Cafés, restaurants and places in Jeju, written by bloggers who went there.
Jayeon in PLANT827 (자연in PLANT827) is a large bakery café in Wolpyeong-dong, Jeju City, on Jeju Island. The writer tried the signature 827 Latte and Plant Latte with an injeolmi cream bun and Danish loaf, then wandered from the floor-to-ceiling garden windows out to the outdoor garden where chickens and rabbits live. A spacious spot for enjoying a garden view and fresh bread at the same time.
Jeju Udae Nohyeong Main Branch is a Korean BBQ restaurant in Nohyeong-dong, Jeju that grills udae galbi (thick-cut beef short rib) and ogyeopsal (pork belly) for you. The writer ordered 2 servings of udae galbi, 1 serving of ogyeopsal, naengmyeon and doenjang jjigae, and the cheongyang chili sauce and the doenjang jjigae stood out most. The straw-fire smoked aroma is something people may feel differently about depending on taste.
Jeju Healing Dwaeji (제주힐링돼지) is a black pork barbecue restaurant in Seogwipo, Jeju, with ocean views and a lawn garden. I ordered a geun (600g) of black pork, which staff par-grilled; its juicy char and meljeot pairing were excellent. Verdict: a relaxing, satisfying spot for black pork by the sea.
Gluttony Coffee is a café in Ara-dong, Jeju, serving decaf filter coffee, cakes, financiers, and cookies. After getting some work done in its calm wood-toned space, I had Oreo cake and packed cookies and financiers to share with my younger sibling. Verdict: a lovely pick for sweet desserts and a quiet place to work.
Golbaengi Pocha is a neighborhood bar in Jeju, Jeju, serving a generous spicy whelk salad near Jeju City Hall and Jeju Court. Two people ordered whelk salad and yogurt sherbet for 40,000 won. Verdict: a memorable stop for plump, spicy whelks with noodles.
Jeju Boncham Sutbul Galbi is a Korean BBQ restaurant in Nohyeong-dong, Jeju, where black pork and ribs are grilled over charcoal. Friends enjoyed thick, golden-grilled meat with wraps and side dishes for a filling dinner. Verdict: a memorable charcoal-grilled dinner near Grand Hyatt Jeju and Dream Tower.
Dixie's is a casual Southern American restaurant near Gwandeokjeong in Jeju, Jeju. On the way to Dongmun Market, we ordered Cajun shrimp rice bowls, Texas chili, coleslaw, Coke Zero, and Stella draft beer. Verdict: Dixie's is a fun choice when you want a different kind of lunch in Jeju.
Suragan Tteokbang is a rice-cake café on Noyeon-ro in Jeju, Jeju, where shoppers can choose omegi-tteok (Jeju mugwort rice cakes) individually or in gift boxes. I ordered several mixed-flavor sets and loved the individual wrapping, bojagi option, and pleasantly not-too-sweet chew. Verdict: Suragan Tteokbang is a lovely choice for travel gifts or thank-you presents.
Dolgyeok Hanwoo is a Hanwoo beef barbecue restaurant in Yeondong, Jeju, about 10 minutes by car from Jeju Airport. I tried 1++ galbisal, limited special cuts, garlic yukhoe, and gat kimchi bibim guksu. Verdict: a satisfying final Jeju meal—just grill one piece at a time over the powerful charcoal.
Don Gueo is a Korean BBQ restaurant in Gujwa, Jeju, near Sehwa Beach. For 21,000 won per person, the Jeju black pork set includes five-layer pork belly, kimchi stew, rice, and plentiful side dishes before 4 p.m. Verdict: Don Gueo is a satisfying, good-value meal after a visit to Bijarim Forest.
Nohyeong Supermarket is an indoor retro and media-art attraction in Jeju City, Jeju. I explored its black-and-white supermarket rooms, then watched art, ocean, dinosaur, and cyber-city shows at Warang Warang with a café drink. A great weather-proof stop near Jeju Airport!
Jejju Donghong Branch is a takeout and dine-in restaurant for sushi, rice bowls, and lunch boxes in Donghong-dong, Seogwipo, Jeju. I packed a Jejju Lunch Box with assorted fried items and egg sushi for a seaside picnic, and the generous selection and kind service stood out. For a filling lunch box, Jejju Donghong Branch is a great choice.
