Garak-dong gopchang grill with baby chairs: Midang Hanwoo Gopchang

Midang Hanwoo Gopchang is a grilled hanwoo (Korean beef) intestine restaurant near Garak Market in Garak-dong, Songpa, Seoul. Visiting with a 10-month-old baby, the writer ordered 2 servings of gopchang (grilled beef intestines) and received five long lengths of gopchang with generous tteok (rice cake) and potato sides, plus complimentary cheonyeop (beef tripe) and yeomtong (beef heart) — filling enough on the gopchang alone. After leaving food behind on a 3-serving order last time, 2 servings is the right call for two people at Midang Hanwoo Gopchang.

Paju ssambap restaurant with cheonggukjang and senbei: Simhaksan

Simhaksan Deulkkot Ssambap is a ssambap (lettuce-wrap rice) set-course restaurant on Dolgotji-gil in Paju, Gyeonggi, serving just two menus: Deul-jeongsik and Kkot-jeongsik. Visiting with a 10-month-old baby, the restaurant provided a baby chair, and two orders of Deul-jeongsik came with stir-fried spicy pork and stir-fried squid in portions filling enough even without rice, plus cheonggukjang (rich fermented soybean stew), sweet pumpkin porridge and self-serve senbei crackers for dessert. If you want a restaurant near Paju Premium Outlets that suits every generation, Simhaksan Deulkkot Ssambap is the answer.
