The warm weather and new green clothes on the mountains in June are a great place to enjoy hiking. The path up the steep mountain is a bit difficult and difficult, but the view from the summit and sense of accomplishment cannot be replaced by anything. Climbing itself is fun, but one of the fun things you can't miss is delicious food that satisfies your hunger after climbing. From places that are great for putting a cup of makgeolli on savory tofu to lamb that's great for taking care of your body! Here are 5 of the best places to eat on Seoul's hiking trails to fill your stomach.

At Manseokjang, you can enjoy a meal while looking out at Bukhansan Mountain and Bukhancheon. The signature menu is the “sambap set meal,†where you can enjoy meat that has gone through a pristine roasting process to make use of its moist, juicy meat. Along with the meat, it is served with miso stew, wild vegetable bibimbap, steamed egg custard, and soft tofu. You can choose meat to suit your preferences, such as pork belly, duck, and shoulder loin, and you can use the wrapped vegetables as an all-you-can-refill.

“Grandpa Achasan†has a long history of 40 years. The signature menu, “sundubu,†is made from 100% domestic soybeans and has a light yet rich flavor. You can enjoy the natural flavor of sundubu with marinated seaweed without seasoning, and then eat it with sauce, kimchi, etc. I also like the seasonal menu “Kongguksu,†which can only be enjoyed in summer.
