About
Cozy Yeonnam-dong wine bar featuring inventive fusion dishes, an open kitchen bar, and a charming terrace.
Tucked into a quiet, atmospheric pocket of Yeonnam-dong, GWEEK brings an adventurous touch to Mapo’s wine bar circuit. Occupying a cozy basement-level space near Hongik University Station, the venue splits its charm between a coveted outdoor terrace and an intimate indoor dining room bordered by an open-kitchen counter and small tables. On crisper evenings, the terrace stays inviting with thoughtfully placed heaters and soft lap blankets, creating an idyllic nook for late afternoon lingering or candlelit evening dates. The kitchen maneuvers through vibrant, cross-cultural small plates that pair effortlessly with a curated glass of wine or an icy mocktail. The standout signature is the cold cilantro pasta, a refreshing, herb-packed dish that leaves nearly every table considering a second order. Heat and depth arrive with the sambal lasagna, an inventive riff that anchors classic comfort food with Southeast Asian chili funk. Lighter savory bites include roasted cauliflower, crisp french fries, and a fragrant cumin toast that delivers an earthy, polarizing punch. For heartier appetites, the kitchen poaches white fish in a rich pool of spinach butter, leaving behind a fragrant broth practically begging for bread. Those craving heavier centerpiece fare can look forward to beef wellington, a showpiece dish that requires advance reservations via CatchTable. With a mandatory one-drink-per-person policy, the beverage program balances classic reds and whites with sweet non-alcoholic options, ensuring both wine lovers and sober diners find a match for the bold pantry staples on the plate. Service is personal, hands-on, and accommodating, with the host often bridging the kitchen and tables with unscripted hospitality—sometimes even offering treats like home-cultivated Shine Muscat grapes. Whether pulling up a stool to watch the kitchen work or sitting outside as dusk settles, GWEEK crafts a distinct, casual dinner and drinks experience that turns walk-ins into fast regulars.
