Yeonnam-dong basil pesto and shakshuka at Pastiar, Seoul restaurant
Pastiar is a homemade-style Italian restaurant in Mapo, Seoul, serving pasta, rice bowls, and shakshuka. We ordered shakshuka, grilled pork-neck cube steak rice bowl, and basil pesto pasta by the window, and the fresh basil aroma and tender pork stood out. Verdict: a cozy choice for dates, solo lunches, or a relaxed meal with friends.
