Camp Budae Jjigae 캠프부대찌개
Gapyeong · Jojong, Hyeonri & Myeongjisan · Meal
Budae jjigae, or army-base stew, is a spicy hot pot of sausage, ham, noodles, tofu and kimchi that dates from the lean years after the Korean War, and this restaurant in Hyeonri serves a generous pot. Extra noodles or rice cakes let you adjust the portion, and staff can often reduce the spice if you ask when ordering. It suits groups and families, and children usually enjoy the milder version.
Prices are modest. It opens early, which makes it useful before a mountain hike, and it is just as satisfying as a hot dinner after a long day on the trails.
It is on Unakcheonggye-ro in Jojong-myeon with a lot around the shop, a few minutes by car from Hyeonri 5-Day Market. (Show a driver: 캠프부대찌개)
