가든포에트 (Gadeunpoeteu) — tourist trap or worth it?
Tourists rate Gadeunpoeteu 0.38 stars above locals — the widest tourist tilt among the 21 badge-qualified restaurants in Hongdae. Locals still put it at 4.42, which is a high local score by Korean standards. This is a good restaurant that tourists over-reward, not a bad one they have been sold. The median gap across badge-qualified Hongdae restaurants is +0.05, for scale.
