[My Busan Story] Busan, the exciting food city
"My Busan Story" is a special series by Busan's English-language newspaper, inviting foreign residents to share their unique perspectives on life in the city. From unforgettable experiences and travel episodes to small everyday joys, these stories highlight the diverse voices that make Busan feel like home. This month, we introduce the story of Myeonggi Shin from South Korea.
Busan is becoming one of Asia’s most exciting food cities, where the sea, culture, and creativity come together. Among its many restaurants, Ramsey in Gwangalli shows what modern dining in Busan can be. With a view of the ocean and Gwangalli Bridge, Ramsey offers elegant French-style courses made with local seafood and fresh seasonal ingredients.
Chef Lee Kyujin creates dishes that mix French techniques with the flavors of Busan. Each course—from light appetizers to beautifully plated main dishes—feels simple yet full of detail. The sauces are gentle and balanced, and the presentation makes every plate look like a small work of art.
The restaurant’s calm and modern atmosphere also matches the city’s image: open, stylish, and close to nature. Guests can enjoy fine dining while feeling connected to the ocean and the culture around them.
Ramsey represents how Busan’s food culture is changing. The city is no longer known only for its seafood markets or casual dishes. Now, it is home to chefs who bring new ideas to the table while keeping the city’s local spirit alive. For visitors, a meal at Ramsey is a chance to taste Busan’s growth as a true gourmet city—where tradition and modern taste meet by the sea.
