Magoksa Seoul Sikdang 마곡사서울식당
Gongju · Magoksa & Yugu · Meal
A restaurant near the Magoksa entrance serving a mountain-vegetable set with deodeok and a hearty mushroom soup that locals eat to recover after a long hike or a night out. The tables are large and the pace is relaxed, which suits families and older travelers. Prices are mid-range.
On weekends and holidays the dining room fills quickly, so a phone call to reserve is wise; ask your hotel to help if you do not speak Korean. A vegetarian can order mountain-vegetable dishes but should confirm that the broth has no meat. The restaurant is a handy lunch stop before or after the temple walk.
Near the temple entrance; a taxi from Gongju takes 40 minutes. Parking nearby. (Show a driver: 마곡사서울식당)
