These destinations include 'El Olivo,' a Spanish restaurant near Seonbawi Station, known for its squid ink paella and tapas. 'Bella Tunisie,' located in a Suwon alley, specializes in rare Tunisian and North African dishes like couscous and lamb tagine, prepared by a Tunisian chef. In Anyang, 'Le Dish' offers French home-style cooking, with dishes such as ratatouille and endive ham gratin.

The province also boasts 'Crazy Wings & Burgers' in Pyeongtaek, an American-style diner near Camp Humphreys that serves authentic burgers and hot wings, with some ingredients imported directly from the U.S. These establishments provide a unique opportunity to experience different cultures through food, reflecting Gyeonggi Province's diverse population and its commitment to promoting local tourism.
