Namhae

A long-standing local favorite specializing in agujjim (spicy braised monkfish). The signature dish is the aged-kimchi agujjim, generously topped with well-fermented kimchi and steamed until spicy and tender; many diners note it's savory without being overly salty. Expect a wait during peak meal times.

Known for its outdoor terrace overlooking Daraengi Village's terraced rice paddies and the sea beyond. The signature pairing is the seafood pancake with citron makgeolli, though the menu also features other Namhae specialties like anchovy lettuce-wrap rice and sea urchin bibimbap. Popular with tourists, so expect a wait on weekends and during peak season.

It is a café with drinks in a vibrant design and a variety of desserts.

It’s a great place to enjoy Namhae’s natural scenery, and when families want to relax together in a luxurious setting.

A lively, old-fashioned market selling fresh seafood, vegetables, clothing, and local snacks. Namhae's famous specialty, anchovies (myeolchi), are a highlight here — look for dried anchovies, anchovy sauce (myeolchi-jeot), and other anchovy products from the region's renowned bamboo-trap (jukbangnyeom) fisheries. It's also a good spot to try nostalgic street snacks like rice-ball porridge from the vendors near the market entrance.
