‘Rib Street’ in Andong City
Galbi Street in Andong
Galbi Street in Andong

The first place people think of when hearing the word ‘classical’ in Korea is Andong. There are Hahoe Village, Dosanseowon Confucian Academy and Confucianism Land which was built quite recently. Due to these attractions and tradition which were passed down through generations, Andong is known as the capital of Korea’s spiritual culture.

The most famous ‘food’ in Andong is Jjimdak (braised spicy chicken with vegetables) and Gan Gogeungeo(salted grilled mackerel). These two have been the longtime must-try menus.

In fact, there is a unique food street in Andong which is ‘Galbi Street’.

▲Galbi Street, across Andong Station, is always filled with that wonderful Galbi smell.

In the market, there are Tteokbokki Street, Children’s wear Street and many others which create that unique and harmonious atmosphere.
Moreover, due to the modernization projects, the whole district has become neat and clean and on weekends, motor coaches come in and out as Andong Jjimdak is getting more and more popular recently.

 

▲Restaurants waiting for customers to come in

Near the market, there is a crowded street which is full of smell of grilled Galbi. That’s Gabi Street. There were only few Galbi restaurants around the Andong Old Market but with a continuous increase of Galbi restaurants, the whole street became so-called Galbi Street.

Now, the street with about twenty restaurants became famous among tourists.

▲The price is standardized; 22,000won for 200g (1 serving)

From the entrance of the street, there are various restaurants. The names are diverse; Seoul Galbi, Andong Galbi, Seochang Galbi, etc.
As the prices are standardized, there is no need to loiter around.

▲All restaurants in this street only use Hanu (Korean beef) which is raised in Andong.

Andong Hanu is fed with natural grass and raised solely for Galbi and thus, has well-distributed fat and rich taste and smell.
In addition, it’s very soft and has a very clean taste.

▲In Galbi Street, they also have Yangnyeom galbi (marinated grilled beef ribs), Maneul galbi (grilled beef ribs with garlic).

After tasting Galbi, looking around tourist attractions nearby is a good idea.
By walking about 3km along Naktonngang from the Galbi Street, there is Woryeonggyo above Naktonggang.
Woryeonggyo which is 387m in length, 3.6m in width is the longest wooden fenced footbridge in Korea.
The mountain behind the river and dam around the bridge makes a wonderful scenery.
