The writer visited with her second baby in a stroller, parked it at the window-end table, and ordered abalone risotto, rose pasta, and a brownie with vanilla ice cream. With stroller access, four baby chairs, and dessert and coffee after the meal, Riverside makes eating out with a baby easy. ## Good to know - **Name**: Riverside - **Address**: 1F, 582-44 Ilgwang-ro, Ilgwang-eup, Gijang-gun, Busan - **Hours**: 10:30–20:30 - **Break time**: Weekdays 15:00–16:00 - **Parking**: Large parking lot - **Baby chairs**: 4 - **Ordered**: Abalone risotto, rose pasta, brownie, vanilla ice cream - **Noodle choice**: Dried noodles or fresh noodles *as written by the visitor on Sep 5, 2026* ## Can you bring a stroller into Riverside in Ilgwang, Gijang? Riverside is a pasta and risotto restaurant right on the beachfront at 1F, 582-44 Ilgwang-ro, Ilgwang-eup, Gijang-gun, Busan, South Korea. It's open 10:30–20:30, with a weekday break time from 15:00 to 16:00, and there's a large parking lot. I come to Riverside in Ilgwang pretty regularly. The parking lot is big and the inside is spacious too, so it's great to visit with a baby. I've been here with my first kid before, and this time I brought my second — the space is roomy enough that a stroller fits in easily, which makes it so much easier with a baby. If you'd rather sit than keep the stroller, they also have baby chairs. ![Spacious dining hall inside Riverside in Ilgwang, Gijang](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta-01-14r43-900.webp) I visited on a beautiful day and the view was really pretty. There's ocean right in front, so sitting by the window meant we got to eat with an ocean view. The weather was so nice that after eating, I went down to the beach with my baby and husband to look around before heading home. ![Ocean view of Ilgwang seen from a window seat](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta-02-1bc0t-900.webp) ## Riverside's menu and what we ordered Riverside's signature dishes are steak, salad, pasta, risotto, and pizza. I mainly stick to pasta, risotto, and pizza. ![Riverside's pasta, risotto, and pizza menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta-03-1sbye-900.webp) There are dishes I order every single time I come, so I got them again after a while. Abalone risotto and rose pasta, plus ice cream and brownie for dessert. Since you can wrap up dessert and coffee here after the meal too, I often come here when I have plans with the baby. ![Table set with the ordered dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta-04-139bz-900.webp) ![Interior view with window table and ocean visible](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta-05-3ruf3-900.webp) What I like most is the spacious seating and the view. Definitely visit when the weather's nice ✨️ ![Riverside's dining hall lined with spacious seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta-06-1hrxw-900.webp) ## Four baby chairs, seat spacing and stroller space at Riverside Riverside had four baby chairs. There was another family with a baby at the next table too. Once my second is old enough to sit in one, I'll get to eat sitting together with both kids. For now I'm still carrying the stroller into the restaurant haha ![Baby chair provided at the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta-07-mhyi9-900.webp) ![Seating with generous spacing between tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta-08-5dzkz-900.webp) ![The window-end table](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta-09-bedxg-900.webp) The spacing between tables is just right too. I sat at the very end table, which let me keep the stroller behind us. With a baby, there are always two things I check before going to a restaurant — can the stroller get in, and are there baby chairs — and Riverside checked both boxes. ![End-of-row space where a stroller can be placed](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta-10-10vpq-900.webp) ![Set table with the view outside the window](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta-11-c0qg7-900.webp) ## Freshly baked bread before the meal Pre-meal bread and sauce came out. It was warm and freshly baked, so genuinely delicious. If my first kid had been there, she'd have kept asking for more. Crispy and just right. The staff were super kind too, telling us to just ask if we wanted more. ![Freshly baked pre-meal bread with sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta-12-rwbnd-1200.webp) Abalone risotto, rose pasta, and pickled radish — pretty much our standard order every time we come. ![Abalone risotto, rose pasta, and pickled radish laid out](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta-13-17id8-900.webp) ## Riverside's rose pasta: dried noodles or fresh noodles? A can't-fail rose pasta. If I had to pick just one dish, I'd usually go with the rose pasta — it's delicious every time, and I end up finishing all the sauce. ![A plate of Riverside's rose pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta-14-1n4xc-900.webp) ![Rose pasta noodles well coated in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta-15-zowdd-900.webp) ![Shrimp and shiitake mushroom in the rose pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta-16-29tie-900.webp) There are two noodle options: dried noodle or fresh noodle. I've tried both, and dried noodle suits my taste better — I'm one of those people who likes a familiar taste. The sauce is delicious and mixed really well with the noodles. The seafood includes big and small shrimp, and there's a pretty strong shiitake mushroom aroma left in it. ![Dried noodle rose pasta lifted on a fork](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta-17-1gg0a-900.webp) ## Abalone risotto, easy to share with a baby Abalone risotto. There are huge chunks of abalone on top of the risotto. It has a nice chewy bite to it. ![Abalone risotto topped with large chunks of abalone](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta-18-163xz-900.webp) ![Creamy abalone risotto sprinkled with parsley](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta-19-d2j7a-900.webp) Yum, it's got parsley sprinkled on top too, which is nice. If my first kid had been with us, she'd have eaten it right up. If you ask me for a Riverside dish to eat with a baby, I'd say abalone risotto! My baby loves abalone and also loves creamy risotto, so it's perfect. ![A spoonful of abalone risotto scooped up](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta-20-aydw6-900.webp) ## Warm brownie with vanilla ice cream for dessert It felt like a waste to head straight home after the meal, so we ordered dessert too — brownie and vanilla ice cream. ![Brownie and vanilla ice cream dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta-21-1tsot-900.webp) The brownie comes out still warm, and one bite in, I was like, wow — this pairs so well with the ice cream, glad we ordered it. Even without the ice cream, it'd be just as good with coffee. The chocolate combo is fantastic... ![Vanilla ice cream topped with granola](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta/gijang-ilgwang-riverside-stroller-rose-pasta-22-9qqbe-900.webp) There's a bit of granola on top of the ice cream too, which adds some crunch and makes it extra good.
