Seoul Sikdang (Dolsan Gat Kimchi Set Meal) 서울식당 (돌산 갓김치 정식)
Yeosu · Dolsan Island & Hyangiram · Meal
At the foot of the road to Hyangiram, this restaurant serves a meal built around Dolsan gat kimchi, a pungent mustard-leaf kimchi grown on the island. The set arrives with rice, soup, side dishes and several kinds of kimchi, and the strongest flavor is the gat leaf itself. A bite of rice softens the sharpness.
If you like the taste, nearby shops sell jars, but check airline rules before packing kimchi in luggage. The dining room is simple, and it is a good lunch stop before or after climbing the temple stairs. Expect a mid-range bill that can move with the season.
It is at the foot of Hyangiram, about 45 to 60 minutes by taxi or car from downtown. (Show a driver: 서울식당 향일암)
