A
Pyulmori
Pyulmori is a very exciting joint-venture coffee shop near to the Koryo Hotel. Run by a local charity supplying food to local orphanages, Pyulmori was the only place to get good coffee in North Korea at the time of writing. There is also a good selection of cakes and pies, and delightful staff.

Pyongyang Number One Boat Restaurant
Pyongyang Number One Boat Restaurant is moored off Kim Il Sung Sq, and although we've heard stories of it cruising the Taedong for an hour during a meal, it's been stationary whenever we've eaten here. Eating is on a pleasant outdoor deck and it's very popular with tour groups and NGO staff.

Okryu
Okryu is one of the city's best-known restaurants, a huge monstrosity on the riverside that's famed for its cold noodles and very popular with locals. For this reason it's not usually on the schedule for groups, but you may be lucky. It was undergoing refurbishment at the time of research.

Chongryu Restaurant
The Chongryu Restaurant opposite the Romanian Embassy is usually included for groups. It's a pleasant place where you make your own hotpot dish on little individual gas stoves, although it's equally notable for its ropey swiss rolls served as a dessert.

National Restaurant
The National Restaurant is a camp and damp experience due to fake grass on the ceiling and a basement setting respectively. The food here is good, though, and there's a popular live show.

Pyongyang Ostrich Farm
Finally the Pyongyang Ostrich Farm just outside the city has a restaurant serving (you guessed it) ostrich. It's a surreal spot for lunch if your group is on a trip there.

Random Access Club
The Random Access Clubs in the diplomatic quarter of Munsudong are popular, but there's no way tourists can go to these, whatever diplomats may tell you.

Pyongyang Number One Duck Barbeque is one of the best places in town, and will often be where groups go on their last evening.
