Near Gwangju train station, it has a bright and clean food court in the basement.

Minsokchon
A popular barnlike but attractive and cheery restaurant that echoes to beef (소갈비; so galbi ) and pork (돼지갈비; dwaeji galbi ) sizzling on table barbecues. The galbitang (갈비탕) is excellent with chunky lean meat and 'wellbeing' additions. If this restaurant has a long queue outside, try its branch in Gwangsan·gil.

Moojinjoo
With an architecturally adventurous design this classy restaurant is often packed out on all floors, although its speciality, bossam (보쌈; steamed fatty pork with kimchi, cabbage and lettuce wraps), may not appeal to everyone. The lunchtime-only bossam jeongsik is a cheaper deal.

Shinsegae Department Store
Next to the bus terminals, this classy store has 10 small, reasonably priced restaurants and a café on the 8th floor, and the food plaza in the basement sells takeaway barbecue chicken, big mandu (dumplings) and hotteok (sweet pita-bread snack).

Songjukheon
An atmospheric hanok where hanbok -clad staff serves a full-on yangban in your own antique-decorated room with gayageum (12-stringed zither) music in the background. The restaurant is expensive but special.
-
Yeongmi
One of the many duck restaurants in Duck Street alongside Hyundai department store, it has starred on TV. The speciality is oritang (오리탕), which is meant for sharing and bubbles and thickens away at your table together with a pile of vegetables. Ignore the tatty décor; it's the taste of the food that counts.

Yero
Down an alley off Art Street is this very informal ssambap restaurant made up of three rooms in the owner's house. It's all very rustic and untidy but people come for the food - lots of wraps and side dishes - and Yero is as near to Korean home cooking as you can get.
