Bree Street has a new energy, and it’s coming in hot from Seoul. Maru, the latest addition to the Pan Collection, is a Korean restaurant designed for vibes, sharing, and staying longer than planned.
‘Maru’ means gathering space, and the atmosphere delivers exactly that – moody lighting, sleek interiors, a buzzing soundtrack, and tables designed for ordering one more dish. It’s social, stylish and effortlessly fun, whether you’re popping in for a casual bite or settling in for a full night out.
The menu leans into bold Korean comfort with standout crowd-pleasers. Expect crispy Korean fried chicken made with the highest-quality chicken, perfectly juicy with that signature crunch. There’s also tteokbokki with a rich, spicy sauce, savoury pancakes, and deeply flavourful BBQ-inspired dishes that beg to be shared. Everything is punchy, satisfying and dangerously moreish.
As with all Pan Collection spaces, Maru strikes the sweet spot between elevated and accessible – cool without the attitude. It’s the kind of place where drinks keep flowing, plates keep landing, and Bree Street’s after-dark buzz feels just right.
If you’re looking for a new favourite that brings flavour, fun and a little fire, Maru is calling.
