Bareut Sikdang 바릇식당

Right on Ilgwang Beach in Gijang, the second-floor window seats look straight out to sea. Cockle bibimbap arrives as a neat single-person tray with plenty of cockles and vegetables, seasoned lightly so you can add more sauce. Beef yukjeon (thin egg-battered beef slices) comes topped with shredded onion and a tangy mustard sauce, and ordering both makes a large meal for a light eater. Lines start before opening. Registering on the Catch Table waitlist at the door holds your place, and window seats have a separate wait. The breakwater in front is a place to pass the time.
