It had been months since we managed to match our schedules for a weeknight out, so I was ridiculously excited from the moment we started looking for a good place near Myeongdong Station, haha. After much deliberation, we chose Seventy Four Myeongdong Cathedral Main Branch (세븐티포 명동성당본점), and spoiler: it was a completely successful date. I happened upon it while scrolling through Myeongdong restaurant recommendations, and honestly, wasn’t it such a genius find? You don’t want to go just anywhere on a Myeongdong date, but you don’t want somewhere overly formal either. That’s when I found Seventy Four, which had great Seoul Myeongdong restaurant reviews. The second I saw the photos, I thought, “Oh? This place has a vibe?!” and booked it right away! ![Seventy Four Myeongdong main branch date guide image](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-seventyfour-doenjang-pasta-date/myeongdong-seventyfour-doenjang-pasta-date-01-upax7-1200.webp) ## Seventy Four Myeongdong Cathedral Main Branch: exterior and first impressions ![Exterior of Seventy Four Myeongdong Cathedral Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-seventyfour-doenjang-pasta-date/myeongdong-seventyfour-doenjang-pasta-date-02-1mcfu-966.webp) I’ve passed near Myeongdong Cathedral so often, but I had no idea there was a restaurant tucked away in here. Seventy Four Myeongdong Cathedral Main Branch is an Italian restaurant on the first floor of the Myeongdong Cathedral Familia Chapel building. It focuses on pasta and pizza, has terrace seating, and is quietly known as a Myeongdong date spot. Was I really the only one who didn’t know? Haha. ![Seventy Four restaurant near Myeongdong Cathedral](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-seventyfour-doenjang-pasta-date/myeongdong-seventyfour-doenjang-pasta-date-03-1v1e6-966.webp) ### Location and reservation information - Address: 66 Myeongdong-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울 중구 명동길 66 명동성당 파밀리아채플 1층) - Hours: Daily 11:00–22:30 (last order 22:00) - Reservations: Available through the Catchtable app - Signature dishes: chamnamul doenjang pasta, 74 Super Combination Pizza, Unexpected Eggplant ![Seventy Four location and reservation information](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-seventyfour-doenjang-pasta-date/myeongdong-seventyfour-doenjang-pasta-date-04-1lhql-966.webp) The alleys can be a little confusing when walking from Myeongdong Station, but go up the curved stone stairs to the right of the front of Myeongdong Cathedral and you’ll see the yellow sign right away. We nearly walked in a circle ourselves, haha, sob. If you’re planning a Myeongdong Cathedral date, save the location in advance. ### How does the early brunch event work? ![Seventy Four early brunch event information](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-seventyfour-doenjang-pasta-date/myeongdong-seventyfour-doenjang-pasta-date-05-19a85-966.webp) - Opening time: 11 a.m. daily - Eligible guests: First 10 people at opening - Benefit: One mini salad per table and an iced Americano for every guest - Note: This was an event posted in the restaurant’s updates, so I recommend checking whether it is still running before you visit. ![Arriving at Seventy Four Myeongdong Cathedral Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-seventyfour-doenjang-pasta-date/myeongdong-seventyfour-doenjang-pasta-date-06-bmdlp-966.webp) The moment we arrived, I was like, wow, I really like this place! ![Calm interior atmosphere at Seventy Four](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-seventyfour-doenjang-pasta-date/myeongdong-seventyfour-doenjang-pasta-date-07-st67u-966.webp) Maybe because it is inside the cathedral building, the mood was much calmer and more refined than I expected. ![Seventy Four interior with floor-to-ceiling windows](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-seventyfour-doenjang-pasta-date/myeongdong-seventyfour-doenjang-pasta-date-08-4r8lr-966.webp) The floor-to-ceiling windows made the interior clearly visible from outside, and the atmosphere was lovely. Then you step out onto the terrace, and it is a whole different mood... ![Atmosphere of Seventy Four terrace seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-seventyfour-doenjang-pasta-date/myeongdong-seventyfour-doenjang-pasta-date-09-cenfp-966.webp) ![Terrace seating in the Myeongdong Cathedral