What kind of brunch restaurant is Vivid13?

Vivid13 is a space made and run by people who genuinely love brunch, they say. It started from the excitement they felt visiting brunch spots all over the country, and they've kept that spirit going for 8 years.

The sauces, dressings and pasta base that anchor the flavor are said to be made in-house. Even the scrambled eggs are apparently the result of careful study of egg ratio, consistency and texture, finished in a way that's uniquely Vivid13's own.

They also say their approach isn't just about a pretty plate — it's about making sure each portion is generous enough that you finish the meal feeling truly satisfied.

How does the Vivid French Toast taste?

Vivid French Toast topped with cream and fruit

The Vivid French Toast comes with golden-browned toast piled high with soft cream and colorful fruit. The plate looked so full and bright it felt like a little hotel brunch.

and the banana, sweet cream and tangy fruit worked together so well I could enjoy it comfortably all the way through. The nuts and sauce added subtle little texture shifts with every bite.

The portion was genuinely generous — closer to a hearty brunch plate than a light dessert.

Strawberry-pineapple juice and iced caffe latte

The Strawberry Pineapple Juice is a fruit juice combining strawberry and pineapple. The soft sweetness of strawberry paired with the bright tang of pineapple made it a nice match with the French toast.

The Iced Caffe Latte looked calm and pretty even before I drank it, with the bold coffee and nutty milk sitting in clean layers. Once stirred, the smooth flavor spread through and cleanly wrapped up the lingering sweetness of the French toast.

It's close to Gwangalli Beach, so it's easy to take a slow walk toward the sea after your meal. Between the generous brunch, the bright space and the relaxed pace, this Busan Gwangalli restaurant did more than fill me up — it gently lifted the mood of the whole morning.
