Hamo Restaurant

Top choice in Jeju-do


An excellent choice for travellers looking for breakfast before heading out on a ferry to the nearby islands, this seafood restaurant opens early and serves home-style fare such as miyeokguk (미역국, seaweed soup). It's a five-minute walk from the ferry terminal on Molseupo's main road; look for its green awning.
