English menu available: Yes ## Trust and freshness - Verification: interview / 2026-09-23 - Menu freshness: updated 2026-09-24T03:05:53.464+00:00 A small brunch table one lane back from Sokcho's Saemaeul-gil, where Gangwon ingredients meet the chef's Montreal and Seoul kitchen experience. Try the tangy, gently spicy peri-peri shrimp pasta with dried pollock crumble, or see what the season has brought to the menu. By evening, Sonz turns into a reservation-only wine bar. Pro tip: The menu changes with the season, so check the current dishes before you go. The smoky shrimp and Gangwon mushroom dish is dinner-only; book ahead for the wine bar. Brunch happy-hour wine prices differ from dinner prices, and bottles to go are 10% off. The small dining room asks each adult to order a main dish. ## Story ### How it started After years in hotel and service work, the owner moved to Canada, graduated from culinary school, and began cooking professionally in Montreal. Back in Korea, she spent a year in a Seongsu casual-dining kitchen before choosing Sokcho's Saemaeul-gil for her own place. Sonz sits a block off the main street, close enough to reach on a walk from Sokcho Beach. ### Philosophy The kitchen starts with Gangwon produce rather than a familiar brunch template. The owner sources from regional growers, including potatoes from a neighbor who farms in Yangyang, and works out each pairing before it reaches the menu. One or two dishes change roughly every couple of months as the season shifts. ### Signature The peri-peri shrimp conchiglie is a steady favorite: sweet, tart heat around the pasta, with dried pollock crumble adding a distinctly local savory finish. The pulled pork brioche takes another route, pairing long-cooked pork with a Gangwon gondre dip. New plates, like September's fig pasta and pink protein plate, make a return visit feel different from the last. ### For international visitors English service is available, and the owner is happy to share nearby food recommendations. The printed menu names the main dishes in both Korean and English, making it easy to choose even when the combinations are unfamiliar. ## Dietary Summary - Total menu items: 34 ## Menu ### Main Dishes (메인) - **Pink Protein Plate** (핑크 프로틴 플레이트) — ₩18,000 A pink Chodang tofu and beet dip with avocado, cauliflower, a soft egg, tomato confit, herbs, and pita bread.
