For an in-laws' birthday, four adults booked ahead and ate in the private room at the back, ordering three servings of wood-fired grilled mackerel, spicy stir-fried pork and seasoned cockles, with the induction plate left on its lowest setting so everything stayed warm to the last bite. Despite being a grilled fish restaurant, Geumdeungeo has no fishy smell at all, and with tower parking included it is an easy choice for a meal out with parents. ## Good to know - **Address**: 2nd floor, 57 Deulan-ro, Suseong-gu, Daegu - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–21:20 (break 15:30–17:00, last order 20:40) - **Parking**: Parking on the building's 1st floor; dedicated tower parking covered for up to 2 hours - **Wood-fired grilled mackerel**: 3 servings, 19,000 won - **Spicy stir-fried pork**: 1 serving, 20,000 won - **Seasoned cockles**: 9,000 won - **Good to know**: Reservations accepted, group seating, high chairs, wheelchair accessible, takeout discount - **Dessert**: Apricot juice, gangjeong (crisp rice sweets), Starbucks bean coffee machine, ice cups - **Price reference**: ₩19,000 ≈ $14 · ₩20,000 ≈ $15 · ₩9,000 ≈ $6.7 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Aug 30, 2026* ![Signature wood-fired grilled mackerel at Geumdeungeo Deulanguil Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deuranggil-private-room-birthday/geumdeungeo-deuranggil-private-room-birthday-01-1ca3q-m-1200.webp) For my father-in-law's birthday, I went on a mission to serve grilled fish — something we'd never dare cook at home because of the smell! 🐟 I'd already heard great things about 'Geumdeungeo Deulanguil Main Branch' as a Suseong Lake spot for parent meals, with its tidy semi-course Korean setup, so I made a reservation ahead and went. ![Exterior and entrance of Geumdeungeo Deulanguil Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deuranggil-private-room-birthday/geumdeungeo-deuranggil-private-room-birthday-02-1vpht-725.webp) ## Where is Geumdeungeo Deulanguil Main Branch, and what are its hours?

A private room on Deulanguil with no fishy smell at all Since we'd booked ahead, we were shown to a private, room-like seating area toward the back. The moment we walked in, we were both impressed by the high ceilings and stylish interior... 🤍 Turns out the building even won a design award! Even though it's a grilled fish restaurant, there wasn't a hint of fishy smell and the ventilation was excellent, making it a genuinely comfortable Deulanguil room restaurant atmosphere for bringing parents to. ## 3. The semi-course spread cured with nuruk salt At Geumdeungeo, they age nutritious mackerel with rice nuruk salt made from natural sun-dried salt sourced from New Zealand's clean waters! That's some serious dedication, right?! ![Room seating and table setup at Geumdeungeo Deulanguil Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deuranggil-private-room-birthday/geumdeungeo-deuranggil-private-room-birthday-06-1lnwy-900.webp) ![Sign explaining nuruk salt-aged mackerel](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deuranggil-private-room-birthday/geumdeungeo-deuranggil-private-room-birthday-07-f247t-900.webp) ![Basic table setting of the Geumdeungeo semi-course Korean meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/geumdeungeo-deuranggil-private-room-birthday/geumdeungeo-deuranggil-private-room-birthday-08-t9q4b-900.webp) For our family outing of four adults, we ordered the signature wood-fired grilled mackerel (3 servings/₩19,000) along with spicy stir-fried pork (1 serving/₩20,000) and cockle salad (₩9,000)!
