Seoul<\/a>, particularly those who appreciate delicious French toast and a welcoming atmosphere. <\/p>\nOverview<\/h2>\n
This post details a visit to John & Dawson’s Yeonnam main branch, a charming semi-basement cafe divided into two halls. Despite initial concerns about the cold weather and potential crowds after a snowfall, the author was fortunate to get a table immediately upon arrival. The cafe offers a unique ambiance with antique display cabinets and stylish decor. The highlight of the visit was the French toast, described as exceptionally delicious with a crispy, caramelized exterior and a moist, chiffon-like interior. The accompanying Rooibos tea was also noted as a perfect complement to the sweet dessert. The author strongly recommends the French toast, even comparing it to their favorite salt bread and declaring it the best French toast they’ve ever had. They also mention that a new branch has opened in Gwanghwamun. <\/p>\n
Travel tips<\/h2>\n
* **Timing is key:** Arriving shortly after the 12 PM opening allowed the author to secure a table without a wait, despite the cafe quickly filling up.
\n* **Savor the French toast:** The French toast is served with Maldon salt, which the staff recommends using sparingly to create a delightful sweet and salty contrast after consuming more than half of the dish.
\n* **Consider the new Gwanghwamun branch:** If you’re in the Gwanghwamun area, there’s a newly opened John & Dawson branch to explore.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
