Bueokgan Restaurant, Shinsegae Simon Busan Premium Outlets is a Western restaurant tucked into the innermost end of NORTH 1F at the Gijang outlet in Busan, right beside the UGG store.

The smoky, savoury shrimp anchovy oil pasta was the clear favourite at Bueokgan — the one dish worth ordering again on a repeat visit.

Haeundae kiosk-order restaurant with wood-tone window seats: Bueokgan

Bueokgan Haeundae Branch is a European restaurant on the second floor of a building on Dalmaji-gil in Haeundae, Busan, in front of Hillstate Weve. Of the three seating concepts, we took a wood-tone window seat and used the kiosk to order the couple's dish set — pumpkin soup, garden salad, shrimp rosé pasta, basil margherita pizza, orange juice and lemonade — dipping the chewy pizza dough into the soup and rosé sauce until nothing was left. With mild, unfussy Western food, a spacious hall and its own car park, Bueokgan Haeundae suits both dates and family meals.
