Just under the shadow of Namsan Tower is a great little restaurant with Western cuisine known as Indigo. Indigo has an eclectic menu offering a wide variety of western breakfasts, salads, sandwiches, pastas, deserts, and even a sushi bar. One of the great aspects of this place is their brunch menu featuring Western style breakfasts which are served all day. The International Breakfast will cost you 10,000 won and comes with 2 eggs, 2 deli slices of ham, 2 pieces of bacon, and 2 mini waffles with whip cream, blueberries, and maple syrup. If you’re still hungry you can choose from a decent list of side orders which go for 1,000 won each. An entire page of their menu is dedicated to sandwiches ranging in price from 3,000 to 9,000 won. Some of these are the traditional cheese burger, a BLT, and the feta cheese & olive sandwich which each cost 7,000 Won. If you’re a pesto fan I recommend the chicken pesto & mozzarella sandwich for 9,000 won.
Looks delicious!
Don’t eat meat? Indigo offers some vegetarian friendly items which include salads from 7,000 to 10,000 won, a veggie scrambler for 9,000 won, and a Portabello burger topped with spinach and a slice of cheese for 9,000 won. The Portabello burger, like their other sandwiches is served with a half plate of ridge cut golden french fries. And to top it all off they provide a full basket of condiments to complement your food. The menu doesn’t stop there. Pastas cost between 8,000 to 12,000 Won. Some of the desserts offered include pies, brownies, and chocolate cake. The portions are adequate to satisfy the average eater, so unless you’re a large rugby player you should be fine. Not hungry? You can always stop by for a beer, a glass of wine, or a cup of coffee from their beverage menu. Although the overwhelming majority of the seating is inside, there is a small outdoor terrace which has a few tables where you can enjoy the weather. This little cove is also a great place to escape for a cigarette since Indigo recently changed to a smoke free establishment. The service is quick, friendly, and attentive. Every time I have eaten there there were at least three cheerful staff on duty, all sufficiently bilingual in Korean and English to facilitate the high volume of expats who patronize the Haebangcheon area. Overall Indigo has tasty food and you shouldn’t have trouble finding something that suits your palette. Their friendly staff create a friendly and social atmosphere in which you can feel comfortable enjoying a meal, relaxing with a drink, working on your laptop with their wireless internet, or just reading a book. To get to Indigo take the brown line to Noksapyeon Station. Leave the station from exit 2, head down the hill, pass the brown kimchi pots on the left, and it will be about 200 meters ahead on your right below the Orange Tree Bar. Written by Kevin Brenneman
