Jjukkumi restaurant with baby chair, self-serve bar in Gapyeong

Paldang Jikhwa Bul Jjukkumi (팔당직화불쭈꾸미) is a family restaurant in Seorak-myeon, Gapyeong, Gyeonggi, serving griddled spicy octopus and old-school pork cutlet. The writer's family, including a 15-month-old baby and grandmother, stopped in for their first meal of a Gapyeong trip, ordering griddled jjukkumi for two and a handmade sirloin pork cutlet, and refilling from a self-serve bar loaded with tteokbokki, sundae, and jjolmyeon. With dedicated parking right out front and a baby chair on hand, it's an easy pick for family meals with young kids.

Takeout dakgalbi near Namiseom, Gapyeong for a pension dinner: Hanok

Hanok Dakgalbi Gapyeong Main Branch is a dakgalbi (stir-fried spicy chicken) restaurant near Namiseom on the Bukhangang riverside in Gapyeong, Gyeonggi. A family of three took home 2 servings of the original spice level (350g per serving for takeout) and cooked it themselves at their pension, finding it still cold hours later thanks to the insulated bag and ice pack. The portions were generous and not too spicy, so they're planning to order takeout again on their next Gapyeong pension trip.
