Restaurant Gomgol (곰골식당)

1-2 Bonghwangsan 1-gil, Gongju-si, Chungcheongnam-do

This renowned restaurant in Gongju is always bustling. Upon passing through its old, time-honored main gate, one is greeted by a tastefully minimalist garden leading to the eatery itself. The restaurant boasts a carefully selected main menu, offering just three specialty dishes: charcoal-grilled spicy pork, grilled fish, and braised cutlassfish. Each meal is accompanied by an abundant array of ssam (wrap) vegetables and delicious side dishes, available for unlimited refills at the self-service bar. The charcoal-grilled spicy pork is expertly cooked for immediate enjoyment, without the need for diners to grill it themselves. The smoky aroma of the charcoal complements the subtle seasonings perfectly. The grilled fish offers a delightful contrast with its crispy skin and succulent flesh. An additional perk is the option to order single servings of all menu items.
