The best spot for the most authentic traditional Korean tea in Daegu.   No coffee and no food, but a cozy atmosphere and hot and cold teas which will knock your socks off.  Try the tart "Oh-meeja Cha" or the plum "Mae-shil Cha".  They also serve green teas (the real thing, not tea bags) and standards like ginger, ginseng, cinnamon, and jujube.   Dahooltuh is located under the KFC at the South end of downtown, next to the Police Station.   427-4282

 


3 doors down from Into is this new trendy French-Mediteranean restaurant.  The prices are rather high , but it is reportedly quite authentic food.

 


located behind Donga Baekhwajum (this is different than Donga Shopping).  This is also a location for cheap jewelry and camping gear and if you look around carefully, esp. down back alleys and up on second floors you will find a lot of black market shops, offering everything from rolled oats to cognac.  If you are one of the many people who moves to Korea and finds that the water pressure is less than you'd like, at Gyodong you can buy a water pump that will solve your problem.   Buy it at Gyodong, and they'll take care of installation for you.  Total price will be about 100,000 won.

 


This restaurant has excellent  curries (there is vegetarian curry) and rather tasteless biryani.  There is a lot of atmosphere, with Indian decorations, small private tables hidden by curtains and Indian music.   Meals cost in the region of 5,000 won.   To find the restaurant face the back of the Catholic Church, turn right and walk about two blocks.  Look on the left, and the sign is obvious.  The restaurant is on the second floor.
 


A small (four table) restaurant with excellent food and a rotating menu of specials.  The chef trained in France for several years, and the food is French and Italian.  There is a smoked salmon salad that is to die for and an extensive wine menu. Unfortunately there are no reservations and the restaurant is quite popular.  To find it, walk past Sante Fe Story (on your right) cross the street and keep going almost to the back wall of the Catholic Church.  Into will be on your right as you face the church.

 


the Seoul giant, now with a pretty darn large location here in Daegu.  They have English teaching/learning books but more importantly they also have a decent selection of novels and some nonfiction, art books, LP travel guides, and other things that you find few and far between in other bookstores.  If you buy a lot of books, make sure to get a Kyobo discount card.  (Next to the cashier).

 


the place to go for cameras, flashes, film (any film: hand rolled B & W, tungsten, 1600 ASA, Agfa B & W slide film, C41 process B & W, medium format film, large format film, etc. etc.)  They carry a full range of filters (including Cokin) and all kinds of other goodies (hot shoes, camera bags, tripods, cleaning equipment, slide projectors/mounts/file sheets, light trays).  You want it, they've either got it or they can order it.  422-1280.   Located almost at the east end of the underground shopping center.

 


A bar/cafe with two sides, one plays jazz and the other rock.   A long time steady for many foreigners in town.

 


across from Into and slightly towards central downtown you will find this Korean restaurant and dating spot.  Candle lit and smokey, a popular hang out for people in their twenties and an excellent spot to hear live music, every night starting at approximately nine.  Drink some dark beer and enjoy long time Daegu-ite Gregory Skwarok's acoustic pop and rock.  He plays old, new and orginal work every Friday from 9:30 and sometimes you can catch him on Saturday as well.

Stellar Patesserie Boulangerie
a bakery which actually has real bagels and whole grain breads... everyday.
 


Suhmoon Market supposedly has been in business for more than a thousand years in the same location.  It's the biggest market in Daegu.   It's the cheapest place to go for bedding, fabric (silk!), and kitchen equipment.    Before you leave check out the live animal market, the traditional medicine street and the ginseng alley.  Don't forget to head up and downstairs in the market or you'll miss a lot of things.   Walk West from downtown, and follow the street signs or just take a minimum fair taxi ride.
