A few weeks ago my husband and I were exploring Haebongchon which is right outside the Yongsan Army Post, near Itaewon.
We passed this bistro...
I took a picture so we would remember to check this place out some time.
I noticed Dan at Seoul Eat recently visited NOA Bistro and you can read his review here.
I think I'll try out their brunch sometime soon.
Past Itaewon, in an area called Haebonchon (follow the road with the kimchi pots all lined up again the Army Post wall), we found a burger joint that had a veggie burger!
Woot Woot!
For a burger joint, they had a pretty extensive menu. Burgers of all varieties, wings, brunch items, appetizers, and a long list of wines, tap beers and cocktails all at pretty fair prices.
(Rum and coke, $5,000KRW Hoegarden beer on tap $7,000KRW)
They bake their own buns and use organic vegetables among other highlights.
My dining partner (a meat eater), started with the mild wings.
He said they tasted like they had been marinated, then possible basted and fried. Crispy skin on the outside. I know he will be going back for more!
I got Jacoby's veggie burger.
This burger, was....magical. FILLED with flavor and texture. Juicy. The base of it is red beans. And it had veggies mixed into the patty, and the fresh veggies piled on top were a great addition.
If I had the power, I would bestow Jacoby's Burgers with a gold medal for Excellence in Veggie Burger Craftsmanship.
My dining partner go to the Onion Fresco Bacon Burger.
Twas a masterpiece.
My meat-eating dining partner had this to say:
"The beef had good flavor, was juicy and all of the toppings came together very well"
