Woryeongdang 월영당
Andong · Woryeonggyo Bridge & Andong Lake · Cafe
Right where the bridge touches its north end, this cafe was made to be visited with a walk over the water. Desserts lean on Korean ingredients: mugwort, black sesame, roasted soybean powder and chestnut turn up in madeleines, financiers and shakes, and a hemp-seed latte is a nod to local produce. It stays open until about 10 p.m., so you can have a hot drink while the bridge lights come up.
Takeaway boxes make popular gifts. Seating fills quickly on weekends. Staff are used to visitors, and the menu is easy to point at.
Prices are those of a stylish cafe, and cards are accepted.
It stands at the north end of Woryeonggyo on the road to the museum, about 10 minutes by taxi from the old town. (Show a driver: 월영당)
