As far as I know Alameda is the first restaurant in Cheonan to serve western style breakfast food. Not to knock McDonalds, but a McMuffin can only go so far in restoring the feelings of home.
Alameda is a small, owner-chef cafe near the Galleria. Look across the street for the Cafe Bene and keep walking in a straight line.
The atmosphere is simple-chic, and the food is very good. The owner serves as chef, and his girlfriend is the friendly waitress.
Sarah ordered the Alameda Brunch - with pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, fried potatoes, and - oddly - a small garden salad. Even giving it the bonus of being the only place to get Western breakfast in Cheonan, this was still a very good meal. Everything was well prepared and well presented.
I ordered the grilled mushroom salad, and I have to say that it was the best restaurant salad I've had in Korea. (I have to add that restaurant caveat because my sister-in-law makes a mean spinach-pecan-strawberry salad which may be the best I've ever had anywhere.) The greens were varied and fresh. The mushrooms were also varied and well seasoned. There were even chunks of fresh cheese.
Even the music was great. The only downside to Alameda is the price. Plan on paying around 15,000 a person. At that rate, it's a little to much to become part of our regular circuit, but when we get the hankering for pancakes, waffles, or knock-out salads, now we know where to go.
