While traveling, we unexpectedly visited a restaurant run by my sister's friend. Before we even went, I heard the owner was famous for closing up shop whenever she felt bored or couldn't be bothered, so my sister called ahead to make a sort of pseudo-reservation.

The shop was so charming that my mom completely lost her mind over it. She immediately started asking about the price of land per pyeong (about 3.3 square meters), bombarding the owner with questions about how much everything cost and how she did it. Even though there are only three or four tables, the owner runs it all by herself, so it was incredibly hectic. With the explosion of questions on top of that, she looked like she was on the verge of tears.

The place isn't just pretty; the one living here is also incredibly cute. The star of the show is...

It's a gorgeous little restaurant with an adorable dog, beautiful decor, and a stunning view of the ocean.

The neighborhood is so quiet and slow, it feels like time has stopped. If you eat in a place like this, your brain probably wouldn't even notice if the food came out a bit late or if you took your time eating.
