Odd as it may seem, La Pomme is not the only Seoul café that features furniture. In bballi bballi Seoul, it’s a rare find to sit in a place that intentionally encourages patrons to slow down. Another detail that distinguishes La Pomme is that the dessert you order isn’t simply pulled out of a glass case where it’s been sitting all day. Instead, they make your dessert to order, usually reinventing the traditional “design” of the dish. So you might as well relax and gaze into the eyes of your date while you wait in anticipation.

Since its name means “The Apple,” the dish you need to try is their Tarte Tatin, the classic French apple tart in tower form. La Pomme’s take on the treat is stacked high with flaky pastry, cream, fresh apples and real vanilla bean ice cream. You may also want try their February seasonal menus, Strawberry Aid and Strawberry Mille-Feuille.
