Galdaebat Restaurant (Reed Field) 순천만갈대밭식당
Suncheon · Suncheon Bay Wetland & National Garden · Meal
Right where the wetland path begins, this casual restaurant specializes in jjangttungeo, the local mudskipper fish, and serves it as a soup, a pancake and in other dishes. The soup is hearty and earthy, closer to a country stew than a delicate broth, and it takes some getting used to. If you are cautious, start with the lightly fried or stir-fried plates, which are easier on the nose.
Set meals come with several side dishes, and most visitors come right before or after their walk. Prices are mid-range at a few thousand won per bowl and may change. Lunch lines build on weekends, so aim for off-peak times.
A short walk from the wetland ticket office. See Suncheon Bay Wetland Reserve for buses and taxis. (Show a driver: 순천만갈대밭식당)
