Ganppa Beer Gwangalli 2 is a standing bar in Suyeong, Busan, serving draft beer and simple snacks. On a second round of drinks with a friend, we had a 25,900-won Sapporo draft beer and fried chicken skin set, plus extra dumplings and photo spots. Ganppa Beer Gwangalli 2 is a great relaxed stop for a light second round.
Café Buajang is a renovated-house café in Millak-dong, Suyeong, Busan. During a Gwangalli trip, I tried chestnut tiramisu, an Americano, and royal milk tea amid greenery, window light, handmade furniture, and crochet sculptures. Verdict: a spacious, charming stop for coffee and chestnut tiramisu.
Jukrim Sutbul Dwaeji Gui is a charcoal-grilled pork restaurant in Gwangalli, Suyeong, Busan. I had pork neck, pork belly, kimchi noodle soup, and steamed egg, all while the staff handled the grilling. Verdict: a filling, easygoing Korean BBQ meal with excellent sides.
Moknal is a Korean bar in Suyeong, Busan, with wide-window views of Gwangan Bridge. After having dumplings, we ordered boneless chicken feet and soy sauce egg rice, and their smoky pairing was especially good. Moknal is a lovely second-stop spot for Gwanganri night views after dinner.
Yeongdong Milmyeon & Dwaeji Gukbap Busan Station Branch is a Korean restaurant in Dong-gu, Busan, directly outside Busan Station Exit 6. I had suyuk baekban, mul milmyeon, and pork dumplings, with roomy seating and space for suitcases. Verdict: an easy, filling stop before or after a trip.
Famous Benny Gwangalli Branch is an indoor dog-friendly Australian-style brunch café in Gwangalli, Suyeong, Busan. I tried Bacon The Famous Benny, an acai bowl, kabocha squash soup, and ₩8,000 drip coffee made with El beans in its spacious second-floor seating area. Verdict: a lovely pick for an early Gwangalli brunch and seriously good coffee.
