Food recommendations in Korea (Seoul & Jeonju) 🇰🇷
Save this post for your next trip to Korea! Jeonju is a 1h30mins KTX train ride from Seoul. It’s less crowded than Seoul, has a rich history, has the biggest Hanok village in Korea and is the filming site for Twenty-Five Twenty-One and Love in the Moonlight 🫶🏼

Jeonju Hanok Village is not only a stunning historical site but also a food lover's paradise. Beyond the popular dishes, I found small eateries serving specialties like Jeonju bibimbap, a colorful rice dish mixed with fresh vegetables and a spicy sauce that perfectly represents traditional Korean flavors. One highlight was visiting Veteran Kalguksu, renowned for its hand-cut noodle soup that warms you up after a day of walking through the village. For a unique experience, Gyodong Tea Garden offers a tranquil setting where you can sip traditional Korean teas brewed with centuries-old methods. Don’t overlook street vendors selling hotteok (sweet pancakes) and Jeonju-style gimbap, which is smaller and has different fillings compared to regular gimbap. Sampling these street foods allowed me to immerse myself in the local culture deeply and gave me lasting memories of the area. For anyone planning a visit, these culinary spots combine history, culture, and delicious flavors making Jeonju a must-visit for those wanting authentic Korean food experiences beyond Seoul.
