Sumokwon-ro Pine Nut Tofu Street 수목원로 잣두부거리
Gapyeong · Sangmyeon, Morning Calm & Jat Hyanggi · Sights
The road leading up to the arboretum is lined with restaurants specializing in pine nut tofu and pine nut soft tofu stew, which are signature dishes of Gapyeong, plus a few cafes. Weekend lunch waits can be long, so consider eating before you go up to the garden, or choose a quieter weekday hour. It is a good place to compare restaurants by eye and pick one with a shorter queue.
Parking spaces are scattered along the road, and traffic can slow to a crawl on busy weekends, so be patient. Prices at the restaurants are moderate and set menus are common.
Follow Sumokwon-ro toward Garden of Morning Calm; parking spots dot the roadside. (Show a driver: 수목원로 잣두부거리)
