Busan

Busan is a cinematic landscape where towering mountains collide with a restless industrial harbour. It’s where the grit of the East Sea port meets the glitz of the International Film Festival (BIFF), harbouring a culinary world of street eats and recipes that have survived for generations. When it comes to food, while Seoul is a K-drama, Busan is a blockbuster. Our feasting tour of 10+ tastings invites guests on a culinary experience around Busan, led by our team of professional foodie guides. Before we get started, our tour reflects the local cuisine and the limitations of street food vendors means we unfortunately cannot cater for every dietary restriction. Here's an honest appraisal for the tour so no-one is disappointed: ✖️ Vegetarians have 3-4 less tastings due to limited alternatives at some vendors. ✖️ Unsuitable for severe allergies, halal or celiac diets, due to risk of traces and cross-contamination. If you are feeling adventurous for a foodie journey, read on!

BIFF Square

At BIFF Square, watch the precision of vendors wrapping plump mandu pork dumplings before they are steamed to a silken finish. In this city, umami-laden eomuk fish cake skewers are legendary; a visit to the small museum reveals the iron-willed spirit of port workers and post-war refugees. Explore humble family hole-in-the-wall eateries, that that have anchored this local community for decades.

Jagalchi Market

Don’t miss world-famous Jagalchi Market*, and photograph the colourful sci-fi display of marine life; writhing spoon worms and octopuses, with crates of shimmering hairtail fish. Later, seek out the food hero ajummas for a bowl of kalguksu, a knife point ballet as dough is sliced into thick tangles of noodle soup. We’d rather not spoil the surprises, but a sneak peek of our 10+ tastings include some firm favourites.

Bupyeong Kkangtong Market

Weave into the labyrinthine "Tin Can Alley" of Bupyeong Kkangtong Market, once a smuggling haven for American canned goods. Tackle the iconic tteokbokki, red chewy rice cakes bathed in a gochujang red glaze. Sit for dwaeji gukbap, a bone-deep pork rice broth, followed by gimbap where rice is rolled tightly with succulent pork belly. Our evening tour edition features old-fashioned Korean fried chicken, golden and twice-crisped for maximum crunch. Your guide will show you the "soju bomb" cocktail mixing ritual, a blend of beer and Korean spirits. Burn off the adrenaline with a classic Korean "King of Hammer" activity - a local rite of passage for a definitive night out in Busan.

Busan

The credits can tell you that this is the ultimate crash course in the dishes beloved by locals in Busan.

Busan Bites Food Tour - Busan

An excellent experience for discovering South Korean gastronomy, with a particular focus on the local food culture of Busan. The tour offered a great variety of dishes but also drinks, and dessert, making it a fantastic way to explore the city through its food. Our guide, Alex, was very friendly, attentive to everyone's needs, and clearly very knowledgeable about Korean gastronomy. He made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, a great food tour that I would definitely recommend to anyone ...read more

Amazing Food Tour in Busan

We had a really amazing experience with our Busan food tour. We spend around 4 hours with Alex as our guide showing us around the real ans authentic cool spots in Busan. The food selection was spot on and perfect for an introduction to the local cuisine. We had around 10 different food experiences covering all kind of starters, mains and desserts. Alex was an amazing guide with lots of knowledge and always ready to explain things about the local cuisine. The tour covers central and relevant...read more

Great Food Tour!

Guillame was a great guide. We sampled a number of tasty items, including Korean Fried Chicken and pork rice soup. He took good care of me and we enjoyed a pleasant conversation. I would recommend this tour.

We loved this tour! We...

We loved this tour! We enjoyed a good mix of authentic, palatable Korean favorites along with some more adventurous options. It was nice to be able to walk around Busan’s BIFF district and try some hole in the wall type places that we would not have gone to otherwise. Our guide told us a lot of information about the city and Korean culture that we wouldn’t have known otherwise as well. He even took us by a temple that was in the neighborhood. The portions were very large and the tour could easil...read more

Great tour.

Guillaume is an excellent tour guide-engaging, dung to hang out with, knows great food places. ‘Bites’ of food is misleading-every dish was like a full meal. And all of them were delicious. As an added benefit we got lots of steps in.
