Grilled beef tripe for two in Seomyeon, Busan: Taepung Gopchang

Taepung Gopchang is a Korean beef gopchang (tripe) and daechang (large intestine) grill restaurant in Seomyeon, Busan, a 5-minute walk from Seomyeon Station Exit 8. On a weekday 5:30pm reservation for two, the assorted gopchang set for two cost 36,000 won and the Korean beef gopchang hot pot 16,000 won, with the heart, tripe and large intestine arriving already grilled and the hot pot packed with glass noodles and gopchang. The fried rice had to be canceled because the kitchen was backed up, but Taepung Gopchang still makes a solid pick for a group dinner in Seomyeon.

Gwangalli wood-fired pizza and easy weekday parking: Extra Mile

Extra Mile is a wood-fired pizza restaurant in Suyeong, Busan, a 5-minute walk from Suyeong Station near Gwangalli Beach. Arriving for two just before 6pm on a weekday, the writer ordered the Classic Combo Set for two at 42,000 won — a half-and-half hot honey pepperoni and birria pizza with bisque cream pasta — and Extra Mile filled every seat the moment they sat down. For drivers, Suyeong Underground Parking Lot is cheap and rarely full, making Extra Mile an easy Gwangalli date dinner.
