Top Eats in Jeju Island

Many of the foods on Jeju are unique to the island. As a result, there are numerous restaurants worth visiting, including those featured on television shows and popular on social media platforms. Among the numerous restaurants in Jeju, we have chosen and introduced the best restaurants that are particularly popular with tourists.

It is a restaurant that serves meat noodles on a single menu. It is so popular that there is always a long wait time when you visit. Meat noodles with light pork bone broth and soft pork are popular among travelers due to their generous serving size and taste. Many visitors return due to the owner's generous hospitality, as evidenced by the amount of meat in the bowl. Keep in mind that if two people come, they may have to join the other's table.

A restaurant specializing in Jeju's local cuisine, including Bracken Yukgaejang (spicy beef soup) and Momguk. It is uncommon in the inland areas, and because it is located in downtown Jeju, many visitors come for the convenience of getting to and from the airport. Bracken Yukgaejang, which is slowly boiled to extract bracken, is particularly popular here. It has a thick texture and is easy to digest, making it ideal for children to eat. The aroma of bracken is so strong that it is more delicious if you eat it with salted squid or Kimchi, which are served as side dishes.

It is a crowded restaurant that specializes in abalone, whether during the peak or off-season. It is popular among locals and tourists due to its balanced taste and smell of abalone and chewy texture. Jeonbok Dolsotbap (abalone stone pot rice) is the signature dish, but abalone roast and sashimi are also popular. If you're visiting with your child, we recommend savory abalone porridge.

It is a specialized cutlassfish restaurant, with the main menu featuring Jeju's whole cutlassfish roast or stew. The whole grilled cuttlefish here is large enough to be served on two plates. The big advantage is that the staff bones the fish, so there's no need to do it yourself. Let's try it with onion pickles because the sweet and sour combination of light cutlassfish and pickled onions works well together.

It is so popular that you cannot eat without making a reservation. It offers six different Gimbap menus, including Oneunjeong Gimbap, Tuna Gimbap, and Anchovy Gimbap. The rice contains fried tofu, which provides a crispy texture. In principle, Gimbap should be served just in time for the reservation, which will be automatically canceled after 30 minutes.

Jeonbok Mulhoe (abalone raw fish soup) restaurant highly praised by Chef Oh Se-deuk. To maintain freshness, the ingredients are replaced with seasonal seafood. There are two menus: Sunokine Mulhoe and Jeonbok Mulhoe. Sunokine Mulhoe includes two abalones, sea cucumbers, and conch, whereas Jeonbok Mulhoe has three abalones and sea cucumbers. Don't pass up a bowl of Mulhoe filled with fresh seafood to enjoy.

It is a popular noodle restaurant known for its delicious meat noodles and Dombe-gogi (boiled pork served on a cutting board). Hot meat noodles with thick-boiled pork on top are delicious. If you are not completely satisfied with the meat in the noodles, order Dombe-gogi. It's delicious, with a good balance of soft, lean meat and chewy fat. It is also suitable for eating with Bibim noodles, depending on your preferences. It's also ideal for spicy noodles with a sweet and sour flavor.

It is a restaurant that serves a variety of fish dishes, including cutlassfish, tilefish, and mackerel. They offer cutlassfish soup, grilled fish, and boiled fish. Cutlassfish soup is particularly popular due to its deliciousness. Cutlassfish soup is a good breakfast option because it is not irritating and is a clear soup. Many tourists order Seonggae Miyeokguk (sea urchin seaweed soup) and Okdom Miyeokguk (tilefish seaweed soup), both of which are traditional Jeju dishes.

It is a restaurant that specializes in authentic Japanese udon, and its signature dish is self-made cold udon. The chewy noodles are well-filled with sweet, salty, and salty broth, and the large fried shrimp toppings are satisfying just looking at them.

You can enjoy high-quality Jeju black pork here. The black pork Geungogi here is incredibly thick. It is especially popular because it is juicy and has a delectable texture. It is said that the practice of dipping and eating Jeju black pork in Meljeot (salted anchovies) originated here. Waiting is expected because it is a popular restaurant.

It is a noodle restaurant known for its chewy black pork slices and thick meat broth. It is so popular that there is always a waitlist. The secret is a combination of unique ingredients and exceptional flavor. The chewy texture of gardenia noodles and the rich flavor of pork bone broth, as well as ingredients like Jeju's first-rate pork and high-end sprout salt, captivated visitors.

You can indulge in a homemade burger made with Jeju specialty ingredients and a homemade beer. The main menu includes a special sauce made of Gujwa garlic or Udo peanuts, as well as a handmade burger made with Jeju shrimp. The burger's patty tastes better because it is made from 100% Jeju black pork. A side dish of French fries, the size of one and a half servings, is sufficient for two. Let's also try 'Magpie,' a handmade beer made by Jeju Brewery.
