Samneung Gohyang Sonkalguksu
Bae-dong, near Samneung, South Korea
A bowl of hand-cut wheat noodles makes a satisfying finish to a walk around Samneung or the lower slopes of Namsan. This longstanding restaurant serves both wheat-noodle soup and a richer grain-based version in a traditional building. Seafood pancakes and acorn jelly give a table more to share. The appeal is straightforward cooking and a useful location near the trails. Ask which noodle dishes are available, especially when visiting outside the busiest lunch period.
