A Charming Stroll Along Jeongdong-gil

Oddhaus - Garden Terrace Brunch & Wine Bar at 100-year Cultural Heritage
Jeongdong-gil is always a pleasant street to walk, especially when paired with brunch at a charming restaurant tucked into a historic building.
Ode House, located along the Deoksugung Stonewall Walkway, blends vintage interiors with a calm, elegant atmosphere that suits both daytime brunch and evening wine.
This visit focused on a relaxed weekend brunch with friends, enjoying unique pasta dishes and the quiet charm of one of Seoul’s most atmospheric neighborhoods.
A Gentle Walk from City Hall to Jeongdong-gil
Walking along Jeongdong-gil always feels delightful.
If you get off at City Hall Station and stroll past the Deoksugung Stonewall Walkway, the pace of the city naturally slows.
It’s the kind of street where historic scenery and calm energy set the tone even before you reach your destination.
Ode House Inside a 100-Year-Old Historic Building
Ode House is located on the first floor of a charming 100-year-old modern cultural heritage building.
The building, formerly the Shin-A Ilbo annex, already carries a quiet elegance before you even step inside.
From the outside, the historic façade blends seamlessly with the surrounding streets of Jeongdong.
Reservation Tips and Seating Options
I visited with friends for a weekend brunch and made a reservation in advance through Catch Table.
Reservations via Catch Table are available only for the Handak Hall and Archi Hall.
Private rooms accommodate six to ten people and require a minimum order of 200,000 KRW, so those need to be reserved by phone.
Planning ahead is recommended, especially on weekends.
Vintage Interior That Matches the Building’s History
The interior of Ode House is spacious and thoughtfully designed.
Vintage furniture and carefully chosen decor blend beautifully with the historic structure.
The atmosphere feels warm and refined, making it easy to settle in and enjoy a long brunch conversation.
A Brunch Menu Known for Creative Pasta
True to its reputation as a pasta-focused restaurant, Ode House offers some truly unique dishes.
Fern pasta and seaweed pasta stand out, alongside more familiar brunch-friendly options.
The menu feels thoughtfully curated rather than overwhelming.
What We Ordered for Brunch
We ordered the seaweed pasta, ragu pasta, French toast, and Americano.
Each dish arrived well-presented and satisfying, both visually and in flavor.
The seaweed pasta, in particular, felt distinctive without being unfamiliar.
A Recommended Brunch Spot Near City Hall and Gwanghwamun
For anyone searching for a brunch spot near City Hall, Gwanghwamun, or Jeongdong, Ode House is an easy recommendation.
The balance of location, atmosphere, and food makes it suitable for both casual meetups and special occasions.
Looking Forward to a Spring Evening with Wine
I already plan to revisit Ode House for a glass of wine after a warm spring walk along Jeongdong-gil.
It feels like the kind of place that changes mood beautifully from day to night.
