Times Square Yeongdeungpo patio dinner with pepperoni pizza: Mela
In short
Mela Times Square is a brunch café and Western restaurant on the 1st floor of Times Square in Yeongdeungpo, Seoul, right next to GATE4 and across from H&M. The visit covered the classic pepperoni pastry pizza and the scallop mushroom cream risotto with extra sourdough bread, eaten from the sunlit afternoon through the darkening evening at widely spaced tables. Tucked inside the mall, Mela Times Square stays calm even on busy days, making it an easy dinner stop mid-shopping.

Where Mela Times Square is and what the space feels like
I'm recommending a great Yeongdeungpo Times Square restaurant — I visited Mela Times Square, a delicious brunch café in Yeongdeungpo.
It's on the 1st floor of Times Square, right across from H&M,
and right next to GATE4 at Yeongdeungpo Times Square.
Yeongdeungpo Times Square salad, Yeongdeungpo Times Square pasta —
Let's go inside. Here's how to enjoy Mela Times Square↓
They also have delicious cakes and Times Square brunch, plus a French toast and coffee set menu.
You order at the entrance. The inside is bright and has a nice atmosphere. There's a window on the side, so sunlight comes in nicely during the day,
and as it gets darker toward evening, it's a great place to spend time. There are also tables outside, so you can enjoy an outdoor seat too.
In the center, there's water, tissues, and wet wipes ready for you to use freely.
What's on the menu at Mela Times Square?
Here's the menu at Mela Times Square, a restaurant in Yeongdeungpo Times Square.
Each table has a menu like this. Steak, salad, pizza, pasta, toast, and various brunch dishes are all available.
On the back, coffee and drinks. This works great as a Yeongdeungpo Times Square café too. The interior is spacious and the tables are well spaced apart, which I love. Everywhere in Yeongdeungpo Times Square is always packed with people, right? But this place is tucked inside, so you can enjoy it at ease.

What Mimi ate: pepperoni pastry pizza and scallop risotto
Ta-da. Our order arrived.
A Yeongdeungpo Times Square restaurant. Mimi's pick for Yeongdeungpo Times Square dining!
Seriously delicious Yeongdeungpo Times Square pizza — the classic pepperoni pastry pizza. It's topped with classic pepperoni on a pastry dough. The pepperoni comes out nicely grilled, and mozzarella cheese is layered on top. The tomato sauce blends in beautifully, and the pastry dough crumbles into a crispy, delicious bite.
Scallop mushroom cream risotto. A big butter-seared scallop sits on top, and mushrooms, cheese, and pistachio add a nutty flavor. It finishes with mascarpone cream to complete a delicious risotto.
The texture of the risotto rice was cooked just right.
We also got pickles, which refreshed the palate between bites. Plus the bread we ordered extra! Great alongside the risotto
We ate it with a big piece of scallop on top of the risotto, and also piled risotto onto the sourdough bread — so, so good. A Yeongdeungpo Times Square restaurant.
Delicious pepperoni — can you see how nicely it's grilled?
That was my visit to Mela Times Square, a great restaurant in Yeongdeungpo Times Square. Thanks for reading my review of this delicious meal at Mela Times Square in Yeongdeungpo Times Square.
