1 Best Restaurant in Side Trips from Busan, South Korea

Hongsi Hanjeongshik

$$$ Fodor's choice

The local favorite serves full-course traditional Korean fare, with entrees like bulgogi (marinated beef), jeon (savory pancake), dwaenjang jjigae (bean paste stew), and fried fish, all accompanied by myriad side dishes. Not only is the food terrific, but the service is top notch, and the old hanok house the restaurant calls home adds to the charm. Make sure to order a bottle of their locally made dong-dong ju or cheongju (rice wines) to wash it all down, or if tea is more your thing, choose a healthy brew from their expansive list.
