Recently, an alley named “Haridan-gil†has sprung up behind Haeundae Station on the old Donghae Nambu Line, with cafes and restaurants with a youthful personality. Word of mouth spread on social media, caught the attention of tourists, and became another attraction in Haeundae. We've collected everything from European cuisines that will add to the perfection of your vacation to places that are emerging as new hot spots! Let's go to Haeundae, where the warm sun and blue sea invite you right away!

'Nick's Grill' is a European cuisine located in the new building of Haeundae Paradise Hotel. The window seat where you can enjoy a meal while looking out at the blue sea that spreads out through the glass is very popular regardless of the season. Following the brunch, which was newly launched last year and received a great response, this time we are introducing a new dinner menu called “Ensemble†with a reasonable price. The ensemble menu includes a steak or pasta main dish, a side menu using seasonal ingredients, and a salad at an unbeatable price. A brunch menu has also been added to match the spring season. The “Maesangi Risotto with Mushrooms,†which is based on maesaengi and generously incorporates seafood such as mussels and hachi to capture the rich flavor of the sea, is representative. The point is that sesame oil brought out the aroma even more. In addition to the best-selling “French toast†and “hamburger gratin†at lunchtime, they also have dessert menus such as cakes.

“Taree Restaurant†is a pasta specialty restaurant near Haeundae Station Exit 4. It was reopened in Jwa-dong to its current location in September last year, adding a stylish interior. The signature menu, “Shrimp Pasta,†puts arugula and plump shrimp on top of spaghetti noodles mixed with rich cream sauce. The rich cream sauce is soaked between the noodles, and the rich aroma that fills your mouth every time you chew is exquisite. “Pizza pie,†which is baked with plenty of Italian sausage and pepperoni on a thick pizza dough, is also a popular menu. The store signs are not easily visible, so I recommend checking the exterior of the building when visiting.
