I shared bisque red shrimp linguine and fresh basil pesto & burrata pizza with an older friend who had helped me so much; the portions, calm setting, and 11th-floor view were all lovely. Verdict: the bisque pasta is a must-order. ## Good to know - **Address**: 26 Myeongdong-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea (UNESCO Hall, 11th floor) - **Hours (Mon–Fri)**: 11:00–21:00; break 15:00–17:00; last orders 14:00 and 20:00 - **Saturday hours**: 11:00–21:30; break 15:50–17:00; last orders 14:50 and 20:30 - **Sunday hours**: 11:00–21:00; break 15:50–17:00; last orders 14:50 and 20:00 - **Parking & reservations**: No parking; reservations available - **Private rooms**: Small rooms available from 10 people; up to 100 people - **Corkage**: ₩30,000 per 750 ml wine bottle; ₩50,000 per 700 ml whiskey bottle - **Takeout discount**: 20% off takeout picked up at the restaurant, except in December *as written by the visitor on Sep 12, 2026* ## Mano di Chef Myeongdong Branch on the 11th floor of UNESCO Hall I usually tend to hang out only in my own neighborhood, you know^^? But this time, there was an older friend who had helped me out so much, so I came to Myeongdong to have a meal together somewhere nice! There are lots of branches, but I absolutely don’t regret choosing the Myeongdong one haha. Myeongdong has really come back to life?.. I went on a Saturday, and all the people totally drained my energy haha.. Mano di Chef Myeongdong Branch is on the 11th floor of UNESCO Hall, about a 300 m walk from Exit 5 of Euljiro 1-ga Station- ![Location guide for Mano di Chef Myeongdong Branch on the 11th floor of UNESCO Hall](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-bisque-linguine-burrata-pizza/myeongdong-bisque-linguine-burrata-pizza-01-1f5x2-899.webp) And there’s no parkingㅠㅠ Parking in Myeongdong is... well, you know^^ ![Notice that parking is unavailable in Myeongdong](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-bisque-linguine-burrata-pizza/myeongdong-bisque-linguine-burrata-pizza-02-1tzxs-900.webp) ## Can you make reservations or hold group gatherings? You can reserve through Naver, Catch Table, or by phone- They also have private rooms inside. The small rooms are available from 10 people, and they can accommodate up to 100 people, so if you’re going as a group, definitely ask about it! Mano di Chef also allows wine corkage! It’s ₩30,000 per bottle for wine (750 ml) and ₩50,000 per bottle for whiskey (700 ml). If you have a favorite wine or whiskey, you can enjoy it with your meal. The interior felt neat and calm- I went during the day, but I think the atmosphere would be even nicer in the evening. Perfect for a date or anniversary hehe. They have high chairs too, so there’s no need to worry about bringing a baby! There are lots of tables, so it would be great for a wedding-invitation gathering or a group get-together, and it seems like such a nice spot for dates or blind dates too^^ ![Spacious table area at Mano di Chef Myeongdong Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-bisque-linguine-burrata-pizza/myeongdong-bisque-linguine-burrata-pizza-03-i5gvz-900.webp) ### Membership and takeout discount - Points can be earned and used at all branches - Earn 1% of the payment amount in points from your first visit - Birthday coupon: one pizza free - 20% off takeout picked up at the restaurant, except in December Mano di Chef runs various events too.

I think coming in the evening and having your meal with wine would make for such a lovely atmosphere. > Bisque red shrimp linguine / Fresh basil pesto & burrata pizza We considered ordering one more dish, but I think we would have left a lot if we had! The portions were bigger than I expected :0 ## What does the bisque red shrimp linguine taste like? It was a best-seller among the pasta dishes, so we ordered it, and I seriously, hugely recommend this one.. ![Bisque red shrimp linguine pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-bisque-linguine-burrata-pizza/myeongdong-bisque-linguine-burrata-pizza-16-kery1-900.webp) It was incredibly savory, and I think that was because of the bisque sauce made by simmering red shrimp!! ![Linguine with red shrimp bisque sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-bisque-linguine-burrata-pizza/myeongdong-bisque-linguine-burrata-pizza-17-8eaub-900.webp) I loved that it had plenty of octopus and red shrimp, not just tiny little bits^0^ No fighting over who gets to eat the octopus lololol ![Linguine with octopus and red shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-bisque-linguine-burrata-pizza/myeongdong-bisque-linguine-burrata-pizza-18-1j4dt-900.webp) The red shrimp was really chewy and bouncy. I was surprised that the nicely browned octopus was tender rather than chewy! The wide linguine noodles went so well with the bisque sauce. ![Bisque sauce and wide linguine noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-bisque-linguine-burrata-pizza/myeongdong-bisque-linguine-burrata-pizza-19-8rnob-900.webp) It was my first time having a proper bisque pasta, and I fell for its deep flavor and savoriness. Afterward, I thought that whenever I see bisque pasta, I’ll have to order it without fail.. ## Fresh basil pesto & burrata pizza ![Fresh basil pesto burrata pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-bisque-linguine-burrata-pizza/myeongdong-bisque-linguine-burrata-pizza-20-11x0d-900.webp) The fresh basil pesto & burrata pizza was a best-seller among the pizzas! It’s an herb pizza topped with burrata, prosciutto, arugula, and sun-dried tomatoes over basil pesto. ![Basil pizza topped with burrata and prosciutto](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-bisque-linguine-burrata-pizza/myeongdong-bisque-linguine-burrata-pizza-21-1fldc-900.webp) Since it’s baked in a wood-fired oven, the crust is chewy and delicious too! The basil pesto is spread all over it. If you love basil, you really have to try this one- ![Basil pesto and sun-dried tomato pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-bisque-linguine-burrata-pizza/myeongdong-bisque-linguine-burrata-pizza-22-1dli4-900.webp) The soft flavors are suddenly joined by the sweet-and-salty punch of sun-dried tomatoes here and there^^ There was a reason they added them. Such food geniuses.. ![Basil burrata pizza picked up and eaten by hand](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-bisque-linguine-burrata-pizza/myeongdong-bisque-linguine-burrata-pizza-23-vr3m9-900.webp) I diligently cut it with a knife, then felt awkward and picked it up with my hands haha. I’m someone who has always eaten pizza with my hands, hehe. ## From dates to wedding-invitation gatherings The restaurant has an upscale atmosphere, and since it’s on the 11th floor, the view outside is lovely too- So I think it would be wonderful for a date, blind date, or anniversary. It’s spacious with lots of tables, so I recommend it for groups as well! Of course, the food was delicious, and the plating was pretty, so we had a very happy meal^^ The portions were surprisingly generous, and we left nice and full haha. ![Plated meal at Mano di Chef Myeongdong Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongdong-bisque-linguine-burrata-pizza/myeongdong-bisque-linguine-burrata-pizza-24-1hc86-1200.webp) ## Where it is - Mano di Chef Myeongdong Branch (마노디셰프 명동점) - 26 Myeongdong-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울 중구 명동길 26 유네스코회관 11층) - 서울특별시 중구 명동길 26 유네스코회관 11층 - 37.5634602, 126.9837519 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A7%88%EB%85%B8%EB%94%94%EC%85%B0%ED%94%84%20%EB%AA%85%EB%8F%99%EC%A0%90/@37.5634602,126.9837519,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@water-glass-seoul/myeongdong-bisque-linguine-burrata-pizza/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
