Bless Brunch Bar 블레스 브런치바

Vintage objects and low lighting fill this Haebangchon alley spot, which serves brunch by day and turns into a wine bar in the evening. BBB pasta uses a house-simmered tomato sauce with a spicy edge that keeps it from feeling heavy, and the millefeuille lasagna is built from many thin layers. Truffle cream gnocchi, strongly scented with truffle yet not heavy, sits well with a glass of wine. Spinach rigatoni carries a charred note from roasted spinach, and the salmon open sandwich is spread with green-onion cream. Gambas, shrimp cooked in garlic oil, come with baguette for dipping, and baby octopus with butter-roasted potatoes and romesco sauce is another plate. On clear days, the terrace looks down over the alley.
