How I'd walk Seomyeon · Jeonpo
Jay · lives in Korea · How I choose places
lunch into the afternoon
A short one, built around lunch: the Seomyeon alley where Busan's gukbap lives, then a few blocks east into Jeonpo's old hardware streets for one shop and a coffee. Come around noon and eat first: BALANSA doesn't open until twelve.
One person's route, in the order I'd walk it. No photos, no rankings.
Open this walk in the guide →1. Lunch on the alley
Ogyeop-gukbap (with skin-on pork belly) at Suyeong Bonga or pork gukbap at Pohang Dwaeji Gukbap, both open 24 hours; or cold milmyeon across the way at Seomyeon Gaegeum.
2. BALANSA
BALANSA's own tees and caps, and imported labels on the other racks; from noon.
3. Coffee, your pick
A seasonal parfait and coffee at Neualt (closed Mondays), or Hytte's Jeonpo room upstairs, my favorite coffee in Busan.
From here Gwangalli is a short taxi east, for the beach and dinner.
