The taste and quality of food at this “authentic French” dining experience is a testament to the bait and switch culture that is becoming more prevalent in pseudo fine dining around Seoul.

This location has a 100,000 won reservation cancellation fee.

A mandatory wine purchase with any dinner.

Two selections for their dinner course, 110,000 or 130,000. But what isn’t shown in nearly all of the old reviews or images, is that they have moved to a up charge on nearly every item on their menu. There is only a single entree doesn’t have an up charge. So while at many fine dining establishments it’s expected to up charge for certain items, nearly their entire menu is anywhere between an additional 18,000 or 36,000 per item. Ona Friday night, want to ask for their non-up charged dinner special on the menu? We were told, there’s no dinner special available.

Want a warm appetizer? One non-uncharged item.

You might expect fresh crusty baguette slices or equally satisfying bread. Wrong again. We were given hard, twists of bread that actually took effort to pull apart into pieces. The expected carafe of their signature French onion soup? Perhaps 200ml at best.

The mandatory wine: I went for the only red you can select by the glass, the Stellaris Campus. 23,000 for a miserly 100ml pour. This is a wine you can buy an entire bottle for 35 euro. 7.5 pours out of a 58,000 won bottle…

We had multiple people sitting around us vocally complain about the up charging, asking what the point of the “set price” even is, when maybe 5 items out of 22 aren’t an up charge.

On old images, you can find that it used to be 10 out of 22 menu items were an up charge, but either they are under hard times, or found they can gouge their clientele.

Either way, avoid this nonsense and go somewhere worth your money.

Had a great dinner here! Classic and high quality French food – go for the pate en croute, salmon gravlax, pepper steak and profiteroles. Very attentive service and cozy atmosphere! Only minus is that the wine list is quite limited and a bit pricey.

Good food. A bit pricey though. Overall I’d probably recommend this for people enjoying chic dining or for special occasions but definitely not a place I’d frequent too much.

Overall, price and quality don’t match. We were served canned foie grass and the glass of wine…I got served less than a glass. The duck was too sweet. The toilet was dirty…! And the butter…didn’t taste like butter.

Very disappointing experience!

We spent more than 700.000 KRW which equals roughly € 500,00 and what we got was basically Business Class Airline Food.

We are from California and live in Europe and have been to the Original Bistro Yountville many times but unfortunately this restaurant in Seoul in just a cheap knock off.

1. Waiters don’t offer anything to drink, after 20 min we had to ask if we could get water and wine.

2. Appetizer
Salad with poached egg:
Egg was cold, so was the bacon
Salmon Salad
Salmon at room temperature
Flavors just mediocre

3. Main course
Steak and fries
Both were cold and we had to return all plates

4. Waiters just serve the food, not once they would ask if you actually liked it

5. Empty glasses and plates are left on the table until you ask if they could please clear the table

Overall a very disappointing experience….especially for 750.000 KRW and we just had one bottle of housewife.

My only explanation for all these great reviews is that most guests have no idea what to expect from a French 5 star restaurant.

My advice to all Europeans who expect a French dining experience:
Don’t waste your money on this, rather have a Korean BBQ!

This is a copy of a copy of a French bistro; namely Bouchon Bistro in Yountville, Napa wine country, run by Keller of French Laundry as a more casual eatery. First, the food was fantastic. Foie gras puff amuse bouche, mackerel rillette and bread, seafood plate (with oysters and real mignonette sauce; which is rare to find in Korea), escargot, canard de bigarade, chateaubriand rossini with foie gras and black truffles, dessert of fromage (wonderful AOP brie and comte; also rare to find a cheese selection in Korea) and savarin were all spot on. Wine list had a nice selection and reasonable (for Korea, once again) and they had a nice muscat to go with the dinner; corkage is a rather hefty 50,000, but bearable. Second, however, they lost one star because they charge 100,000 to sit in a room — I’m contemplating booking a room on NYE, and the room is available, but may not because of this fee. I can understand if they charge this if the room is booked for 2 people, but I’m bringing 7 and would spend considerably. Last evening’s set menu for 2 (with all the bells and whistles), a nice bottle of Chassagne-Montrachet, corkage, and 2 glasses of muscat, ran just shy of 550,000. And I don’t like the 40,000 prepayment that needs to be made when booking a table — although I understand they are doing this to because people cancel, but this is so rare in Korea. I will definitely go back as they serve some of the best bistro cuisine in Korea, but these things might hinder me from going back more frequently. Can’t have everything you want I suppose.
