Sincheon-dong Mexican restaurant: patata and grapefruit ade, Habanero

Habanero Daegu Sincheon is a Mexican restaurant in Sincheon-dong, Suseong, Daegu. On a sunny autumn day the writer and her husband sat at a second-floor floor-to-ceiling window seat and shared patata (a whole potato topped with cream sauce and beef), a beef quesadilla, beef cheese tacos and a grapefruit ade served in a frozen ice cup. The patata was the standout, making Habanero Daegu Sincheon a Mexican restaurant in Daegu worth revisiting.

Haeundae Western restaurant, truffle cream risotto at 11am: Bueokgan

Bueokgan Haeundae Branch is a Western restaurant on Dalmaji-gil 117beon-nagil in Haeundae, Busan, sharing its building with a Chinese restaurant and a bakery. Arriving with her husband right at the 11am opening, the writer ordered truffle cream risotto, arugula prosciutto pizza and pumpkin soup on the table tablet, and the custard-rich pumpkin soup was the standout. With a sunlit dining room like a European home and on-site parking, Bueokgan Haeundae Branch suits dates, family meals and wedding-invitation get-togethers alike.

Haeundae bakery café blueberry Danish plated at home: Low & Sweet

Low & Sweet Bakery is a European-looking bakery café on Haeri-dan-gil in Haeundae, Busan. A blueberry Danish, an egg tart and an iced americano were taken home from Low & Sweet Bakery and plated there, and the bakery's famous salt bread had already sold out. The egg tart is textbook crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, and the blueberry Danish stayed flaky even hours later.

Dalseo, Daegu makchang house with beef radish soup: Supbul Makchang

Supbul Makchang is an Iberico makchang (grilled pork intestine) restaurant with a bamboo-grove outdoor patio in Bolli-dong, Dalseo, Daegu. The set of 2 servings of makchang plus 1 serving of galmaegisal (pork skirt), 1 serving of pork neck and Cheongdo hanjae minari (water dropwort) came with beef radish soup, jangjorim (soy-braised beef) warmed on the grill and cooked kimchi, and the meal finished with Hamhung mul naengmyeon (cold noodles) and hot-pot rice with doenjang jjigae. Between the atmosphere, the flavour and the generous line-up, Supbul Makchang is an easy recommendation for a group meat dinner in Dalseo.

Wood-gallery interior Korean set meal in Daegu: Cafe Dongi Daemyeong

Cafe Dongi Daemyeong Station Branch is a single-serving Korean set meal (hanjeongsik) restaurant on Daemyeongbokgae-ro 4-gil in Nam-gu, Daegu. The restaurant began as a handmade wood furniture shop, so the interior feels like an art gallery, and the meal here was the grandmother's stir-fried jjukkumi (baby octopus) set, the flame-grilled pork set and mini tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork), with a fried egg cooked at the self-serve bar. The springy jjukkumi was the highlight, and with sets around 10,000 won, Cafe Dongi delivers on both price and satisfaction.

Korean restaurant on Jongno in Daegu: 3-step seaweed wrap at Hyangtaek

Hyangtaek Daegu Jongno Branch is a neat Korean restaurant set in a hanok down an alley off Jongno in Jung-gu, Daegu. The order here was samchi gondre bap (Spanish mackerel with gondre herb rice) and yukhoe bibimbap, eaten by the "how to eat it deliciously" card on the table: mix the rice, wrap it in gopchang gim (crinkled seaweed), then add bibim jeotgal (seasoned salted seafood) and the house sauce. For a mild, easy-on-the-stomach Korean meal in central Daegu, Hyangtaek Daegu Jongno Branch is a solid pick.
