Busan City has released the 23rd edition of “Taste of Busan,” an annual showcase of the city’s favorite restaurants, bakeries and cafes. The free guidebook is available in Korean, English, Chinese and Japanese.
The 2025 edition features 150 restaurants, six more than last year. Each entry includes photos, menu highlights and other essential information. The guidebook also contains interviews with renowned local chefs, who share their insights on the local food scene and their culinary philosophies. More than just a list of restaurants, “Taste of Busan” introduces the origins and unique aspects of 13 local dishes, such as Dongnae pajeon (seafood and green onion pancake), milmyeon (cold wheat noodles), and dwaeji gukbap (pork soup and rice). It also highlights the best restaurants serving these traditional dishes, inviting readers to explore the rich world of local gourmet experiences.
Notably, this edition introduces QR codes that link to multilingual menus at 50 restaurants. Since last year, Busan City has initiated the Multilingual Digital Menu Project to help local restaurants provide menus in multiple languages, thereby enhancing the convenience of international visitors. The menus are available in English, Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese), Japanese, Vietnamese, Russian and Arabic.
“Taste of Busan 2025” is available online via the Visit Busan tourism portal, while physical copies can be picked up for free at tourist information centers, select restaurants, consulates, the Busan Tourism Organization and relevant district offices. Additionally, starting in mid-April, Busan City will distribute pocket-sized maps indicating the location of the restaurants featured in “Taste of Busan” at tourist information centers.
