The best restaurants Jeju Ville 제주시

Just at the entrance of the restaurant are posted the Dolhareubang statues. They welcome visitors who will enter this place where plants reign. The "Smart Farm" sign on the front immediately puts the chip in our ear before it makes our mouth water. In an elegant and wooded decoration, you can enjoy grilled fish, pork or spicy octopus. But above all, we can admire the production of salads and herbs used to prepare meals. The terrace with a view of the sea completes the charm of this place.

In this place, it is the charm of authenticity that operates. Protected by tall trees that escort us, a small path leads us to this wooden and stone building. Outside as well as inside, there is a slight witch's house aspect at the bottom of the woods that is quite cute. The decoration combines craftsmanship, calligraphy and local pottery. In addition to the atypical decor, we meticulously prepare vegetarian dishes inspired by the cuisine of Buddhist monks. It's authentic, good and cheap... We go without hesitation.

Right in front of the Chinese junk replica. The restaurant is on the second floor, just above a small fish market. You choose your fish at the market, where it is prepared in front of you and brought to the restaurant. It's certainly not the only fish restaurant on the coast, but we liked the "I'm going shopping" aspect. Tasting tip: mix wasabi with soy sauce and gently dip your fish in it. A trio of flavours that works perfectly and will seduce you.

The seafood product featured here is a marine mollusc, the abalone. It can be eaten raw, grilled, as porridge... There is something for every taste and every desire. However, the house's speciality remains the abalone served with rice in its small covered pot. On the table, we will bring you jujubes, pumpkin, garlic, kimchi and many other products that you can mix with your rice to obtain the dish that will satisfy you the most and that will make your experience 100% unique and original.

The speciality of this house, with its obvious blue colour, is a fish soup with seafood. The aquariums that can be seen at the entrance and the octopus still alive that is brought to us are guarantees of an undeniable freshness. The most sensitive souls could be put off by this octopus trying to get out of its cooking dish. But you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs and the delicious iodized taste of this spicy soup will quickly make you forget everything. A bit expensive, but the quality is worth the price.

In the country where barbecues are king, here we serve the prince of pigs, the famous black pig of Jeju. It roasts under the eyes, smells like a nose and melts on the tongue. Highly recommended, it is necessary to test the pork and kimchi combo which remains unbeatable and timeless in the eyes of the Koreans. Nevertheless, simply served with coarse salt, the meat remains delicious. The crowded canteen atmosphere makes us feel at home. On the first floor is a café with the same name as the restaurant, which will be perfect to close this delicious pork meal.

If you miss Breton flavours too much, you will find this little piece of France in Jeju. This creperie is run by a Frenchman who prepares authentic pancakes and cakes (salted or sweet) with buckwheat, but also croque-monsieur and fresh fruit juices. With its rooftop, its nice music and its chalk map of France with major monuments, this corner is very nice and will make you smile. And guess what. Here, no problem to communicate. We're taking a jump there just to support a fellow countryman.
