Our Visit

Today, I visited the cocktail bar 'Jean Frigo' located in Dongdaemun. Jean Frigo is a cocktail bar with a mysterious fruit store concept that sells fresh fruit every day.

On the store window, it says 'Fresh fruits sold daily'. When you look at the unique appearance, it feels like visiting a secluded fruit shop in Europe!

Come inside and take a look around. Posters are attached as if actually selling fresh fruit that comes in every day.

According to the concept of a fruit store, there are various fruits and refrigerators inside the store, making it fun to look around. But no matter how hard you look around, you can't see the door to enter the store inside. To meet fresh fruit, ponder carefully which door to open and then open that door! When you open the door, a mysterious space will unfold.

When you open the door and enter the store, you will notice the subtle lighting and modern interior. On the first floor, there is a bar table where you can see the process of making cocktails. Also, there is a space filled with fresh fruits in one corner.

You can pick your favorite fruit from the fruit section on the first floor, put it in the basket, and make your own cocktail! Custom cocktails made with fresh seasonal fruits, what a special menu that you can experience at Jean Frigo. If you want to order a custom fruit cocktail, just tell the staff.

The first floor bar table allows you to see bartenders making cocktails right in front of you, giving you the feeling of watching a show. Now let's move to the 2nd floor.

When you open the door on the left side of the entrance, there is a staircase leading to the second floor. Stairs are decorated nicely with various photos and interior accessories.

The second floor space is like a hip cocktail bar full of cool vibes, unlike the first floor. Unique lighting with distinctive colors and a long, unusual seating structure along the wall is impressive. Jean Frigo seems to have a different charm in each space.

Detailed interior items with points are placed here and there.

2nd floor seats are surprisingly seat-shaped for 2-4 people without taking off their shoes. Sit side by side with your companion and talk hand in hand. Due to the dark floor type of seats, be careful when moving or sitting up and down.

On the second floor, each table is topped with fresh fruit, which is used instead of table numbers. Today, there was an orange in the editor's seat.

Jean Frigo 2nd floor uses a unique ordering method that you won't experience elsewhere. Right, you order by calling the reception from inside the payphone booth!

Insert a coin into the payphone booth and press 102 to have the employee answer the phone. Then just tell your table name and place an order. Editor asked for the orange table and ordered the menu he wanted. Unique ordering system is different and fun!

While exploring the mysterious interior, the ordered cocktails and basic appetizers came out. Basic snacks are dried fruits that are suitable for the concept of Jean Frigo. Today the editor ordered three signature cocktails, Ragu Rose Gnocchi, and the Everyday Fresh Platter.

The ordered food has all arrived. A visually pleasing fruit platter with colorful plating and a thick-looking sauce provides a joy to the eyes.

In line with the fruit theme, Jean Frigo's signature cocktails are made with fruits.

Kiwi Pesto

Signature cocktail Kiwi Pesto is a unique combination of kiwi and basil in a cocktail. A combination of tangy kiwi cocktail and basil pesto that I never imagined would taste so delicious! Lighting and dry ice are provided with a wooden board, making the viewing experience enjoyable.

Rye

Another signature cocktail, Rye, is a classic cocktail made with Korean traditional liquor, Wang Yuju, and homemade signature chestnut syrup. Lightly toast the cinnamon stick so you can smell the cinnamon scent and feel the nutty flavor subtly.

This cocktail has a high alcohol content, so you can feel a strong alcohol taste. I recommend it to those who want to feel a strong alcohol. Next to the ban, you can also consume alcohol, so it's good to eat it together when the alcohol scent is bitter.

Two Pair

Signature cocktail Two Pear is a refreshing blend of sweet Asian pears and tangy Western pears. Filled with carbonation, every sip is refreshing! When you drink it in the hot summer, it seems sweet and cool.

Ragu Rose Gnocchi

Jean Frigo was known as a cocktail restaurant, but it seems to be a yukki restaurant, it's really delicious! Jean Frigo's Yoki is a spicy rosé-based sauce that captures the richness and the outside is crispy while the inside is moist Yoki is fantastic. Grilled beef, rose sauce, and shiitake mushrooms are so well blended that I even ate all the sauce!!

Everyday Fresh Platter

Fruit platter made up of fresh ingredients.

Fruit, cheese, crackers, ham and cream cheese + maple syrup, etc. The composition is very substantial. Apple, dragon fruit, orange, kiwi, etc. We use fresh fruit every day. The composition of fruits may change according to the season. Plateer's cheese and ham have a sophisticated taste. Personally, the cheese was too delicious. Sweet and salty composition goes very well with cocktails.

Enjoy a variety of content together according to your taste! Enjoying cocktails is so much fun.

Inside a room with subtly glamorous lighting, you can capture photos with a different atmosphere! The editor stood his phone against the wall, made a playful expression, and took pictures with food and cocktails.

Fresh concept, dreamy and unique atmosphere, very attractive combination of delicious and diverse menu. Family, friends, or loved ones, it's a great cocktail bar to make new memories with. When you want to have a casual cocktail and chat, we highly recommend Jean Frigo, a refreshing cocktail bar with a fruit store concept!
