Top 7 Best Restaurants in Jeongseon
Today, I will recommend some great restaurants in Jeongseon, Gangwon-do. The top restaurants in Jeongseon are the places frequently visited by people after searching on navigation apps.
1. Memilchon Makguksu
I tried the buckwheat noodles because I heard they were famous, and the dried pollack was so tender and went incredibly well with the noodles! The potato pancake was delicious, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The owner was also friendly, and I really enjoyed the meal! A place in Jeongseon where you can eat both buckwheat noodles and a gondre set meal. There is a wide variety of side dishes, and the unnamed greens are tasty. The gondre rice, full of sesame oil aroma, was delicious (though it was a bit too oily). For some reason, the potato pancake was sweet, and the dried pollack sashimi buckwheat noodles were moderately tasty. It is a good restaurant for a diverse and affordable meal. We ordered a small portion of bossam and one buckwheat noodle dish for two; the noodles had dried pollack sashimi in them and were spicy, refreshing, and delicious. The bossam also had thick meat and was tasty without any gamey smell. If you are looking for a place to eat near High1 Resort, I think this is a decent option.

2. Najeon Station Cafe
They've converted the train station into a cafe. The exterior and surroundings are so pretty, and the interior has been remodeled to perfectly preserve the atmosphere of a waiting room. The coffee is delicious, and the interior is filled with charming decorations and even the coffee cups, giving it a travel vibe. I happened to visit on a rainy day. It's a cafe that really captures the feel of the station. They say trains actually run here too! I was curious about the Gondre Latte, and it was unique and tasty. The potato bread wasn't greasy and had a light, savory flavor. The Dacquoise was also delicious, so my child loved it. My child had chocolate, and I had lemon. They also display and sell local products, so I bought a bracelet made of Ungi-seok. It was a heartwarming and exciting experience at Najeon Station for my solo trip. I thoroughly enjoyed an Americano and a Gondre Mont Blanc Galette, and even wrote a postcard to hang up. I sat in the gazebo across from the station and enjoyed some quiet solitude. I felt like I would really regret it if I left without trying the Najeon Station Cream Coffee, so I went back in to order another cup and took a few more photos. Today is a precious day that will be remembered for a long time.

3. Bomun Restaurant
A famous restaurant for beef head soup! It is also famous as a favorite spot of Mr. Heo Young-man. I went there specifically to visit, but there was quite a long line. The meat and the broth were really, really good! The chewiness of the meat was truly the best. I recommend it. I went with sky-high expectations because I heard it was featured on Baekban Gihang, but as soon as I entered, there was a strong gamey smell of pork. Also, the tables were dirty because they hadn't been wiped down. I ate the dried cabbage soup and pork soup; the dried cabbage soup was delicious, but the pork soup smelled gamey and didn't taste very good. The side dishes were all tasty, but the main soup just didn't taste good. Maybe because I had the highest expectations for it, I don't think I would revisit even if I travel. It was disappointing. It was so delicious that I refilled the side dishes four times. I came for a simple breakfast, but I even finished every last drop of the broth. The side dishes were so flavorful and delicious. I'll definitely come again next time. You were kind and I had a really pleasant dining experience.

4. Smooth sailing
This is a restaurant I visit every time I go to High1. You can eat a very hearty meal here, and it's great value for money, so I often go with my club members. The owner is so friendly, and since the food is delicious, it's a restaurant where you can enjoy your meal in a good mood, so I highly recommend it. We had pork bulgogi, yukhoe, and yukjeon. The pork bulgogi was grilled deliciously with a smoky flavor, making it great for wrapping in lettuce. It was nice that there were both lettuce and cabbage wraps available, so we could eat according to our preference. The yukhoe had a sweet seasoning that was well coated on the high-quality meat. Perhaps because the meat quality was good, the yukjeon was also tender and easy to eat, even though it was large.

5. Mom's Table
The side dishes for the set meals are delicious, so it's great for filling up after skiing. I ate it in the morning and it was filling. The ladies are friendly, but they can be a bit wild, so don't be surprised; just focus on your meal and you'll feel less uncomfortable. Please enjoy your meal. I had the Grilled Mackerel Set Meal and the Grilled Deodeok Set Meal. It's good for a clean meal. I had the Osam Bulgogi and the sauce was tasty. However, the portion is small compared to the price. There is no separate parking lot.

6. Chanine Gamjatang
I visited this place for dinner after a trip because of the good reviews. The gamjatang was indeed decent. However, I had very high expectations for the fried rice, but it contained too much kimchi, so it wasn't the gamjatang fried rice I was hoping for, which was quite disappointing. The medium-sized gamjatang had 6 pieces of meat. For side dishes, there is a self-service station available so you can get more after the initial set. They gave us more broth than I expected; if we had all been adults, we would have eaten a lot, but since we had children with us, we left quite a bit of broth behind. The owner was very friendly, and the food tasted decent and edible. Many 24-hour restaurants are dirty, but this place was clean and well-maintained for a place open 24 hours.

7. Guneon Trout Sashimi Restaurant
The sashimi is so fresh, which is great. However, I think if there were some leafy greens for wrapping, I could keep eating without getting tired of the taste. This is a trout sashimi restaurant I always visit whenever I go to Park Roche. The photo is of the 2-person set. It is the perfect amount for two people. The female owner is kind, and she includes complimentary rice cakes every time I get takeout. It's a place I trust and go to whenever I crave trout in Jeongseon. (This was my second visit; I got takeout to eat at home. It's fresh and delicious, and they give you plenty of vegetables.)
