Pungnammun Hanjeongsik
While primarily a hanjeongsik (traditional Korean full-course meal) restaurant, Pungnammun is actually very well-known among locals for its excellent bibimbap.
They serve their bibimbap with a wide array of side dishes, which allows you to experience a variety of flavours in just one meal!
Address: 63, Pungnammun 2-gil, Wansan-gu, Jeonju-si, Jeollabuk-do
Hasukyeong Gamasot Bibimbap
No idea where you should get your fill of authentic bibimbap in Jeonju, or want to have a taste of something a bit different from the usual offerings at other restaurants,? Then Hasukyeong Gamasot Bibimbap is the place to go!
Not only do they serve an eye-watering amount of banchan, but they also have a unique proposition. You can put the rice into a cast iron gamasot to get a crispy burnt rice, then pour barley tea in to make a special “dessert”!

Emokdae
The bibimbap here may not be usually featured in most other travel guides, but it is a truly satisfying meal to have. Just imagine eating hot, flavourful rice in the cold winter!
The highlight, however, is the beef patties. Don’t think that they are just hamburger patties: these beef patties really pack a punch! The spring onions that were added for garnishing add a delightful zest to the already very addictive marinated meat.
