After Sunday service, a couple shared window-side seats upstairs with Egg in Hell (shakshuka), the salmon version of The Famous Benny, matcha lemonade, and mango coconut gelato, with portions generous enough for two. A relaxed pick for a date brunch or a post-jog meal. ## Good to know - **Hours**: 08:00 - 18:00 - **Parking**: Nearby public lots — Minrak Sealand Market public parking, Taeyang Officetel parking - **Dogs**: Dog-friendly - **Ordered**: Egg in Hell (shakshuka), The Famous Benny (salmon), matcha lemonade, mango coconut gelato - **Layout**: 1st and 2nd floors / window seats upstairs *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* ## After Sunday service, a craving for brunch After Sunday service, there's always that moment of wondering what to eat for lunch. A bowl of rice with banchan or gukbap is fine as usual, but sometimes you want to sit somewhere with a nice atmosphere and eat like it's a date. That's exactly how we felt this time, so we headed to a brunch café in Gwangalli we'd had our eye on for a while — Famous Benny. ![Exterior of Famous Benny, a brunch café in Gwangalli](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-sunday-date-famous-benny/gwangalli-brunch-sunday-date-famous-benny-01-13lis-966.webp) ## Opens at 8am — great for a post-jog visit too One of the best things about this place is that it opens at 8am. Most people assume brunch cafés only open late morning or around lunchtime, so a place running this early felt a lot more useful. After our visit, we even said, "Next time we should go for a jog in the morning, cool off, and come here for brunch." If you're after brunch in Gwangalli, Busan, it's worth taking advantage of the early hours. > Famous Benny Gwangalli Branch / 📍Hours: 08:00 - 18:00 / 🅿️ Nearby parking — Minrak Sealand Market public parking, Taeyang Officetel parking / 🚨 Dog-friendly ## Natural light through the window wall, a relaxed mood The café is spread across two floors, and as soon as we walked up, the natural light pouring through the window wall was striking. We got lucky and landed a seat right in front of it — talking with that soft sunlight coming in definitely made for a different mood. The whole space felt relaxed and calm, easy to sit and chat in without any pressure, which made it a comfortable spot for a date. ![Window seating with natural light on the 2nd floor of Famous Benny](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-sunday-date-famous-benny/gwangalli-brunch-sunday-date-famous-benny-02-gwsbo-966.webp) ![Interior atmosphere of Famous Benny's 2nd floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-sunday-date-famous-benny/gwangalli-brunch-sunday-date-famous-benny-03-j2q5j-966.webp) ![View of tables and chairs in front of the window wall](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-sunday-date-famous-benny/gwangalli-brunch-sunday-date-famous-benny-04-15tvv-966.webp) ![Calm-toned seating on the 2nd floor of the brunch café](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-sunday-date-famous-benny/gwangalli-brunch-sunday-date-famous-benny-05-1ix26-966.webp) ![Table setting at a window seat at Famous Benny](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-sunday-date-famous-benny/gwangalli-brunch-sunday-date-famous-benny-06-14c0b-966.webp) ![Sunlit interior of the brunch café](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-sunday-date-famous-benny/gwangalli-brunch-sunday-date-famous-benny-07-mb5us-966.webp) ## Four orders, signature dish with salmon ![Table set with all four ordered brunch dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-sunday-date-famous-benny/gwangalli-brunch-sunday-date-famous-benny-08-dfu33-966.webp) We ordered four things in total: Egg in Hell (shakshuka), The Famous Benny, matcha lemonade, and mango coconut gelato. The Famous Benny lets you choose bacon or salmon, and we went with salmon. As the signature dish — salmon, avocado, and a poached egg on a croissant — it looked satisfying from the first glance. The portion was generous enough for two to share, and the vegetables on the side made it feel like a meal that took care of us too. This is exactly why I'd recommend this Gwangalli brunch café as a date spot. ![The Famous Benny topped with salmon, avocado, and poached egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-sunday-date-famous-benny/gwangalli-brunch-sunday-date-famous-benny-09-b0tif-1200.webp) ## Hearty rather than spicy: Egg in Hell (shakshuka) ![Egg