Why visit here
The island's volcanic soil and mild climate produce ingredients not grown on the mainland — green mandarins, Hallabong oranges, and local garlic. Many restaurants offer a Jeju set menu for first-time visitors.
Highlights
- Heukdwaeji Street (Jeju City) — A row of grilled black-pork restaurants near the old city. Dinner is the busiest service.
- Dongmun Market — A covered traditional market with fresh sashimi and tangerine-flavored street food.
- Gosori Haemul-tang (Seogwipo) — Spicy seafood soup featuring Jeju-caught abalone.
- Roadside Mandarin Stands — Hallasan-slope growers sell tangerines direct between November and February.
Tip: Hallabong oranges are sweetest between January and March. Market prices are about half of what airport shops charge.
