I stopped into Fat Cat for the first time after hearing that they were dog friendly, they had cold beer and good grub.
Pictured below is the Fat Cat Club. A decent club sandwich in these parts is about as rare as an honest hagwon boss so I was sort of skeptical. The club came with thinly shredded chicken breast, bacon, lettuce and tomato and either pesto or horseradish mayo. I like a little kick, so I went with horseradish.
I'm ashamed to admit it, but in my time in Korea and experiences with other countries within Asia, those cheap plastic wrapped sandwiches you can get from 7-11 and Lawson's have become sort of a guilty pleasure of mine. Don't hate, Anthony Bourdain swears by Egg Salad from Lawson's in Japan!! Unfortunately, the majority of the time, these sandwiches are packed in a way where it looks like they're brimming with ingredients and goodness but actually all of the contents have just been pushed to the front. In the end, you get two or three bites of real sandwich and then the rest is just dry bread. I hate to say it, but that was sort of the case here. The saving grace is that the bread is topnotch! It's fresh and toasty and obviously made on site. The first thing you'll likely notice when you walk in is the scent of freshly baked bread inundating your nostrils!
I think I paid between 10,000-12,000 for it. I would have liked to see better filled sandwich for that price. There was also only a hint of mayo and the horseradish element was extremely weak. The bacon was definitely cooked to my liking; nice and crispy. The chicken was also super good. If I remember correctly, they have a smoker on site and do a lot of BBQ'ed meats. It also came with a small...

It was presented in a beautiful star-shaped bowl and with 2 slices of a baguette. The soup was good to the final drop. Then we followed the soup with the chicken pesto sandwich which was wonderful. The pesto was rich with garlic and basil nodes and accented the chicken perfectly. The chicken was expertly cooked and melted away with each bite. We washed everything down with a tasty iced honey lemon tea. The price was right and the service was great but don’t take my word for it, stop by Fat Cat’s and...

Doesn't matter if you love Korean food. Everyone has days when you just want a sandwich made with a decent baguette. Fatcat it is!
You should go try out their sandwiches. My favourites are the chicken pesto with extra avocado or the Italian one 😋
The coffee tastes great, too. During the autumn season, they even have Pumpkin Spice Latte, if that's what you like ;) As well as wine, some beers, and kombucha.
Anyway, just go and see...
