Busan Food For Koala to choose 1.

An Ga

The best meat in Busan.

The very handy expat magazine Busan Haps doesn't recommend much Korean food, but one of the local restaurants it does list is An Ga Korean barbecue. Don't be thrown off by the name -- An Ga in this instance means "comfortable home," not "don't want to go." And really, aside from the vegans in town, no one would say they don't want to eat here. Serving what's trumpeted as the best meat in town, this Korean barbecue restaurant is decorated handsomely, resembling an izakaya. 1276-1 Jung-dong, Haeundae-gu, Busan ( 1276-1; +82 51 742 7852

2.OPS

OPS has the best pain au chocolat in the world, say fans.

It's always a good morning when you start with a stop at OPS bakery. At just 5,000, the morning set, complete with toast, a fry-up, salad and coffee, is a steal, and a great way to rev up for a day of cinematic revelry. The quality of the baked goods at this adorable, sunny space is hard to beat. One Belgian resident of Busan said OPS's pain au chocolat is even better than what he can get in Brussels. 1429-6 Jwa-dong, Haeundae-gu, Busan ( 1429-6); +82 51 704 1088 3. Bawoo Seokswegui
