Freshwater-snail ssambap

A Jeongeup city meal before or after Naejangsan. This is not at the park entrance. Gujeolcho Garden is in Sannae-myeon: use this only when your journey returns through the city, not as a nearby garden restaurant.

정읍시 서부로 22

Visit & opening

Confirm today’s opening, last order and any break / closure directly before leaving. The linked listing is not a live availability feed.

What to order & how

Ask whether ssambap is priced per person and the minimum order. Snails are shellfish-like freshwater molluscs; tofu and vegetables do not make the whole set vegetarian.

Getting there

Jeongeup Station / city base → restaurant → separate taxi, car or confirmed local bus to Naejangsan. For Gujeolcho, allow a separate rural transfer and do not assume buses are frequent.
