Songwon Restaurant 송원
Gapyeong · Sangmyeon, Morning Calm & Jat Hyanggi · Meal
A restaurant along the arboretum road that opens early, serving set meals with local ingredients and larger hot pots for groups. Set meals are sold from one portion, while the hot pots are best with two or more people. Because it opens early, it is easy to stop on the way up to the garden, and it also works for a late lunch afterward.
Weekend lunchtime can bring a wait. Prices are moderate, cards are generally accepted, and the staff are used to visitors who have just come from the arboretum and need a hearty meal.
It is on Sumokwon-ro in Sangmyeon with a lot in front, about five minutes by car from Garden of Morning Calm. (Show a driver: 송원)
