Cafés, restaurants and places in Daegu, written by bloggers who went there.
Hands Coffee Dongchon Yuwonji Branch is a café in Dong-gu, Daegu, with Geumho River views, parking, floor seating, and a rooftop. I visited with my child and enjoyed the chewy blueberry cream cheese waffle, but found the old-fashioned shaved ice disappointing because the ice was coarse and melted quickly.
Shabu20 Daegu Bokhyeon branch is an all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu restaurant on Gonghang-ro in Buk-gu, Daegu. I visited on a weekend afternoon, paid ₩26,900 per person, and enjoyed two broths, meat, vegetables, draft beer, side dishes, and dessert. The meat was satisfying, and the restaurant offered plenty to eat in one place.
Uldong Bossam (울동보쌈) is a Korean restaurant on Gyeongsanggamyeong-gil in Jung-gu, Daegu. I had the large-meat bossam set and a cheese-topped shredded potato pancake late at night; the spicy stew and crisp pancake stood out, while the minari pancake was sold out.
Hyangtaek Seongseo Keimyung University Branch is a Korean restaurant in Dalseo, Daegu, near Keimyung University’s main gate. We had Spanish mackerel gondre rice, soybean-paste eggplant rice, and mushroom pancake for 14,000, 13,000, and 6,000 won. A clean, filling meal when you need a break from intense flavors.
Taegyeongok is a Korean restaurant near Kyungpook National University Hospital Station in Jung-gu, Daegu. We had Seoul-style bulgogi piled high with mung bean sprouts, generously filled dumplings, and unexpectedly excellent spicy Hamheung naengmyeon. Verdict: the sweet bulgogi and savory-spicy noodles were an especially memorable pairing.
Jeju Seobine Haejangguk is a Korean restaurant near E-Mart in Manchon, Suseong, Daegu. I had spicy beef haejangguk with blood curd and Korean beef yukhoe mulhoe; the soup was sharply spicy, while the chilled raw-beef dish balanced it well.
With Me Hair is a one-on-one hair salon on Dongseong-ro 4-gil in Jung, Daegu. I received a recovery perm for fine, limp hair in about 1 hour 10 minutes and was happy with the curls, though the building parking is limited.
Geumdeungeo Deulanguil Main Branch is a seafood restaurant in Suseong, Daegu, where I had oven-grilled mackerel and spicy stir-fried pork with my mother and maternal grandmother. There was a short weekday lunch wait, but the lightly seasoned mackerel, sweet-spicy pork, and self-service side-dish bar made for a satisfying family meal.
Gogi 9 Dan Chimsan Direct Branch is a beef barbecue restaurant in Chimsan-dong, Buk-gu, Daegu, with parking, private rooms, group seating, and a playroom. We visited for weekday lunch, ordered half portions each of fresh galbi and hanging tender, plus the ₩18,000 9 Dan Set; the spread was plentiful, though the set is limited to one per platter of grilled meat.
Sin Yeongung Cheonggukjang Haemulttukbaegi Seongseo Moda Outlet branch is a Korean restaurant opposite Moda Outlet in Dalseo, Daegu. I tried the medium, regular-spicy steamed seafood and cheonggukjang seafood ttukbaegi; the octopus was tender, the portions were generous, and the broth was clean and refreshing.
Iggeulrida is a one-person hair salon on the first floor of the Casa Milla complex in Sincheon-dong, Daegu. I had a layered mid-length cut, straightening, and a C-curl perm to reduce my daily styling time, and liked the lighter length and neatly settled ends. The basement parking entrance felt narrow.
Burnish Resto is a Western restaurant in Dongin-dong, Jung-gu, Daegu. I tried anchovy bottarga and amatriciana pasta; the chewy noodles, flavorful sauces, quick service, and bright wooden interior made for a relaxed lunch.
