Over mackerel pasta and garden tomato risotto with her boyfriend, the writer found the portions a little short and ordered a truffle mushroom risotto on top, while the next table was mid blind date and another was planning a wedding invitation. Between the food and the mood, Pyu Euljiro felt like a solid pick for anniversaries and blind dates alike. ## Good to know - **Location**: 3 minutes from Exit 11, Euljiro3-ga Station - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–21:00 - **Parking**: 60 minutes free at Tower107 - **Dinner condition**: One alcoholic drink order required per person (no non-alcoholic beverages) - **Corkage**: One free bottle - **Other**: Private hire available, reservation service offered - **Mackerel pasta**: ₩30,000 - **Garden tomato risotto**: ₩25,000 - **Truffle mushroom risotto**: ₩26,000 *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* ![Vertical photo of the Pyu Euljiro dining interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner-01-9gi80-900.webp) My boyfriend and I wanted to hit up a pasta spot in Euljiro that we hadn't tried yet, and that's how we found this new dining restaurant!! One side of the room was a wedding invitation gathering, the other side a blind date — this is the kind of place you'd be satisfied bringing anyone for an anniversary date. ![Tables and hall view at Pyu Euljiro](https://img.superchart.com/images/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner-02-1i4dt-900.webp) ## Pyu Euljiro's location and conditions - 📍 3 minutes from Exit 11, Euljiro3-ga Station - ⏰ Daily 11:00–21:00 - 🅿️ 60 minutes free parking at Tower107 - 🍾 One alcoholic drink order required per person for dinner, one free bottle corkage - ⭐️ Private hire available, reservation service offered ## What the atmosphere was like The moment you walk in there's this oddly comforting feeling. Apparently the name PHEW came from the sound of letting out a sigh of relief. That release you feel undoing one button of a too-tight shirt, or the sound that slips out when you sink into a soft couch at home — PHEW💨 ![High-ceilinged hall atmosphere at Pyu Euljiro](https://img.superchart.com/images/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner-03-6djxr-1200.webp) ![Soft chairs and widely spaced tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner-04-u0hpp-900.webp) High ceilings gave it a nice open feeling, and the soft chairs with wide gaps between tables made it easy to focus on conversation. ![Table setting with reservation name displayed](https://img.superchart.com/images/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner-05-1bi2s-900.webp) If you make a reservation, they put your name up on the table like this — that kind of detail made me happy. ## Menu lineup ![Pyu Euljiro's food menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner-06-afrv7-900.webp) ### Food menu An essential dining menu that brings out the natural flavor of the ingredients! They said they use steaming and smoking on seasonal ingredients to bring out each one's own flavor. ![Introduction image of Pyu Euljiro's essential dining menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner-07-1jgto-900.webp) ![Introduction image of Pyu Euljiro's food menu plating](https://img.superchart.com/images/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner-08-17jf7-900.webp) ![Introduction image of Pyu Euljiro's pasta menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner-09-e4d93-900.webp) ![Introduction image of Pyu Euljiro's risotto menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner-10-1ayp3-900.webp) ![Introduction image of charcoal octopus and other menu items at Pyu Euljiro](https://img.superchart.com/images/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner-11-he0aw-900.webp) Mackerel pasta, garden tomato risotto, charcoal-grilled octopus with romesco... everything looked so pretty and delicious plated that I agonized over the choice for a while. ![Pyu Euljiro's drinks menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner-12-dx0ur-900.webp) ### Drinks menu If you come for dinner, ordering one alcoholic drink menu item per person is required (non-alcoholic drinks don't count). There are cocktails that describe nature scenes, like a cabin in the woods or a window at sunset, and if you visit during the day there's fresh-pressed juice too, which seems nice to enjoy. ![Pyu Euljiro's set menu for two](https://img.superchart.com/images/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner-13-1kob3-900.webp) ### Set menu There's a set menu for two as well, so if you want to try a variety of dishes, check out the set. ## What we ordered ![Non-alcoholic Bergamore and lager Cheongdam-dong Myeoneuri](https://img.superchart.com/images/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner-14-ip762-900.webp) My boyfriend isn't a big drinker so he ordered the Bergamore (non-alcoholic), and I ordered the lager Cheongdam-dong Myeoneuri ("Cheongdam-dong Daughter-in-Law"). ![Lager Cheongdam-dong Myeoneuri poured into a glass](https://img.superchart.com/images/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner-15-yuzxf-m-900.webp) In England I always only reached for Guinness... I don't drink much beer in Korea so I'm no expert, but this one was really smooth and delicious. ![Plating of Pyu Euljiro's mackerel pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner-16-zit7u-900.webp) ### Mackerel pasta (₩30,000) An oil pasta topped with marinated mackerel — there's a subtle spicy note, and the tender mackerel steak blends in so well that one bite got an immediate gasp out of me. ![Close-up of oil pasta topped with marinated mackerel](https://img.superchart.com/images/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner-17-nw8dj-900.webp) ### Garden tomato risotto (₩25,000) A tomato risotto topped with a bit of various grilled vegetables and mozzarella cheese. The rice had that pop-in-your-mouth texture, and it reminded me of a persillade-style risotto I've always liked. Not too heavily seasoned, nicely soft, with the grilled vegetables adding to the flavor. ![Garden tomato risotto topped with grilled vegetables and mozzarella](https://img.superchart.com/images/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner-18-ijaed-900.webp) ![A spoonful of garden tomato risotto](https://img.superchart.com/images/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner-19-1pdm1-900.webp) My boyfriend and I gasped our way through both dishes and finished them feeling a little short-changed. The portions weren't huge, and they were so good that we wanted to try one more, so I picked up the menu again. ![The additional truffle mushroom risotto that was ordered](https://img.superchart.com/images/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner-20-1fpkg-900.webp) ### Truffle mushroom risotto (₩26,000) Trying to decide what to add, and since risotto was so clearly our thing, we went with the truffle risotto. Made with a rich, thick button mushroom cream soup as the base for the risotto — it was extremely, extremely delicious. That's really the best way I can put it... ## Final verdict ![Pasta and risotto on the table at Pyu Euljiro](https://img.superchart.com/images/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner-21-ft12s-900.webp) ![Evening date atmosphere at Pyu Euljiro](https://img.superchart.com/images/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner-22-ptvi0-900.webp) Taste: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 (we ordered an extra dish) Atmosphere: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 (kept gasping the whole time) The food was great, but the atmosphere was so good I wanted to come back right away. The tables around us were all wedding invitation gatherings, blind dates, or anniversary dates too. Isn't that basically the definition of a place that's nailed both mood and taste..!?? If you're wondering where to go for a blind date, a wedding invitation meetup, or an anniversary, I'd highly recommend Pyu Euljiro. I'm confident you'll get told you have great taste by whoever you bring along haha. ## Where it is - Pyu Euljiro (퓨 을지로) - 27 Mareunnae-ro, 1st floor, unit 102, Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 중구 마른내로 27 1층 102호 - 37.5650245, 126.9913572 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%93%A8%20%EC%9D%84%EC%A7%80%EB%A1%9C/@37.5650245,126.9913572,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@kitchen-door-gyeonggi/phew-euljiro-risotto-couple-dinner/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
