Dalmatian: Drink Fine Wine & Eat Warm Shakshuka At This European-style Cafe With Dalmatian Mascots

Dalmatian Cafe in Seoul


At Dalmatian Cafe in Seoul, you can dine outdoors next to a water fountain filled with flower petals, or indoors where various giant paintings of dalmatians are displayed. Better yet, the cafe welcomes all pets and even has pet-friendly snacks for sale. 


Cafe that looks like its own town

A stone archway leads into a cobbled courtyard that wouldn’t look out of place in Europe or a fairytale. It houses the cafe’s outdoor seating area, and with the power of imagination, you could pretend you’re dining in the courtyard of a rich aristocrat’s mansion.

With stone pillars, patterned tile floors, arched doorways, and an open bar layout, the outdoor area of the cafe is designed to mimic an enclosed village in Europe.

The indoor area of the cafe is just as unique – raw concrete walls and exposed wiring are juxtaposed against colourful Greek tiles, an assortment of mismatched furniture, and antique reading lamps.

Vibrant murals of dapper Dalmatians in the coolest drips oversee the premises – one particular dog bears an expression of judgement uncannily reminiscent of Miranda Priestly. 


Imagine getting judged by a dog for your fashion choices – couldn’t be us.

Picturesque architecture with great lighting

The cafe is littered with all sorts of knick knacks that add on to the kooky charm of the architecture. 

In the heart of the outdoor seating area, a water fountain filled with flower buds and petals runs continuously as you dine al fresco.

Tall, potted plants that dot the premises add a whimsical touch of nature to the place, helping those without a green thumb vicariously live that Plant Mom™ life.

We’re sure that the cafe owners must be dog lovers – besides decorating the premises with murals and drawings of Dalmatians, they’ve also made the place pet-friendly. Paw-rents are welcome to bring their furry friends along to the cafe, where they can enjoy an assortment of pet-friendly treats.
