Gomanaru

Top choice in Chungcheongnam-do


This restaurant serves the prettiest ssambap (assorted ingredients with rice and lettuce wraps) around, with a fragrant array of leaves and handfuls of colourful edible flowers. Solo diners can get a bibimbap (rice, egg, meat and veg with chilli sauce) that looks like a bouquet. Grab a seat by the window for views of Gongsan-seong lit up at night.
