Once entering Macaroni Market, you'll feel as if you stepped into a contemporary and branchée lounge. The lighting is dim, the furniture is simplistic, and the music is calming. Although the seating is limited for the amount actual space in the restaurant, there is a lively buzz coming from the crowd. In addition to the restaurant, there is also a separate room that serves as a lounge. It includes plush furniture and dampered fluorescent lighting with more upbeat electronic music. The staff at Macaroni Market are dressed in simplet yet chic black pants and white collared shirts and are very happy and eager to accommodate as much as possible.
The menu consists of somewhat of a variety of dishes, which makes it hard to identify exactly what genre of restaurant it is. Judging from the couple of times I visited there, I would classify Macaroni Market as contemporary Italian. The nice thing about Macaroni Market is that it uses authentic ingredients without resorting to Korean ingredients in order to appease the Korean palate. For example, the macaroni and cheese dish comes with 3 or 4 different kinds of imported cheeses and is garnished with french-fried onions. Delicious!
Every time I frequent Macaroni Market, I opt for the hearty and satisfying macaroni and cheese. Other dishes to try are the baguette sandwiches and the eggplant bruschetta. (The bruschetta choices change from day to day and rarely disappoint.)To get to Macaroni Market, take exit 2 from Itaewon station (brown line 6) and walk straight past the Hard Rock Cafe and Helios bar and restaurant. You'll see Praha restaurant on your left and Macaroni Market is right above it.
