1. Daewonga (대원가)

If you're in Jeju, the one thing that you absolutely need to eat is their speciality, seafood! And Daewonga serves mouth-watering seafood stews which you can share with your whole travel gang. One thing you shouldn't miss at Daewonga is their haemul cheongbol or seafood steamboat (KRW60,000) which has abalone, mussels, crab and squid all in one pot with kimchi broth.

#HHWT Tip: Once the soup is mixed with all the seafood, add a packet of ramen in to soak up its flavour.

Haemul cheongbol

The soup isn't too spicy and once the taste of all the seafood sinks into the mixture, the broth is so yummy. Although the price of the seafood steamboat is quite steep, each pot serves around 3-4 people, so you can definitely split the cost! If you'd like something more affordable, get their small abalone hotpot and other seafood soups which are priced at KRW13,000. They also serve Grilled Mackerel Fish which costs around KRW15,000.

2. Jeju Onuii (오누이회국수전복돌솥밥)

Jeju Onuii is known for its Abalone Hotpot Rice. Abalone is cooked in a different way here - it's sliced and then cooked in a hot stone pot with pumpkin and gingko. The best way to eat it is to mix all the ingredients together so you can taste everything in a single bite.

Seafood spread

Each set of the abalone hotpot rice costs KRW15,000 and comes with mackerel and side dishes. Pretty affordable if you ask us! Once you're done with the dish, what the Koreans like to do is to add hot water to the leftover rice and drink it as soup.

While Jeju Onuii is not on the official list of Muslim-friendly restaurants in Jeju, the eatery only sells seafood and does not use any alcohol or meat in its cooking.

3. Choonsim's House (춘심이네)

Choonsim's House (or Chunsimine) is a Muslim-friendly restaurant specialising in Korean seafood dishes. The eatery is well-known for THIS hairtail fish. Can you believe it costs 78,000KRW?!
