Daejeon

Loving Hut
Shintanjin
From Korail Shintanjin station, cross the tracks to the ''wrong side'' over the rickety bridge, head north about 10 m, and then 1 block west.

Part of a chain of organic, 100% vegan, new pseudo-religious group-run restaurants. Menus in the chain vary between outlets: Shintanjin's mostly serves rice or noodle based fare, but has a Western-style fake-meat item. Prices typically under 5,000 won, owners are friendly and probably won't try to convert you. Fake-meat can also be purchased to take home. A second outlet may be opening near Expo Park.

Kraze Burger

A Korean dine-in burger chain with an outlet in Dunsan-dong, about one and a half blocks west from the main Timeworld intersection and on the north side of the road backing on to the drinking precinct and another near City Hall. Noteworthy because the chain has extensive mushroom/tofu options for those who don't eat meat.

Little Tomo
Eunhaeng-dong, Jung-gu
under Flying Pan, in the underground shopping mall's southern spur

The latest entry into Sung Sim Dang's growing downtown empire, this is an informal cafe style Japanese restaurant. The food style is neither authentic Japanese style nor the Koreanised "izakaya" fare. Styled somewhat like a country kitchen and decorated with napkin cranes from past diners. Has the rare honor of food that looks much better in reality than on the menus out the front. Meals typicaly about 6,000 won.

Flying Pan
Eunhaeng-dong, Jung-gu
next door to Sung Sim Dang

Restaurant specialising in Italian style cooking and steaks, seemingly owned by the same folks as Sung Sim Dang next door. It's practically a local institution so cab drivers will know it. Has a seperate cafe upstairs.

Indy
Dunsan-dong
Diagonally across from the E-Mart in Dunsan-dong, near the '''T.G.I. Fridays''' and a Hanbok store. Close to Government Complex subway station and buses the #185, #215, and #115 all drive by.

Indian restaurant on the north side of town. Service may be a little slow for some and their prices are in the higher range. Curry dishes come with free rice or naan. Vegetarian options are available.

Sung Sim Dang
Eunhaeng-dong, Jung-gu

Established in 1956, this bakery has a wall full of past awards and credentials on display, the prices for baked goods are similar to elsewhere and they make their own macaroons. There is a food court upstairs serving typical continental fare.
