Turmbräu
This delightful little brewery serves German-style beers and Euro food favorites such as wurst, goulash, and schnitzel, bringing a nice taste of Deutchsland to the beach of Busan.
35 Best Restaurants in Busan, South Korea
Busan overflows with restaurants and cafes of every description. Portions are large and prices are reasonable so it's as easy to indulge in fine dining as it is in street food—options at both ends of the price scale are most likely serving local seafood specialties, particularly in the area around the Jagalchi Markets.
Ventanas
Located inside the Novotel hotel, this steak and seafood restaurant has fantastic sea views, mood lighting, and a modern décor of sepia tones and dark wood. It's arguably one of the most attractive (and romantic) restaurants in Haeundae. All meals are set menus made with the highest quality ingredients—the beef mignon and rack of lamb are sourced from Australia. Ventanas also has the most extensive wine list in Busan but on Mondays and Thursdays they do allow diners to bring their own wine (no corkage for the first two bottles).
Waeshik Il Beonga
The Seomyeon branch of this popular beef galbi (rib meat) barbecue chain is both elegant and immaculate, complete with a small stream running through the building. The restaurant specializes in fresh cuts of imported beef (American and Australian), making it slightly easier on the wallet than the places that only serve Korean hanwoo.

Woojung Dolsot Bibimbap
This chain specializes in myriad varieties of bibimbap, Korea's healthy mixed-rice dish that has become synonymous with the country's cuisine. For the full experience, make sure to order the dolsot bibimbap, which comes sizzling in a hot stone pot. Vegetarians will also have options here.
Woosung Samgyetang
This Busan institution is one of the best places in town to satisfy your craving for samgyetang (chicken ginseng soup). The broth is so clean tasting that it's almost medicinal, and the whole rice-stuffed chicken in your bowl is fall-off-the-bone tender. Woosung Samgyetang is located on a side street in the Suyeong neighborhood, just one subway stop away from Gwangalli. Be prepared to wait.
