Yeosu is an absolutely magical city with so much to see and eat that… well, we stuffed ourselves to the point of bursting. And then we ate some more.
It’s really the best compliment we can give to a city. Every restaurant had something amazing that we’d never seen before. Or maybe a beloved dish with a different interpretation we couldn’t wait to try. Or maybe something so weird and strange we just couldn’t help ourselves.
Whatever it was, we indulged. And this? This is everything we ate in Yeosu, South Korea.
