Jeombongsan Sanchae Restaurant 점봉산산채
Sokcho · Seoraksan & Nohak-dong · Meal
Mountain vegetable meals are a specialty of the Seorak foothills, and this restaurant serves them in the traditional way: a table full of small dishes of wild greens, seasoned roots, soy-based sauces and grilled fish or meat. The offering shifts with the season, with spring bringing the most variety. It is one of the better choices for vegetarians, as many side dishes are plant-based, but stews and broths may contain fish or meat, so ask clearly.
Portions are generous and the mood is quiet and family-run. Prices and menus may change, and many dishes are designed for two or more people.
By taxi it is about 15 minutes from downtown Sokcho. Drivers can use the Korean name in navigation, and a small parking lot is on site. (Show a driver: 점봉산산채)
