I had a year-end gathering at Grill Demi-Glace in Chungmuro.

It’s located on the first floor of a hotel.

The atmosphere here looked great. I visited once a long time ago and couldn’t make it back for a while, but it seems they’ve moved and are doing very well.

Seafood Salad

It was delicious. They really know what they’re doing…

Cream Pasta

I was a bit surprised when some authentic Italian came out. The taste was top-notch, of course, but it seems they pursue a variety of flavors rather than just being a standard Western restaurant. I think it was even more so because it was a day for special year-end menus.

Braised Duckja (Flatfish)

The size of the Duckja was insane. The meat is creamy. I can’t believe such delicious Korean food is served at a Western restaurant…

Kkakdugi (Diced Radish Kimchi)

I feel like this flavor actually pairs quite well with Italian food…

Morning Bread and Potato Salad

This is the signature menu of this place. It’s a flavor that completely fills your mouth…

Grilled Abalone

They use incredibly large abalones.

Tomato Eggplant Gratin

This is exactly the kind of thing that makes a great wine snack.

Cream Shrimp Gratin

This was delicious too.

Fried Shrimp

A staple of Western restaurants. With shrimp of this size, it’s impossible for it not to be tasty. Plump and juicy.

Steamed Skate

I wonder why another such delicious menu item appeared…

Baekgyeong Scented Rice Wine – Christmas Special

I brought this thinking it might pair with Western food like wine, and it was quite good. The year-end special bottle shape is pretty, and it has a luxurious taste and aroma. However, I do think a drier Baekgyeong White might have been better for the greasy Western dishes.

Hambak Steak

Another staple of Western restaurants. The demi-glace sauce was delicious.

Yuxiang Donggong (Stir-fried Mushrooms and Shrimp)

Suddenly Chinese food… The chef isn’t just good at Western food; they’re great at everything, whether it’s Korean or Chinese. With this level of skill, they could probably go on Culinary Class Wars…

Cremiel’s Stollen

I’ve tried various Stolens, but I think Cremiel’s Stollen is the best of the year. That’s why it’s not easy to get Cremiel’s Stollen every year. It has a strong cinnamon scent, is packed with nuts, feels a bit like apple pie, and is intuitively delicious.

Cremiel Stollen

The design is pretty, so it would make a great gift.

Interior

It has a clean hotel restaurant vibe.

Wine

A very hotel-like atmosphere.

The chef at Demi-Glace is incredibly skilled, so I was able to enjoy a truly delicious meal.
