|
|
Does anyone know if this restaurant has closed recently, or if not could they give me reliable directions?
I tired to find it today following some sketchy directions I found on another website, to no avail.
The directions I had were to go to Sinchon subway stop, head towards Yongsei University (I took exit 3), and at the intersection with the pharmacies (?) take a left into the alley, the restaurant is on your left.
Can anyone do better than this? I want me some good French cooking!
Thanks in advance. |

Your directions seem correct, from what I remember. It is, however, on the second floor, above some kimbap/sushi chain restaurant. I, too, hope it's not closed, because that was good food for a good price. And it's so darn hard to find French food in Korea (outside of Itaewon, of course). |

From the station, walk down the main street towards Yonsei and turn left on the last street before going into Yonsei (there is a Starbucks on the corner; if you're familiar with Mike's Cabin, walk as if you are going there).
Go down one block and look up, I think it's on the third floor. It might even be in the same building as the bright yellow french cafe. |

When I went there in September, it was closed. I had been once before and wanted to go again before I left Korea.
I had front-of-house Damien's card and the cell phone number on his card no longer worked. Really sad, I wonder what happened to them?
I am sure they were very involved in Koroot (for adoptees), so you might be able to find out what happened to them by contacting Koroot? |

Le Petit Paris is no more, and has been replaced by a fortuneteller's coffee shop. I've heard co-owner Damian has returned to France for good, and that the chef Matthieu is now giving cooking lessons. That place had problems because the chef was so lazy; he'd open or close the place when he wanted to. |

Interesting.
The space that was their "kitchen" was sooooooooooo tiny, I remember. The food took a while to come out, but it was very good stuff. |

The location was bad because Sinchon is mostly frequented by young people or students who don't have the dough to drop large.
And like I said, I remember it was hit-or-miss whether the restaurant would be open on any given day. You simply CANNOT run an eatery like that. |
