Plan A Restaurant is an ocean-view Italian restaurant on the fourth floor near Songdo Beach in Pohang, Gyeongbuk. A friend and I shared a burrata salad, shrimp broth spaghetti, mushroom basil cream risotto, and Korean beef ribeye steak; the spaghetti and steak stood out, though we missed out on a window seat without a reservation.
Midam Kitchen is a Western restaurant in Gyeongju’s Hwangnidan-gil with a hanok-inspired setting, garden, private rooms, and window seats. I ordered the spicy creamy Toowoomba pasta with shrimp and beef risotto; the pairing was satisfying without feeling overly rich to me.
Gyeongju Tokyo Pie is a pastry dessert café in Hwangnidan-gil, Gyeongju, Gyeongbuk. I took home the Premium Set and loved the crisp layers and whole-apple texture with an Americano. Verdict: a lovely travel snack or souvenir to enjoy with coffee.
Hands Coffee Gumi Goa-eup Branch is a two-story café on Wondae-ro in Gumi, with parking in front, a floor-seating care kids zone on the first floor, and a lawn outside. I had Brunch Set C with a soft jambon-beurre and chicken granola salad; both were soft and more filling than I expected. The separated floor-seating area and lawn are worth considering when visiting with children.

The sea view was lovely, but our Sunday lunch took over 30 minutes to arrive.
Midam Kitchen is a Western restaurant on Cheomseong-ro 49beon-gil in Gyeongju’s Hwangridan-gil. I shared basil oil pasta and pork loin cutlet with a friend for dinner; the gentle basil aroma, crisp cutlet, and garden-view setting made for a comfortable meal.
Hands Coffee Gumi Goa-eup Branch is a spacious café on Wondae-ro in Goa-eup, Gumi, where I had brunch with my parents and walked around the garden afterward. The rich mushroom soup and soft ciabatta stood out, while the comfortable sofa seating and roomy table spacing made the visit easygoing.

Midam Kitchen is a Western-style restaurant on Hwangridan-gil in Gyeongju, Gyeongbuk. I visited with my child and ordered quattro cheese pizza, Toowoomba pasta, and pork loin tonkatsu; the child chair and family room were useful, while all three dishes were more than we could finish.
