About the restaurant
Choryang Ibagu-gil is a modern history and culture trail laid out along the hillside behind Busan Station, an atmospheric alley where the lives of Korean War refugees still live and breathe. True to its name, ibagu ("story")-gil, history and stories fill every corner, and recently charming, distinctive cafés have been opening one after another, transforming it into a trendy Cafe Street. Climbing the hillside stairs, at about 180 m above sea level a panoramic view of Busan Port, Busandaegyo Bridge and Yeongdo unfolds before you. The monorail at the 168 Stairs lets elderly and less mobile visitors get around comfortably. Murals and sculptures are installed throughout the alleys, making it famous as a photo spot too.
