Ocean-view café near Pyoseon Beach, Jeju: Café 7 Budu port seats

Café 7 Budu is an ocean-view café at Pyoseon Port, right in front of Pyoseon Beach in Seogwipo, Jeju. With two hours to spare before hotel check-in, the writer ordered the handmade patbingsu (shaved ice with red bean) served in a ttukbaegi earthenware pot for two at 17,000 won and a Heo Jun Recipe ssanghwa herbal tea at 9,000 won, then settled into an inner second-floor seat looking out at the boats docked in Pyoseon Port. Staff take photos at the staircase photo zone only for guests who book through Naver, so reserving ahead is worth it.

Reservation-only lunch fine dining in Seongsan, Jeju: Nansan-ri

Nansan-ri Restaurant is a reservation-only course restaurant tucked inside Nansan-ri village in Seongsan-eup, Seogwipo, Jeju. An hour's drive from Jeju Airport, I took the 11:30 first lunch seating and ate a six-plate course at 38,000 won per person, from fern butter bread to mixed berry panna cotta. For a one-night Jeju trip, Nansan-ri Restaurant makes a good first meal if you leave plenty of time to get there.
