Seogwipo Olle Market (서귀포매일올레시장) is the busiest place to eat in downtown Seogwipo, and most visitors to Jeju’s south coast end up walking through it at least once. This guide covers where to eat in and around the market, plus a few spots in New Seogwipo, toward Jungmun and out in Namwon that are worth a short drive.
The picks below are adapted from visits by Revitguide reviewer 호미식 (Homisik), who rated each 3.5 out of 5. These are solid local picks rather than a ranking, and each section links to the original Korean review.
Seogwipo Olle Market at a Glance
Seogwipo Maeil Olle Market is the largest and oldest permanent market in Seogwipo. “Maeil” means every day, and the market is open year-round. These days the stalls lean toward Seogwipo specialties such as tangerines and hallabong, fresh fish like silver galchi (hairtail), mackerel and tilefish, and black pork, as well as street snacks for visitors.

Restaurants Near Seogwipo Olle Market
These four places are all a short walk from the market, so they are easy to pair with an evening stroll through the stalls.
Cheonjitgol Sikdang (천짓골식당)
Dombe means cutting board in Jeju dialect, and dombe-gogi is boiled pork served and sliced on a board. I had been to Cheonjitgol years ago, and on this return visit it was still in the same form. Part of the fun is the process: the owner slices the meat at your table and explains how to eat each piece, and that conversation feels like part of the meal. You can also choose the texture when you order, soft or chewy. The owner told us food lovers tend to prefer the chewy one, and maybe because of that, the chewy pork tasted even better to me.
The pork is good on its own, but it gets more interesting as you build wraps and add the different side dishes, so each slice keeps tasting a little different. The wait is still long, just like years ago. Plenty of places in Jeju sell dombe-gogi, but few turn the food, the talk with the owner and the way you eat into one memorable experience. If you want to try dombe-gogi properly, it is worth the wait.

Yongi Sikdang (용이식당)
Jeju is famous for grilled black pork, but this time I wanted a different pork dish, so I went to Yongi Sikdang. There is only one thing on the menu: Jeju-style duruchigi. The pork goes on the pan first, then you add radish salad, bean sprouts and shredded green onion and stir-fry everything yourself. As the vegetables release water, the sauce comes together and the meat softens, and cooking it yourself turned out to be more fun than I expected.
The flavor sticks to the basics. The sauce is milder than it looks, built on gochujang with a tang from the radish salad and crunch from the bean sprouts. It is not a dish with a huge impact, more a familiar duruchigi anyone can enjoy. At ₩10,000 a serving, it is an easy meal while traveling, and a good way to try Jeju pork beyond black pork BBQ.
- Address: 1F, 9 Jungang-ro 79beon-gil, Seogwipo (서귀포시 중앙로79번길 9)

Morukuda, Olle Market Branch (모루쿠다)
This sashimi restaurant seems well known in Jeju, and the reviewer mentions that cartoonist Heo Young-man has visited. This time I got ttaksaeu (Jeju deep-sea shrimp) sashimi to take away. The shrimp was clearly fresh, with a bouncy texture and its natural sweetness, and it held up well even as takeout. In the restaurant they fry the leftover heads for you, but that does not come with takeout, so I fried them myself. That turned out to be really good: crispy shells and rich heads, like getting a second snack. Next time I want to eat in and try the fish sashimi too.

Uneokjip, Olle Market Branch (우녁집)
There was already a wait when I arrived. Unlike the many old-school pork houses nearby, this place feels modern and clean, with a big glass wall that makes the room feel open, and the crowd skews noticeably younger. The pork explains why people come. The fun part is the range of sauces served with the meat, so you can switch dips and taste the same pork in different ways. The minari (water dropwort) on the side helps too, cutting through the richness as you go. If you want Jeju pork in a clean, modern room rather than a classic old shop, it is a good choice.
- Address: 1F, 13-5 Myeongdong-ro, Seogwipo (서귀포시 명동로 13-5)
- Hours: not verified, so check Naver Map before you go. Expect a wait at dinner.

Downtown Seogwipo, East Side
The Shed (더쉐드)
I usually do not expect much from the food at brunch cafes, but The Shed was different. I went after hearing the chef had cooked in New Zealand for a long time, and it felt more like a bistro that takes its cooking seriously than a pretty brunch spot. The lasagna was well balanced, with the layers and sauce in good order and nothing overpowering. The porcini risotto stayed with me: the mushroom aroma ran through the whole dish, with an earthy, savory depth rather than just creaminess. Everything I ordered was consistently well made, and I left curious about what to try next time.

Sundae Iyagi (순대이야기)
This is a sundae gukbap shop filled more by locals than travelers, which already raises your hopes. The sundae gukbap stays within familiar flavors and gives you a steady meal. One thing to know: the dining room can get warm. It is a neighborhood soup shop with steady local demand.

New Seogwipo and Innovation City
New Seogwipo (Sinsigaji) and the Innovation City are a short drive west of the market. These picks are useful if you are staying on that side of town.
Demi House (데미하우스)
Good Western restaurants are not easy to find in New Seogwipo, so I was glad to see this one open. I ordered a perilla oil pasta with Jeju bracken, hijiki and abalone, and a pork galbi tonkatsu. The pasta was the more interesting one: the nutty perilla oil leads, and the abalone, hijiki and bracken come together better than you might expect. The galbi tonkatsu adds a savory galbi marinade to the cutlet, which makes it oddly addictive. Overall the food is a bit above average, with clean plating and generous portions. I liked that it uses Jeju ingredients to build its own style, and since it is still new, I would like to see where it goes.

