Veteran (베테랑)
Review by Nikki Breuggeman, ETA ’15-’16 City: Jeonju Restaurant Name: Veteran (베테랑) Foods Served: Kalguksu, jjolmyeon and mandu Restaurant Address: 85-1, Gyo-dong, Wansan-gu, Jeonju, Jeollabuk-do, South Korea View Map Directions: From the Jeondong Catholic Cathedral in Hanok Village, walk straight into the village. You will pass a castle on the left. Keep going straight until you come to the first intersection. Take a right. Walk past the Ministop. Veteran will be right across the street from the middle school on your left. Cost: 5,000-7,000 won per dish Wait time is very low. Takes about 5-10 minutes from ordering for food to arrive. The seating is also very quick. No waiting, come in eat, and leave. Atmosphere is alright, a bit noisy. The place is obviously for a quick meal and then to get you out again. Veteran is very clean. Staff does not speak much English, but you can point to the menu of what you want. All the food here is awesome and completely worth a stop in!
City Guide Review: Cafe Slow Life in Garden (Daegu)
Review by Arria Washington, ETA ’14-’16 City: Daegu (대구) Restaurant Name: Cafe Slow Life in Garden Food Served: Coffee, tea, sandwiches, dessert Restaurant Address: 수성구 범어3동 24-2 View Map Directions: To get there by subway, go to Beomeo station on Line 2, and take Exit 1. Walk straight a bit and make the first right. Then continue straight for five to eight minutes. You’ll eventually pass several other cafes including Café PR and Café Mama on your right. Keep straight until you see a GS25, then turn right. Slow Life is on your right. Cost: 3,000-6,500 won It’s hard to say what’s better at Slow Life in Garden- the food or the atmosphere. Part cozy home, part chic garden, and part art gallery. Although the place is pretty big (three floors and plenty of outdoor seating) it’s sectioned off into small areas that feel private. There are spaces perfect for getting work done, chatting with one or two friends, and lounging around in larger groups. There’s even area with plush white couches that can be reserved. All decorated with plants and set to a mellow, jazzy soundtrack. But if you go for the atmosphere, you’ll stay for the food and drink. The café serves teas, coffee, and cold drinks like smoothies and “ade”. The green grape ade is like a slushy all grown up, and great for summer weather. They also have cold sandwiches, like the chicken breast sandwich, and hot sandwiches like the double cheese tomato. Both are delicious, but if you are very hungry the tomato and cheese sandwich probably won’t fill you up. Anyway you will want to leave room for dessert. Handmade cakes, pies, and cheesecake all of which can compete with anything you’ve had back home. The service it great and food and drinks are served quickly. Most of the staff speaks English, and there is an English menu. Contact Info Tel: 053-643-2014 C.E.O. Mobile: 010-8460-6646 Facebook
