Geumdeungeo Deuran-gil: Daegu Family Dining by Suseongmot Lake

To celebrate my in-laws' birthday,

I dared not(?) make grilled fish at home due to the smell,

So to treat them to delicious grilled fish,

We headed out to a famous restaurant near Suseongmot Lake!🐟

Known for its neat semi-Korean traditional set meal,

It's already a well-known spot for family meals,

Especially for parents, around Suseongmot Lake.

We made a reservation in advance at

'Geumdeungeo Deuran-gil Main Branch' and visited!

1. Parking & Entrance

The entrance to the parking lot was a bit unique,

And for a moment, Yappu and I wondered, "Which way do we go?"

But the signs were large and clear,

So you won't have to worry if you just follow your navigation!

You can park on the first floor of the building,

And even if it's full, there's a dedicated parking tower,

With up to 2 hours of complimentary parking!

When you're looking for a delicious restaurant in Deuran-gil with easy parking,

This place is absolutely perfect👍

2. A Refreshing Deuran-gil Restaurant with Private Rooms and Absolutely No Fishy Smell

Since we made a reservation in advance,

We were guided to a private, room-like seating area inside.

As soon as we stepped inside, we were amazed by the high ceilings and

Stylish interior...🤍

It turns out the building even won a design award!

Even though it's a grilled fish restaurant, there was absolutely no fishy smell,

And the ventilation was incredibly good,

Creating such a pleasant and refreshing atmosphere in this Deuran-gil private room restaurant,

Perfect for bringing parents!

3. A Heartfelt Semi-Korean Traditional Set Meal, Prepared with Koji Salt

Geumdeungeo (the restaurant/brand) uses nutritious mackerel,

Aged with sea salt sourced from New Zealand's pristine waters,

And further enhanced with rice koji salt!

Talk about dedication, right?!

For our family meal for 4 adults,

we ordered the signature kiln-baked mackerel (3 servings / ~$14),

along with spicy stir-fried pork (1 serving / ~$15) and

spicy seasoned cockles (~$7)!

From the initial spread, the variety of side dishes was simply incredible,

and each and every side dish was of such exquisite quality,

it felt like we were dining at a high-end Hanjeongsik restaurant by Suseong Lake!

And get this, these high-quality side dishes

are available for unlimited refills at the self-service bar...

We were so hungry, we absolutely gorged ourselves! 🫢

4. The Grand Entrance: 450°C Kiln-Baked Mackerel and Hearty Main Courses

Soon after, fresh from the 450°C kiln,

the golden-brown kiln-baked mackerel made its grand entrance! 🔥

So we could eat warmly throughout the meal,

with the careful consideration of turning on the induction cooker to level 1,

we were all incredibly touched! 💛

Crispy on the outside! Juicy and tender on the inside~

with all its savory juices perfectly locked in,

we just couldn't stop reaching for more!

Our spoons were working overtime! 🐷

With a spoonful of savory chard doenjang soup,

and a piece of nuruk-salt aged mackerel on top,

the white rice magically tastes incredibly sweet...🍚

Add in the spicy and sweet stir-fried pork,

and with the tangy and chewy seasoned cockles,

it truly was a perfect Daegu Hanjeongsik feast!

5. Thoughtful Dessert Corner & Take-Home Banchan

After finishing our meal, we headed to the dessert corner,

and guess what? Refreshing apricot juice and crispy Gangjeong

were all ready for us!

With a Starbucks bean-to-cup coffee machine

and even ice cups available,

I thought this would be a perfect spot for a lunch gathering

too!

In a corner of the restaurant, there was also a refrigerator selling delicious banchan,

so you can even buy the side dishes you loved

and take them home!

From the comfortable facilities to the neat and delicious food,

and even ample parking – I absolutely loved everything about

Geumdeungeo Deuran-gil Main Branch!

If you're looking for a place for upcoming holidays, family gatherings,

or a family dining spot in Suseong-gu,

you absolutely have to visit! Highly recommended 🤍
