2 Best Restaurants in Side Trips from Busan, South Korea

Just a short walk from city hall, Dongin-dong Jjimgalbi Alley is packed with restaurants perfecting the art of braised beef short ribs, a Daegu specialty. Bongsan Jjimgalbi is considered to be one of the best of the bunch, delivering a knockout punch with bowls full of spicy goodness. If you appreciate chili and garlic, this place is for you, though the kitchen staff will happily oblige if you request that they turn down the heat.

Situated in a large, hanok-style house, this restaurant serves the hot coal-grilled hanu beef bulgogi for which Eonyang is famous. The marinated meat is tender and both sweet and savory, and the traditional surroundings only serve to add to the flavor. It's the most popular eatery in town, so be prepared to wait.
