Jinnam Maeuntang | 美食信息 | K-Travel Mate

Jinnam Maeuntang has been operated since 1966, when the founder's mother (Lee Bong-seon) opened the restaurant, followed by the youngest daughter (Kim Young-hee) as the second generation, and now the third generation continues the legacy. It cooks natural freshwater spicy fish stew using a family recipe passed down. At that time, with large coal mines such as Daeseong, Bongmyeong, and Eunseong nearby, the dish was popular among the executives and workers. Although the mines have since closed, customers who cannot forget the taste still visit, and many travelers passing through the Jungbu Naeryuk Expressway come to Jinnam Gyoban, the premier scenic spot of Gyeongbuk Palgyeong, to enjoy the stew. Currently, it boasts a deep and rich flavor by combining freshwater fish such as catfish, mixed fish, and Korean snakehead caught directly from the Yeong River, homemade red chili paste, and herbal broth, known for relieving body swelling and promoting energy flow. At the terrace seats, diners can enjoy views of Gomosan Fortress, Jinnam Bridge, and Baekhwasan Mountain.
