Beat Spring Fever in Multipurpose Dining Spaces
Do you find yourself with a case of spring fever? Have you been feeling a bit down and lacking in fun places to go? If so, beat the blues and spring fever by visiting these multipurpose dining spaces and sampling all of their culinary delights.
A Futuristic Dining Space
Gangnam
The expansive road at Gangnam Station, Gangnam-daero, is full of offices, academies, restaurants, cafes, and many more buildings and businesses. Whether it’s a weekday or the weekend, the sidewalks are always full of people, hurrying this way and that. However, the weekends are especially crowded with people, so much so that it’s hard to find a spare seat in a café to have a quick coffee. However, when other small eateries are packed, try SPC Square. Grand in scale, and futuristic in design, SPC Square still manages to provide a cozy atmosphere to visitors. The building feels like a small plaza in downtown Seoul. From the 1st floor to the 4th floor, there are numerous bakeries, restaurants and cafes that serve dessert, brunch, pizza, and more. When you’re too tired to wander from location to location, go to SPC Square to fulfill all your dining needs.
SPC Square is a futuristic dining and cultural space that uses cutting-edge technology for consumer convenience. SPC Square introduced location-based commerce services to visitors via their smartphones. Information regarding any of the products or eateries at SPC Square and can be accessed via smartphone. Information regarding events at SPC Square is also available in this way. Additionally there is the mobile stamp service where you can use stamps to accumulate mileage to redeem for coupons.
The cakes and desserts on display at SPC Square’s bakeries look mouth-wateringly good and the atmosphere is as sweet as the treats on display. You could easily eat your fill just at the bakeries here, thanks to the wide variety of edibles on offer. Once you’ve eaten your fill, burn off some of those calories by heading over to the COEX Mall and Apgujeong Rodeo Drive for some shopping. Neither the COEX MALL nor Apgujeong Rodeo Drive is right next to Gangnam Station but they’re well worth a visit.
