Le Saint-Ex
Cuisine: French
Price: $$
Reservations: Recommended
Suggested Items: Daily specials, any of the desserts
Le Saint-Ex was one of the pioneers of Itaewon’s Restaurant Alley. A classic French bistro, it delivers homey Gallic cuisine in a transporting atmosphere. Like most foreign restaurants, it isn’t cheap, but it is also a good deal for what you get–and for what they can get as ingredients in Korea. The menu is written on a blackboard, and it rotates regularly. The salads are great, and the salmon was hearty. The big draw is the dessert table. All these desserts require a cup of thick French coffee to complete the experience. I recommend the Floating Island–creme Anglaise topped with a meringue and coated with a glassy layer of caramel. It’s like eating a giant toasted marshmallow with golden cream inside.
