Cafés, restaurants and places in Chungnam, written by bloggers who went there.
Pino Cafe is a garden café by Taehaksan Natural Recreation Forest in Pungse-myeon, Cheonan. I met my family there for my first dinner visit and enjoyed spicy aglio e olio and moist charcoal-grilled pork belly steak; three dishes were filling for us.
Napoli Shinbu is an Italian restaurant in a side street near the terminal in Sinbu-dong, Cheonan. I had calzone salad and gambas alone for lunch; both came with calzone and were filling, although I did not try the wood-fired pizza.
Yukdaejang Cheonan Baekseok Branch is a Korean restaurant in Baekseok-dong, Cheonan, serving yukgaejang soup, noodle dishes, and hot pots. We visited with the kids and had chicken yuk kalmyeon, gopchang yuk kalmyeon, Eonyang-style bulgogi, and bone-broth rice cake dumpling soup. Verdict: a filling, family-friendly stop for noodle and gopchang lovers.
Cham Dwaejitgan Cheonan Dujeong Branch is a Korean BBQ restaurant in Dujeong-dong, Cheonan, Chungnam. I tried rice-husk-smoked pork belly, flower-cut pork neck, pork jowl, fried rice, and soybean paste stew, all cooked over true charcoal. Verdict: order the pork jowl and fried rice together.
Cheongwon Sikdang Budaejjigaereul Kkeurida Cheonan Dujeong Main Branch is a budae-jjigae restaurant in Dujeong-dong, Cheonan. I ordered two servings of Songtan budae-jjigae with added woosamgyeop; the broth was rich but clean, and the free rice and ramen refills made it a filling meal.
Mimi Coffee Bangatgan is a café in Sunseong-myeon, Dangjin, with parking in front and an outdoor terrace. I ordered the Mimi Cream Latte, strawberry latte, and desserts; the cream latte balanced sweet cream with bitter coffee, while the drinks and desserts were generally quite sweet.
Pino Cafe is a large brunch café in Pungse-myeon, Cheonan, with an outdoor garden and baby facilities. I visited with my mother, younger sister, and 13-month-old niece on a weekday morning, sharing pilaf, pizza, and a sandwich outdoors. The garden was quiet, and moving around with a stroller was comfortable.
Napoli Shinbu is a wood-fired pizza and pasta restaurant in Shinbu-dong, Cheonan. I visited before a movie and enjoyed the chewy burrata pizza and flavorful shrimp cream pasta, though there is no dedicated parking lot.
Cheongwon Sikdang is a budae-jjigae restaurant in Dujeong-dong, Cheonan, Chungnam. On a weekend lunch date, we ordered two servings of Cheongwon budae-jjigae with extra ham and cheese, then added the free ramyeon noodles; the spicy broth and cheese worked well for me, though the parking directly in front is limited to about four cars.
Mimi Coffee Mill (미미커피방앗간) is a café in Sunseong-myeon, Dangjin, where I tried the MIMI Cream Latte and chestnut tiramisu. The latte was nutty and less sweet than I expected, while the tiramisu was a dessert I kept thinking about afterward.
Pino Cafe Cheonan is a café in Pungse-myeon, Dongnam-gu, Cheonan, with a garden, annex, and private outdoor tent area. I took photos in the yellow cosmos field and had an early dinner of risotto, a croissant sandwich set, and pizza; the garden scenery and crisp textures stood out.
Napoli Shinbu (나폴리신부) is a pizza restaurant in Shinbu-dong, Cheonan. On my second visit, I had burrata pizza and gamberi oil pasta; the generous arugula, burrata, and pronounced shrimp flavor stood out, while parking in nearby alleys was the one drawback.
