The first restaurant on our list of Changwon restaurants is Eonyanggakdang.
This restaurant is famous for its grilled bulgogi, which is grilled over briquettes, and uses high-quality meat.
The flavorful and juicy grilled meat is a specialty, but the soup is also very popular.

Business Hours : 11:00~21:00
Menu : Beef Bulgogi, Sogukbap, Sotarogukbap, etc.
Parking available
If you’re looking for authentic bulgogi, we recommend Imjin Gaksikdang among Changwon restaurants.
It tastes similar to Eonyang Bulgogi or Bassak Bulgogi. You can really taste the charcoal flavor as it is grilled over charcoal.
The white kimchi that came with the main dish was flavorful and went well with the beef bulgogi.
Norenssi
Address: 288, Haean-daero, Masanhappo-gu, Changwon-si (Sinpo-dong 1-ga)
Business Hours : 12:00~22:30(Break time 15:00~17:00)

Parking available
Norenshi is a restaurant that pioneered a new genre of Japanese food by blending Japanese and Western flavors. We were able to taste a variety of fusion dishes.
The restaurant has an open-air room, so you can feel the unique Japanese interior.
The prices are not cheap, but the food and the atmosphere were very satisfying.
I would recommend this restaurant for an important gathering or a date with your significant other.
Cave House
Address: 35, Gapo Haean-gil, Masan Happo-gu, Changwon-si (Gapo-dong)
Hours : 12:00~21:30(Break time 15:00~17:00) – Closed on Mondays
Menu : Chon-dak baeksuk, sulfur duck baeksuk, duck bulgogi, duck soup, etc.
Parking available
At Cave House, I was able to enjoy both the large meaty native chicken backsuk and mallard duck backsuk.
The interior of the restaurant is made up of a natural cave, so it was a different atmosphere from the traditional restaurant.
The baksuk takes a long time to cook. It is recommended that diners order in advance. They should arrive an hour before visiting the cave house. The restaurant is also popular in the summer because you can eat inside the cave, which is cool and comfortable.
Baekjeryeong
Address: 383-4, 3-15-daero, Masanhappo-gu, Changwon-si (Jungseong-dong)
Business Hours: 11:30~21:30
Menu: Samgyetang, Korean-style grilled chicken, grilled freshwater eel, abalone, matsutake mushrooms, etc.
Parking available
Baekje-ryeong is a restaurant specializing in samgyetang with a history of over 35 years. Here, you can enjoy samgyetang with a savory and light broth.
The store is housed in a renovated hanok, giving it a quaint atmosphere.
The side dishes were served in custom-made ceramic bowls. The hanok atmosphere added to the dining experience. The taste of the samgyetang was delightful.
Real Thatch House
Address: 8-2, Odongnam 3-gil, Masan Happo-gu, Changwon-si (Odong-dong)
Business Hours: 10:00~21:00
Menu: Steamed monkfish, steamed muddled duck, monkfish soup, etc.
Parking available
At Real Thatch House, I was able to experience a variety of dishes using monkfish.
By using very large monkfish and removing as much of the pungent flavor as possible, I was able to taste the delicious steamed monkfish flavor without having to choose.
Gopdol
Address : 58, Jungwon Siri, Jinhae-gu, Changwon-si (Daecheon-dong)
Business Hours : 11:00~23:00(Break time 15:00~17:00)
Menu : Gopchang hot pot, assorted hot pot, stir-fried blackbird, etc.
Parking available
Gopdol is a restaurant specializing in gopchang hotpot. It was popular among the younger generation because it served a lot of clean gopchang without any grime. The food was served neatly. This ranged from the side dish to the main dish. The quality of the main dish, gopchang, was good. Therefore, I put it on my list of Changwon restaurants. It is recommended to fry fried rice in the soup left over after finishing the hot pot.
Durebak Sikdang
Address : 27, Dongjin-ro, Jinhae-gu, Changwon-si (Go)
Business Hours : 09:30~21:00
Menu: Bone Haejangguk, Potato Soup, Ramen Sari, etc.
Parking available
Durebak Sikdang was a great place to eat, and the bone haejangguk, which contains plenty of bones, was a specialty.
This was thanks to the generous investment of ingredients, including Chinese cabbage and bean sprouts.
If you have a large group, it’s a good option to order potato soup instead of bone haejangguk.
The side dishes were a bit short. However, I give this restaurant a big thumbs up for the flavorful, thick, and tender bones.
Sweet Lab
Address: 73-1, Sokcheon-ro, Jinhae-gu, Changwon-si (Daedeok-dong)
Business Hours: 10:00~23:00
Menu: Shiromochi, mille-feuille, rolls, brownies, egg tarts, coffee, juice, etc.
No parking available
Sweet Lab is a dessert cafe, not a regular restaurant. I was going to exclude it from the list of Changwon restaurants. However, I added it to the list because it has many delicious baked goods, including roll cakes with fresh cream and castella. There are many different types of baked goods, but we recommend the castella and bread.
Chosim
Address: 36, Chungjang-ro 575beon-gil, Jinhae-gu, Changwon-si (Pungho-dong)
Hours : 11:00~23:00(Break time 14:30~16:30)

The pork back ribs were my favorite. The meat was tender and didn’t have a strong odor.
