Gourmet products local specialties and wines Jeolla 전라도

This traditional market is the largest market on the island. A veritable maze of small streets, it offers a beautiful glimpse of island delicacies, especially the (ultra-fresh) products of the sea. Street-food, clothes, dishes are of course also available. What we like about this market, like every other market in Korea, is that it's covered. This makes it ideal on rainy days or when the sun is shining too much. A 100% typical walk.

For a sweet and tasty break, we'll go to this coffee shop to taste Jeju Island's favourite dessert, omegi-tteok. Soft as a cloud and soft as a feather, this rice cake made from millet flour coated with red bean paste (Koreans are really fond of it, it is found in 70% of desserts) is tasty. We're warning you, it's not very nice but it's good! Pretty gift boxes are also sold to take home or to the hotel as a gourmet souvenir!

On the road to the Seonamsa temple, surrounded by pine trees, is a pretty traditional-style house where tea is king. Indeed, here you can experience it in all its aspects (tasting, cooking, preparation...). What is certainly most interesting during a visit here is certainly the program that presents the darye. In other words, the tea ceremony and all the "good manners" associated with it. Here you forget the Earl Grey bag and discover all the secrets of tea!

Like any good self-respecting port city, Mokpo also has its own market. Opened in 1908 as Dongmyeong-dong Fish Market, this covered market still offers stalls and stores that sell fresh, dried or fermented fish and seafood. The best way to visit it, (if you don't want to buy anything) is still in the early morning, when the merchants set up their stands. After that, the aisles fill up very quickly

Want to taste the thousand flavors of Jeju? Head for this covered market with countless delicacies: tangerines, omegi, crab croquettes, black pork, walnut pancake... You can choose to sit down or swallow your snacks as you stroll through the market's vibrant alleys. If you have just one thing typical of the island to try, it's tangerines. They have an incredibly smooth and sweet flavour and are seedless. In short, a market that's a great place to wander through. As with the rest of the traditional Korean markets, it's a unique experience.
