An excellent barbecue restaurant was inaugurated in Kanggye City of Jagang Province last September, followed by the appearance of similar restaurants in succession in other provinces, boasting their modern architectural beauty and service environment.

The Moranbong Barbecue Restaurant was inaugurated in the capital city of Pyongyang on October 8 to start service from October 10, the significant founding anniversary of the Workers’ Party of Korea.

The restaurant was built at the foot of Moran Hill, a famous scenic spot in Pyongyang, to go well with the surrounding environment.

It has four BBQ rooms on the ground and first floors, and the rooms have balconies where customers can have barbecue in the cooling breeze. On the ground floor there is a BBQ room with rooms for private dining where customers can have barbecue with their family members, relatives or friends in a happy environment and on the first floor there is a BBQ room where customers can play billiards while having barbecue.

The restaurant serves scores of kinds of barbecue.

At present, the restaurant can serve about 2 000 customers a day and it is already very popular.

Han In Ae, a woman living on Saeppyol Street in the Hwasong area in Pyongyang said that she had tasted barbecue after having a good time at the Kaeson Youth Park and that the environment of the restaurant and the taste of the barbecue are perfect.

Kim Sun Ok, a woman living in Moranbong District who visited the restaurant with her family members, said that every architectural element of the restaurant is quite impressive from the colourful water-jet from a fountain in front of the restaurant to the decoration of its interior depicting burning charcoal and that it was more unusual to have barbecue while looking at the beautiful scenery of Moran Hill.

The manager said that the customers’ admiration for the restaurant reflects their gratitude to the socialist country which provides the people with the best things, adding that they would strive to live up to the expectations of the customers.
