon cacio e pepe I ordered. It was creamy with a nutty cheese flavor, and the added pepper kept it from feeling too heavy. The bacon added a savory saltiness, and the sauce clung well to the noodles, making it more delicious with every bite! If you like the combination of cheese and pepper, you'll enjoy this👏🏻

Abalone gue cream risotto

I also ordered the abalone gue cream risotto. The smooth cream sauce combined with the rich, savory flavor of abalone gue for great depth, and the cheese and crispy toppings on top made it even more delicious~!

The cream sauce was soaked well into the rice, so every bite had a soft texture, and the distinctive savory taste of abalone gue came through subtly. Cream risotto can easily feel heavy, but the flavor was rich enough that I could enjoy it to the last bite without getting tired of it! The toppings on top also kept the texture interesting, making it even more satisfying to eat~~😋

Beef cheddar pizza and the three-dish combo

The beef cheddar pizza had a generous amount of cheese and meat toppings piled on, so it looked really appetizing🤤 The savory, salty flavor was appealing and it went perfectly well alongside the other dishes! Picking three dishes I wanted to eat and enjoying each of their different flavors was even more satisfying haha

At Plate Dunsan Branch, it was great being able to enjoy pasta, risotto and pizza all in a relaxed atmosphere. In particular, the variety of the menu made it easy to pick according to your taste, and the food was delicious, so if you're looking for a Western restaurant in Dunsan-dong, this could be worth checking out. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to relax and enjoy several dishes together💕
