⭐ This Week’s FEATURED SPOT
Eastside: THE MAGPIE -
The Vibe
Small, intimate and effortlessly cool, The Magpie feels like one of those places you’re thrilled to have discovered. Chef Sue Kim’s freestyle menu blends Korean influences with flavors and techniques from around the world, all in a cozy East Side setting that’s perfect for date night or dinner with your favorite foodie friends.
Must-Order Items
House-Made Milk Bread — Don’t even think about skipping the bread. It has become one of The Magpie’s signatures and is the perfect way to start the meal.
Smoked Duck Charcuterie — Coffee-cured and smoked duck breast served with accompaniments that change with the season. It’s one of the dishes that really shows off what this kitchen does differently.
Whatever Catches Your Eye — Seriously. The menu changes with the seasons, so part of the fun here is ordering something you didn’t plan on and sharing a few plates around the table.
Pro Tip
This is a small restaurant with limited seating, so make a reservation rather than trying your luck as a walk-in. And come hungry enough to share—the menu is designed for exploring, and this is definitely not the place to order one entrée and call it a night.
📍 Address: 1602 E. Houston St., Ste. 106, 78202
