Noran Mahura

Top choice in Busan


This cosy restaurant, not far from a lighthouse, is where people come for a drink to watch the sunset and unexpectedly stay for the sunrise. Meals include barbecued shellfish (조개구이; jogae gui) with an amazing salsa-like sauce. It tastes even better with soju (local vodka) at sunrise.
