7 brunch rooms in Seoul we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Seoul | Brunch across every city.
Brunch in Seoul borrows freely, mixing imported cafe culture with the city's own coffee obsession. Bills in Gangnam and The Original Pancake House in Apgujeong cover the all-day plates, while London Bagel Museum in Anguk and Tartine Bakery in Hannam lean on the bakery side. Anthracite Coffee in Hapjeong, Fritz Coffee Company in Dohwa and Cafe Onion in Seongsu show how the morning here often starts with the roast rather than the eggs.
