The Best Restaurant in Busan, South Korea

Background Illustration for Restaurants

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.

Shinsegae Centum City Food Hall

$ | Haeundae-gu

If you're shopping in the area, this is a solid place to sit down and grab a bite. The Food Hall offers a good range of options: there are 10 outlets serving Japanese dishes such as cold soba noodles and donburi and Korean favorites like bibimbap and cold noodles. Plates are purchased using a meal ticket system—buy tickets at the main cashier to purchase meals at any of the counters. Though the department store closes at 8 pm weekdays and 9 pm on weekends, the food hall stays open until 10 pm.
