Local food streets in Sejong

The oldest market in the city, and unmistakably different in feel from the new downtown.

The new downtown restaurant strip, busiest at weekday lunch and dinner.

Around the Government Complex in Eojin-dong, restaurants serve the office crowd. Fast-turnover set meals and soups dominate at lunch; evenings are quiet.

Several outlets across the city where nearby farms deliver the same day.

Along the highway south of the Geum River, Geumnam-myeon has scattered country restaurants serving acorn jelly rice, handmade tofu and spicy fish stew. A weekend drive of about 15 minutes from the new town.
