“Green Grub Chilgok: 3 Vegetarian-Friendly Food Finds.”
When it comes to Korean cuisine, there is a common denominator found among all dishes: meat. In various conversations, I’ve asked a few Korean people what their favorite dish is and their answer is, “meat.” Not a certain type of meat, just meat. I can only imagine how my friend, a vegetarian teacher in Daegu, feels. It’s in the broths, the sauces, the 김밥 Kimbap), the 만두(Mandu), the 비빔밥(Bibimbap), pasta and salads, which my friend points out are foods where meat (including fish, so 갈국수Kalguksu with its fish-based broth cannot be considered vegetarian ) can be left out, yet rarely is. Moreover, attempts to ask waiters and chefs to leave the meat out of the 비빔밥(Bibimbap) can be hit or miss. Finding a restaurant that provides some vegetarian-friendly options can prove to be a bit difficult here in Daegu. However, there are gems here and there all around the city of Daegu that allow vegetarians the opportunity and variety to eat more than rice and side dishes when out with friends! The first stop is in 칠곡Chilgok, a northern county in 북구Bukgu. Below are three vegetarian-tested friendly food finds in the칠곡Chilgok area.
다담뜰을 Dadamddeuleul
397-1, Eupnaedong, Buk-gu, Daegu
Number one on this list is다담뜰을Dadamddeuleul, an all-you-can-eat buffet for the wonderful price of 8,000\ per adult. The main appeal is the do-it-yourself 비빔밥(Bibimbap) that offers a wide variety of seasoned vegetables and various kinds of rice to choose from. Furthermore, there are tofu, noodles, soups, sauces, and dessert options available to chow down on. Veggie and meat eaters alike will have no issues eating out together for a fun and filling meal.
곤지곤지 Gonji Gonji
16-5, Dongam-ro 12-gil, Buk-gu, Daegu
Another great vegetarian friendly restaurant in칠곡Chilgok is곤지곤지Gonja Gonja. 비빔밥(Bibimbap) is also a top dish you can create yourself in whatever way you please and the portions are plentiful and delicious. There is also delicious 파전Pajeon (a savory vegetable pancake) and된장찌개Doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) with rice on the side that is so good. With traditional floor seating, long tables, and many drinks to go around, this is a wonderful restaurant to bring your friends together and catch up on each other’s lives.
The Pho
50-9, Guam-ro 65-gil, Buk-gu, Daegu
While not as vegetarian friendly as the previous restaurants, my friend recommended this eatery as a good place to share food with a meat-eater buddy. We ordered the pineapple fried rice and the Special Menu Set B to share together and it was delicious. With this dish we got the chance to make our own wraps by filling them with whatever veggies and sauces we desired. Word of caution: there is meat at the center of this platter and in the broth, it is quite easy to eat around and to not eat the broth at all. The meal was delicious, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the music was pretty cool. Overall, The Pho is a pretty good place to eat at.
If you’re in the 칠곡Chilgok area and are ready to eat, try one of these restaurants to ease your hunger and enjoy a meal with a friend.
