I tried the gently spicy fresh-pasta fricassee and salmon eggs Benedict, then looked around its sofas, terrace, and large tables. Verdict: Working Holiday Minrak is a great all-round pick for views, a meal, work, or a get-together. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Daily 09:00–22:30; last order 22:00 - **Parking**: Underground parking behind the building - **Ordering**: Order at the outdoor kiosk - **Calzone**: ₩18,000 - **Panuozzo**: ₩17,000 - **Big Brekkie**: ₩24,000 - **French Toast**: ₩17,000 - **Lemon Dill Salad**: ₩16,000 - **Summer Salad**: ₩14,000 - **Margherita / Gorgonzola**: ₩22,000 each - **Marinara**: ₩17,000 - **Diavola / Jambon**: ₩25,000 each - **Genovese**: ₩24,000 - **Pomodoro**: ₩18,000 - **Bolognese / Squid Aglio e Olio**: ₩20,000 each - **Fricassee / Shrimp Oil Pasta**: ₩19,000 each - **Croissant swap**: ₩1,000 extra instead of sourdough *as written by the visitor on Sep 10, 2026* Looking for a Gwangalli ocean-view spot filled with that sea air? I went to Working Holiday Minrak (워킹홀리데이 민락), a Minrak-dong place where you can enjoy delicious brunch, pizza, and pasta all at once in a seriously atmospheric setting! It was already famous as a Gwangalli brunch café, but after visiting, I found it was also a Minrak-dong pizza spot with insanely crisp-outside, chewy-inside dough—and it does deeply flavorful Gwangalli pasta perfectly too! ![Beginning of the visit to Working Holiday Minrak](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict-01-1kvwd-900.webp) ## Location, parking, and hours It is on the 7th floor of the Badamaru Building at the very end of the Minrak sashimi-center street. Use the underground parking lot behind the building. It is open daily from 09:00 to 22:30, with last orders at 22:00. ![Guide to the underground parking lot behind the building](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict-02-1k5gi-900.webp) ## A spacious dining room with an ocean view I liked that the open kitchen seemed to be managed so transparently. Small plates, straws, and more are displayed by the open kitchen, so you can help yourself. ![Interior of the upper-floor café in the Badamaru Building](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict-03-c55q5-900.webp) ![Open kitchen and self-service supplies](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict-04-rtfpe-900.webp) ![Open kitchen and display area for small plates](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict-05-gv0xn-900.webp) There was a wine refrigerator and a display cabinet for wine, champagne, and more at the entrance. ![Wine and champagne display at the entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict-06-6u26g-900.webp) ![Wine storage display area by the entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict-07-1gbfj-900.webp) You can help yourself to individual small plates, water (lemon water), cups, straws, and so on. The plates were a little heavier than I expected, so be careful! ![Self-service small plates and lemon water area](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict-08-1rpq6-900.webp) Wine glasses were lined up neatly. It looks like the place operates as a pub in the evening. ![Neatly arranged wine glasses](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict-09-zcaa0-900.webp) It is also a nice place to relax on the sofas and chat comfortably. ![Comfortable sofa seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict-10-112a0-900.webp) ![Sofa area ideal for conversation](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict-11-1qx0s-900.webp) The owner seems to put effort into lots of different areas, including winning a gold prize at a coffee festival. ![Information about a coffee festival gold prize](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict-12-np1ht-900.webp) There are plenty of large tables, so it is suitable for group gatherings too. ![Tables suitable for group gatherings](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict-13-1sirg-900.webp) Working Holiday Minrak is also suitable for small get-togethers. ![Café seating for small gatherings](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict-14-1wl73-900.webp) Stylish interior accessories catch your eye throughout. It feels like they paid a lot of attention to the details. ![Stylish interior accessories](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict-15-1sfwn-899.webp) I think this is the best spot for the Gwangalli view at Working Holiday Minrak in Minrak-dong. You can see it so clearly! When I went, the prime seat was open haha, so I claimed it immediately. There were lots of comfortable sofas as well as regular tables. ![Sofa seating overlooking Gwangalli Beach](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict-16-g5rxt-900.webp) The sky was blue and the sea was blue, and you could clearly see the sunlight glittering on it and the waves rolling in haha. The terrace view is no joke either. In early to mid-September, I think it would be comfortable to eat brunch on the terrace because it is less hot, and there was a lovely cool breeze. I took in the terrace view after eating too. ## Brunch and pizza on the kiosk menu ![Kiosk ordering menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict-17-jqusx-900.webp) Choose your menu at the kiosk outside, decide, and place your order. - Calzone (₩18,000): An Italian folded pizza baked with plenty of ragù sauce and cheese inside pizza dough. - Panuozzo (₩17,000): A