Butcher-shop-themed bar in Gyo-dong, Daegu: Mulgogi Jeongyukjeom

Mulgogi Jeongyukjeom Daegu Gyo-dong branch is a butcher-shop-themed bar in the heart of Gyo-dong, Jung-gu, Daegu, where flounder sashimi, Korean beef yukhoe (seasoned raw beef) and beef brisket come together on one table. On a Friday evening the writer ordered the Mulgogi Jeongyukjeom set, which arrived with fish cake soup, mozzarella corn cheese, tofu kimchi and namul bibimbap (rice with seasoned vegetables), making a hearty first round. Mulgogi Jeongyukjeom opens only on Fridays and Saturdays, so it is a Gyo-dong bar worth planning your night around.

Pohang crab restaurant, live octopus and seasonal greens: Yeonggwang

Yeonggwang Hoe Daegae Center (영광회대게센타) is a long-standing raw fish and snow crab restaurant in Jukdo Market, Pohang. Two people ordered the Daegae Special Set for 2 at Yeonggwang Hoe Daegae Center and had live octopus with seasonal greens, mixed sashimi, mulhoe (cold raw fish soup), steamed snow crab and crab ramyeon, and the crab was plump even at the tail end of crab season. The 5,000 won per person table fee was well worth it: the Daegae Special Set was so generous that the spicy fish stew went unfinished.

Daegu Korean restaurant: No. 1 on Tabling, stone galbi, Bujasikdang

Banwoldang Bujasikdang is a Korean restaurant in Jung-gu, Daegu, a 1–2 minute walk from Exit 20 of Banwoldang Station. The writer took the No. 1 spot in the queue on the Tabling app, pre-ordered the fire-grilled stone galbi for 2, and loved the shredded green onions and onions stir-fried on the stone plate, wrapped in ssam greens from Maecheon Market, along with the nutty country cheonggukjang soybean paste. Banwoldang Bujasikdang is a good Banwoldang pick when you crave pork galbi but don't feel like grilling it yourself.

Tonkatsu dinner in Beomeo, Daegu: stretchy cheese katsu, Katsudam

Katsudam Beomeo is a tonkatsu restaurant in the Mark Palace Beomeo shopping arcade near Beomeo Station Exit 11 in Suseong, Daegu. At dinner the writer ordered the assorted katsu set and the hirekatsu (pork fillet cutlet) set, with cold soba and udon as sides. Katsudam Beomeo's hirekatsu was the softest the writer has ever had, and its cheese katsu still stretched even after cooling a little. With hearty sets and a drink handed over on the way out, Katsudam Beomeo is a Beomeo-dong tonkatsu spot worth becoming a regular at.

Gyeongju Korean restaurant, weekend 11am kimchi jjim for two: Goyu

Goyu (고유) is a Korean dining restaurant in the middle of Hwangnidan-gil in Gyeongju, at 49 Sajeong-ro. The writer visited Goyu with her husband at 11am on a weekend and ordered the signature kimchi jjim (braised kimchi stew) set for two: pork kimchi jjim, cheese potato pancake, eggplant gangjeong (crispy glazed eggplant) and drinks. The meat-packed pork kimchi jjim and a seaweed soup with meat, which impressed a writer who normally doesn't enjoy seaweed soup, stood out; Goyu is busy from opening on weekends, so book on Naver before you go.

Gyeongju mochi shop: 10:40 AM weekend queue after a sellout, Tareudang

Tareudang (타르당) is a takeout fruit mochi and tart dessert shop in the heart of Hwangridan-gil, Gyeongju. After the mochi sold out on a first visit, the writer joined the line at 10:40 AM on a weekend, got in 2nd, and took home giant blueberry yogurt (₩6,500), gold kiwi and pineapple (₩5,500 each) mochi in a cooler bag. Thanks to the thick Greek-yogurt filling of the blueberry yogurt mochi, Tareudang is now a stop on every Hwangridan-gil trip.

Banwoldang pasta place, Daegu: vongole & jjamppong for two, Dana

Dana Dongseong-ro Main Branch is a two-level Western restaurant on the 2nd floor of a building on Dongseong-ro 2-gil near Banwoldang, in Jung-gu, Daegu. Two people shared vongole pasta, Shanghai jjamppong pasta (pasta in the style of spicy Korean-Chinese seafood noodles) and a beef flap steak; the two differently styled pastas never got boring, and the flap steak was the most tender steak the writer has ever had. With every pasta at a flat 12,500 won and the steak in the 20,000 won range, Dana Dongseong-ro Main Branch is a great-value spot for Western food in Daegu.

Gongju Korean restaurant, late-lunch tteokgalbi add-ons: Bapkkot Hana

Bapkkot Hana Pieotne (밥꽃하나피었네) is a Korean set-meal restaurant on Sinwonsa-ro in Gyeryong-myeon, Gongju, Chungnam, near Gyeryongsan mountain. On a late lunch at Bapkkot Hana Pieotne, the writer ordered the charcoal pork stir-fry set and added one soy-sauce and one gochujang (red chili paste) tteokgalbi (grilled short rib patty). The side dishes, handmade tofu doenjang (soybean paste) soup and wrap greens grown on the restaurant's own farm came in generous portions. Bapkkot Hana Pieotne is a good pick for a healthy, mildly seasoned meal made without artificial seasoning.

Jangjak Saenggalbi Jongno Main Branch is a three-floor saenggalbi (fresh, unmarinated rib) restaurant in Jongno, Jung-gu, Daegu, near Dongseongno. On a visit just after 6 PM, the order was 500g of Uiseong garlic saenggalbi (in the ₩50,000 range), doenjang-jjigae (soybean paste stew) and a bowl of rice; staff grilled the ribs to the end, and a cypress-steamed dish came free. With little smoke, a clean dining room and a generous 500g portion, Jangjak Saenggalbi is a solid pick for a team dinner or an evening meal.

Gyeongju mochi shop: samples, then mango, red kiwi & melon, Tareudang

Tareudang is a takeout dessert shop in the heart of Hwangridan-gil, Gyeongju, selling jumbo fruit mochi, tarts and Shanghai butter tteok (rice cake). The writer visited less than an hour after opening, tried the samples, then bought one jumbo mango, one red kiwi and one musk melon mochi, plus a separate 1,000-won cooler pack, to eat at home. The mango mochi, packed with fruit, was the favorite, and Tareudang's soft, chewy jumbo fruit mochi are worth buying again on the next Hwangridan-gil visit.