in Hell shakshuka with tomato sauce and egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-sunday-date-famous-benny/gwangalli-brunch-sunday-date-famous-benny-10-gjtqy-900.webp) The first dish we ordered was Egg in Hell, commonly known as shakshuka. The name alone makes you expect something spicy and intense, but shakshuka is really a tomato-based sauce cooked together with eggs — despite the word "hell" in the name, it's less about heat and more about the deep savoriness of tomato paired with softly cooked egg, closer to a hearty brunch dish. ![A plate of shakshuka served with bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-sunday-date-famous-benny/gwangalli-brunch-sunday-date-famous-benny-11-1ai3l-966.webp) ![Dipping bread into the shakshuka sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-sunday-date-famous-benny/gwangalli-brunch-sunday-date-famous-benny-12-19nff-966.webp) It comes with bread perfect for dipping into the sauce, so it filled us up nicely for a meal that doubled as breakfast and lunch. If you're expecting something spicy, it might come as a small surprise, but if you want a comfortable brunch, it's actually a satisfying choice. ## Signature Famous Benny: salmon and poached egg on croissant ![The signature Famous Benny plated with the salmon option](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-sunday-date-famous-benny/gwangalli-brunch-sunday-date-famous-benny-13-1z0j9-966.webp) The second dish we ordered was the café's signature, The Famous Benny. You can choose between bacon and salmon, and we went with salmon. ![Close-up of salmon and poached egg on the croissant](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-sunday-date-famous-benny/gwangalli-brunch-sunday-date-famous-benny-14-10sf2-966.webp) ![A plate of salmon Benny served with vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-sunday-date-famous-benny/gwangalli-brunch-sunday-date-famous-benny-15-t5ntu-966.webp) With salmon, avocado, and a poached egg on top of a croissant, you get the crunch of the croissant, the softness of the poached egg, and the salty salmon all in one bite — you can see why this became the signature. The portion was generous enough for two to share, and it came with vegetables on the side, which made it feel like a meal that looked out for our health too. That's exactly why I'd recommend this Gwangalli brunch café as a date spot. ## Gelato made with real mango, and a refreshing ade We didn't order coffee separately, but the matcha lemonade and mango coconut gelato were satisfying enough on their own. The mango coconut gelato especially had a natural sweetness and mango flavor so vivid you could tell it was made with real mango. ![Mango coconut gelato dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-sunday-date-famous-benny/gwangalli-brunch-sunday-date-famous-benny-16-1um2o-966.webp) ![A glass of matcha lemonade](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-sunday-date-famous-benny/gwangalli-brunch-sunday-date-famous-benny-17-1tmat-966.webp) The matcha lemonade balanced matcha's gentle bitterness with lemon's tartness, cleansing the palate nicely between the heavier brunch dishes. Still, partway through, I thought, "These brunch dishes would've been even better with coffee," so next time I'm making sure to order coffee too. ![Table with brunch dishes and drinks together](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-brunch-sunday-date-famous-benny/gwangalli-brunch-sunday-date-famous-benny-18-9i3mv-966.webp) ## Next time, brunch after a morning jog After this visit, I found myself thinking that a weekend morning jog followed by a light brunch here, then heading home to shower, would make a great routine. Adding a hearty meal to a body refreshed from exercise would make the whole day feel that much fuller. It was a Gwangalli brunch café that works just as well for a date as it does for a relaxed weekend routine. ## Where it is - Famous Benny Gwangalli Branch (페이머스 베니 광안리점) - 64 Minrakbondong-ro 11beon-gil, Suyeong-gu, Busan, South Korea, 1st and 2nd floors - 부산광역시 수영구 민락본동로11번길 64 1, 2층 - 35.1570697, 129.125136 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%8E%98%EC%9D%B4%EB%A8%B8%EC%8A%A4%20%EB%B2%A0%EB%8B%88%20%EA%B4%91%EC%95%88%EB%A6%AC%EC%A0%90/@35.1570697,129.125136,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@namcheon-noon-slip/gwangalli-brunch-sunday-date-famous-benny/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
