Greeting from AREX :)
Today, I will introduce to you a bakery that started in 1979
and has transcended the eras: the Richemond Bakery.
The Richemond
Bakery
While original Richemond Bakery in Seongsan is famous for being
a third generational bakery, together with it’s 40-years of mastery and vintage
interior, you can truly feel the Richemond atmosphere.
Richemond’s Interior
The modern interior is well adorned with brown, woody tons
helping to evoke a classy atmosphere.
In particular, more so than the interior tables, you can watch
the bakers making their breads and cakes in their exclusive area.
The space is
divided into two areas: one with the baked goods on display and another where
you can enjoy your bread and some tea. The walls are made of glass so the store looks even more
open and offers a wide view.
Breakfast
is also offered, so we hope you enjoy an easy-going meal! :)
Richemond Breakfast Guide
1 Person : 7,500 won / Bread and ham, cheese, jam, butter, juice, milk + coffee (1 cup) (Pay upon entry)
A Diverse Menu
After grabbing the tray paper with the Richemond logo on it, you
will find an amazing stand of bread that looks almost like a fountain.
The Richemond Bakery has long been loved for its bread, but
these days you can also try an assortment of goods including macarons and cake
without a worry.
In particular, the
special menu features the “chestnut bread” which was trendy in the 80s.
In addition, there is a chestnut pie with whipped cream.
From the endless choices, I chose the
chestnut pie with whipped cream.
While the unique look of the pie went
really well with the interior and gave me a European vibe,
the price was so reasonable compared to
the vintage feel of the shop and its popularity.
Whipped Cream 2,700 won / Chestnut Pie 2,800
won
