A Birthday Dinner to Remember: BLT Steak at JW Marriott Dongdaemun
Hello, it's Bbung Madam!
I stayed in an Executive Room at the JW Marriott Dongdaemun for two nights, and this is the 4th part of my review! Haha.
I was really satisfied with the lounge and the room itself, but since the theme of this staycation was my birthday, I was especially looking forward to my birthday dinner.
This year's birthday dinner was at BLT Steak, located on the 2nd floor of the JW Marriott Dongdaemun!
JW Marriott Dongdaemun Square Seoul BLT Steak
Location: 2nd Floor, 279 Cheonggyecheon-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul
Hours: Daily 11:30 AM - 10:00 PM (Break time available)
Discount Tip: 10% discount with Hyundai Card RED
BLT Steak is a New York-style high-end steakhouse. The classy and sophisticated interior is impressive even from the outside.
I've been to many famous steak places in Korea, so I had high expectations for this one too. I'll compare it to V Steak and Wolfgang's in the conclusion at the end. Hehe.
The sunlight shining through the large windows enhances the atmosphere.
The evening atmosphere with the Cheonggyecheon Stream view is just romantic! Hehehehehe.
Here's the cutlery set up on the table.
Many people order the course menu, but we chose to order separately.
The main dish is definitely the Porterhouse (T-bone) Steak! Haha.
Porterhouse 800g: ₩260,000
Jumbo Shrimp and Lobster Cocktail: ₩49,000
Red Wine: ₩200,000
Here is the BLT Steak wine list.
Desert Wind Red Wine
A Washington wine blended with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
For the starter, we had the Lavosh Platter + Smoked Salmon Sauce.
The texture is like dried filefish, but the sauce is so delicious!
BLT's signature, Popover Bread.
It's much bigger than regular bread, so it grabbed everyone's attention as soon as it came out on the table! LOL
BLT Steak's popover is crispy on the outside and fluffy like a cloud on the inside ☁️
It's so soft and savory when you spread butter on it while it's warm... You have to put a lot of butter on it! The cheese melting inside adds to the flavor.
A pretty famous winery product from Washington State.
It's a wine with a rich fruity aroma and soft tannins, making it a great match for steak. Really delicious!
The lobster and jumbo shrimp we ordered as an appetizer arrived.
The plating on ice gave a definite feeling of freshness ❄️ It goes well with the wine when served with the tangy cocktail sauce, and the shrimp are so plump, the texture is fantastic.
It really stimulated my appetite, preparing me for the main meal. Hehe.
The main event of the day, Porterhouse (T-bone) Steak 800g
It's really big, right? LOL
Porterhouse 800g & 3 Sauces ✨
The price was ₩260,000, which was enough for two people to share. Haha.
It's dry-aged, so it has a deep flavor and is full of juice.
Completely crispy on the outside and moist on the inside... Such a touching taste!
They also provide different kinds of salt.
Originally, you can only choose one sauce per main menu item,
but the manager specially allowed us to choose two.
Plus, they even gave us a blue cheese sauce as a service,
so we were able to enjoy a set of 3 sauces! LOL
Peppercorn Sauce: A rich and tangy taste that pairs fantastically with the steak.
Whole Grain Mustard: A clean taste that cuts through the greasiness of the meat.
Blue Cheese Sauce: The rich flavor adds a touch of luxury to the steak.
The most memorable part of this JW Marriott Dongdaemun staycation was the BLT Steak dinner.
From the rich flavor of the Porterhouse steak to the perfect pairing with red wine~! Every moment felt special. I was so happy! ><
If you're looking for a proper hotel dining experience for an anniversary or special occasion, I highly recommend BLT Steak!
Enjoying an appetizer, 800g of Porterhouse, and a bottle of wine came out to about ₩500,000 in total.
It's not too surprising for hotel dining prices,
but I got a 10% discount by using my Hyundai Card RED!!!!!!!!!1
In the end, I was able to pay around ₩450,000, which is a ₩50,000 discount.
If you're planning on visiting a hotel restaurant, I highly recommend taking advantage of the Hyundai Card RED benefits.
Personally, I prefer V Steak over V Steak and Wolfgang's, and after visiting BLT this time, I feel like it's a little more modern than V Steak? LOL. Less fancy than Wolfgang's... Personally, I liked it!
