Cafés, restaurants and places in Gangwon, written by bloggers who went there.
QooQoo is an all-you-can-eat sushi buffet in Toegye-dong, Chuncheon. I visited with my child on a weekday evening, ate sushi, grilled dishes, and desserts, and used the playroom. The playroom was modest but easy to keep an eye on, letting the adults finish their meal more comfortably.
Yes Susan is a red snow crab and king crab takeout shop at the entrance to Sokcho Jungang Market in Sokcho, Gangwon. I took home a ₩25,000 red snow crab lunch box and an ₩8,000 marinated crab fried rice lunch box; the prepared crab made eating and cleanup easier, though the shop had sold out on a weekend evening.
Yes Susan is a seafood stall in Sokcho Central Market, Gangwon. On the second day of my trip, I took a two-crab red snow crab lunchbox and two fried rices back to my accommodation; the crab was easy to eat and the fried rice was nutty, though the market was crowded and king crab lunchboxes had sold out.
Yeoyejeong is a barbecue restaurant near Yangyang IC in Yangyang, Gangwon, where I stopped with my child after our trip for meat naengmyeon, meat sotbap, and kimchi jjigae. The spacious parking and dining area, high chair, and drawing supplies made the meal easy with a child. My child enjoyed the sweet marinated ribs, while the rich kimchi jjigae stood out to me.
Cafe Dunchi is a café beside the Namdaecheon River in Yangyang, Gangwon, where visitors can take an electric boat ride. My family had drinks, rode the boat with the children, and played at the neighboring ecological park; the Sunday afternoon visit was quiet and relaxing.
Cafe Dunchi is a café at the Namdaecheon Water Leisure Sports Center in Yangyang, Gangwon. I rode a six-person round electric boat with my two young children and drinks, and liked being able to sit facing one another; the wide parking area and stroller-friendly surroundings were also convenient.
Sinhaeburi Hoejip is a seafood restaurant on Daepo-hang-gil in Sokcho, Gangwon, where I ordered the small assorted sashimi platter during my trip. It came with flounder, olive flounder, mullet, yellowtail, mulhoe, and plentiful seafood sides; I was too full to try the included spicy fish stew.
Baegya Coffee is a large bakery café directly across from Sageunjin Beach in Gangneung. I stopped by around its weekend opening time for coffee and bread by the sea; it was quiet with little wait, and I preferred the fig campagne over the other bread.
Yeon Makchang Dangye Branch is a makchang restaurant on Cheonsa-ro in Dangye-dong, Wonju. My boyfriend and I started with a half-and-half order of Yeon makchang and special makchang, then ate five servings total; I preferred the thicker, chewier special makchang, though I missed having fried rice.
Hwangbuja Twigim (황부자튀김) is a Korean restaurant in Sokcho Central Market serving squid sundae and fried foods. I ordered Set No. 12 with nurungji ojingeo sundae and Abai sundae; there was a wait, but the crisp exterior and moist filling held up well even after some time.
Yeoyejeong is a salt-aged beef and pork restaurant in Seo-myeon, Yangyang, Gangwon. After watching the sunset at Surfy Beach, I had pork belly that was thick yet tender, with juicy lean meat; there was a wait when I arrived and customers kept coming in during the meal.
Jin Seiromushi is a Korean restaurant on Seonsa-ro 2-gil in Sokcho, where I ordered a red snow crab soy-marinated crab set meal and a soy-marinated shrimp set meal. With pot-cooked rice and a wide range of side dishes, it was a filling meal; the spacious parking area was also convenient, though hinoki-steamed dishes require advance reservations.
