The Flying Pan is a quite well-known brunch spot in Itaewon. The quality of food here speaks for itself and that’s why you will always find a group of people waiting for a table if you pay them a visit on the weekend. Despite it’s popularity it’s still a reasonably well-kept secret to lots of foreigners, especially those from out-of-town. This is one of, if not the best place, to get brunch in Itaewon.
The menu’s are listed on cute faux newspapers, which I find especially quaint. The menu consists of traditional brunch fare, eggs, pancakes, sandwiches, salads, and desserts etc.
I ordered the Flying pan breakfast 16,000. I have had it before and knew it was good. Luckily it lived up to all my expectations and was even better than I remembered. The potatoes were coated in a glorious dressing, I could have eaten so many more. The pesto toast was well done and full of flavour. The poached egg was cooked to perfection and there was a generous amount of mushrooms on the plate. As well as all this there was also some spinach and hummus. Poached eggs on toast with mushrooms cooked in butter is my favourite breakfast. With eggs Florentine coming a close second. I rarely get the chance to eat a mushroom laden breakfast here in Korea so this one really hit the spot. Everything on my plate was perfect. I died and went to heaven!
