I got to spend a wonderful time catching up with my walking mentor, David Lee, over a good lunch after not seeing him for a long while. We've kept in touch talking about walking and health, so meeting him again in person after so long felt really special.

I thought about where to eat and landed on Bueokgan Haeundae Branch, on Dalmaji-gil in Haeundae. Good food matters, but so does having a comfortable space to talk with someone you haven't seen in a while. With the atmosphere of Dalmaji-gil and its classic European interior, Bueokgan felt like the right place to take our time over lunch.

## A long-awaited lunch with my walking mentor

A meal with someone you haven't seen in a long time means more than just the food. David Lee and I have kept our connection alive through a shared interest in walking and health, and this was our first time meeting again in quite a while.

*Only the back view is shown.*

He was in Busan briefly on a trip from Seoul, and I practically begged him to make time to meet. Seeing him face to face after so long, we caught up on how we'd both been, and naturally moved on to talking about walking and exercise.

Walking might look like a solitary activity, but walking with the right person turns into conversation, and conversation builds into a relationship. This time, instead of walking, we shared a good lunch and talked at ease. Eating with someone good makes the food taste even better, somehow.

## Where is Bueokgan Haeundae Branch?

Bueokgan Haeundae Branch is a European restaurant located on Dalmaji-gil in Haeundae. It occupies the 2nd floor of a building up on Dalmaji Pass.

*Bueokgan Haeundae Branch.*

The 1st floor houses Bueokgan Chinese, a Chinese restaurant, and Bueokgan Bakery, a European bakery, while the 2nd floor is home to the European restaurant Bueokgan.

Head up the uphill road past Dongbaek Elementary School, and you'll find it in the building where the old Sansutang bathhouse used to stand, in front of Hillstate Weave. On the right side of the building, toward Hyunwoo Sanho Mansion, there's a stairway leading up to the Bueokgan entrance. Parking is available in the lot next to Bueokgan Bakery or in the lot behind the building.

## Inside the 2nd floor: a British vintage hotel look

At Bueokgan Haeundae Branch, exploring the space is half the fun, not just the meal. It's designed around the concept of a British vintage classic hotel.

The space blends classic and casual vibes, with vintage furniture and hotel-like props placed throughout.

Bueokgan's signature semicircular tables combined with the view through the back windows make the space feel wider and more open. Even the walk up the 2nd-floor stairs and through the double doors into the restaurant gives a slightly different feel from an ordinary restaurant.

It's also worth noting that the vintage furniture and props were directly imported from the UK, France, Italy, and elsewhere. This is a place where the fun of taking in the space starts before you've even eaten.

## What comes in the 51,000-won Bueokgan couple set

What we ordered at Bueokgan Haeundae Branch was the ₩51,000 Bueokgan Couple Set. It's a good option for two people to share, letting you try a variety of dishes at once — soup, salad, pilaf, and pizza.

- 🎃 Pumpkin soup
- 🥗 Garden salad
- 🍗 Kungpao chicken pilaf
- 🍕 Pepperoni pizza
- 🍊 Single grapefruit

Chatting away with David, whom I hadn't seen in so long, even the wait for the food was enjoyable.

### 🍗 Kungpao chicken pilaf

![A plate of Bueokgan's kungpao chicken pilaf](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-dalmaji-reunion-lunch-bueokgan/haeundae-dalmaji-reunion-lunch-bueokgan-10-yyiee-900.webp)

The kungpao pilaf had a spicy yet savory flavor that really pulled you in. The first bite gives you the nutty savoriness typical of fried rice, followed by a subtle spiciness and umami.

![Close-up of the fluffy kungpao chicken pilaf](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-dalmaji-reunion-lunch-bueokgan/haeundae-dalmaji-reunion-lunch-bueokgan-11-18v0w-900.webp)

It wasn't just spicy — the flavor of the fried rice itself came through alongside the seasoning, making it satisfying as a full meal. The rice grains weren't mushy at all, staying fairly fluffy with a nice bite to them.

Especially after eating pizza, going back to the kungpao pilaf woke my mouth right back up with that spicy kick. If you like both savory and spicy flavors, this dish is likely to satisfy. The portion was hearty enough to work as a proper lunch on its own.

### 🎃 Sweet pumpkin soup

![A bowl of Bueokgan's pumpkin soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-dalmaji-reunion-lunch-bueokgan/haeundae-dalmaji-reunion-lunch-bueokgan-12-qtds5-900.webp)

This soup leads with the pumpkin's gentle sweetness and soft flavor. The texture is smooth and creamy, dissolving pleasantly in your mouth, and it's not overly rich, making it an easy starter. The sweetness wasn't overdone, and it felt like a warm, comforting way to open the meal.

### 🥗 Garden salad

![A plate of Bueokgan's garden salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-dalmaji-reunion-lunch-bueokgan/haeundae-dalmaji-reunion-lunch-bueokgan-13-upyjm-899.webp)

The salad had a lively crunch and freshness from the vegetables. Paired between the soft soup and the pizza, it worked well to cleanse the palate.

Thanks to the freshness of the vegetables, the whole meal felt lighter overall.

### 🍕 Pepperoni pizza

The pizza came out piping hot, and the combination of savory cheese and salty pepperoni was the highlight.

![Holding up a slice of pepperoni pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/haeundae-dalmaji-reunion-lunch-bueokgan/haeundae-dalmaji-reunion-lunch-bueokgan-16-g8qkj-900.webp)

The plain, clean flavor of the dough paired with the pepperoni's richness made it a slice-after-slice kind of pizza.

The melted cheese parts especially had a rich, savory flavor, and eating it alongside the salad cut the richness while making it even more enjoyable.

To sum it up: 🎃 soft, sweet soup → 🥗 fresh, crunchy salad → 🍕 savory, salty pizza → 🍗 kungpao chicken pilaf — the couple set had a natural flow of flavors from start to finish.

## Why Bueokgan is worth it for brunch in Haeundae

Bueokgan Haeundae Branch felt like exactly the kind of place you want when you're after good food, a good atmosphere, and good conversation all at once. That day, meeting my walking mentor David Lee after so long made the lunch feel even more meaningful.

More than anything, I felt that food shared with a good person stays in your memory even longer than the taste itself. If you're planning a brunch or lunch on Dalmaji-gil in Haeundae, Bueokgan Haeundae Branch is worth adding to your list.

## Bueokgan Haeundae Branch in three lines

- 🍽️ The ₩51,000 couple set let us try soup, salad, pizza, and pilaf all at once.
- The pumpkin soup was soft, the salad fresh, and the pepperoni pizza salty and savory.
