"This one's for the matcha fans. 🍡 Loads of matcha drink and snack options and even few vegan options. 🌱 Another unique aspect: There's a robot that prepares the matcha."

Everything you need as a vegetarian or vegan in Seoul. 🌱 I'll keep it real, folks: It's not *easy* but it's manageable. Contents: 30+ vegan-friendly restaurants and cafes, useful apps and phrases, and street food options. Basically: Everything I learned from 28 days as a vegetarian traveller in South Korea (and dozens of hours of research). 🌱 30+ VEGAN FRIENDLY RESTAURANTS This interactive map makes navigating Seoul's vegan and vegetarian food scene easier. πŸ”— But because Google Maps isn't always reliable in South Korea, you'll also find NaverMap links for every location. πŸ—ΊοΈ ORGANISED BY NEIGHBOURHOOD Hungry in Insadong? Or want to visit Itaewon but not sure what's available for you? No problem. I've listed each restaurant by neighbourhood. I've included recommendations in 10 different neighbourhoods including: - Myeong-dong | λͺ…동 - Yeonnam-dong | 연남동 - Hongdae | ν™λŒ€ - Yongsan | μš©μ‚° - Gangnam | 강남 - Seongsu | μ„±μˆ˜ - Jongno (near Gyeongbokgung Palace) | μ’…λ‘œ - and more! 🌱 CATEGORISED Each spot is marked as 'vegan', 'vegan options' and 'vegetarian-friendly' so you know what to expect (look out for the little 🌱 plant emoji). I've also categorised whether it's a cafe '🍰' or a restaurant '🍴'. I've also included what kind of food you can expect to find at each location. 🫑 STREET FOOD OPTIONS 15+ Korean street food options for vegetarians and a smaller list (5 options) for vegans. πŸ’¬ HELPFUL PHRASES: Because most Koreans don't know the restrictions linked to vegetarianism and veganism, it's often necessary to explain your restrictions. To make this a bit easier, I've included simple phrases you can adapt for your restrictions (and vocabulary). --- β˜•οΈ 🀍 Being a veggie foodie is totally possible in Seoul, it just takes a little extra planning. With this guide, I have no doubt you'll have an incredible foodie experience. πŸ“’ This Seoul foodie guide will be regularly updated so be sure to save it and follow @StormOnTheHorizon (everywhereπŸ“²) for updates.

When it comes to cities with the best cafe culture, I think Seoul takes the cake. Explore over 30 of the most Instagram-worthy cafes in Seoul with this guide to unique cafes. CONTENTS: βœ… USEFUL INSIGHTS Before you start cafe-hopping in Seoul, there are some things you should know (tipping culture, cafe etiquette in South Korea, opening times and more). β˜•οΈ ORGANISED BY NEIGHBOURHOOD There are almost 100,000 cafes in Seoul -- so, it goes without saying: This isn't a masterlist. Instead, it's a curated collection. I've included a handful of cafes in: - Yeonnam-dong | 연남동 - Hongdae | ν™λŒ€ - Yongsan | μš©μ‚° - Gangnam | 강남 - Seongsu | μ„±μˆ˜ - Ikseon-dong | 읡선동 - Anguk | μ•ˆκ΅­ - 1 cafe near Gyeongbok Palace (Sagan-dong | 사간동) 🫑 HONEST OPINIONS Life's too short for bad cake and coffee. While these are all beautiful, I've included my 🫑 honest foodie experience too, so you can make informed decisions about whether to go or not. 🌱 VEGAN OPTIONS They're very limited, folks - but when I've found vegan cafes in Seoul (or vegan options), I've include a note with a little 🌱 plant emoji. πŸ—ΊοΈ INTERACTIVE MAP πŸ”— Google maps doesn't work well in Seoul but not to worry: I've included Naver Map links for every cafe on the list. --- β˜•οΈ 🀍 From one cafe lover to another, I hope this is useful! 🀍 πŸ“’ This Seoul cafe guide will be regularly updated so, be sure to save it and follow @StormOnTheHorizon (everywhereπŸ“² for updates).
