G-STAR 2026 in Busan: where to rest before or after BEXCO? A Haeundae cafe in a forest greenhouse on Dalmaji-gil

G-STAR 2026 takes place from Thursday, November 19 to Sunday, November 22 at BEXCO in Busan. After a full day of queues, booths and bright screens, many visitors look for one slow morning somewhere green. A Haeundae cafe in the forest is an easy way to give the trip that pause.

Fruiterie Forest is a glass greenhouse cafe at 491 Dalmaji-gil, Haeundae, at the end of a forest lane. It is a 14-minute drive from Haeundae Station, with 20 free parking spaces right in front.

Before or after the halls

Travellers who plan well rarely stack one crowded place on top of another. If you spend the afternoon at G-STAR 2026, the morning before or the day after is a good time for trees and quiet air. Whether you come before BEXCO or after it, stop by and rest in the forest for a while.

Where to sit

On a cool November morning, the greenhouses are the easiest choice: 24 seats in the large greenhouse and 10 in the small one, with daylight coming through the glass and the wind kept out. If you are travelling alone, the window seats on the second floor look down over the bamboo. For a group, the second-floor deck has 40 seats facing the forest. Fruiterie Forest was newly selected in 2025 as one of three Busan Unique Venues by the Busan Tourism Organization, so the space is used for gatherings as well as quiet visits.

Getting here

From Haeundae, take a taxi or drive up Dalmaji Hill to this Haeundae cafe. As the road climbs, the sea falls behind you and trees close in on both sides; that is when you are almost here. If you have a dog with you, the forest seats (28) welcome dogs on a lead.

Opening hours during the show

Weekdays are 10:00 to 18:00, and weekends and public holidays are 10:00 to 20:00. Last orders are 17:50 on weekdays and 19:50 on weekends. November 23, the day after G-STAR 2026 ends, is a Monday, so weekday hours apply. On weekdays, one drink per person comes with one free Americano refill, which makes a long morning at this Haeundae cafe easy.

What to order

Cold-pressed juices are pressed each morning from seasonal fruit, and the sweetness comes from the fruit itself. Freshly baked baby castella and the brunch plate are good with them if you want something more filling. Prices are on the menu page.
