Bonjour Sugoi 봉쥬르스고이

Bonjour plus sugoi: the name sums up a kitchen that runs Japanese ingredients through French bistro sauces and techniques, a short walk from Itaewon's Gyeongnidan-gil. The mackerel bo-zushi, pressed sushi, is the signature, rich and nutty without any fishy edge, and mentaiko cream pasta folds cod roe into a French-style cream sauce. Hanwoo 1++ gyukatsu and steak cover the meat side, while sashimi and small plates rotate with the seafood season. Highballs, wine and sake are poured to match. Weekend visits usually need a booking through Catchtable or a similar app, since the wood-toned room has only a bar counter and a handful of tables.
