1. Tofu factory transformed into an atmospheric cafe, 'Brancusi' in Yongmun-dong
“Brancusi†is a cafe in Yongmun-dong that has an impressive green gate. The clear glass ceiling, the interior of a renovated tofu factory, the metalwork studio on one side, and vintage desks and chairs combine nicely to create a unique atmosphere. They make their own desserts that can be eaten with coffee, and their caneles, which are crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, are popular. The “Basil Tomato Pizza†made from homegrown basil, which goes great with beer, is also popular. If you go through the inside door of the store, you can also see the terrace through the garden, so be sure to check it out.

2. Chuncheon 'Positives', a place that makes you rethink the uniqueness of everyday life
Chuncheon 'Positives' is a cafe that reminds me of memories of my grandmother's house when I had fun playing as a child because it was a pity that the years passed and the space touched by people disappeared. The walnut trees standing tall in the middle of the yard and the plants scattered all over the place create a relaxing atmosphere. Positives creates a seasonal menu with crops from their own farm, and their most popular menu is the sweet and aromatic “peach juice†that is only available in summer. It operates as a cafe during the day and turns into a small rental house at night, so if you're planning a trip to Chuncheon, you might consider staying at Positives.

The dining pub “Lee Baek Nam's Grillâ€, located in Seomyeon, specializes in Mexican cuisine that just opened.

The restaurant's most popular menu is “Lee Baek Nam's grilled fajita,†which is a Mexican food where grilled sirloin steak, ribs, shrimp, deli pork, and carnitas are wrapped in a tortilla. The onion underneath the meat adds umami, and since all of the tortillas and various sauces can be refilled as much as you want, you can enjoy the dish without any shortage. Since it's a dining pub, it's a good idea to serve it with a cool beer that's available.

Unlike other cafes in Seoul, Doff Coffee, which boasts a spacious space, has an open feeling, and the 2nd floor has natural light, so you can feel both luxurious and warm.

8. “La Eskina†cod where you can eat a hearty meal
“La Eskinaâ€, located in Samdeok-dong, Daegu, offers a variety of menus from Korean to Western food. The eight exquisite side dishes that come with the main menu all have a hearty and clean look and taste as if they had come from home. The signature dish, La Eskina's pork cutlet, goes better with salt than pork cutlet sauce because the thin, crispy batter wraps around the thick meat. Also, keep in mind that kimchi stew can be ordered from pork, beef, or tuna. A variety of other menus are also available, such as chicken oyster and double cheeseburger.
