⊙ Dongmun Traditional Market (동문재래시장)

Dongmun Traditional Market, steeped in history, stands a quintessential market of Jeju Island. Together with the adjacent Dongmun Traditional Fish Market, it forms the core of Jeju’s most significant and expansive permanent market, established right after Korea’s liberation in August 1945. Originally the island’s only permanent marketplace and a hub for its commercial activities, the market was relocated to its present site after a devastating fire in March 1954. It offers an array of goods such as vegetables, fruits, seafood, medicinal herbs, grains, and clothing. Known for its fresh catch, the market is a go-to place for seafood lovers, offering delicacies like sliced raw cutlassfish at reasonable prices. It’s also gaining popularity for its innovative dishes, including samhap (skate, pork, and kimchi combo) served with rice and abalone intestines, as well as tteokgalbi (grilled galbi patties) accompanied by whole abalone.

The espresso bar Lee Hyori fell in love with
If you are a coffee maniac or are looking for a cafe where you can focus on coffee, we recommend Rolling Brewing. Depending on the production area, the roasting that makes use of the characteristics of each specialty coffee bean is very outstanding. In addition to the espresso menu, cold brew, latte, iced tea, and ice cream are also available. The cat walking around the hip store is the mascot of this store. You can also see the autographs that Lee Hyori and Lee Sangsoon left on the book.
