Baby-friendly Euljiro3-ga restaurant with high chairs: Pyu Euljiro

When you think of a good restaurant in Euljiro, you probably picture a cramped spot tucked into an alley — but Pyu Euljiro, which I'm introducing today, is spacious, comfortable, and has such a nice atmosphere that it would work well for a date too. The space is generous enough that it was also comfortable to dine here with a baby 👶🏻✨

Best of all, parking in Euljiro is always a headache, so having parking available made me like this place even more. If you're looking for a nice-atmosphere restaurant in Euljiro — whether for a date or for a comfortable meal with a baby — let me introduce Pyu Euljiro (PHEW).

Where is Pyu Euljiro and how do you get there?

Today's Euljiro3-ga restaurant pick, Pyu Euljiro, is just a 3-minute walk from Exit 9 of Euljiro3-ga Station — super close to the subway. Most Euljiro restaurants are in old or narrow alleys, but Pyu is in what looks like a newly built building, so you get a clean meal in a hip neighborhood.

Parking and opening hours at Pyu Euljiro

Parking is always my biggest worry whenever I go to Euljiro, but at Pyu Euljiro you don't need to worry — you just use the building's basement parking lot, which was so convenient.

• ✔️ Search 'Tower 107' in your navigation app, not 'Pyu Euljiro' — that finds the parking entrance on the main road more easily (searching the restaurant name routed us into a back alley)
• 🚘 Parking is free for 1 hour if you have a meal. After that, it's ₩1,000 per 10 minutes
• Hours: Daily 11:00 AM – 9:00 PM / Last order at 8:20 PM

Inside the 70-pyeong wood-toned dining room

True to a newly opened Euljiro restaurant, the space was clean, and the wood-tone interior gave the whole place a warm, cozy feel 🤎

Pyu Euljiro says it pursues 'ritual dining' — a concept meaning a place to set down a heavy body and mind and breathe a sigh of relief. Once I knew what the space was meant to represent, the calm, cozy interior made even more sense.

Being a large 70-pyeong restaurant, there's plenty of space even in the back, so it seems like it could handle a large group with no trouble! Because the restaurant is so spacious, it felt open, and the tables were spaced well apart, which made it easy to focus on the meal. The atmosphere was nice too, so it seemed like it would work well for a wedding-invitation gathering or a get-together with friends ☺️

Weekend brunch with a baby: high chairs at Pyu Euljiro

We visited to enjoy weekend brunch with our baby, and since a high chair was ready, it was easy to sit the baby down and eat comfortably. Maybe because the place is newly opened, the high chair was clean too, which made me even happier 👶🏻💖

The atmosphere felt comfortable enough for visiting with a baby, and I saw quite a few other guests who had also brought their babies, like us — so it seems like a good spot for a family meal out.

We made a reservation on Naver in advance. There was a note on the table with the name of the reservation holder along with a little phrase, and reading it felt oddly healing 🍀 Even the tableware was set out nicely, which gave the sense that a lot of care went into the space even before the meal started — that's Pyu Euljiro for you.

Pyu Euljiro menu and corkage policy

Pyu Euljiro MENU

Pyu Euljiro's signature menu items are mackerel pasta, garden tomato risotto, yuzu chicken thigh, charcoal-grilled octopus with romesco, and smoked tomato. I really wanted to try the mackerel pasta, but unfortunately it was out of stock that day, so we ordered other dishes instead 🥲

There's also a 'two-person share set' menu, so if you're torn about what to order, you could just go with the set without overthinking it. Note that alcohol is required if you're dining for dinner ❗️

✔️ Excluding the alcohol sold at the restaurant, one bottle of corkage is free. *If you bring more than one bottle, it's an extra ₩20,000 per bottle.

Bisque pasta, ₩26,000

The bisque pasta is ₩26,000. It's a pasta with rich shrimp sauce topped with a champagne foam, delivering a deep taste of the sea. It's not a signature dish, but it looked delicious so we ordered it — and I was glad we did.

The grilled shrimp on top especially was really delicious. The subtle grilled aroma and the shrimp's plump, springy texture were very satisfying 🦐

The sauce coated the noodles beautifully, so each bite delivered a rich, deep flavor — a pasta that anyone who loves that distinctive seafood umami would really enjoy. Even a non-signature dish was this good, which made me even more curious about the signature mackerel pasta.

Charcoal-grilled octopus with romesco, ₩34,000

The charcoal-grilled octopus with romesco is ₩34,000. It's grilled octopus infused with smoky char, paired with a spicy romesco sauce, and it's one of Pyu Euljiro's signature dishes.

It comes with two really big octopus legs — visually striking, and the octopus's chewy texture combined with the subtle char and the savory sauce paired nicely alongside the pasta 👍🏻

I once had truly delicious polvo (octopus) in Porto, and every time I see an octopus dish now, it reminds me of that trip. You can ask staff for pickles and they'll bring them 🙂

Truffle mushroom risotto, ₩26,000: lightly seasoned

The truffle mushroom risotto is ₩26,000. It uses three kinds of mushrooms and three cooking methods for this truffle risotto. My husband and I usually love truffle, so the moment I saw it on the menu I knew I had to order it.

The rice grains were plump, giving it a memorable bite, and the mushrooms on top made it look great too. The mushrooms' umami and soft texture went well together, and the truffle aroma came through subtly. That said, since we usually eat on the saltier side, the seasoning felt a bit lighter than we'd have liked.

Is Pyu Euljiro worth it with a baby? Final thoughts

Overall, Pyu Euljiro (PHEW) had a great atmosphere and a spacious, comfortable dining room, making for a relaxed meal. Having parking available was the biggest plus, and being able to comfortably bring the baby along made it even more satisfying 🤎

If you're after a nice-atmosphere restaurant in Euljiro — for a date, a group gathering, or a weekend brunch with a baby like us — I'd recommend visiting Pyu Euljiro (PHEW).
