[RESTAURANT OF THE WEEK] Maple House returns strong after renovation

Restaurants often don't warrant multiple reviews. CALI Kitchen is the sole establishment that has received acclaim twice in this column: initially in 2023 and then again after closing a year later. Maple House in Seoul's Haebangchon district is poised to join the select few that have made this distinction twice. Previously featured as a Korean brunch spot renowned for its delectable menu, Maple House experienced a brief closure and subsequent renovation.
The establishment has since undergone a transformation, adopting more elements reminiscent of a Western-style diner. While the culinary offerings have evolved, the restaurant maintains its commitment to quality and consistency. Upon considering factors such as price, taste, and quantity, Maple House continues to reign supreme as my preferred breakfast destination in Seoul.
The breakfast offerings have been substantially expanded, expanding the menu options while preserving the previously cherished selections. Furthermore, various adjustments have been made to the food preparation process. One of the shortcomings of the original Maple House menu was the lack of variety in food preparation.
