Results for Vegan
A digital travel guide containing vegan, vegetarian, macrobiotic, organic, and gluten-free restaurants in Japan.
Majority of them are located in Tokyo, but I've also included some excellent spots in Kyoto and Fukuoka.
🌟 I’ve organized each restaurant with a convenient category that explains what type of food they serve
🌟 I’ve also included links to their websites/social media.
This guide contains 50 locations with many varieties of food, including:
🍰🍩 desserts
🍜🥢 ramen
🌮🍔 international cuisine
🍛🍱 Japanese food
☕️🥪 cafes and bakeries
💖💰 higher end restaurants for a special meal
📌 This guide also includes a zero-waste Guesthouse that has an earth-friendly plant-based café and bar, that sells by weight, without trash.
💕✨ I've also created a FREE vegan and vegetarian Japanese word and phrase list to help you navigate Japan, so you can just show people your phone, and point.
I’ve also including a handy Gluten Free phrase and help guide, too.
My hope is that even if you don't purchase my guide, these free phrase lists will at least help you! ✨

Helpful Terms for Vegan and Vegetarian travellers:
The more commonly used terms:
vegetarian: ベジタリアン (beh-ji-tarian)
vegan: ヴィーガン (vui-gan) OR ビーガン (bee-gan)
The more traditional terms:
Buddhist vegan: 完全菜食主義者 (kanzen saishoku shugisha)
vegetarian 菜食主義者 (saishoku shugisha)
☆︶︶︶︶☆ ︶︶︶︶☆
NOTE: Even if you’re vegan, it’s good to start with this phrase, “beh-ji-tarian des” (I’m vegetarian) since it is already rare to be a vegetarian in Japan.
Saying you’re vegan will go over many people's heads, so if they say that they "can’t serve a vegetarian", they definitely can not serve a vegan.
Some helpful phrases you can keep handy on your phone:
I don’t eat meat, seafood, eggs and dairy products
肉とシーフードと卵と乳製品を食べません
(o-niku, shifudo, tamago, to nyūseihin wo tabemasen)
I don’t eat pork
豚肉を食べません
(buta niku wo tabemasen)
I don’t eat chicken
鶏肉を食べません
(tori niku wo tabemasen)
I don’t eat fish stock
魚のだしを食べません (sakana no dashi wo tabemasen)
I don’t eat eggs
卵を食べません
(tamago wo tabemasen)
I don’t eat cheese
チーズを食べません
(chizu wo tabemasen)

How to express having an allergy:
I am allergic to shrimp
エビのアレルギーがあります
(ebi no arerugi ga arimasu)
For example:
I am allergic to _____________________
_____________________ の アレルギーがあります
_____________________ no arerugi ga arimasu
☆︶︶︶︶☆ ︶︶︶︶☆
GLUTEN FREE TIPS:
Many Japanese dishes contain soy sauce and/or miso, and most of them contain gluten.
I am allergic to wheat
小麦アレルギーです
(Komugi arerugi desu)
麩 質 Fushitsu is the Japanese word for gluten
グ ル テ ン sometimes it is written in Katakana, as “gu-ru-ten”
Things to avoid:
小麦, 小麦 粉
Komugi is wheat, komugiko is wheat flour.
麦 Mugi is barley, usually in mugicha, barley tea. Or rye, called rye-mugi (ライ麦).
醤 油 Shoyu, or soy sauce
味噌 Miso paste
水 飴 Mizuame, or malt syrup, and barley malt syrup are in many sweets
Helpful Phrases:
I cannot eat food that contains gluten. So I cannot eat anything made with wheat, rye or barley. That means that I cannot eat soy sauce which contains wheat, or miso that contains wheat.
私はグルテンを含む食品が食べられません。小麦・大麦・ライ麦が使われているものは全部です。そのため、小麦を原料としている醤油や味噌もいっさい口にできません。
I have a serious disease called celiac disease, so that I cannot eat food that contains gluten. I cannot eat anything made with wheat, rye, or barley. I cannot eat soy sauce which contains wheat or miso that contains wheat.
私は、グルテンの摂取によって発症する「セアリック病」という深刻な病気をもっています。そのため、小麦・大麦・ライ麦が使われている食品は食べられません。小麦を原料としている醤油や味噌もいっさい口にできません。
Does this contain wheat?
これは小麦を使っていますか。
Does this contain barley?
これは大麦を使っていますか。
Does this contain soy sauce?
これは醤油を使っていますか。
When you go to a chicken grilling shop, they can dip it in a sauce which contains soy sauce, but you can ask them to do the salt sprinkled version instead:
Can you do shio-yaki (salt-flavored)?
塩だけで焼いてもらえますか。

