Seoul 서울

This restaurant offers vegan temple food in a charmingly renovated old house. The chef, who speaks excellent English, is originally an academic with a passion for Buddhist culture, and knows a lot about the traditions that have shaped this cuisine. Today, she reinterprets it in her own way, much to our delight. We recommend choosing the set, which allows you to sample a multitude of delicious small dishes based on fresh, local ingredients, as well as delicacies fermented with patience and love on site.

Restaurant specializing in barbecue and smoked meat (chicken, pork, duck, pheasant, etc.) and teriyaki. Offers some very correct wines. Cheap. A broche can be reserved 2 days in advance. The boss is very nice.

At the end of a small alley, it is the most famous restaurant in Insa-dong, at least the most touristic. It is run by a Buddhist monk who offers in an authentic setting entirely vegetarian menus prepared with mountain herbs (said the legend...). The owner has also published several cookery books. If the place remains popular among foreigners who want to discover Korean cuisine in a charming setting, it is often full of tourists for dinner, businessmen coming for lunch.

On the menu of this charming little establishment: wrap, salad, burger... yes, but everything is vegan! Steaks are made from plants and tofu, meatballs are made with mushrooms.... Obviously suitable for vegetarians but will surprise omnivores in many ways. Let yourself be tempted by the avocado burger or the Thai style green curry: they are real wonders! And yes, in the land of barbecues, there are also other alternatives and what's more, they are really delicious too!

Here's a gourmet restaurant located high up in the impressive Lotte World Mall. Here, the focus is on vegan food, presented in a multitude of sophisticated dishes thought out with care and artistry: each is accompanied by an informative and poetic note. The wine list is well-stocked, allowing for tasty pairings. The establishment, with its original, chic yet relaxed decor, large picture windows and impeccable service, is ideal for an intimate, gourmet moment.

If you're looking for a cozy brunch spot in Seoul, this is it! With its original menu featuring sets where you can choose your own combination of different small dishes, this gourmet yet healthy restaurant is sure to get everyone on the same wavelength. The cuisine offers classic Western recipes with a local twist, and the drinks are varied - from detox juices to matcha lattes. The warm decor and young, friendly staff will put you at ease. Ideal for a gentle morning, for the mind as well as the stomach.

This establishment offers top quality beef! Especially recommended is the Tenderloin Steak, a 200 gpiece of meat that is served with a wine sauce (which you can even sauce if you wish, as they serve bread). A treat for the meat lovers! For vegetarians or those who prefer fish, don't worry. The establishment also serves salads, pasta and some risottos. There may be a bit of a wait though, as this restaurant is quite popular.

This panoramic restaurant (grill, buffet, café, chic brasserie) in the futuristic tower overlooking Jongno has a very chic, uncluttered, elegant and colourful decoration. The Franco-Asian fusion restaurant specializing in grilled meats is refined but quite expensive. Yet it offers a truly breathtaking view of Bugaksan and the Gyeongbokgung. The café is an affordable restaurant-bar with a breathtaking view of the south, Jongno and Namsan. He offers jazz concerts. Very crowded, you'd better think about making a reservation.
