Sea urchin pasta at Pepite, a Cheongdam-dong pasta restaurant
Pepite is a pasta and Western restaurant tucked into an alley off Dosan-daero 85-gil in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul. The chef came from Michelin fine dining and adds delicate Japanese touches, and this visit paired Pepite's signature sea urchin (uni) pasta at 32,000 won with the marinated Korean melon and prosciutto salad at 24,000 won and a glass of house white wine. For a Cheongdam date course that feels special without being heavy, Pepite is an easy choice.
