Meat Culture (미트컬쳐)
Perched at Anmok Beach, the gastro pub Meat Culture offers a compelling mix of steaks and seafood fresh from the ocean in Gangneung. It is famous for its ‘Escargot Golbaengi,’ a reinterpretation of local sea snails in French ‘Escargot’ style and its ‘Swedish Meatballs’ are also a star draw. The minimalist tones of the interior accentuated with dried pollack shaped lights give it a vibe of an upscale dining without the smell of food, even with an open kitchen.

Donghae Ilmi (동해일미)
Foreign to Gangneung’s hip places is Donghae Ilmi, specializing in crabs bursting with juicy meat in tidy and clear soy sauce. It is a favorite among the locals, serving standout dishes like spicy and flavorful stir-fried squid. The eccentric interior design, vintage TV, big wall calendar, and retro floral wallpaper take you back in time the moment you step in. Clear soup with crab and egg custard come as standard and are flavorful enough to make you crave a sip of soju. The seating is all on the floor, in the typical Korean style.
