Food
Donam Ogeori Sikdang
A traditional meat specialty restaurant with over 20 years of history, specializing in assorted premium beef grills—a rare delicacy in Jeju. Guests can enjoy a variety of grilled dishes, including beef and pork ribs, beef tartare, and ssam-bap (rice wraps) at affordable prices.

NatureGaram
Located in front of the KBS Jeju Broadcasting Station, Garam is best known for its signature set meal of dogfish soup (chueotang) and stone pot rice. The dish comes with healthy side dishes such as cabbage salad, pickles, and sweet pumpkin. You can enjoy the stone pot rice by mixing it into bibimbap or scraping up the crispy scorched rice at the bottom (nurungji). The chueotang is a savory, nourishing broth made with perilla seed powder, known for its clean taste, making it a favorite spot among broadcasting station staff. In summer, try their green tea doksaegi kongguksu (cold soybean noodle soup). Nearby attractions include Mineo Oreum and the Jeju Folklore & Natural History Museum.
NatureGasaegi Oreum
Located northwest of Yeonmi Village in Ora-dong, Gasaegi Oreum is a small, conical volcanic cone without a crater. Its north-south ridge is blanketed in a lush forest of dense black pine trees. According to local Feng Shui lore, the nearby Min Oreum represents a mother dog, while Gasaegi Oreum, situated just below, represents her puppy—giving rise to its local nickname. Because the landscape resembles a mother dog and her pup nestled together, the northwestern slopes have long been considered an auspicious site, symbolizing the nurturing breast of a mother dog.
FoodGolmok Sikdang
Tucked away in the Dongmun Alley Market near the end of Jungang-ro in Dongmun Traditional Market, Golmok Sikdang is a hidden gem renowned for its buckwheat kalguksu (hand-cut noodles) made with local Jeju pheasant meat. Unlike typical noodle houses, this restaurant offers a unique and profound flavor profile, featuring hand-kneaded buckwheat noodles served in a rich, deep broth simmered from pheasant meat and bones. With a legacy spanning over 50 years in the same location, this traditional eatery specializes in flavors that honor nature. While buckwheat noodles can be more delicate and fragile than wheat varieties, the texture and nutty aroma bloom beautifully as they soak up the savory broth, creating a subtle yet addictive experience. It is a beloved destination for those who prefer natural, deep flavors over heavy seasoning.
NatureGyullim Seowon
Gyullim Seowon is a Confucian educational institution that served as a place to honor the spirits of the "Five Sages"—scholars who were either exiled to or served in Jeju during the Joseon Dynasty—and to nurture future generations of scholars.
