The best restaurants Busan 부산

It may not look like much from the outside, but this canteen is an excellent address, above all for its pork gukgap (rice soup). Popular with locals and tourists alike, it's one of the neighborhood's institutions. The portions are generous, the food delicious and the service fast and friendly. An added bonus is that it's open 24 hours a day and located right in the heart of the neighborhood. No excuse not to try it!

Fresh daily fish straight from the Jagalchi market is the promise of this restaurant. Locals come here mainly to enjoy tuna and salmon sashimi, which are simply divine. The simplicity of the products is sometimes good! For harmonious culinary notes, we recommend mixing wasabi with soy sauce and delicately dipping your piece of fish in it. The setting is equally charming, with a traditional garden that's a little cluttered but adorable.

A delicious place from every point of view! In a Korean ambience blending tradition and modernity, seated on the floor or on chairs, you can enjoy menus from the royal court(hanjeongsik). Each dish is more succulent than the next, and presented with great delicacy. Like many Korean restaurants, it's best to go at lunchtime, as prices rise considerably in the evening. This is a very good address if you want to discover a real Korean meal, 100% authentic and traditional.

According to the locals, this restaurant has the best meat in Busan! This restaurant is famous for its Hanwoo galbi (Korean beef). Your ears will long remember the crackling sound of grilling meat, and your taste buds will treasure the delicious flavor of this juicy meat. For those who love raw meat, the house tartare is equally succulent.

Open since 1950, its reputation is well established, so meat lovers beware: you can go there with your eyes closed but your mouth wide open!

Belonging to the famous Menya Sandaime chain (found in many cities), this tiny Japanese restaurant with its typical and warm atmosphere serves the best ramen (meat or fish noodle soup seasoned with miso) from Busan! It is very often full, you have to be patient. The best time to go there is at lunchtime, even if it is crowded, people eat quickly because work requires it. A real taste of Japan. And you can choose your favorite little one between Japanese ramen and Korean ramyeon.

If you ask the locals which is the best pizza restaurant in town, they'll probably say Lee Jae Mo Pizza. The menu features pizzas with crispy dough and generous, tasty toppings. But here, no 4 cheeses or Neapolitan, just Korean-style pizzas (bulgogi, kimchi, sweet potato and almond). What a surprise! You can, of course, choose additional toppings and the size of your pizza. There are also a number of pasta dishes, including shangai pasta.

A veritable Busan institution, this well-known (and therefore quite touristy) restaurant has been open since 1948. It specializes in wandang (a kind of thin-skinned Korean dumpling ) served in an unspiced but very fragrant soup/broth. Different versions are available, but we recommend the one with udong (thick noodles). You can order one of the sets and accompany your wandang with kimbap or yubu chobap (rice stuffed into a fried tofu shell). A place where you can eat well and cheaply.

This large wooden restaurant, with the look of a Japanese Izaka, attracts crowds of young (and not so young) people who come to share a hotpot, the specialty, late into the night. We recommend the kimchihotpot (if you don't mind the spices) or the Korean bouillabaisse. A very festive (and often very noisy) atmosphere reigns here, to the sound of fashionable tunes and the laughter of Koreans who have already had a few drinks. The perfect place to start a long night, because yes, it's a 술집(suljib = drinking house) more than a restaurant per se.

Ladies and Gentlemen, if you love beef from every angle, then feel free to push open the door to this barbecue restaurant. In small pieces, in strips, marinated or simply salted, you will be able to revel in the tasty beef that will be served to you. Note that the tartar is also very good. Some noodle dishes can also be ordered (yukgae ramyeon or doenjang ramyeon). In a very good restaurant which is certainly not the cheapest but which is easily forgiven once the dishes in the mouth.