Komise (코미세)
Komise is a small one-person restaurant in New Seogwipo, with about 10 bar seats and the owner handling both cooking and service. I ordered bara chirashi and a shrimp noodle bowl. What stood out first was the quality of the ingredients. The chirashi is like sushi eaten as a rice bowl, topped with finely cut seafood, vegetables and pickled or simmered bits, and everything was fresh and came together well with the rice. The shrimp bowl had plenty of shrimp aroma in the broth without being aggressive. Watching the owner cook every dish alone at the counter made me feel grateful, and it is a small place that serves a solid meal.
- Address: 56-13 Seohojungang-ro, Seogwipo (서귀포시 서호중앙로 56-13)
- Closed: Sundays and Mondays, per Revitguide
- Tip: with about 10 seats and one person running it, expect to wait at busy times.

Be Brave, Innovation City (비브레이브)
This cafe opens very early, which makes it handy if you start your day early. I ordered the Rocher iced coffee and forgot to take a photo while drinking it. As the name suggests, it tastes like Ferrero Rocher melted into coffee: chocolate sweetness, nutty flavor and coffee together, a combination that is hard not to like. It is not a coffee with a strong, unique character, but almost nobody would dislike it. If you want a sweet coffee in the morning, it is an easy stop.

Heesinine (희신이네)
Heesinine became famous after appearing on Pungja’s “또간집”, but locals were recommending it long before. It is a chicken restaurant where the owner, who used to cook Chinese food, serves dishes of his own. The signature chicken cold noodles are different from regular milmyeon: a chicken-based broth with a cool, fresh taste that suits a hot day. The chicken kkanpunggi is well brined and pairs nicely with the noodles. My only regret was the space. After a remodel it looks very clean and modern, which felt a little out of step with food that tastes like a long-running restaurant. The old-shop mood is gone, but the food still holds up.

- Hours: Tuesday to Sunday 10:00 to 20:30, break 15:00 to 17:00, last order 20:00, closed Mondays (2026 visitor posts)

Toward Jungmun
Guksu Bada, Seogwipo Main Branch (국수바다)
Guksu Bada was already busy early in the morning. It is a large, well-promoted restaurant, and it suits travelers looking for a famous gogi guksu spot: spacious, easy to reach and good for families. Personally, it did not have the feel of an old local shop or a taste that stuck with me right away. It is more of a tidy gogi guksu restaurant built for visitors than a must-visit. I ordered the cold milmyeon, and the noodles were well made. If it is your first trip and you want an easy bowl of gogi guksu, it works fine.
- Address: 1F, 580 Iljuseo-ro, Seogwipo (서귀포시 일주서로 580, Daepo-dong), about halfway to Jungmun
- Hours: daily 08:00 to 21:00, last order 20:30, per the restaurant’s Blue Ribbon listing. Revitguide lists Wednesdays as closed, so check first.

Namwon and Wimi, East of Seogwipo
Namwon-eup is the next town east of downtown Seogwipo. These four places are a drive from the market, so they make more sense if you are heading along the south coast toward Pyoseon or Seongsan.
Namwon Handmade Tonkatsu (남원수제돈까스)
Driving around Jeju, I found Namwon has fewer restaurant options than I expected, so I was glad to find this shop, which has been in the same spot for over nine years. I ordered the basic pork loin tonkatsu. It is the old Korean Western style with plenty of sauce poured over, not Japanese tonkatsu, and they bring a bowl of soup first. The loin is fairly thick, the coating is crisp, and the sauce is familiar and easygoing, not too sweet or fruity. It is less a special tonkatsu than one that gets the basics right, and a comforting meal in Namwon.

Azur Bleu (아주르블루)
I stopped at Azur Bleu for a break between restaurants in Namwon, and the space stayed with me more than the coffee. The air conditioning was a relief in the summer heat. Through the big windows you see a well-kept garden, with a little of the sea behind it. It is not a classic wide ocean-view cafe; instead, the room, the garden and the glimpse of sea flow together nicely. It is clean and spacious, and better as a place to slow down for a while than a place to chase a view.

Baek Hancheol Kkwabaegi & Bread (백한철꽈배기&식빵)
For some reason my timing never worked here. Either it was too late or it had sold out by the time I arrived. After missing it several times, I went early in the morning, and there was still a line. With the build-up and the reputation, my expectations were high, and honestly it was not quite as moving as its fame. Still, the twisted donuts eaten warm, right after frying, were clearly good. The best way to enjoy them is to eat one as soon as you get it, rather than carrying the box around.
- Address: 56 Namhan-ro 21beon-gil, Namwon-eup (서귀포시 남원읍 남한로21번길 56)
- Hours: 07:30 to 15:30, closed Tuesdays (2026 visitor posts). Takeout only; popular items can sell out.
- Parking: no lot. Visitors use the free lot across from the fire station.
- Price: basic kkwabaegi about ₩1,000 and green onion kkwabaegi about ₩1,500 on a Polle listing

Chwihyang-ui Seom (취향의섬)
A Jeju friend recommended this fusion restaurant in Wimi as the local favorite. The menu uses Jeju ingredients in unusual ways, and the space feels like a converted house, cozy enough that eating there feels like being invited to someone’s home. The owner runs it alone, so give yourself time. I ordered a turban shell and minari pasta, a bracken and meljeot (anchovy sauce) pasta and a black sesame cream risotto. My favorites were the bracken pasta, which uses long strands of bracken like noodles, and the risotto, sweet and creamy with nutty black sesame and not too heavy. The minari pasta has a strong herb aroma that may divide people. The pasta was cooked with care, soft but still firm. The mackerel oil pasta and kimchi fried rice had sold out, so I would come back for those.
