Otter Rabbit House is a European-vintage brunch café in Dalseo, Daegu, near Wolgwang Waterfront Park. I enjoyed pies, pastries and brunch, especially the chocolate pistachio croissant. For warm pastries and photo-ready interiors, Otter Rabbit House gets my recommendation 🙂
Donggok Jemyeon Daegu Dongseong-ro Main Branch is a Korean restaurant in Jung-gu, Daegu, serving kalguksu and suyuk. We had Chogye bibim kalguksu, extra-rich chicken kalguksu, and a half portion of gabrisal suyuk, and the high chair made the meal fairly easy with a baby. Verdict: the tangy, lightly spicy Chogye bibim kalguksu was the clear winner haha.

Hyangtaek Daebong Branch is a Korean restaurant in Daebong-dong, Jung-gu, Daegu. We ordered eggplant doenjang rice and chamnamul squid rice together, alternating between mild and spicy-sour flavors; even a child who does not usually like eggplant enjoyed it wrapped in gim. Verdict: a lovely choice for neat, gently seasoned Korean food.
