About this experience

Restaurants & Dining in Nari Basin is a culinary tour of the volcanic highland village on Ulleungdo, where local eateries serve dishes made from mountain herbs, wild greens, and freshwater trout. The basin’s remote location shapes a menu of slow-food traditions, including buckwheat pancakes and soybean-paste stews. Visitors dine in rustic family-run houses with views of the crater plain.

What to expect

Meals are served family-style in traditional hanok dining rooms, with a typical lunch lasting 60 to 90 minutes.
Each set menu includes at least five side dishes of foraged greens, such as gondre and chamnamul, harvested from the surrounding slopes.
Freshwater trout, raised in the basin’s spring-fed streams, is grilled or served raw as hoe, a local specialty.
Buckwheat noodles or pancakes are hand-made on-site, and visitors can watch the preparation in the open kitchen.
Dining options suit small groups and solo travellers, with most restaurants offering set meals for two to four people.
Reservations are recommended for weekend lunches, as the basin’s few dining rooms fill with day-trippers from the ferry.
