Looking for a restaurant in Busan where the view does the talking? McQueen’s Grill & Bar sits inside Ananti at Busan Cove, a design-forward resort on the coast of Gijang, just north of Haeundae. Floor-to-ceiling glass, a soaring sculptural ceiling, and open-air terraces look straight out over the East Sea. The food is solid and comforting rather than fine-dining fireworks — but paired with that scenery, it makes an easy pick for a special occasion or anniversary dinner.
Quick take: McQueen’s Grill & Bar sits on the 10th floor of Ananti at Busan Cove (Gijang, Busan). It is best for ocean views, open-air terraces, and special occasions such as anniversaries. The signature dishes are the Rib Short Ribs Risotto (₩38,000) and the McQueen Burger, served in a calm, spacious, design-led room made for lingering over the sea.
A restaurant built around the sea
Ananti at Busan Cove is one of Korea’s most photographed resorts, and McQueen’s is its all-day grill and bar on the 10th floor. You take the lift up, pass the McQueen’s lounge, and walk through to the restaurant, where the architecture opens up dramatically — tall, tree-like white columns branching across the ceiling, and glass walls framing nothing but sky and water. Honestly, the space and the ocean view are the main event here.
The outdoor terraces (a favorite for visitors)
Beyond the dining room, McQueen’s opens onto covered open-air terraces with white arches, lounge seating, and a water feature — a lovely spot to step out before or after your meal, drink in hand. With 52 of the 108 seats out on the terrace, this is a genuinely sea-facing restaurant. If you are visiting Korea, this kind of relaxed outdoor space is exactly the sort of thing worth building an afternoon around. Grab a window table inside and you still get the full coastline; the resort’s gardens and walking paths spill down toward the shore below.
The menu & prices
McQueen’s serves an approachable Western-leaning menu — pinsa (Roman-style pizza), pasta, risotto, pilaf, and burgers. Most mains land in the mid-to-high ₩30,000s, which is fair for a resort restaurant with this outlook.
- Shrimp Pilaf ₩25,000 · Beef Pilaf ₩28,000
- Abalone Risotto ₩34,000 · Rib Short Ribs Risotto ₩38,000 (the signature)
- Pinsa & pasta mostly in the ₩30,000s
What we ordered
Meals open with warm house-baked bread served on a pretty blue-and-white plate — crisp outside, soft inside, and arguably a highlight in its own right.
The Rib Short Ribs Risotto is the dish to order: a big, slow-cooked short rib on the bone crowns a creamy parmesan risotto. The beef pulls apart easily and looks the part — great for photos. The flavor is comforting and exactly what you would expect rather than surprising, but it is genuinely satisfying.
The McQueen Burger is a hearty stack — thick patty, bacon, egg, and vegetables in a glossy bun — served with crisp fries. Nothing avant-garde, just a well-made burger that tastes even better with the sea in front of you.
Is it worth it?
If you are chasing a Michelin-level meal, this is not quite that. But if you want a calm, scenic dinner for a birthday, anniversary, or a memorable stop on a Busan trip, McQueen’s delivers: the view is spectacular, the outdoor spaces are a treat, and the food is comfortably above average. Pair it with a walk around Ananti’s seaside promenade and you have a lovely half-day.
