Kon-Tiki Foreigner's Restaurant and Bar

Kon-Tiki is by far the best western style restaurant in Okpo. The food and service is always exemplary.

Jad great reviews of this place. Its..... well..... OK...... really..... a safe bet for the unadventurous out in Korea. Limited but functional western menu..... if you're looking for something different..... this isn't the place!

Centum Sky Lounge

Reviewed By nomadladymedic - Coldspring, Texas

I ate here recently with some co-workers and I found it to be very nice. There are large windows which offer nice views of the surrounding area and since the sky lounge lives up to their name....you can see a lot.
We arrived after lunch and were the only people in the place. The service was great, the beer was cold the food was hot and tasty. I can't ask for much more. Since we were there in the early afternoon, I can't speak about the loud music but I would go back.

La Cusine NOEL

Reviewed By DGoodbirds - Lucca, Italy

Small place, so expect sitting problems, this restaurant is popular because of the food quality.
Service is somewhat home-made but who care when you can finally eat decent food....
Fair variety on the small menu, fish and beef, few wines to pick up from.
Good chef, without reservation.

La Buona Cucina

Reviewed By DGoodbirds - Lucca, Italy

This restaurant should be renamed "La Cucina Approssimata" to better reflect the culinary level.
Vaguely Italian with some Mexican items in the menu (why???) this restaurant is neither...or...
Went to try as we were wrongly indicated to serve the best pizza in Okpo, but frankly you can find a better alternative by going elsewhere.
Drab-looking surrounding, as-it-comes service, this is probably a good italian restaurant for Norwegian as it is a nightmare for Italians.

Namaste

Reviewed By Keith & Suraida F - Cebu, Philippines

My wife and I eat at Namaste regularly. We both enjoy Indian food and although it is not our favorite Indian Restaurant in South Korea, it is conveniently located near our apartment. I know of two restaurant locations; one is in Geoje-si and the other is in Okpo. They have some great curries and we highly recommend them.

Bombay Brau Geoje Okpo

The Indian cuisine served in Bombay Brau is as diverse as Indian cultures, languages, regions and its climate. Every major region of India brings its own unique dishes and subtle variations to popular dishes. Bombay Brau is the first restaurant in Korea to combine the distinct flavors of Indian food with fresh beer brewed on the premises. It is unfiltered and unpasteurized and has live yeast while you are having it.We work on the philosophy of "Atithi Devo Bhav" Which translates as "Guest is God".We provide only the freshest ingredients available in the market and are crazy about freshness. So we make Indian cottage cheese and Indian yoghurt on the premises.We get our chicken and beef delivered every morning.Due to this focus on fresh items we even have fresh beer.

Bombay Brau at Okpo has become our regular and local favorite for at least 2 years now..
We're here at least once a week with office colleagues.
On the weekends sometimes, we spend lazy afternoons with family.
Their set menu's are excellent value for money and the beer from their brewery are good as well.
The restaurant is well lit and ambiance is perfect.
We enjoy sitting by one of their tables with the window side, overlooking the street.
My personal favorites here have been their Palak Paneer, Garlic naans, Samosas and Biryani.
The staff is all smiles and always welcoming. They customize gravies to our taste and remember it when we visit next.
Would recommend to give a try if you are in Geoje.

Bistro Zum Spatz

Reviewed By Shaun J

The lamb hock basted in beer was excellent. It was ideal for a party of 4 plus and required to be ordered well in advance. The Owner (one man band) was very helpful but with limited cooking facilities he struggled with large orders. Always a good evening out.

Spoons

Reviewed By Fouzness - South Korea

This is easily the best place for sandwiches and paninis in town -great bread and they know how to put it all together in a delicious mix! It's very nice to sit in too.
The only problem is: I have come here so many times for breakfast or lunch and have found the place closed (my partner has said the same thing). They don't have any regular hours and seem to open and close whenever they please. They advertise "all day brunch" but they're hardly ever open.

Trattoria da Fabio

Reviewed By DGoodbirds - Lucca, Italy

In the contest of this town, whereas it's difficult to escape the misery of drab, dirty and fried-whatever food local "restaurants, this venue offer some very tasty dishes.
Practically this is the only choice if you want to have something that resemble proper food from the cultural western world.
Shame about the ambience, though, rather depressing and grey....
