Perfection! - Edit
Wow! Loved everything that we ordered. Based on the recommendations/reviews, we ordered one of each of the pastas, burgers, and dessert (charcoaled waffle with ice cream). Everything was perfect and flavorful. We enjoyed the tea that was served as a welcome. The staff was super friendly. Make sure to make a reservation! We weren’t able to it online as we didn’t have a local Korean number, so we called using the phone at our hotel.

Great burger, friendly staffs - Edit
I didn’t have high expectation for their burgers, but burgers were really good. I tried the vegan fish sandwich made with tofu, and it was spot on. Staffs were friendly, interior was aesthetically pleasing and the staffs were friendly.

Not to be missed while in Busan! - Edit
The food was terrific, the staff was friendly and even the dinnerware was superbly eclectic. And the prices were great.
Read moreNot to be missed for anyone - vegan or not. Take your non vegan friends to show them how vegan food can be even better than meat and dairy focused dishes.
Pros: Incredible original vegan food, Terrific friendly service, A beautiful atmosphere, including the great music
Cons: Nothing

Agreed - best pasta we've had in Korea - Edit
We read the other reviews - and promptly made a reservation through the "Find a table" link on Google Maps, which takes you to a site called Catchtable.net, which was super easy. I can see why they might be strict on taking reservations, as there is only one chef and the place is very small. We agree that the pasta is definitely the best we've had in Korea! Highly recommend, we also really enjoyed the aesthetic of the restaurant.

Great experience! - Edit
We enjoyed eating at ARP. The food was great and the staff was friendly. Generally we would recommend checking this place out when in Korea.
Read moreHowever, the biggest struggle we experienced was the reservation process. Maybe we didn't find the English site but when wanting to confirm the reservation we always got sent back to the restaurant's general site. At some point we gave up and had someone help us. Although it's quite complicated you should come with a reservation only, since the restaurant is rather small.
Some people mentioned that the food wasn't served at the same time. We experienced the same, however we shared my partners meal first and then mine, which worked out well for us.
Pros: Delicious food, Small and quiet place
Cons: Difficult reservation process

Thanks! I'm headed to Busan in a couple of weeks. Looking for the best vegan places to visit...

@intcultcom: We reserved one day before going there. So time isn't the problem. The difficulty was the language barrier. This place should definitely be on your itinerary😊

Minimalistic space - Edit
We had the bracken pasta, chamnamul pasta and the burger. Our favourite was the bracken pasta, different textures, a little bit of spice, a lot of umami. Also the beetroot ketchup you get wirh the burger is delicious. Everything is prepared in an open tiny kitchen next to the tables. The restaurant is minimalistic and very fancy which I typically don't like, but the food was extra good.

5 for food, 1 for service - Edit
I was so excited to try this place based on reviews. Got there at 12:30 to an almost empty place, they said they were booked and to come back at 1:00. We did, and the place was still empty. At this point not a big deal, but the service went downhill fast. Got ignored for the first 15 mins and they didn’t take our order. They had no desserts and only one drink as everything was already sold out. My burger came out in 15 which was great, but then we proceeded to wait 30 more minutes just for our drinks. I was eating as slow as I can but my partners meal still hadn’t arrived. 45mins after we sat down, I had completely finished my meal, then his dish arrived. Don’t get me wrong food was excellent, just staff were slow and not attentive at all. Bit of a disappointment

This was probably the best restaurant I’ve had the pleasure of visiting in Korea. The place is aesthetically pleasing, the tea was amazing, the pasta that I got was extremely tasty and the portions were good. Don’t skip the dessert! The girl who worked there was very sweet!

Fantastic food, great staff - Edit
This was a great meal! The menu is limited, but what they make, they make perfectly. We went at 4:30, but they were closed for break time. We went on their Instagram and were able to make a reservation for 5:30. It was definitely worth the wait! Everything is made to order, so dishes come out one at a time. We ended up splitting our meals so we were eating together. Do not skip dessert, get the croffle!!

I recommend you to get a reservation before you come here. these days, as the vacation started so reservation is full. The seats can be limited. We are so sorry that you might not be able to seat if you didn’t. The reservation is needed.
