Nice!
I say this because it's the first word that popped to mind when I saw the decor of this fairly new restaurant. I've bemoaned that Korean restaurants are hopelessly designed when you compare them with most Japanese counterparts. It makes No sense either, as Koreans have tremendous sense of personal style and are very artistic. However, I see pathologically ugly interiors that really give a sense that style is always an afterthought. The Marie is alternatively tasteful and beautifully designed. It looks like something out of the set of the hit movie "Winter Sonata". It makes sense as the husband and wife proprietors are university and professionally trained artists and graphic designers. So how's the food you might ask?
They offer traditional and fusion Korean dishes sans the BBQ table and thus no smoky garlicky hair and clothing when you leave. It's much more in the style of Korean restaurant cafes in Japan, but the great thing is that the food is actually cooked by Mrs. Marie so the food has "seoul"! Excusing the pun, Marie also has a pedigree in traditional chinese herbal medicines (A long practiced art by Koreans as well) from her grandfather, and incorporates healthy cooking ingredients and methods.
The food is delicious and the lunch sets are very affordable at around 150 baht. Very nice, stylish place to have a lunch or dinner.
