Café Rio Rico is a brunch café on a hillside near the entrance to Haengju Fortress in Goyang. Floor-to-ceiling windows on the 2nd and 3rd floors open onto views of the Han River and the city skyline, and the 4th-floor rooftop offers an unobstructed spot to take in the sunset and night views. Unlike garden-concept cafés such as Baedagol Bakery Foret or Fillmood, what sets this one apart is a Han River-view rooftop that pairs naturally with a walk or hike at Haengju Fortress.