sandwich made with house-kneaded pizza dough, generously filled with mozzarella and arugula. - Big Brekkie (₩24,000): A brunch dish full of Australian vibes. - French Toast (₩17,000): Moist, sweet French toast made with house-made sandwich bread. - Lemon Dill Salad (₩16,000): A salad with a smooth, refreshing green dressing made by blending fragrant dill and tofu. - Summer Salad (₩14,000): A cool seasonal menu with cucumber, Korean melon, and pickled watermelon, for a midsummer feeling. - Margherita (₩22,000): A classic Italian pizza for enjoying the simple flavor of tomato sauce and fragrant basil. - Gorgonzola (₩22,000): A pizza that lets you fully taste blue cheese, especially nice with honey. - Marinara (₩17,000): A tasty pizza topped with tomato sauce and garlic, even without cheese. *Please note: no cheese. - Diavola (₩25,000): A spicy pizza packed with pepperoni flavor. - Jambon (₩25,000): A pizza balancing house-made jambon ham from pork shoulder with pistachio cream. - Genovese (₩24,000): A pizza whose highlight is the deep flavor of Genovese sauce simmered for a long time. - Pomodoro (₩18,000): Tomato pasta with tomatoes' natural sweetness and freshness. - Bolognese (₩20,000): Pasta with classic ragù sauce gently simmered with beef and tomatoes. - Fricassee (₩19,000): Cream pasta with plenty of creamy sauce, tender grilled chicken, and button mushrooms. - Shrimp Oil Pasta (₩19,000): A refreshing oil pasta with bouncy shrimp and clams in spicy tomato oil. *Recommended for seafood lovers. - Squid Aglio e Olio (₩20,000): Pasta combining the savory flavor of squid and clams with the sharp flavor and aroma of garlic. ## I tried the fricassee and salmon eggs Benedict An overwhelming Gwangalli view, wide open before you! This is the best—Working Holiday Minrak in Minrak-dong, famous for its Gwangan Bridge view. It was one of my favorite places on my Busan trip. The food was delicious, but the Gwangalli ocean-view atmosphere was the best part. ![Gwangalli ocean view and brunch dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict-18-1helh-900.webp) ![Brunch meal at ocean-view seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict-19-1eydh-900.webp) They use fresh pasta made in-house. The pasta was nicely chewy and a little spicy. The staff told me it might be slightly spicy, and when I tried it, it was less spicy than expected—definitely manageable. The meat and mushrooms were well balanced, and the creamy sauce was delicious! The touch of spice seemed to cut through the richness nicely. It is a place that gets both the atmosphere and flavor right, so I do not think you need to worry. The salmon eggs Benedict had soft-cooked eggs that popped and flowed when I cut them with a knife. The salmon was fresh raw salmon, with no fishiness, and it was delicious. You can choose sourdough or a croissant, so I paid an extra ₩1,000 for the croissant. It was crisp and nutty when torn apart and eaten. ![Salmon eggs Benedict chosen with a croissant](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict-20-1pfds-900.webp) The joy of eating while looking at the sea...! I loved it so much! ![Brunch enjoyed while looking at the sea](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict-21-w2vq2-1200.webp) It is excellent for a Gwangalli date, with a great atmosphere, and the Gwangalli ocean view is considerably better than at other restaurants nearby. ![Brunch scene for a Gwangalli date](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict-22-191iv-900.webp) The eggs Benedict looked gorgeous, and the salmon-and-egg combination was unusual, but I liked it. For some people, it might be a tiiiny bit rich, though. The egg was very softly cooked, almost raw, so choose carefully! ![Salmon eggs Benedict with a soft-cooked egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict-23-g9tcl-900.webp) The fricassee had impressively wide, chewy noodles. The green leaves on top are Italian spinach arugula, which I love! Hahaha. ![Fricassee pasta topped with arugula](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict-24-1sdfn-900.webp) ## A place for work, dates, and gatherings Having brunch while looking at the Gwangalli view was so nice. Two women felt quite full after two main dishes. It is also good for a Gwangalli date course: I saw quite a few couples around, as well as people having a cup of coffee. I also saw lots of gatherings tasting different kinds of pizza. Since the space is large, it seems comfortable to come work on a laptop without feeling self-conscious, and there were outlets throughout. - People wanting to study alone, work on a laptop, and relax. - People looking for a Gwangalli ocean-view restaurant. - People looking for Minrak-dong pizza and Gwangalli pasta. - People who want a date with coffee and dessert, or a glass of champagne. - People who want a group gathering in a spacious, comfortable setting. The Gwangalli branch and Minrak branch are separate! ## Where it is - Working Holiday Minrak (워킹홀리데이 민락) (워킹홀리데이 민락) - 29 Millaksubeon-ro, Suyeong-gu, Busan, South Korea (부산광역시 수영구 민락수변로 29 바다마루 7층) - 부산광역시 수영구 민락수변로 29 바다마루 7층 - 35.1533383, 129.1246406 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9B%8C%ED%82%B9%ED%99%80%EB%A6%AC%EB%8D%B0%EC%9D%B4%20%EB%AF%BC%EB%9D%BD/@35.1533383,129.1246406,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@busan-cork-evening/gwangalli-brunch-fricassee-eggs-benedict/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
