Enjoying a Steak at Kuchina Onesto, a Great Restaurant in Songridan-gil!

Kuchina Onesto, a great restaurant in Songridan-gil

Enjoying a steak!

From the end of the year to the beginning of the new year, I really have a lot of plans..! Haha I had wanted to visit Kuchina Onesto, a great restaurant in Songridan-gil, for a long time!

I had been curious to go here because I heard it has a nice atmosphere and the steak is good, so I finally got to visit.

Kuchina Onesto 21-24 Baekjegobun-ro 41-gil, Songpa-gu, Seoul (Street address: Songpa-dong 12-5 Kuchina Onesto) Kuchina Onesto business hours Lunch: Every day from 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM Break time: From 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM Dinner: From 5:30 PM to 10:00 PM

It was close to Seokchon Station and easy to find since it was on the main road. A great restaurant in Songridan-gil! The food was good, of course, but the atmosphere was also exactly my style.

Kuchina Onesto was bigger than I expected. And since it really is that season, there were a lot of people too! I heard it hasn’t been open for very long, so... If it’s already become known as a popular restaurant in Songridan-gil, how are you supposed to get in...?

Also, I’m not sure if they do live music or something similar every Saturday night, but there was a small signboard in front of the restaurant.

It said it runs from 8:00 PM to 9:30 PM. It seems like it would be nice to come by sometime later!

And since it’s an open kitchen, you could see it from outside.

The red lighting gave it a warm feeling, and it seemed to make the atmosphere even better at Kuchina Onesto in Songridan-gil.

First, the bread before the meal came out. It seems like the appetizer bread is not always the same kind. When I looked up Kuchina Onesto in Songridan-gil, there was a different bread in other posts, lol. Still, warm bread dipped in balsamic vinegar and olive oil is always the best.

I ordered four dishes, and this one is the seared scallops with ratatouille. (13,000 won)

The scallops on top of the umami-packed ratatouille were such a perfect match!!!! This was a great appetizer to whet the appetite.

This is the truffle pasta (18,000 won) I knew there were many kinds of pasta noodles, but this was my first time trying such wide noodles!!!!!!

It was a pasta where you could really smell the truffle, and the cream sauce was rich too. It suited my taste well, but I think it could be a love-it-or-hate-it flavor.

Chanterelle pasta Tomato pasta with chanterelle mushrooms (17,000 won)

For this one, you can choose between cream or tomato! Since I ordered the truffle pasta, I chose tomato for one of the pasta dishes.

I wondered what chanterelle mushrooms were, and they are an ingredient not often used for food in Korea, but in France they are used as a premium edible mushroom, and they are also used in pasta dishes!

The last dish to come out was the Kuchina Onesto steak! It’s a steak served with Australian tenderloin and red wine and balsamic sauce. (30,000 won)

From pasta to steak, the prices were reasonable, and I ended up eating something even better than I expected. The steak was cooked just right, and there wasn’t much of a meat smell either!

Having steak made it feel even more like a party, for sure,, haha, I ate well at this great restaurant in Songridan-gil!
