Excellent set menu

Please make a reservation for this place, I saw three people sent away when I was having lunch! This place serves excellent, tasty food where 'Western' and Korean styles meet. The cheesecakes are heaven.

Surprisingly yummy dishes!

Firstly, please note opening hours.
Not sure what time it is opened but it has break af 3 pm and reopens at 5pm.

Reservations required.

Dishes without garlic onion limited. Glad they were really tasty and exceeded my expectations! A pity their pasta sauce is onion based.

Staffs are very friendly and allowed us to order for takeaway.

Definitely worth a visit if in Busan!

Luxurious place

This restaurant is a fancy one. The place where people go with friends to celebrate, not to eat a big dinner when they are hungry. It's not the cheapest but definitely worth it. I order an appetiser, pasta and a dessert. All three dishes were delicious. I forgot to take the picture of pasta 🙈

Nice Fine-dining Style Place

A very nice place, the food was so tasty and the setting really nice. It’s a more fine dining typ of place so it’s a bit more expensive than other places, I payed 45k for a 1 person set-meal but the food is great and I was so full walking away from there 😍

Nice place

Only had time to stop in for a quick lunch, but it left a really positive impression. The venue is lovely, the staff were genuinely friendly, and the menu had plenty of interesting options.

Amazing food and atmosphere

The menu contains nice choices of very special and delicious dishes. Everything we took was amazing (maybe besides the ice cream dessert, which was only good). I went with my carnivore friend and he enjoyed it very much as well, was surprised that it was that good.

Pros: Nice atmosphere, Highest quality dishes, Beautiful plating

Cons: Ice cream wasn't amazing

Feeling fancy in Yeongdu

Calm setting. Stylish. Minimalistic. I liked the interior.
Ordered a menu for two and we got various dishes. A clash of various flavours. The starters dish was very good, but the main dish was mildly disappointing. Dessert was decent.

Prices fair.

Not Living Up To Expecations

Since the restaurant wants to provide higher experiences with their fusion food, our expectations were set accordingly. We opted for a menu for two. We started off great with a delicious panipuri and hummus. Our mains, chamnamul pasta and green curry were tasty but we missed an original taste. They were good and the portions filling but we expected more interesting flavours. They did not have the croffle so we had the pistachio mousse which was excellent. We were not fond of our drinks, lemon and peach lime. If it wasn't for the aspirations the restaurant has, it would be full stars. The bathroom reflects this somewhat, having fancy design but missing toilet paper.

Tasty in Busan

I came across this place using the HappyCow app with high recommendations and I now understand why.
I enjoyed the light tea they provided upon sitting. My friend and I shared the vegan burger and chamnamul pasta. It was the most impressive meal I’ve had as a long time vegetarian/vegan. I will be thinking about this place for a long time. If you are in Busan and want a nice place to dine, please do not overlook this restaurant.

To eat here, you should make a reservation, which my friend and I did not know. The kind staff counted their seating and put us on a waitlist to eat an hour before they closed. Pricing was very reasonable.

Extraordinary vegan

Fantastic! Delicious food, relaxed atmosphere, great service! I rarely eat pasta at the restaurant, because I already eat plenty at home, but decided to take a break from the kimchi and... oh boy! Beautifully balanced and delicate flavours from the mushrooms and pesto sauce, perfectly al dente pasta, lovely presentation. The entree was delicious too, again with balance and texture. Thank you for the meal, I really enjoyed it!

Pros: Food, Atmosphere, Service

Cons: Location

Le salé était bien

Des plats salés bien maîtrisés. Par contre le sucré (tant les desserts que boissons) sont 100x trop sucrés, dommage car c'est très esthétique.

Pas compris non plus pour un restaurant de ce ''standing'' que les serviettes et eau soient posées à l'entrée du restaurant pas vraiment visibles.

Pros: Plats salés, Décoration intérieure

Cons: Desserts et boissons trop sucrées, Rapport qualité-prix décevant

ARP - 아르프

Venue
A mix of neutral tones, black wood and the odd bit of stainless steel. It definitely captures the feel it’s going for. Make sure you make a reservation via catchtable before you arrive!

Service
I was welcomed warmly and quickly shown to my table. Water and a menu QR code was provided with the instruction to call over the waiter when I was ready to order.

Food
Appetiser, main, dessert, drink = A+
A fine dining experience without the tiny portions. Probably overdid it a bit with the appetiser, main and dessert to myself but oh well.

Price
Not a fine dining price tag! Prices are listed on the online menu so I won’t go into it here but I’m more than happy.

Great food 8/10

They really know how to make tasty food here and have a decent amount of options, fufils that sort of western food that's vegan which you might miss when in Korea.

Not suitable for vegetarian that don't take 5 alliums

Came all the way but was informed they are unable to provide any dishes that's without 5 allium. The chef not interested to entertain any requests for customisation though the waitress tried asking. Disappointed! 😞

Cons: Cannot customise to dishes without onion / garlic

Worth it

I don't go to Yeongdo much often but having lunch there before heading towards 태종대 is a good idea. We had a burger each and shared the 참나물 pasta. We were full with good food, well it's worth it!

Delightful fine dining!

From the ultra chic decor and classy tunes playing, you feel like a million bucks when you walk in the door but at the same time, arp is not pretentious. It’s quite friendly and welcoming. I had the Napa cabbage, burger and a glass of rice wine.

The napa cabbage was phenomenal and probably my favorite! The vegetable is succulent and cooked with some crunchy nuts and topped with delicate vegan cheese that melts in your mouth.

The dookin burger had a juicy, satisfyingly hearty tofu patty with an appealing crust which paired swimmingly with the tartar sauce and veggies. You get some tasty sticks of fried asparagus served with your burger!

The rice wine was a unique pairing that was served in modern glass that was pleasant and sweet.

The food was not just beautiful and instagrammable, but also delicious and prepared with passion and skill. My meal was like a work of art, Zi almost felt guilty eating it!

I would suggest offering a physical menu because the QR code phone menu was a little finicky.

arp is a unique and delectable classy gastro experience that shows even vegans can enjoy fine dining. You must check it out if you visit Busan!

Pros: Artistic, beautiful food and restaurant, Friendly owner, not pretentious , Delicious unique taste
