Lunch (Gungjeon Hoegwan)
점심식사(궁전회관)
The exceptional taste and variety of dishes at Gungjeon Hoegwan, the largest hanjeongsik (Korean full-course meal) restaurant in Gokseong, are largely owed to its water quality and geographic setting. Ordering the 16,000 won per-person hanjeongsik brings more than 15 dishes to the table, representing the land, sea, river, and mountains. Sliced raw skate, abalone, sea cucumber, yellow corvina, and steamed ray come from the sea; steamed egg and boiled pork slices from the land; seasoned deodeok and chwinamul from the mountains; and fried sweetfish from the river. Each side dish conveys the authentic taste of the Namdo region. Please note that hanjeongsik must be ordered for a minimum of three people.MoreLess
