Smith's Farm location, parking and opening hours

Smith's Farm, my go-to recommended date restaurant for Western food in Haeundae, is located at 31 Haeundae-ro 483beon-gagil, Haeundae-gu, Busan, a 5-minute walk from Dongbaek Station Exit 4.

For parking, just pull into the lots marked 'watch for exiting cars' on either side of the building. Note that the lot to the right of the entrance has a curb bump, so go in slowly!

They're open 11:00-22:00 with no break time, so you can enjoy brunch, lunch, and dinner all deliciously here.

What are the interior and seating like at Smith's Farm?

The inside of Smith's Farm, my recommended Haeundae date restaurant, has that warm yet cozy atmosphere unique to the place, and it's totally my style.

Sofa seats and table seats are nicely mixed together, so you can sit based on your group size and preference.

There are cute little objects scattered around too, so it's great for photos.

First time at Smith's Farm? Order these dishes

Octopus steak ₩29,800 / pumpkin sweet potato gnocchi ₩23,800 / napa cabbage salad ₩16,800

Honestly this is one of my all-time favorite restaurants, one I think of every time I visit my parents haha. Everything's good, but if it's your first time, you have to try those dishes!

Four dishes for two, plus an extra order mid-diet

These are dishes that never disappoint, no matter how many times I've had them.

We loved it so much here that the two of us ordered a whopping four dishes haha. Santa Garden Ade, octopus steak, pumpkin sweet potato gnocchi, and even shrimp oil pasta!

Isn't the visual just insane?

There must be a vegetable-grilling master back there...

With grilling this good, I could eat it every single meal, three times a day. Something this pretty just tastes even better.

The gnocchi and oil pasta are amazing too, right?

Actually I wasn't planning to order the oil pasta (yes, shameless, since I'm on a diet). It was so delicious my appetite came right back and I ended up adding it on.

The visuals were insane, and the taste was insane too. I've recommended it to a bunch of friends and it's been a hit every time.

The complimentary banana brulee at Smith's Farm

Maybe it was because we ate so well, or maybe they remembered us from the time we came two days in a row... but the kind staff gave us a complimentary dessert, and this banana brulee was legendary too — so good I think I'll just pay for it next time.

What more could you want after a meal like this, with dessert and drinks too? This was Smith's Farm, my strong recommendation for a Haeundae date restaurant, a Haeundae special-occasion restaurant (though honestly, go even without one).
