Standby Kitchen 스탠바이키친 - Idae 이대

Check out My Youtube Channel!

Standby Kitchen is a small sandwich place that is located near the back gates of Idae.  The shop has a tiny little storefront and the seating is all in the basement of the restaurant.  They make primarily sandwiches, but they also have fries and salad as well.

I have eaten a few of the sandwiches from this place and all of them taste great, but the portions are way too small for the price.  I generally need to eat at least two to get full which makes the place far too expensive.  That being said the ingredients are fresh and the sandwiches taste great.

Pomodoro Chicago Pizza and Pub 뽀모도로시카고피자 - Idae 이대

Check out My Youtube Channel!

Chicago Pizza and Pub is a really cool Chicago style deep dish pizza restaurant that is located in Idae right near the university.  The pizza at this place is quite good and if you order the set it comes out to a really affordable price.  If you live in the area you should definitely give this place a try.

The atmosphere in Chicago Pizza and Pub is a quiet restaurant type of place and it is a great place to go on a date with your significant other or with friends.  The atmosphere is nice, but doesn't really stand out.  The food is pretty good though and especially the set menus make things a lot cheaper with the same quality of food.  The set menus generally involve a choice of pizza along with an option for a choice of either salad or pasta.  Together these cost around 20,000 depending upon what you order a little more or a little less and feed about two people.

I have ordered a few different pizzas and pastas at this place and have never been disappointed.  This last time that I went we ordered the mushroom and olive pizza which was very cheesy and quite tasty along with the ricotta cheese salad.  The salad had a pretty thick balsamic vinegar dressing with a generous amount of ricotta cheese.  The dressing was so good I was mopping it up with my crust after finishing the pizza and there were some huge tomato slices on the pizza as well.

This is a cool spot to know about for people who live in the area.

La Celtique 라쎌틱 - Crepes in Sinchon 신촌에 있는 크레이프집

Check out My Youtube Channel!

La Celtique is a small crepe place that is located kind of between Sinchon and Idae near the train station that is located near Yeonsei university.  I have known about this place for ages and never taken the time to go there because the price seemed a little bit high, but as yesterday was Valentine's Day, I decided to treat myself to a crepe.

We ordered two crepes.  One was an apple cinnamon crepe and the other was one that the owner recommended and appeared to be some sort of a seasonal special which was a strawberry crepe.  Both of these crepes were quite similar in their layout.  There was a crepe on the bottom, and in the center a scoop of ice cream surrounded by the fruit.  The apples appeared to have been baked with the cinnamon and there were not too many of them.  The strawberry crepe was quite a bit bigger and also came with chocolate and whipped cream.  I found the strawberry crepe to be quite a bit better than the apple cinnamon one.

Probably the most impressive thing about this place is the atmosphere which feels very European.  The tables are made of wood and the table clothes look like something you would bring to a picnic.  There are all kinds of decorations and flags scattered throughout the place as well.  Additionally, they serve a variety of European beers and wines.  This seems like a very classy place to come and enjoy some European alcohol on a relaxing evening with friends.

I did like this place quite a bit, but I do not feel that I would return to this place personally.  The main issue is that the price is a bit high for what you get.  The crepe was delicious, but there are tons of restaurants in the area that serve similar style things that are larger, cheaper and similar quality.  That being said, if you have a lot of money or it is a special day, this would be a great place to visit.

The Egg and Spoon Race 에그앤스푼레이스 - Idae Brunch 이대에 있는 브런치집

Check out My Youtube Channel!

The Egg and Spoon Race is an American style brunch place that is located near Idae and among other things, they serve American style breakfast food.  This would include a variety of mixed plates that include waffles, pancakes or french toast along side bacon, sausage, eggs and salad.  They also have a variety of omelettes as well as some pasta and risotto dishes.

This restaurant was originally down the street and a tiny place, but they expanded to much larger restaurant that is spitting distance from their original location.  This speaks to the quality of the food and the popularity of the restaurant.  The atmosphere is like a relaxing cafe restaurant hybrid that is excellent for a Sunday morning.

The food in this place is good and for the most part standard price as far as brunch places in the area go which means a little on the expensive side.  I have not been disappointed with anything and as far as the omelettes go I really like the potato omelette.  For the mixed plates, I like the waffle dish which comes with sausage that is actually a hot dog, bacon, an alright salad and scrambled eggs.

The restaurant is now rather large which makes this place great for groups.

Cocoon Crepe Cake 코쿤 - Sinchon Idae 신촌 이대

Cocoon is a small cafe located essentially directly between Idae and Sinchon that serves a variety of different kinds of crepe cakes.  The interior is clean and modern, and it is extremely open.  This is a very classy looking cafe and is a great place to go either with a friend or a significant other.

I have had a variety of the cakes at this place and all of them have been very good.  The cakes are layers of crepe that have cake, chocolate or some other type of filling between the layers.  This last time that I went there we had the chocolate cake which I had never had before and I was pleasantly surprised.  The chocolate cake has an excellent blend of chocolate and crepe that can be found nowhere else.

They told me that their most popular cake is the banana chocolate crepe cake which is what I had the first few times I went to this place with no regrets.  The mix of banana and chocolate provides a unique mix of flavors that really stand out from any other place that I have been to.  The banana is cut incredibly thinly so you can just cut right through it with a fork and eat it like normal cake, but still provides the flavor that it is supposed to.

Cocoon also has a variety of other unique cake flavors such as sweet potato, earl grey and green tea.  They also serve berry, tiramisu and strawberry crepe cakes.

Bro's Burger 브로스버거 - Sinchon / Idae 신촌 / 이대

Bro's Burger is a tiny little burger restaurant situated kind of between Idae and Sinchon.  The restaurant is quite small only having two tables on the floor and a couple more in a loft over the kitchen.  This is not exactly a party place, but a place to go with a friend or a small group when you want a handmade burger.

The burgers are pretty good.  It is one of the better places in the area, however there is not too much competition.  I recommend this place if you are craving a burger, but honestly there is not too much to say about it apart from that and the owner is a super nice guy who will take care of you well.
