Cheongnimjeong Geumja Halmae-jip is a grilled eel restaurant by the river. It serves eel grilled simply with salt, eel grilled with sauce, and eel prepared with black raspberry.

It has been open for a long time, so it has many regulars, and many people come at lunch for a nourishing meal. Since it sits by the river, it's also nice for a short walk before or after eating.

Useful tips

  • There are several grilling styles, so if it's your first time, order a few to share and compare.
  • Many people come at lunch for a nourishing meal, so going outside the main mealtime is more comfortable.
  • The riverside setting also makes it a good spot for a short walk before or after your meal.
  • This is the part that confused me too while looking through the menu: as the Korea Tourism Organization listing shows, there are several styles of grilled eel, so if it's your first time, it's easiest to start with a basic flavor like salt-grilled eel and then choose any add-ons.
  • Grilled eel takes time to cook and eat, so if your next stop requires a reservation, leave plenty of room for the meal.
