Stop for lunch in a traditional Hanok building. Many of the restaurants along Jeonju Hanok Village’s main streets are traditional Hanok buildings, renovated to look modern on the inside. Try Jeonju’s famous bean sprout soup with rice, which pairs perfectly with some kimchi.
Jeonju is also where one of Korea’s national dishes, bibimbap had its start. The dish consists of rice with a variety of different colorful and nutritious toppings including beef, eggs, bean sprouts, red chillies, and more. Jeonju even has an annual bibimbap festival in October to celebrate the dish.
