Tamra Fairy

A large pub with a Japanese-style atmosphere, operating daily from 5 PM to 2 AM. If you're driving, you can use the public parking lot near Jegwang Church. The remodeled second floor features several private rooms accommodating 2 to 8 people, creating an exotic ambiance reminiscent of a trip to Japan, befitting its specialty as a yakiniku restaurant. On the day I visited, I ordered the Tamra Set, which includes Korean beef tartare, flower ribeye, bone-in short ribs, marinated short ribs, and soybean paste stew, all for 58,000 KRW (450g). Despite being beef, the price was reasonable, making it a great value for those seeking a good restaurant or pub near Jeju City Hall. Before heading to the second floor, I explored the first floor, which features wooden tables by the windows offering outdoor views and sofa chairs for comfortable dining. There are large tables for 2, 4, 6, or 8 people, each equipped with a call bell for convenient menu or drink requests, and coat hangers, which I found thoughtful. The restaurant is well-known among Jeju locals for its great value dishes. Its signature menu includes yakiniku sets made with prime-grade beef. The Tsubo Galbi (marinated ribs) costs 39,000 KRW for 400g, while the Tamra Set I tried costs 58,000 KRW for 450g. A la carte options include flower ribeye, bone-in short ribs, Tsubo Galbi, Korean beef tongue, brisket, Korean beef tartare with seaweed, cold ramen, and soybean paste stew. Despite using top-grade ingredients, the prices are affordable compared to other beef specialty restaurants. Besides Jeju yakiniku beef, the menu also offers grilled mero fish, rose cream chicken, stir-fried beef belly with bean sprouts, seafood yakisoba, beef tataki, chicken nanban, and Kansai-style sukiyaki prepared in traditional Japanese methods. Side dishes include charcoal-grilled skewers, Korean beef tripe hot pot, Nagasaki champon, tendon oden soup, mizutaki, chicken karaage, squid tempura, octopus tempura, marinated tomatoes, maze soba, yuzu cream cheese, and more. There’s also a wide variety of highballs to suit different tastes. I grilled flower ribeye and bone-in short ribs on the charcoal grill. The set menu included green onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, and corn, which paired well with the beef. The air conditioning kept the place cool even in summer, adding to the comfort. The flower ribeye and bone-in short ribs were of prime-grade Korean beef, representing only 5–8% of total production, and their quality was outstanding. My companion was equally satisfied, making these dishes a must-try for beef lovers visiting Jeju.
