Gwangalli café with 4-hour parking validation: Working Holiday Minrak

In short

Working Holiday Minrak is a panoramic oceanview brunch café on the 7th floor of the Badamaru building, at the end of Minrak Hoe Center Street in Suyeong, Busan. Driving out for the day, I had the house-made jambon eggs Benedict while looking straight at Gwangalli Beach and Gwangan Bridge, and the basement lot behind the building validated 1 hour of parking per 10,000 won spent, up to 4 hours. Working Holiday Minrak is a good pick for a day when you want the view and easy parking at once.

I drove out toward the Gwangalli coast wanting to relax with a view that would really clear my head. While searching for where to go, I heard about a Gwangalli brunch café at the end of Minrak Hoe Center Street famous for its panoramic oceanview, so I checked it out.

How does the jambon eggs Benedict taste?

What I ordered that day at Working Holiday Minrak was the 'jambon eggs Benedict.' Chewy sourdough piled generously with house-made jambon (ham) — the quality was really good.

The combination of salty jambon and savory egg was really appealing.

And I want to stress — here, the view really does all the work! Eating brunch facing that wide-open sea and Gwangan Bridge head-on delivers more healing than any fancy dish ever could.

The blue sea stretching out in front of me felt like it boosted the taste of my brunch by 200%.

Besides brunch, Working Holiday Minrak is also a well-known Gwangalli pizza spot, making authentic Neapolitan pizza daily with dough fermented in-house.

It's also the perfect spot to enjoy a fragrant cup of specialty coffee with that beautiful scenery, so next time I'd love to come back for the pizza-and-specialty-coffee combo and take in this incredible view all over again.
