Jangkkobang: Red bean porridge made with 100% domestic ingredients
Jangkkobang is a famous red bean porridge café near Gangnam Station. The first thing that comes into sight as you enter the café is a large traditional caldron for cooking red beans. At Jangkkobang, every morning begins by simmering red beans in this caldron.

This little bake shop is just a few blocks (maybe three) from the most popular area of downtown Daegu. Le Pouldu (that’s what it’s called) is still surrounded by stores, restaurants, and coffee shops, just not on the main street.

The Boxquare, just across from Sinchon Station, is a restaurant complex housed inside of three stacked shipping containers. It opened in last year and has become a hot spot for young people looking for inexpensive and delicious food.

Myeongdong Kyoja has become a landmark of Myeong-dong with its specialties of kalguksu (noodle soup) and mandu (dumplings) for the past 50 years.

Two American chain restaurants — On the Border and Shake Shack — have finally made their debut in Busan.

Namcheon Kalguksu, which has been serving up delicious meals since its launch, is about 100 meters from Geumnyensan Subway Station gate 5. It used to be at a different location, but now it is settled in its own small building with space for parking.
