Galbat Restaurant

The mandarin fish caught in the Geumgang River is famous as a specialty of Daejeon that was presented to kings during the Joseon Dynasty, and the Sintanjin area in the middle reaches of the Geumgang River has long developed freshwater fish cuisine. After the completion of Daecheong Dam in 1981, freshwater spicy fish stew restaurants opened nearby and their taste became recognized. Among them, Galbat Restaurant, located around Daecheong Lake, is a specialty restaurant for freshwater fish dishes. In addition to mandarin fish, it serves spicy stew and raw fish dishes using eel, trout, catfish, and more. The spicy stew is boiled with a house-made secret seasoning and various vegetables to remove the fishy smell of freshwater fish. You can briefly escape downtown Daejeon, view Daecheong Lake and the surrounding scenery, enjoy relaxation, and have a meal.
It can be accessed via Daecheonghosu-ro, and public transportation is available via Daejeon city buses 71-1 and 71-2. Nearby tourist attractions include Daecheong Dam, Geumgang Lohas Daecheong Park, Myeongsang Garden, and Daecheong Lake Waterside Park.
