City Guide Restaurant Reviews: The Original Pancake House (Seoul)
The Original Pancake House, an American brunch chain with locations across the United States, has now come to Seoul. The interior is reminiscent of its roots, with diner-style tables and black-and-white photographs of Portland, Oregon (the chain’s hometown) on the walls. The restaurant features a diverse roster of pancakes, topped with bananas, chocolate chips, strawberries or Hawaiian syrup.
City Guide Photo Gallery: Burger B (Seoul)
Burger B’s delicious pubfare, as well as a decent drinks list that includes IPAs on draft, makes it a go-to place in the trendy Hongdae neighborhood. Utensils and condiments arrive in a metal bucket, and the background music ranges from ’90s pop music to the Black Keys. We recommend Burger B’s signature dish, the Ultimate Burger, whose burger comes with an addictive truffle aoli, thin-cut fries and a shot of vanilla milkshake.
City Guide Restaurant Review: Cafe Tokyoloose (Busan)
Cafe Tokyoloose is located in the busy, central neighborhood of Seomyeon. The cafe’s large, well-lit space features decor reminiscent of a hipster parlor room, with lace doilies as place mats and asymmetrically placed ornamental frames on the walls. Be sure to order dessert — beautifully plated treats such as chocolate cake or lemon tart are well-worth a try.
