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.
While Busan is a great food town, it's never been known for its fine-dining scene. This has begun to change in recent years with the addition of establishments such as Lab 24, where chef Edward Kwon dishes out French-inspired plates with gentle nods to Korean flavors. The dining room directly overlooks Songjeong Beach, which serves as a terrific backdrop for an indulgent, leisurely prix-fixe meal.