building](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-seventyfour-doenjang-pasta-date/myeongdong-seventyfour-doenjang-pasta-date-10-1j51a-966.webp) ![Seventy Four terrace seating for a date](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-seventyfour-doenjang-pasta-date/myeongdong-seventyfour-doenjang-pasta-date-11-scfbx-966.webp) The weather has been cool lately, so we grabbed a terrace table, haha. ## Chamnamul doenjang pasta and combination pizza menu ![Seventy Four signature menu information](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-seventyfour-doenjang-pasta-date/myeongdong-seventyfour-doenjang-pasta-date-12-t3q35-793.webp) ![Pasta and pizza menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-seventyfour-doenjang-pasta-date/myeongdong-seventyfour-doenjang-pasta-date-13-wm540-793.webp) I was already excited the moment I opened the menu. There was such a wide range—pasta, pizza, risotto, and steak—that it was that happy kind of dilemma over what to order. We picked the chamnamul doenjang pasta and the signature 74 Super Combination Pizza, fitting for a Myeongdong pasta spot. Ordering through a kiosk felt a little unfamiliar, but would you believe even that was fun as a new experience? Haha. ![Kiosk ordering menu screen](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-seventyfour-doenjang-pasta-date/myeongdong-seventyfour-doenjang-pasta-date-14-1x26u-793.webp) Pasta was ₩18,000–₩20,000 and pizza was in the ₩27,000–₩29,000 range, so it was not exactly cheap for Myeongdong. But considering the atmosphere and quality, it did not feel wasteful for a long-overdue date. I’d also quietly recommend it to anyone looking for a nice spot near Euljiro 1(il)-ga Station. ## How the 74 Super Combination Pizza and doenjang pasta tasted ![Combination pizza and chamnamul doenjang pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-seventyfour-doenjang-pasta-date/myeongdong-seventyfour-doenjang-pasta-date-15-b91qz-966.webp) Finally, the food arrived! I tore off a slice of combination pizza first, and wow, this was the real deal. It was thin, crisp, wood-fired-pizza-style dough—crunchy outside and chewy inside, you know that feeling? ![Thin and crispy combination pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-seventyfour-doenjang-pasta-date/myeongdong-seventyfour-doenjang-pasta-date-16-hbd0t-966.webp) The moment I bit in, the savory toppings and nutty cheese spread across my mouth, followed by a gently spicy finish that kept me reaching for more. My husband and I both kept saying, “What is this? It’s amazing!” There was a reason it belonged on Myeongdong restaurant recommendation lists. ![74 Super Combination Pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-seventyfour-doenjang-pasta-date/myeongdong-seventyfour-doenjang-pasta-date-17-r0n0z-966.webp) The chamnamul doenjang pasta was a different kind of fun. The cream base brought up the deep, savory aroma distinctive to doenjang (fermented soybean paste), ![Cream-based chamnamul doenjang pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-seventyfour-doenjang-pasta-date/myeongdong-seventyfour-doenjang-pasta-date-18-twz7h-966.webp) and at first I was like, “Oh? What is this?” But after a bite or two, it became subtly addictive. The fragrance of chamnamul (Korean parsley) followed softly, and there were cubes of steak to chew on too—this is truly an unusual dish you can only have here 💚 If you are tired of ordinary cream pasta, it could be a fun challenge. ![Dining area with widely spaced tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-seventyfour-doenjang-pasta-date/myeongdong-seventyfour-doenjang-pasta-date-19-swru9-966.webp) The tables were spaced fairly far apart too, so it was nice to spend time just the two of us without worrying about neighboring tables. ![Space for wedding-invitation gatherings and company dinners](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-seventyfour-doenjang-pasta-date/myeongdong-seventyfour-doenjang-pasta-date-20-1jeon-966.webp) I found out later that people also come here for wedding-invitation gatherings and company dinners. It seems perfect for that! ![Night view from Seventy Four](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-seventyfour-doenjang-pasta-date/myeongdong-seventyfour-doenjang-pasta-date-21-1p9eg-966.webp) The night view was worth seeing too! ## Final thoughts on our long-overdue Myeongdong date > This date really made me realize that the best Myeongdong restaurant recommendations come from putting in the legwork.
