Hippo Brunchaus is a casual brunch cafe where a chef trained in American dining adapts brunch to Korean tastes. The name comes from the idea of a hippo's big mouthful — generous portions and striking plating made it one of the brunch places people name in Yeonnam-dong.
No artificial seasoning: the kitchen cooks with the freshness of the season instead. Every sauce and dressing is made in-house and finished the same day, and every brunch is cooked with fresh vegetables and fruit in season.
“Big like a hippo's mouthful — but only with what came in that day. Sauces and dressings are made each morning and used up before closing.”
