As if to prove its etymological origin, Épanoui (which means “Flourished“ in French) adorns its walls with novel artists’ paintings every three months, thereby imbuing this nice little back alley establishment in Cheongdam-dong with a gallery-like ambience befitting its sensitive, beautifully crafted French cuisine. The kitchen team's signature dishes include lobster ravioli in a mellow champagne-vanilla sauce; and foie gras marbré surrounded by crunchy bread crumbs. Perhaps as a nod to the restaurant’s artwork, the presentations are also delicate and vibrant. Chef Kwon Ji-hun’s pursuit of balanced flavors and elevated plating will delight your eyes and your palate.
