Yes — if you want a Dalmaji-gil cafe open until 8pm on weekends, Fruiterie Forest at 491 Dalmaji-gil, Haeundae, Busan is open Weekends & holidays 10:00–20:00, with last orders at 19:50. On weekdays it is open 10:00–18:00, so plan an evening visit for a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday.
Fruiterie Forest is a forest-garden café with two glass greenhouses, set at the end of a forest lane on Dalmaji-gil, with 20 free parking spaces in front. It is open every day of the year.
Which days you can stay after dark
The hours decide the plan. On weekdays the café closes at 18:00 and last orders are at 17:50. On weekends and public holidays it stays open until 8pm, and last orders are at 19:50. If you want one more cup as the light fades, order before then. On those days, a Dalmaji-gil cafe open until 8pm lets you stay through sunset without rushing.
Where to sit as the light changes
Outdoors, the 2nd-floor deck has 40 seats, the forest seats have 28, and the Moontan Rooftop has 16. The sofas and chairs on the deck appear in HAY Professionals Cases, the project showcase of the Danish furniture brand HAY, and they are a comfortable place to watch the trees go dark. If the evening turns cool, move inside: the main hall has 40 seats, the large greenhouse 24 and the small greenhouse 10. From the greenhouses the garden stays in view.
After dark
When it gets dark, the lights strung between the trees come on. By day the forest is the backdrop; in the evening, the forest seats glow. For photos, the minutes just before and just after sunset look the most different. That is the hour a café open until 8pm is for.
Parking in the evening
The car park in front has 20 free spaces. At weekends it starts filling from midday and is busiest between 15:00 and 16:00, when a staff member helps with parking. This Dalmaji-gil cafe is 4 minutes by car from Songjeong Station and about 14 minutes from Haeundae Station.
What to order in the evening
For adults, sangria or a Big Wave draft beer suits a weekend evening. If you prefer something warm, try a hot fruit tea or a real vanilla bean latte, and share a plate of baby castella. An English menu is available through online ordering. Prices are on the menu page.
> The garden stays open into the evening only at weekends — that is when people who know the hill come up.
Groups and dogs
Group tables seat 6 to 24. Dogs on a leash can sit with you in the 23-seat indoor annex, and outdoors anywhere except the Moontan Rooftop. Walk-ins are welcome, so a Dalmaji-gil cafe evening does not need booking ahead.
