Banana Grill does great burgers. Along with the Travellers in Bundang, the best I've had in Korea. I noticed a place a couple of stores down from BG called Pancake Story. Has anyone eaten there?

I like the flying pan for brunch.

Edit: The disclaimer is that I am vegetarian and don't know squat about bacon and sausages.

if you mean original pancake story at hannam ogari---- then yeah, been there a couple of times.
incredible eggs benny (shoulders above suji's) and great pancakes/waffles. also does a fryup-esque breakfast. my top two in korea id say.
only caveat is closed on sundays.... Rolling Eyes

Wolfhound does the best breakfast in Itaewon by far.

Gekkos are a close second, though it's not traditional, no beans or fried tomatoes or anything. But quality nonetheless.

Most dissapointing has to go to RMT.

Although I am British, I much prefer American breakfast. I went to the All American Diner and it was good, but not exactly stellar. Not enough bacon for my liking and the sausage patty was a bit on the dry side. Good pancakes though.

Sounds about right -- i usually get the breakfast burrito though, which is stellar.

You HAVE to be kidding.

American bacon and sausages don't even come close to what you get back in blighty.

I also think the breakfast at Dillinger's is also pretty good, though the other food at that place is better.

Overall, you should feel lucky to have such choices considering that you couldn't get jack back in the 1990s.

I love the thin strips of crispy bacon and the pancakes more than I like baked beans. British sausages are good though.

I don't remember the name of it, but the little place where Pita Time used to be in HBC serves a cheap and tasty breakfast and they have regular drip coffee instead of yanking you for an "Americano." I went away completely satisfied for 12,000 Won.

Pancake Story in Hannam is also nice, but what I'd really like is to find some reasonably priced pancake syrup for making my own.

Was it The Hungry Dog? That place looks like it has a good menu but don't order their chili fries. Confused

Our 2 favorite spots in Itaewon are the Flying Pan Blue and Suji's.

The Flying Pan is so far my winner in this category. You will pay a high price, but IMO it is worth it.

Here you will find things that you just can�t get anywhere else in Seoul, for example eggs benedict, corned beef hash or a bagel with lox and cream cheese.


There are actually quite a few places where you can get all of these things.
