Busan's own 돼지국밥 / dwaeji gukbap! Although the place I thought made it best had seriously gone downhill the last time I visited. I'm sure there's another hole in the wall somewhere else that now reigns supreme though.

I would recommend any kind of seafood since it is located off the coast. There is nothing better than eating freshly caught seafood!
You can always go to Bujeon Market and try a variety of foods. You will pretty much get a good mix of different types of foods while exploring a decent market in Busan.

I always recommend Jagalchi Market.

You get to pick from the day's catch, haggle on prices, and then go upstairs where they cook and serve your food that you just picked out. It is a true Busan experience!! Freshest seafood in the city!!

Awesome! What’s your opinion of the place?

1 upvotes on reddit

bookmarkjedi · 4 months ago

One great place is 풍원장 꼬막정찬 마린시티점. The two main dishes are 꼬막무침 and the dish with the rice (which I prefer). Both are KRW 22,000 (USD $15.70) tax included. It's a veritable feast with lots of delicious side dishes.

After that, a visit to the cafe at the Park Hyatt Busan will give you one of the prettiest sunset/evening views of Gwangan Bridge. It's only a little less than the amazing meal for a single drink, but it's well worth it for people who are traveling - unless you're a hobo troubadour scraping up 1,000 won bills to get to your next destination. There's also Dongbaek island and Haeundae Beach within walking distance.

Best food in Busan

Posted by hvezdy · in r/busan · 2 years ago

Hello everyone. We are visiting Busan with a friend and we would like to ask for tips for the best food here.

We love korean BBQ, we would also like to taste some good bibimbap and korean pancakes. Tips for any great food are really welcome. Sadly I'm allergic to seafood, so no seafood for me.

I lived in busan for 1.5 years during covid ...

..and it was still pretty awesome.

One tip that I haven't seen yet is that in Korea and scattered throughout the country are establishments/restaurants with a "100 year old business" (백년) badge. Try those retaurants, they have existed longer than my parents & grandparents (who are korean) and they are 100 years old for a reason - premium cultural spots!

There are a couple on the Haeundae area (I'm sure you will be going there). Some bbq and Korean 100 year old joints in Busan is what makes Busan so VIBEY.

Enjoy~~

Busan has amazing fried pork restaurant called 깡돼후. They have the 양념 flavored sauce option, and even as a Korean it was one of the best fried meat I ever had👍🏻

make_a_scene · 3 years ago

모모스커피 beware of waiting to even get in. I was there shortly after it opened and there was a 2hr list to enter. But will agree their coffee is of good quality.

On the subject of coffee.

Werk Coffee Roasters, super good quality coffee with a range of in house roasted beans. Many coffee shops in Korea source their beans from these guys.

Naive Coffee Roasters, maybe one of my favorite coffees in the country. Small shop where the owners really care about the standard of each cup served, they’re really nice guys too. Bonus is that they have a cat that hangs around the cafe.

Edit*

Raw & Sweet Coffee (서면점) coffee is a not quite to the standard as the above mentioned places, but certainly is tasty enough. They serve some delicious cookies and the selling point for me is the outside seating on a pedestrian only street. Really nice atmosphere.

Burger Shop Busan. Right next to Raw & Sweet Coffee. I know I know, it’s not Korean food during your short time Busan but if you fancy it or for anyone reading this, their burgers are amazing. Also decent music and atmosphere inside.

Hi! What are good seafood markets that aren't expensive? How much is raw squid in Busan usually? Sorry for bombarding you with questions but you sound like a local haha

1 upvotes on reddit

heartslice · 3 years ago

No worries!! 민락어민활어직판장 (Minrak Fish Market) and 자갈치시장 (Jagalchi Market) are by far the best. Most places will be about the same price, so a few extra won more is worth the quality in my opinion. They'll all cost you over 50,000 but under 100,000 for 2~3 hungry people.

[KakaoMap] 민락어민활어직판장 60, Gwanganhaebyeon-ro 312beon-gil, Suyeong-gu, Busan

http://kko.to/YR8UlYj69

[KakaoMap] 자갈치시장 52, Jagalchihaean-ro, Jung-gu, Busan

http://kko.to/aXw7cAoif

For those markets, you go and buy the fish/whatever you want to eat and bring it to a restraunt upstairs. Or you can just go to a restraunt, and they'll go and get it for you. The price can depend on a few different factors, like the quality and size of the animal, so I can't give any specific amounts. That's also why I like to go buy mine, though. You can pick exactly what you want.

A portion of raw squid (산낙지) for 2~~3 can put you out about 20,000~~30,000 krw depending on the place.

There are quite a few smaller places where you eat on rocks right next to the ocean, eating fresh seafood someone caught that day. Those usually only serve shellfish and take cash or bank transfer, though. You can find those in a lot of places near the sea. My favorite is in Taejongdae (not actually at the lighthouse, but if you take the train thing, get off at that stop and walk all the way down).

[KakaoMap] Yeongdo Lighthouse 181, Jeonmang-ro, Yeongdo-gu, Busan

http://kko.to/s6CpUEbTz

There are also a bunch of seafood places by Chungsapo, which is a decent, quiet area if you want to go out that far!

[KakaoMap] 청사포조개구이촌 591-15, Jung-dong, Haeundae-gu, Busan

http://kko.to/28Llu46iS

9 times out of 10, the best places are the ones that look rundown and like they've been there for 20 years, also if they have an old woman sitting near the door. Can rarely go wrong with those haha

Places to eat at seomyeun

Posted by Austin854 · in r/busan · 1 month ago

I'm going to Busan with my friends. I've been to Busan a lot because my mother's family lives there but never really went out because I don't have friends there. Now I'm going with my friends at the end of this month and I don't really know good places to eat and drink(alcohol). Any recommendations for restaurants will be great especially kbbq, sashimi, and local foods as well. My friends and I booked hotels at seomyeun. Thank you in advance.

There is another one. it's a buffet set kind of restaurant where you can also do KBBQ. For this, you have to be there in the late afternoon since due to the long waiting line, you might wait for some time or even miss the best side dishes.

You found some good out of the way places! I used to look around for new places more but lately I find myself always going back to the same ones, so I need to expand my list a bit.

I saw on your blog that you like 고등어회. It's one of my favorites too. You don't find it very often in Busan, but they farm a lot of mackerel for it on Yokjido, an island near Tongyeong. There are a lot of restaurants serving it on that island and I think most of the places serving it in Tongyeong and Busan get their live mackerel from there.
