Butcelli House 부첼리하우스

Butcelli House is a Hanwoo steakhouse at 122-1 Dokseodang-ro in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. The beef list is organized by cut, including chateaubriand, inner ribeye, ribeye cap, striploin, tenderloin, ribeye, tongue, and chuck flap. Ordering several cuts for one table separates tenderloin and ribeye sections from tongue and chuck flap instead of presenting Hanwoo as one undifferentiated steak. Sides include potato chips, potato-puree gratin, and creamed spinach, as well as asparagus with unsalted butter and salt and green beans with bacon and olive oil. The sides likewise divide potatoes, leafy vegetables, asparagus, and beans into separate preparations around the beef. Pan con tomate is composed of bread, garlic, tomato, olive oil, and salt. A dish of domestic snails combines them with Hanwoo tenderloin and Gruyere, while live Canadian lobster is paired with cheese potato puree and dill. One appetizer salad contains truffle-oil tomato, Manchego and Taleggio cheeses, San Daniele ham, grapefruit, orange, and mushroom. Salmon is cured for ten hours with lime, lemon, orange, and sea salt. Grilled shrimp is served with fried pork skin, a sous-vide egg, and bisque sauce, and burrata is combined with balsamic and San Daniele ham. The lunch course proceeds through bread, cured salmon, salad and cheese potato, steak with potato-puree gratin, pasta or risotto, brownie, and coffee or tea. It moves from cured seafood and salad to beef, then a starch course and dessert rather than serving the steak as the only stage. A la carte pastas include mixed clam spaghetti, shrimp bisque, truffle and mushroom, and Hanwoo with fresh tomato puree. One risotto uses shrimp, Icheon rice, and paprika powder; another uses truffle, porcini powder, shiitake chips, and Parmigiano Reggiano.
