Jeju-si Restaurants

  1. Bagdad Café

    With a Nepalese chef, this new Indian restaurant-café-bar, named after the film not the city, has music, stylish English-speaking staff and an outside terrace. It has more character and atmosphere than all the city's other restaurants put together. The curries, naan bread and mango lassi taste authentic, and weekends can be busy with a mixed crowd of Koreans and homesick Brits.

  9. Kkwong Memil Guksu

    A tiny five-table eatery near the bus terminal, it has one staff member and two items on the menu: the kkwong-gui (꿩구이) is simple and highly recommended - half a pheasant is grilled at your table. Order rice to go with it as the side dishes are nothing to write home about. The other option is kkwong memil guksu (꿩메밀국수) - pheasant pieces share a soup with homemade noodles wide enough to drive along.
