For a lunch with a friend, the writer ordered basil pesto pasta at 17,000 won, ricotta cheese salad at 15,000 won and salmon rice bowl at 16,000 won and split all three, a combination that worked well because nothing overlapped. With homemade sauces, salmon aged in-house and a cozy wood-toned room, Pastiar suits both an easy Yeonnam-dong lunch and a date. ## Good to know - **Address**: 3 Donggyo-ro 38an-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, 2nd floor - **Hours**: 10:00 - 22:00 (last order 21:30) - **Closed**: Mondays - **Parking**: Not available - **Basil pesto pasta**: 17,000 won - **Ricotta cheese salad**: 15,000 won - **Salmon rice bowl**: 16,000 won - **Price reference**: ₩17,000 ≈ $12.5 · ₩15,000 ≈ $11 · ₩16,000 ≈ $11.5 (2026-09-20) *as written by the visitor on Sep 19, 2026* There are so many pretty restaurants in Yeonnam-dong that it's always hard to pick one that nails both atmosphere and taste. I had a lunch date with a friend in the neighborhood, so while looking for a nice-vibed restaurant I ended up at Pastiar, which recently opened. ![Exterior of the building housing Pastiar in Yeonnam-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch-01-1mn2c-900.webp) The menu ranges from pasta to rice bowls, salads and steak, and I was curious because most of the dishes are made in-house, homemade style. ![Entrance view of Pastiar](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch-02-1g1h4-900.webp) ## Where is Pastiar in Yeonnam-dong, and what are its hours? Pastiar is located at 3 Donggyo-ro 38an-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, on the 2nd floor. It's open from 10:00 to 22:00 with last order at 21:30, closed on Mondays.

Walking into Pastiar, the wood-tone interior mixed with plants and small decor pieces gave it that cute, cozy feel typical of Yeonnam-dong. The window seats especially let in natural light, and the whole place felt quiet and cozy — it seemed like a great spot for a Yeonnam-dong date or blind date. There are also tables for larger groups, so it looked like a good option for gatherings with friends or engagement announcement meetups too, haha. ![Wood-tone interior seating at Pastiar](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch-03-t3ojw-900.webp) ## What is on the menu at Pastiar? Pastiar's menu was more varied than I expected — ragu pasta, bulgogi cream pasta, basil pesto and other pastas, plus sous vide steak, salmon dishes, rice bowls and salads. ![Pastiar's pasta and steak menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch-04-1es52-m-900.webp) ![Pastiar's rice bowl and salad menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch-05-128kt-m-900.webp) They sell highballs too. ![Pastiar's drink menu including highballs](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch-06-1n23w-m-900.webp) ## Three dishes two people can share at Pastiar ![Lunch spread set on the table at Pastiar](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch-07-1v0aw-900.webp) Basil pesto pasta ₩17,000, ricotta cheese salad ₩15,000, salmon rice bowl ₩16,000 — these are the three I ordered. By picking one pasta plus a salad and a rice dish, nothing overlapped, so the combination worked really well for sharing between two people. There's a side dish too haha. Homemade pickles! So good. ![Homemade pickles made at Pastiar](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch-08-hisc3-900.webp) ### Ricotta cheese salad, 15,000 won I ordered the ricotta cheese salad to eat alongside the pasta. Pasta alone can get a bit heavy midway through, but the fresh vegetables and ricotta cheese cleaned the palate each time — glad I ordered it together. ![A plate of Pastiar's ricotta cheese salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch-09-1dho8-900.webp) The combo of soft, mild ricotta and crunchy vegetables made it a nice light appetizer, and it also worked well as a brunch-style dish. ![Close-up of ricotta cheese and vegetables in the salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch-10-1yg5t-900.webp) ![Vertical shot of the ricotta cheese salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch-11-x13ig-900.webp) The vegetables were super fresh. ![Ricotta cheese salad topped with fresh vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch-12-1r27a-900.webp) ![A thick, creamy piece of ricotta cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch-13-1rtiq-900.webp) The cheese was thick and creamy, so good. ### Salmon rice bowl, 16,000 won Pasta alone felt like it wasn't quite enough, so I picked the salmon rice bowl as our rice dish! Pastiar ages its salmon in-house, so I was curious about the salmon dish too. ![Salmon rice bowl topped with Pastiar's aged salmon](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch-14-upkop-900.webp) Taking a bite of the tender salmon with rice, it had a clean, mild charm that was totally different from the pasta. ![A bite taken from the salmon rice bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch-15-s6lzo-900.webp) ![Close-up of rice and salmon in the bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch-16-ynutr-900.webp) If the basil pesto handled the fragrant, nutty flavors, the salmon rice bowl felt clean yet filling, keeping us full. ![Salmon rice bowl served with wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch-17-h7bom-900.webp) The salmon had no fishy taste and paired well with the wasabi. ### Basil pesto pasta, 17,000 won An oil pasta made with pesto from fresh basil — the moment it hit the table, the distinct fragrant scent of basil came through immediately. ![Pastiar's fresh basil pesto oil pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch-18-10b0q-1200.webp) Rather than heavy like a cream pasta, it was oil-based so relatively light to eat, and the basil's aroma and nutty flavor blended naturally into the noodles. ![Close-up of the basil pesto pasta noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch-19-1czzv-900.webp) The pesto wasn't too strong or salty, so it wasn't overwhelming even after a few bites, and the noodles were cooked just right, which I liked. ![Basil pesto pasta twirled on a fork](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch-20-117sa-900.webp) ![Overhead view of the basil pesto pasta plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch-21-jeruy-m-900.webp) ![Fragrant basil oil pasta close-up](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch-22-1vk42-900.webp) If you like basil, this is a dish worth ordering at Pastiar ❤️ ![Table with pasta, salad and salmon rice bowl together](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch-23-s3f59-900.webp) ![Final shot of the lunch spread at Pastiar](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch-24-fd2u2-900.webp) ## Verdict: Pastiar for a Yeonnam-dong lunch or a date Pastiar, which I found while looking for a good pasta restaurant in Yeonnam-dong, impressed me overall — from the homemade-style dishes made with their own sauces and fresh ingredients, to the cozy, emotional interior. It seems like a great fit for days when atmosphere matters, like a date or blind date, but also for a relaxed lunch with a friend in Yeonnam-dong. ## Where it is - Pastiar (파스티아르) - 3 Donggyo-ro 38an-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, 2nd floor, South Korea - 서울특별시 마포구 동교로38안길 3 2층 - 37.5619782, 126.9246538 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%8C%8C%EC%8A%A4%ED%8B%B0%EC%95%84%EB%A5%B4/@37.5619782,126.9246538,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@weekday-spoon/yeonnam-pastiar-basil-pesto-salmon-lunch/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
