Vegetarian Restaurants & Cafes you must visit!

Being a vegetarian is hard in Korea as few restaurants offer vegetarian options. So, knowing where good vegetarian restaurants are will make your stay in Seoul even more exciting. I should note that the order of recommendations does not reflect the quality of restaurants. Rather, all restaurants will offer amazing vegan meals. If you are ready, let us explore vegan restaurants you will enjoy!

✨ If you want to try food and Korean culture at the same time, you must visit 'Balwoo Gongyang'. This restaurant offers what Koreans call '사찰음식', which literally translates as 'temple food'. It is exactly this. In the meal, there is no meat, following Buddhist rules. At the same time, you can taste the depth of traditional Korean cuisine, which makes it a must-visit restaurant for both vegans and non-vegans.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I was born and raised in Seoul, Korea before I got lucky enough to travel the world for 8 years. When I came back, I realised something I had not before. Seoul is not like other cities I visited. Each city indeed has its own beauty. But, Seoul offers dynamic scenes of history and culture. It saddened me to think that people around the world do not know much about it. So, here I am, trying to convince you that the Seoul trip will change the way you see Korea and it is going to be worth the trip.
