A great brunch spot in Cheongdam-dong, known for its harmonious ambiance and charming turquoise exterior!

MMN (Cheongdam, Seoul) is a brunch spot I visited to satisfy my hunger after a long day of work. I went in without knowing much about the place, but soon discovered it’s a well-known spot that’s even appeared on TV. Perhaps that’s why the food turned out to be even more delicious than I expected.

Space

The turquoise exterior is perfect for photos, and there’s plenty of seating space inside.

The sophisticated turquoise exterior stood out from the surrounding scenery, instantly making me feel like I had entered a new space. Even though I was in Seoul, it felt like I had been transported to Italy or Paris for a moment. The interior and exterior seating were well-arranged for the store’s size, allowing me to enjoy my meal comfortably. Even if there aren’t enough regular seats, those dining alone can easily sit at the bar and enjoy their meal.

Menu

The carrot cake with pink cream, fruit-topped toast, and appetizing sandwiches all looked tempting, but there were two main reasons I came to this restaurant! First, I could finally enjoy onion soup, a dish I love but find hard to find elsewhere. Second, the signature Greek chicken, a unique offering not found in many places, piqued my curiosity. After researching, I couldn't resist trying these two dishes. So, without hesitation, I ordered the onion soup and Greek chicken, paired with a refreshing grapefruit black tea.

Onion Soup  9,000 won

MMN's onion soup is served with warm bread soaked in the broth, and generously packed with onions. While onion soup is typically more watery, the addition of the bread makes it more satisfying and rich, filling any gaps in texture and concentration. What stood out about MMN’s onion soup was its deep, savory flavor, perfectly balanced with sweetness. I found myself savoring each bite with admiration throughout the meal. Even now, I can't stop thinking about the incredible onion soup from MMN.

Greek Chicken  11,000 won

MMN's signature Greek chicken dish features tender chicken breast topped with creamy Greek yogurt, served on a warm croissant and garnished with fragrant "moon" herbs. Though simple in its components, the combination of the herbs, chicken, and croissant creates a unique and delightful flavor profile. The lingering scent around my mouth made it all the more memorable, leaving a lasting impression that I won’t soon forget.

Grapefruit Black Tea (iced)  6,500 won

The drink I had wasn't particularly memorable. While there was a hint of juice in the tea, its flavor was fairly ordinary. I heard that MMN's signature drink is their MMN Coffee, which comes topped with a Madeleine placed on an Einspanner. If you're only going to order one drink, I would highly recommend trying the MMN Coffee instead.

It's a brunch restaurant that captivates with its high visual appeal and enticing aromas, leaving a lasting impression and a strong desire to revisit.

MMN may not be in the most convenient location, but it’s a restaurant that knows exactly what will attract visitors. The signature Greek chicken, fragrant with moon herbs, the carrot cake topped with pink cream, and the MMN coffee with a Madeleine on top are all small yet unique touches that make this place stand out. These distinctive details, hard to find in other places, left a strong impression and made me eager to return. The turquoise exterior adds to the overall charm and sets a positive mood from the moment you arrive. If I have the chance, I’ll definitely visit again to enjoy the vibrant colors and the captivating herb scents.
