Everything We Ate in Jeju: 16 Food Spots to Try

We honestly can’t count how many salt breads we ate in Jeju. Looking back at our camera roll from our winter trip, almost every meal falls into three camps: seafood, salt bread, and a table full of banchan (Korean side dishes). Happy tummy, every single day.

This is the full list of 16 places we ate at, from bakery cafés and seafood stews to market hotteok and tangerine-shaped everything. We grouped them by craving so you can plan around what you feel like eating.

Salt bread and bakery cafés

Salt bread (sogeumppang) was our non-negotiable. It’s a buttery roll with a crisp, salty bottom, and Jeju’s cafés take it seriously.

Haejigae Cafe

A seaside café in Aewol, and our favourite bakery tray of the trip. We loaded up on salt bread sprinkled with coarse salt, a pistachio-crusted chocolate loaf, a cheesy baked savoury bread and a soft cream bun. Come for the bread, stay for the sea view.

Location: 52 Aewolbukseo-gil, Aewol-eup, Jeju-si (Aewol coast). Open daily 9am–9pm.
Price range: Salt bread and pastries ₩5,500–6,500; coffee ₩9,000–10,000. (DiningCode)

Antoinette Cafe & Bistro

A calm stop for a proper café breakfast. We had caramelised garlic-butter toast, an almond croissant, a flaky croissant roll, a Portuguese egg tart and a matcha latte.

Location: Yongdam branch, 671 Seohaean-ro, Jeju-si, near the airport with sea views. There’s also a Seogwipo branch at 37 Chilsimni-ro 214beon-gil. Open daily 8am–7:30pm.
Price range: Drinks ₩5,000–8,500; breads and pastries are priced separately on the counter. (DiningCode)

Orrrn

Where we did coffee and buns: a glossy cream-filled bun, a golden cheese-topped pastry, an iced latte and a matcha latte with latte art. A cosy, easy refuel between sights.

Location: 2714 Haemajihaean-ro, Seongsan-eup, Seogwipo-si, an ocean-view café near Seongsan Ilchulbong. Open daily 10am–8pm.
Price range: Salt bread ₩3,800–4,900; drinks ₩6,000–8,000; brunch plates ₩18,900. (DiningCode)

Seafood feasts

Jeju is an island, and it shows. Most of our proper meals were seafood, usually with a spread of banchan on the side.

Noraba Ramen

The most dramatic bowl of the trip. Instant-style ramyeon comes piled with a whole octopus, abalone, scallops in the shell, prawns, crab and clams. It’s messy, it’s fun, and it’s a good deal for how much seafood you get.

Location: 570-1 Aewolhaean-ro, Aewol-eup, Jeju-si, on the Aewol coastal road. It closes in the late afternoon, so go for lunch.
Price range: Seafood ramyeon ₩11,000; octopus ramyeon ₩15,900; old-school lunchbox ₩6,500. (DiningCode)

Bada Janchi

A seaside spot on Tapdong-ro in Jeju City. We had a whole grilled fish with crisp skin, fluffy steamed egg, a row of banchan and tangerine slices to finish.

Location: 79 Tapdong-ro, Jeju-si, facing the sea near Tapdong. Open daily 9am–9pm.
Price range: Grilled mackerel about ₩15,000; mackerel stew for two ₩30,000; cutlassfish stew ₩42,000; abalone sashimi ₩60,000. (DiningCode, Tripadvisor)

Chunsim

Famous for one thing: whole grilled cutlassfish (galchi, or hairtail). The fish arrives at full length and takes up most of the table. The main branch is in Andeok, Seogwipo.

Location: Main branch, 16 Changcheonjungang-ro 24beon-gil, Andeok-myeon, Seogwipo-si.
Price range: Whole grilled cutlassfish ₩89,000–158,000 (2–4 people); grilled mackerel ₩20,000; abalone cutlassfish stew ₩28,000. This is the priciest meal on the list. (DiningCode)

Negeori Restaurant

Our pick for galchi jorim, a spicy braised cutlassfish stew, in Seogwipo. We paired it with grilled fish, seaweed soup and rice. Rich, spicy and perfect for a cold December day.

Location: 20 Seomun-ro 29beon-gil, Seogwipo-si, on Arangjoeul Food Street near Cheonjiyeon Falls. Open daily 7am–9:40pm. (VisitKorea)
Price range: Cutlassfish soup and rockfish soups ₩16,000; galchi jorim ₩55,000 (2 people) to ₩65,000 (3 people); large grilled cutlassfish ₩80,000. (DiningCode)

Street food and market snacks

Some of our favourite bites cost under 2,000 won and came in a paper cup.

Dongmun Market (hotteok)

Hotteok is a pan-fried pancake with a molten brown-sugar filling, and we still miss it. Dongmun is Jeju City’s big traditional market, and a hot hotteok in a paper cup is the perfect thing to carry while you browse. Mind the hot sugar on the first bite.

Location: Dongmun Traditional Market, 20 Gwandeok-ro 14-gil, Jeju-si, near Jeju Airport. The day market runs 8am–9pm, and the night market runs 6pm–midnight through Gate 8. (Daum travel guide)
Price range: Hotteok starts from about ₩1,000–1,500 each; night-market dishes are around ₩7,000–13,000. (Threads)

Yeongjin Hotteok

The stall from our hotteok video. The uncle shapes each pancake by hand and presses it on the griddle, while the auntie fills the flower-shaped gukhwappang moulds beside him. The board read 1,500 won per hotteok, 3 pulppang for 2,000 won, and 1,000 won per fishcake skewer.