What's included:
🌱 INTERACTIVE MAP:
Navigate Seoul with this interactive map, highlighting over 80 carefully selected vegan restaurants and cafes across the city's neighborhoods. And in case the GoogleMaps-Link doesn't work: I added the NaverMaps-Link for every single place!
🌱 DIVERSE OPTIONS:
From cozy cafes to elegant restaurants, from korean traditional cuisine to western dishes - everything you could possibly want to try when visiting Seoul.
🌱 KOREAN DISHES:
Some korean dishes are naturally vegan or can be adapted to be vegan by omitting or substituting some ingredients. I added a list of those dishes.
🌱 HELPFUL PHRASES:
As most Koreans unfortunately don't know the differences between vegetarian and vegan, it's often necessary to explain your restrictions. To make this a bit easier for you, you can find the most important translations in this guide too.
🌱 BONUS TIPS:
Not just restaurants and cafes - I also included a few vegan options for traditional markets and convenience stores. And a tip how you can order delivery food without a korean phone number or bank account.
🌱 CATEGORIZED:
I organized the places into "vegan only" and "vegan option available", so it's easier for you to make a decision and know what to expect.
Whether you're a committed vegan, a curious explorer, or someone aiming for healthier choices, this guide hopefully helps you exploring Seoul's vegan culinary world.

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. 🔗 But because Google Maps isn't always reliable in South Korea, you'll also find NaverMap links for every location.
🗺️ 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 | 명동
- Yeonnam-dong | 연남동
- Hongdae | 홍대
- Yongsan | 용산
- Gangnam | 강남
- Seongsu | 성수
- Jongno (near Gyeongbokgung Palace) | 종로
- 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.
💬 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).

New York City is chock-full of restaurants with various cuisines from around the world. With so many places to eat, you may find yourself struggling to make a decision about where to grab a bite.
Are you in the mood for Mexican food? Italian? Indian? Japanese? If you’re vegan or just love plant-based food, you can choose from any of the above cuisines, too. New York restaurants know that vegan isn’t one size fits all, which is why their restaurants are based on your food palate and preferred dining experience, as opposed to just excluding meat from their menus.

Who hasn't heard of Spanish patatas bravas? It's believed that this popular Spanish dish has its roots in Madrid, where it began to be served in bars and taverns in the early 20th century.
By default, it is a vegetarian dish consisting of a bunch of potatoes, which might have been fried, boiled in water, boiled in oil, or even baked (depending on the personal homemade recipe), mixed with a spicy sauce and/or mayonnaise or aioli (in Catalunya).
But in this guide, I'm going to recommend places in Barcelona where you can enjoy this fantastic tapa in its vegan version.

"What do you mean you don't eat no mean?"
If you're a fan of My Big Fat Greek Wedding, don't be afraid that we won't have restaurant options to fit your animal lover lifestyle. Athens is actually super vegan and vegetarian friendly, with many traditional dishes already being meat-free and plenty of restaurants dedicated to such cuisine!

When you think of Parisian cuisine, you probably picture something along the lines of baguettes, escargot, & cheese. As someone who is vegan, I thought my options would be somewhat limited there but BOY was I wrong. Not only did Paris have an abundance of fully vegan restaurants and bakeries, but it actually has several of my favorite vegan restaurants of all time. I have now been to Paris four times and tried many vegan places, but the ones listed below are my absolute favorites.
