Cafés, restaurants and places in Jeju, written by bloggers who went there.
Jeju Samchun is a black pork restaurant near Hamdeok Beach in Jeju, Jeju. After taking in the night sea, I ordered the 500g Joka Set for 50,000 won and enjoyed thick, juicy smoked black pork grilled by the staff, plus a generous complimentary kimchi jjigae for writing a Naver review. Verdict: a place I would happily revisit for a vacation-feeling black pork dinner in Hamdeok.
Cheongchuni Oranda is a dessert café in Dongmun Market, Jeju, where shoppers can choose oranda and yuja gwajul. After tasting nut, yuja, and manong oranda, the writer chose a bulk nut pack and yuja gwajul, loving their soft, chewy texture even after room-temperature storage. Verdict: a satisfying Jeju souvenir to share with parents.
Cheongchuni Oranda Dongmun Market Main Branch Tapdong is a souvenir shop in Jeju's Dongmun Market selling handmade oranda (Korean sweet crackers) and gwajul made by young Jeju locals. The owner first asks whether you want a gift set or the cheaper bulk pack for eating yourself, and after tasting, the writer picked gamtae (sea mustard) and yuzu oranda in bulk packs. The texture is soft rather than hard, and with Onnuri gift voucher Zero Pay payment accepted, it's worth adding to a Dongmun Market gift shopping route.
Jeju Samchun Hamdeok is a black pork barbecue restaurant in Jocheon-eup, Jeju, near Hamdeok Beach. Staff grill the 300-hour aged black pork smoked with grapevine chips right at the table, and the wraps with fresh kimchi salad and grilled kimchi, plus a kimchi jjigae loaded with meat, were standouts. It made for a hearty family meal after a day at Hamdeok Beach.
Dixie's is a Southern American-style restaurant near Dongmun Market in Jeju, Jeju. We ordered Cajun shrimp, grilled chicken salad, and a Nashville hot chicken burger for smoky flavors and crisp chicken. Verdict: Dixie's is a great pick when you want a different kind of satisfying meal in Jeju.
Jeju Samchun (제주삼춘) Hamdeok Beach Black Pork is a black pork restaurant in Hamdeok Beach, Jeju. Our family of three had the 60,000-won Joka Set, enjoyed tableside grilling and child-friendly amenities, and ordered extra pork neck because our daughter loved it. Verdict: Jeju Samchun was a clean, comfortable choice for a family dinner.
Jeju Boncham Sutbul Galbi is a charcoal-grilled rib restaurant in Nohyeong-dong, Jeju. We had three portions of fresh ribs, doenjang-jjigae, marinated pork ribs, and mul-naengmyeon with a six-year-old while staff grilled everything for us. The sweet, smoky marinated ribs were the clear highlight.
Jejju Seogwipo New Town Branch is a restaurant in Seogwipo, Jeju, serving rice bowls, sushi, and udon for dine-in or takeaway. My husband, child, and I shared two rice-bowl sets and half-and-half salmon sushi. Verdict: a filling but easygoing breakfast stop for a Jeju trip.
Robain Coffee Jeju Jocheon Sinchon Branch is an ocean-view café in Jocheon-eup, Jeju. I enjoyed coffee and a range of teas while relaxing in its individually partitioned seating. A lovely stop for a quiet break while exploring eastern Jeju.
Sikgwa Hamkke Jeju Sanbangsan Branch is a Korean restaurant in Seogwipo, Jeju, near Sanbangsan and Jeju Shinhwa World. A reserved 2-person boneless braised cutlassfish meal costs 45,000 won and comes with plentiful sides, fried cutlassfish, and abalone-and-conch roe rice. Verdict: the spicy, savory sauce and boneless fish made this an especially satisfying breakfast.
Tamra Hansang is a Korean restaurant near Olle Market in Seogwipo, Jeju. On the third night of our trip, we ordered the 80,000-won three-person dombe pork set with assorted sashimi, fried cutlassfish, black pork, and stone-pot rice. A filling and varied dinner after exploring the market.
Kkotdam Sushi is a Japanese restaurant in Jeongsil, Jeju, serving sushi and sashimi. The assorted sushi and mini sashimi came with thick-cut fish, plus shrimp tempura and udon in the sushi set. Kkotdam Sushi was so good I came back, haha.
