Mint

KMK: Jeju Island | Mint Restaurant Phoenix Resort

Food Restaurants

My birthday lunch took place at Mint restaurant on Phoenix Island. Let me say that the atmosphere of mint is pitch perfect. The restaurant has an open airy feel with a sky high ceiling and a huge floor to ceiling windows that showcase the deep blue sea byond as well as the craggy seacoast. The interior is serene with yellow woods, browns and whites off set by strategic greenery, seashells and and bottled sand.

With all of that you don’t even need food. I’d have been content to just recline in a chair and watch the waves in the distance or the towering sunrise peak. Yet, food accompanies the experience and if you decide to dine at Mint I suggest the lunch set menu.

Here is Ian’s Orum Set:

Orum(오름) set                              29,000원

– 감귤 살사와 문어
(Mandarin Salsa with an Octopus)

– 발사믹향 버섯 탕수
(Balsamic Fried Mushroom with Fruit Sauce)

– 산마구이 샐러드
(Grilled Pacific Saury with Salad)

– A. 안심 스테이크(호주산)
(Tenderloin Steak)(Australian Beef)

B. 마늘먹은 오겹살 스테이크
(Grilled Ogyep Pork Steak with Garlic)

– 연두부 잔치국수
(Hot Noodle Soup with a Soft Bean Curd)

(Dessert)

I had the Badang Set:

Badang(바당) set                          35,000원

– 부채가재 남방스께와 단호박 퓨레
(Fried Slip Lobster with Smashed Pumpkin)

– 굴 라자냐
(Oyster Lasagne)

– 해산물과 사시미
(Seafood and Sasimi)

– 그릴야채 샐러드
(Grilled Vegetables and Salad)

– A 메로 스테이크
(Patagonian toothfish Steak)

B 안심 스테이크
(Tenderloin Steak)

– 부채가재 소면
(noodle Soup with Slip Lobster)

– 디저트
(Dessert)

The presentation of each dish is beyond fantastic. However overall my opionion was mixed. If the prices were a bit lower I would’ve been more pleased, but since they weren’t I would probably only go back for wine or coffee and the view. I do want to say that the toothfish steak was absolutely fab as well as the beginning dish and salad.

So, if you’re at the phoenix resort then Mint is not to be missed go for drinks and appetizers and take in that gorgeous view.
