Food Scene
It's one of the hottest brunch restaurant in Korea.
All the menus are delicious and price is not that expensive. Very reasonable. The interior is also sweet and cozy.
This 'CAFE MAMAS' opens at 07:30am(Mon-Fri), 08:00am(Sat-Sun) and closes at 22:00pm everyday.
I ate almost all the menu of CAFE MAMAS, and these were all quite delicious. So I can't recommend particular menu.
For reference, my favorite menus are 'Honey Camembert Cheese Panini(8,900 KRW)', Club Sandwich(8,500 KRW)', 'Pumpkin Soup(6,500)', 'Ricotta Cheese Salad(12,800 KRW)'.
They also have 'Morning Set' (07:30am - 09:30am) everyday except holidays. So if you want some discount, I recommend you to go there in that time.
