Dog-friendly burger lunch at Euljiro 1-ga after a GTX ride: Daily Fix

Taking the GTX from KINTEX for a lunch trip to Euljiro

I was heading into Seoul for a casual day out and picked a handmade burger place in Euljiro for lunch: Daily Fix Euljiro (데일리픽스 을지로점). I hadn't been over to the Seoul side in a while, so I figured I'd eat out while I was at it.

I took the GTX from KINTEX into Seoul, and it was quicker than I expected, so the trip didn't feel like a hassle at all. It felt like a nice, light start to the day.

After arriving, I headed straight to Daily Fix, which I'd already picked out. My criteria were simple from the start: somewhere near Euljiro where I could bring my dog, that wasn't too crowded, and where I could have a proper meal. So dog-friendly was the number one requirement, and Daily Fix fit it, which made the choice easy.

Where is Daily Fix Euljiro?

Daily Fix Euljiro is on the street that runs straight on from Exit 1 of Euljiro Station, tucked inside an alley rather than on the main road. Even as a first-timer I found it without any trouble, and parking in the building is reportedly free for 30 minutes.

The area around Euljiro fills up with office workers at lunchtime, but once you step into the alley it's quieter than you'd expect, which made eating there much more relaxing. I could see why Daily Fix often comes up when people look for a place to eat near Euljiro.

It's close enough to walk from City Hall Station too, so access is decent. This stretch often gets searched together with Euljiro Station restaurants.

What is the atmosphere at Daily Fix?

The Daily Fix Euljiro space feels more like a diner than a burger joint. It isn't set up like typical fast food where you eat quickly and leave; it has a diner feel, with soft lighting and gentle music.

The layout wouldn't feel awkward even if you came alone. Overall it's a space where you can focus a bit more on your meal, so it's nice for lingering.

Because of that vibe, Daily Fix left me with the impression of a place where you experience the space itself, not just somewhere that serves burgers, even among the restaurants near Euljiro Station.

Is Daily Fix Euljiro dog-friendly?

Yes, Daily Fix Euljiro lets you come in and eat with your dog, and that was the biggest reason I chose it this time. Around Euljiro there aren't many restaurants that let dogs in, so the options are limited, and Daily Fix met the condition, so it was a natural pick.

When I actually visited, the layout wasn't inconvenient for eating with a dog, either. So being one of the few places near Euljiro where you can bring a dog was quite impressive.

How do the burgers and fries taste at Daily Fix?

The burger at Daily Fix tasted steady and not overly punchy from the first bite. It's meat-focused, so it isn't heavy, and the savoriness builds as you chew, which makes it easy to eat. The patty is thick too, so the texture really comes through.

The fries were more satisfying than I expected: thick enough to be fun to chew, and not too greasy, so I kept reaching for more. Even by Euljiro Station standards, I felt it was a perfectly good setup.

Bacon cheese burger, double cheese burger and coleslaw: what we ordered

What I ordered at Daily Fix that day was the bacon cheese burger (₩12,900), the double cheese burger (₩15,900) and coleslaw (₩5,900).

Bacon cheese burger

With the bacon cheese burger, the first thing I noticed on the first bite was the bacon, with its subtle smoky aroma spreading out, followed by the juicy patty and the cheese flowing together naturally, so the balance was steady overall. It doesn't hit you with a strong punch; the savoriness builds as you chew, so it's easy to eat.

Double cheese burger

The double cheese burger was definitely hefty, just like the name says. With two patties, the meaty flavor came through more strongly with every bite, and I liked that the cheese was melted without being overdone, so it finished without feeling greasy.

Coleslaw

The side of coleslaw was fresher than I expected thanks to the special sauce, and the cabbage stayed crunchy, so it worked well between bites of burger to reset the palate.

Overall the menu is simple, but that actually keeps the focus on the food, so it was easy to enjoy, and the everyday feel that the name Daily Fix suggests came through naturally.

Is Daily Fix Euljiro worth going back to?

Daily Fix Euljiro was a handmade burger place that was easy to enjoy as a meal. The flavors don't stand out too much, which is why it's comfortable to eat, and the atmosphere is steady enough that lingering isn't bad either.

The dog-friendly policy in particular felt like a clear plus, and what I remember most is how much it widened my options. By Euljiro standards, both access and the menu were decent, and it's easily a candidate among Euljiro Station restaurants. The space itself left an impression too, so it's a place I'd think of again next time.
