Eating out - various cuisines
It has to be pointed out that most restaurants at this end of the island are quite small, and do not hold many clients. It is not a good idea to arrange to take large parties to a restaurant without first checking it out and making sure it can accommodate your party. Things open up often without warning, and also close for good without warning, so this site will change a lot.
Remember.... these are just some simple suggestions to start with! There are so many restaurants on Jeju that you cannot ever go hungry. There is a wide range of prices, cuisines, and level of establishment. You choose! But to get you started here are some options, both near and far.
Get out there and find your own favourite, and maybe tell us so we can add it to the ever growing list of awesome "first couple of months here" eating out choices.

Here is a map of Jeju with some pins dropped in some of the most frequented eating places ;-)

These next few suggestions need some kind of transportation to get there - a car, scooter, or a bike. The 151 Express bus will get you to Moseulpo for those restaurants that are there, but you will have to walk, and the length of the walk will vary (Some restaurants are closer to the bus stops than other).
The 30min approximated time in the following table is the length of time it takes to get to these places by car.
