Mer de Cour Gijang Branch
46078 871-1 Gijanghaean-ro, Gijang-eup, Gijang-gun, Busan"A large ocean-view café where the night sea vibe comes alive, Mer de Cour Gijang Branch" Mer de Cour Gijang Branch is a spacious café in Gijang with ample parking and convenient layout. The A and B buildings are connected on the upper floors, making it easy to move around despite the large space, and there were various seating options that made choosing a spot enjoyable. With four Blue Ribbons awarded, my expectations were high, and the menu was well-organized, making ordering easy. The open layout facing the sea created a great ocean-view café atmosphere, and at night, even though the sea wasn't clearly visible, the sound of the waves subtly brought the night sea vibe to life. We ordered an Americano, sweet potato latte, and tiramisu. The sweet potato latte was cozy and sweet, while the Americano had a rich flavor. The tiramisu was moist and creamy, pairing well with the coffee. I heard that there are more bakery options available during the day, so I would love to visit again on a sunny day.
