3 Best Restaurants in Busan, South Korea

Situated on a back street in an old house, this hip, cozy space not only serves up a friendly atmosphere, but also the best vegan food in town. There is also a terrific selection of wine, beer, and cocktails, as well as live music on Saturday nights. Home is the place to go for a very unique experience in Haeundae, and the English-speaking staff is as friendly as it gets.

New York–style slices and pies are served with a sweeping view of the beach and the Gwangan Diamond Bridge at SOL. Easily the best pizza in town, it comes with a whole slew of craft beers on tap to boot.

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.
