Suwon Restaurants

There are numerous restaurants and cafes all over the city, so it's impossible to remember them. They are everywhere.

Nôtional Korean restaurants serve on low tables where you have to sit on the floor. Not really a conenient way for Europeans, especially for tall ones :). There are some "localized" restaurants with the holes under the tables. The tables look like low, but there's a lot of space for your legs.

A lot of various side dishes and appetizers are normally free, you only pay for the main course, and the waiter adds the side dishes as soon as they end. It was my first time in Korea when I tried a jellyfish, and I absolutely liked it! So don't be afraid of local food, but it's better to have someone who can adivce you on your choice and explain what you choose. And kalbi is definitely a must.

Favorite Dish: Kalbi is a local meat specialty for Suwon. And that's something really worth tasting. It's a kind of BBQed meat prepared right in the center of your table.

Each of the restaurants we passed by inside that market below the tracks looked like they can whip up a great meal. You get to choose from the live seafood they have for sale what you like and how you'd want them prepared.

Favorite Dish: Especializing on the freshest seafood of all kinds. You tell them how'd you like your food prepared :) If fish, I'd like to eat the meat raw with the head and the rest of it in a pot of steaming hot soup.....yummy!!

Octopus and chicken spicy stir-fry.

Actually pretty nice.
