Grumpy Baby is a great little spot near the GEC that serves good American style food. We were there for late breakfast/early lunch so the family split what we ordered.
I had the Bigger Breakfast and had eggs prepared to perfection, good potatoes, buttered toast and bacon. My wife had a tasty Clubhouse sandwich which was just about what you'd expect to get in a club sandwich. Our son had the Blueberry Pancakes which came sprinkled with cinnamon and powdered sugar, much to his enjoyment. Our daughter had a cheeseburger that, although not huge, was enjoyable. It will never be compared to the best burgers in the GEC, but it's respectable.
Throw in some hot tea, a bottomless coffee, and two very generous hotel chocolates and it was a nice meal for the price. We also got their Philly Cheese Steak for an additional nibble/takeaway for the next day's lunch. That one actually has some spice to it. It's not Korean hot, but it's pleasantly warm.
The only real drawback toy Grumpy Baby is that it's a small restaurant. Very little parking and only a handful of indoor tables. But I'm not docking anything for that. The food is why you go anyway. Add to that that the staff are friendly and accommodating and it's worth the visit. It's a good place for breakfast/brunch/lunch....

We were graced with such loving hospitality by the owners who were able to converse in English. Their American brunch menu was a delight; fluffy omelette, crispy potatoes and lovely pancakes with a side of homemade marmalade (a must try).
The owner also went above and beyond when we inquired about gift shops to buy food-related souvenirs. The place has a cosy decor but the food and hospitality were the things that made our day. It felt like being with family with an appearance from the grumpy baby herself. Would highly recommend for those seeking American comfort food if the restaurants signs in Jeju confuse you too much.

ย ย ย Read moreApparently the name comes from the attitude of the owner or whoever was serving the food. And it took no time to make me feel grumpy as well. Pancake was OK. Bread was cheap n off the shelf of dollar store kinda quality to it but at least edible - only because I was hungry. HOWEVER, DO NOT EVER GET OMELETTE. It looked like train ran over it and tasted like an egg mixed with cat puke. I would've even admired the audacity of the owner who served it to the patrons and had a gall to charge them for it had it not for the fact that I was the one paying for it - with my...
