Hi! I'm L, and I've been living a lacto-ovo vegetarian, plant-based lifestyle for 11 years. For the past two years, I've been in Korea maintaining the same plant-focused diet.
It's no secret that Korean cuisine is deeply rooted in meat culture. I created this site to provide an updated resource for anyone following a plant-based diet in Korea — whether you're vegan or simply exploring new dining experiences 🍠
👇 My favorite finds of veggie-friendly dining in Seoul — cafes to high-end restaurants.
This is not an exhaustive list… It’s a list of places I genuinely recommend or recommend for their convenience (i.e. a certain restaurant at a certain mall) — there are plenty of other places that I’ve been, but might not be worth the visit IMO, which is why they aren’t on the list.
Thank you for taking the time to look through this lil site. I’ve spent the past 2 years in Korea navigating this lifestyle (mostly on my own). So, this idea was born out of what I wish I had.
I don’t have all the knowledge or recommendations, but I hope that you find what I do know and can recommend helpful.
