A week or so ago I went to Kate’s Kitchen Brunch and Lounge in Itaewon with a few friends. Let me tell you that Kate’s deco exterior matches the swanky vibe inside. We really ended up there by happenstance since the corner bistro would most likely not have the space for our party.
Lucky for us because Kate’s proved to be a lovely experience. Of course when one encounters a lovely experience one should be ready to pay those lovely prices and on that score Kate has the check mark firmly in the box. It’s not really that unreasonable for dinner, but if you’re in the mood for a quick casual bite then you may want to bid Kate adieu for another night.
Our group guzzled Sangria while Michael and I couldn’t resist the menu and forged ahead for dinner. Kate’s features various European and Italian dishes. The set menu for lunch would probably be the best bet.
Doesn’t the water glass reflection resemble some strange alien face? Maybe there truly is something in the water.
My sweet pumpkin soup dazzled the taste buds and the rest of the mean didn’t disappoint, culminating in a chocolate mousse that must have fell from heaven above.
Kate has two locations: One in Itaewon and the other in kangnam. Check their website for exact directions and operating times.
UPDATE: Sadly Kate’s Kitchen in Itaewon is no more but the Gangnam location may still be kicking.
I’ve been and I liked it too. Good mussels.
