PyulmoriPyulmori is a refreshingly well-run joint-venture restaurant, coffee shop and bar. You can get decent food, coffee and excellent cake here, and in the evenings it’s a popular bar and something of an expat hang-out (this being a relative term in North Korea, of course).

Okryu RestaurantHuge, and apparently as elegant as it gets in North Korea. A big new wing opened last year. Though they are famous for simple cold noodles, there are dishes that feature, among other things, quail, terrapin and sturgeon.

Pyongyang No. 1 Duck Barbecue RestaurantPyongyang Number One Duck Barbeque is one of the best places in town and will often be where groups go on their last evening. Here you’ll be served delicious strips of duck meat you cook at your table.

Pizza restaurantPyongyang’s imaginatively named first pizza joint caused a sensation when it opened in 2009 after Kim Jong-il reportedly sent a team of chefs to Italy to learn how to make the perfect pizza. The results are pretty decent, although if you don’t fancy pizza, there’s a full range of pasta dishes, as well as the ubiquitous after-dinner karaoke.