Location: We couldn’t find this stall listed online. Look for the blue Yeongjin Hotteok (영진호떡) sign.
Price range: From the stall board: hotteok ₩1,500 each, 3 pulppang for ₩2,000, fishcake ₩1,000 a skewer.

Dongmun Market (tangerine dessert)

We also picked up a tray of halved tangerines set with jelly from OMG Dessert. Refreshing, pretty and very Jeju.

Location: A dessert stall inside Dongmun Market (same address as above).
Price range: We couldn’t find current prices online.

Seongsan Ilchulbong street odeng

After the sunrise-peak area, a cup of hot fishcake (odeng) skewers in broth is exactly what cold hands need. Grab one from the stalls along the main strip.

Location: Snack stalls and shops near the Seongsan Ilchulbong entrance, Seongsan-eup, Seogwipo-si.
Price range: We couldn’t find listed prices for these stalls. Bring small cash; for reference, the Yeongjin board listed odeng at ₩1,000 a skewer.

Tangerine and green tea sweets

Jeju’s two signature flavours are gamgyul (tangerine) and green tea, and we tried to have both at every café.

Hugely Jeju

The cutest dessert of the trip: tangerine gelato shaped like a whole tangerine, leaf and all, served in a cone. We also had a tangerine mousse that comes wrapped in the same foam netting real Jeju tangerines are sold in.

Location: 83 Heungun-gil, Jeju-si, close to the airport, with ocean views from the second floor. Open daily 10am–8:30pm.
Price range: Tangerine (hallabong) gelato ₩12,000; sherbet ₩10,000; hallabong juice ₩6,500. (DiningCode)

Osulloc Cafe

A must for green tea lovers. We shared a matcha roll cake, green tea lattes dusted with tea powder, an iced matcha and a matcha soft serve.

Location: Osulloc Tea Museum, 15 Sinhwayeoksa-ro, Andeok-myeon, Seogwipo-si, beside the tea fields. Free entry; open daily 9am–7pm.
Price range: Matcha soft serve ₩5,800; signature matcha latte ₩7,500; green tea roll cake ₩7,000–7,500. (DiningCode)

Innisfree Cafe

Right by the Osulloc tea fields and great for a light lunch. Our set came in a basket: three rice balls (green tea, herb and seaweed), a veggie jeon with prawn, clear soup, cheese and cherry tomatoes.

Location: Innisfree Jeju House, 23 Sinhwayeoksa-ro, Andeok-myeon, Seogwipo-si, next door to Osulloc.
Price range: Brunch and picnic sets ₩20,000–23,000; sandwiches ₩13,000; drinks ₩5,800–8,000. (Polle, blog review)

Cafe Gyulkkot Darak (귤꽃다락)

A caramelised waffle topped with vanilla ice cream, blueberries, rosemary and a dried tangerine slice. Sticky, crunchy and so good with coffee.

Location: 34 Ieodo-ro 1027beon-gil, Seoho-dong, Seogwipo-si, set in a former tangerine orchard. Open daily 10am–6:40pm.
Price range: Croffle ₩13,000; tangerine mousse cake ₩8,000; tangerine latte or ade ₩7,500; Americano ₩6,000. (DiningCode)

Comfort bites

For the days when we wanted something familiar after a long day out.

Willala

Fish and chips, Jeju style. Crispy battered fish, fried prawns and fries on red-checked paper, in a bright, cheerful room. A nice break from Korean food mid-trip.

Location: 33 Seongsanjungang-ro, Seongsan-eup, Seogwipo-si, near Seongsan Ilchulbong. Open 10am–3:30pm only, so plan it as lunch.
Price range: Fish and chips ₩17,000–18,000 per person; combos for two ₩29,000–30,000. (DiningCode)

BHC Chicken

You can’t do Korea without Korean fried chicken. BHC’s chicken came coated in a savoury seasoning powder that’s seriously addictive. Order more than you think you need.

Location: A nationwide chain with several branches around Jeju. Use Naver Map or Kakao Map to find the nearest one.
Price range: Whole chickens ₩21,000–26,000; the signature Bburinkle is about ₩23,000. (Pocket O, 2025 menu)

Our tips

Group your meals by area. Haejigae and Noraba are on the Aewol coast in the west. Antoinette, Hugely, Bada Janchi and Dongmun Market are in Jeju City near the airport. Orrrn, Willala and the odeng stalls are around Seongsan in the east. Chunsim, Osulloc, Innisfree, Negeori and Gyulkkot Darak are down south in Seogwipo.
Bring cash for markets. Street snacks are 1,000 to 2,000 won each, and small change makes it easy.
Winter is perfect for eating. Hot hotteok, odeng broth and spicy fish stew hit differently when it’s cold outside.
Pace the salt bread. Every bakery has one, and you will want to try them all.

Happy tummy, happy trip

If we had to pick just three, it would be the salt bread at Haejigae, the giant seafood ramyeon at Noraba and a hot hotteok at the market. Jeju fed us really well, and we’re already planning what to eat next time.
