Ulsan Provence Pension is a private villa-style accommodation located in Geumcheon Village, 59-1 Eomul-dong, Buk-gu, Ulsan.

Right next to the pension is Jujeon Pebble Beach, and it is also close to Dangsa Natural Raw Fish Center and Baystars CC. Guests can enjoy the sound of waves and the chirping of forest birds, and at night, they can immerse themselves in the mesmerizing laser light show from the mountains. A place you'll want to visit again.

Ulsan Buk-gu Dongdae 21-gil 18 Open daily: 10:30 AM - 9:30 PM Phone: 0507-1416-6690 Delivery available This is the room we were seated in. There are several such rooms, making it a great place for quiet family meals or group gatherings. The much-anticipated baeksuk (Korean boiled chicken) has arrived. The chicken drumstick is impressively large. It’s been cooked so well that the leg bone has completely separated from the meat. Nurungji (crispy rice) is also served. While regular porridge is delicious, I personally love porridge with nurungji in it.

Hogam 15, Dongdae 21-gil, Buk-gu, Ulsan Open daily: 10:00 AM - 4:00 AM Phone: 010-7423-0770 At Hogam Cafe, you can place your order using the tablet provided at each table. Once the pager vibrates, head to the counter to make your payment and pick up your drink. If you find the tablet difficult to use, plan to visit the rooftop, or prefer takeout, you can also order directly at the counter. On the second floor, the rooftop offers a pleasant view as there are few tall buildings nearby. The area is beautifully decorated with artificial grass and potted plants, creating a lush, outdoor ambiance. While it's lovely during the day, the atmosphere transforms into something unique when the lights are turned on at night.

#HawaiiAirlineEvent Son Yeong-hwan Bibim Guksu Kalguksu Jinjang Direct Branch 46 Jinjang Distribution Road, Buk-gu, Ulsan Tue~Sun 11:00~19:30 (19:00 last order) Regularly closed every Monday 052-289-7891 It was unique that the bibim guksu had sliced ​​water kimchi. Son Yeong-hwan Bibim Guksu & Raw Pork Cutlet said that they make their own kimchi. Adding water kimchi to the bibim guksu made it taste like homemade noodles, which was even better. This is cheese pork cutlet. Regular pork cutlets are usually very large, but cheese pork cutlet is not that big, but it is quite thick. It was also unique that they served the sauce separately. My family likes to dip their food in sauce, so it was even better.

Gahyang 15 Myeongchon-ro, Buk-gu, Ulsan Open daily: 09:00 AM - 08:30 PM Phone: 052-287-2364 This restaurant serves gan jjajang made with Korean wheat noodles. The dish is topped with a fried egg and cucumber, offering a classic and authentic gan jjajang experience. It's rare to find jjajangmyeon places that include a fried egg these days, which made this meal even more delightful. I noticed someone at the next table enjoying noodles with a red sauce, which piqued my curiosity. It seems their red jjajang is also quite popular, and I’m eager to try it next time. The gan jjajang sauce is freshly stir-fried and generously poured over the noodles, ready to be mixed. However, after mixing the noodles and sauce, I found the texture a bit dry, which was slightly disappointing. Remembering a tip I’d seen somewhere, I added a bit of jjamppong broth to the jjajangmyeon, and it significantly improved the dish. Highly recommend trying this trick if you encounter the same issue!

Myungchon Direct Branch 13-1 Myungchon 3-gil, Buk-gu, Ulsan, 1st Floor Open daily: 11:30 AM - 9:40 PM Break time: 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM (Last order at 1:30 PM) Phone: 052-283-1188 Parking available (including double parking, accommodates 6-10 cars) Side dishes are served first, including delicious-looking bossam kimchi, dried radish strips, lettuce, and perilla leaves. Here’s a serving for three people. The Best House Bossam uses only domestic fresh pork belly. The freshly boiled meat is moist and tender, making it incredibly tasty. I even enjoyed a rare glass of soju mixed with beer—pure bliss! For reference, one serving of boiled pork at The Best House Bossam is 200g of raw meat (actual weight 140g). Honestly, the portion felt a bit small if you’re eating just the meat. 😅 The Best House Bossam also runs a Naver photo review event. If you participate, you can get up to 8,000 KRW off per table during lunch specials. During dinner hours, they offer complimentary dishes like crab ramen or crab soybean paste stew.

Brunch Bean 123 Hwasan-ro, Buk-gu, Ulsan, Gold Terrace Building 1, 8th Floor, Unit 805 Open daily: 09:00 AM - 09:00 PM Break time: 03:00 PM - 04:30 PM Last order: 08:00 PM Phone: 0507-1306-0226 Orders are placed at the counter, and you need to pick up your food when the pager rings. It's somewhat like a food court style. You also need to grab your own plates and cutlery. The menu is incredibly diverse, offering steaks, pasta, risotto, salads, platters, paninis, sandwiches, and more, making it fun to choose according to your preference. We visited during dinner time and opted for pasta dishes, but if we had come for brunch, we might have chosen platters or paninis. Additionally, there are various set menus like the Brunch Set, My Way Set, Simple Set, and Steak Set, allowing you to enjoy a variety of dishes at a great value.
