250m from Hongdae Station. A South African meat pie specialist in Yeonnam-dong near Gyeongui Line Forest Park, operating as a sister shop to Braai Republic, the well-known South African barbecue restaurant in Itaewon. The streamlined menu centers on pies and sausage rolls. The signature lamb pie features thick-cut lamb packed generously inside a flaky crust, with a mild, pleasant lamb aroma rather than an overpowering gaminess. The seasoning is deliberately understated, letting the quality of the ingredients speak for themselves - a notable departure from heavier American-style meat pies. The chorizo sausage roll wraps spiced pork in thin, crisp pastry for a clean kick of heat, pairing especially well with the mash potatoes on the side. Lamb cutlets are tender and pair excellently with the house gravy. For dessert, the peppermint crisp tart layers refreshing mint flavor within cream alongside chewy caramel pieces. The compact basement space seats a limited number of guests, with the chef handling both cooking and service. English communication is available as the kitchen is run by a South African chef.
