Cafés, restaurants and places in Gangwon, written by bloggers who went there.
Jin Seiromushi is a Korean restaurant in Sokcho, Gangwon, where I had marinated red snow crab and shrimp set meals with my child in a private room. The many side dishes, pot-cooked rice, tender shrimp, and easy-to-eat crab made for a filling family meal.
Sokcho Tourist & Fishery Market Large Parking Lot is a seafood takeout spot in Sokcho, Gangwon. I took home two red snow crabs and two crab-shell fried rice portions to Ansan; the generous food and careful wrapping made it easy to enjoy at home.
Cafe Dunchi is a café beside the Namdaecheon River in Yangyang, Gangwon, where I had drinks and took a 30-minute electric boat ride with my child. The river time and nearby park walk stood out, though there is no restroom inside the café.
Cafe Giwa is a hanok café near Chodang Sundubu Village in Gangneung, with a garden, outdoor tables, and its own parking lot. I visited with a friend for Giwa Black Latte, Pink Flower Latte, homemade lemon ginger tea, and gâteau chocolat; the garden-view seating and antique-feeling interior stayed with me.
Baegya Coffee is a large bakery café directly in front of Sageunjin Beach in Gangneung. I had bread, including pizza bread, and coffee with my child while looking out at the sea; the food and clean space were satisfying, though the outdoor area is a no-kids zone and some bread was gone late in the afternoon.
Hwangbuja Twigim is a Korean restaurant inside Sokcho Tourist & Fishery Market in Sokcho, Gangwon. I packed Set No. 11 with two kinds of squid sundae and added king prawn tempura; despite the line, the wait was not long, and the food was still warm after the roughly 30-minute trip to my accommodation.
Yeoyejeong is a charcoal-grilled meat restaurant in Seo-myeon, Yangyang, Gangwon. My husband and I ordered two portions of fresh ribs, two stone-pot rice servings, and doenjang-jjigae; the ribs were crisp outside and moist inside, and the scorched rice rounded out a filling meal. The spacious parking area and reserved family tables made it seem suitable for group meals too.
Eosiljang Sashimi Takeout is a sashimi takeout shop in Sonyang-myeon, Yangyang, about a nine-minute drive from Sol Beach Yangyang. I ordered a two-person assorted sashimi platter, and the individually packed portions made it easy to eat at our accommodation; I also enjoyed the range of textures from the sashimi and seafood.
Ichiba Ramen is a Japanese ramen restaurant near Sokcho Lighthouse Beach in Sokcho, Gangwon. My family ordered two ramen dishes and two mini rice bowls for ₩28,500; I preferred the gently spicy Karai Ramen, while my child enjoyed the Butadon.
Gangneung Sand Main Branch is a café and dessert shop on Seonggogyangil 5beonan-gil in Gangneung. During a family trip, I took home strawberry and coffee sand cookies; the strawberry aroma was strong, while the coffee was pleasantly not too sweet. The spacious white-and-blue café and third-floor excavator experience zone also stood out.
Jin Seiromushi is a Korean restaurant in Sokcho, Gangwon, where I ordered red snow crab and soy-marinated shrimp lunchboxes by phone for a hotel meal. The nine side dishes, rice, soup, japchae, and grilled fish made for a generous spread with mild seasoning, though there was too much for us to finish.
Yes Susan (예스수산) is a seafood takeaway counter on the first floor of Sokcho Tourist & Fishery Market in Sokcho, Gangwon. I took home a ₩25,000 red snow crab lunchbox and two crab-shell fried rice portions; the prepared crab was easy to eat, and the rice was enough to share as a finishing dish for four.
