Dongdaegu Chinese restaurant for a late jjajang lunch: Gyeryonggak

Gyeryonggak (계룡각) is a new two-story Chinese restaurant in Sincheon-dong, Dong-gu, Daegu, near Dongdaegu Station and Shinsegae Department Store, known for 30-year-old-style lard-fried jjajang (black bean sauce) and noodles made in-house every morning. Arriving well after the lunch rush, the writer parked right beside Gyeryonggak and ordered the tray jjajangmyeon and the Sin jjamppong (spicy seafood noodle soup). The tray jjajangmyeon was nutty and thick, and the Sin jjamppong was packed with seafood and pleasantly spicy, making Gyeryonggak a solid pick for a Dongdaegu work dinner or family meal.

Golmok Naengmyeon 1966 Daegu is a good Deuran-gil lunch spot for a chilly day when you crave hot broth.

Suseongmot Indian restaurant: beef curry on garlic naan, Rama & Bavana

Rama & Bavana Suseong Lake Branch is an Indian restaurant on the 2nd floor of a building right in front of Suseongmot in Suseong, Daegu, and it has been running since 2004. At an open-window seat, the writer had tandoori tikka, beef curry with garlic naan and blueberry lassi; the spices were not strong, and topping the garlic naan with the chuck flap beef from the curry was the standout combination. Rama & Bavana Suseong Lake Branch suits a date or group outing on a day when you want something different to eat, followed by a walk around Suseongmot.
