Good food

Good food and choice on the menu, nice service, good location and a good vibe. There is a dog here that normally goes up to everyone. On the menu, there is a lot of choice for drinks and also a couple of desserts. The only negative is that the food was pretty slow to arrive.

Huge disappointment

At my first visit, I arrived during business hours, but was told that the cook had gone home early and there was no food available.
I was really disappointed, especially since I came to this area specifically for the restaurant (it’s not located in a central area).
I decided to give them a second chance and returned the next day.
During this visit, I was told that there were only four dishes and one dessert to choose from.
I honestly don’t understand how they think it’s acceptable to offer only four options. I ordered the vegan burger—which had nothing to do with an actual burger. It was very sweet and served more like a sloppy Joe on a dry bun.
It feels like the restaurant staff doesn’t take the business seriously.
I hope they do someday, because the place has potential.

best meal of my entire LIFE

a year ago I came here and had the mushroom dish and earth pancake. altogether the best meal I've ever had in my life.

I have returned a year later to find my beloved mushroom and pancake dishes taken off the menu. I hope they can bring them back for other people to try in the future even if I might not be back for a long time. all good vegans deserve to try the mushroom dish at the very least.

besides all that, great vibes, place smells great, love it all.

Bring cash - otherwise amazing

We had the best vegan dinner in Busan here. The tacos were really good, but the pizza was out of this world. Not crisp but amazing sauce and vegan cheese. No desserts here. The ginger lemonade is great. Machine did not accept our credit cards (unlike most other places in Busan this week), and of course ApplePay is not an option as usual in Korea. We were glad we had some Korean cash on us.

Pros: The pizza! Also, the pizza!, Cosy, laid-back, owner-run

Cons: Our credit cards did not work here, Menu hard to decipher

The pizza is just amazing

Relaxed atmosphere, very friendly staff and a chef who cares about the food he prepares - we thorougly enjoyed our dinner. We had the very good tacos and the totally awesome pizza. It came with a creamy, cheese-like topping, delicious. The ginger lemonade is also a clear recommendation.

Delicious tacos & hummus

Small menu which means everything is nicely cooked & presented. I'm vegetarian, my husband definitely isn't 😔, this was easily the best of the 4 vegan restaurants we've eaten at in South Korea. In fact this has been one of the best meals during 3 weeks here. Lovely service, tasty food, vegan wine 😋

Best Chickpea 'Tuna' I've had!

I ordered the chickpea tuna *salad bowl* (not sandwich) and the salad was outstanding. I am not normally a salad eater, but the salad was outstanding! the greens were so fresh, the chickpea tuna was a bit different than any I've ever made at home or had at other restaurants. It finished very clean and was so light and delicious! There were some nuts in the salad as well as a delicious balsamic, and the CARROTS ON THE SIDE WERE DIVINE!

I highly recommend you ask them how they make their carrots because I can't wait to try myself at home now. They were delicious.

The drink menu is very large and I actually had a very delicious drink in which the cinnamon stick was the PERFECT little touch. I really liked this place.

Pros: Delicious food!, Awesome drink selection, great atmosphere and varied seating

Great restaurant! We came in late and the only dishes they had left were the pasta and the pizza. Both were good but the pasta was a bit too spicy for my sister.

Faboulous food, not so great location

We ordered pizza and pasta. Both were amazing! The pasta was a bit too spicy for us, while the pizza was exceptionally good! They also have lovely cherry wine and homemade ginger beer. The premises are cozy with both indoor and outdoor seating. We got a table in a small "annex". There was a strong smell of mosquito repellent/mosquito coil or similar (and fortunately almost no mosquitoes). It was a bit spartan, but was basically cozy to sit there. Unfortunately, there was a giant cockroach in the room, which we found unpleasant, as we are not used to such things. The rest of the places (both outside and inside) were taken, so we stayed seated.

We often keep the glass greenhouse doors on the terrace open during business hours. Since there are many trees and plants nearby, it's inevitable that insects sometimes find their way inside. While we do our best to manage this, we also place incense outdoors to help keep them away.
That said, we're truly sorry to hear that you felt uncomfortable, and we appreciate your understanding.

Worth the wait

Amazing food and atmosphere. We had the pasta and the pizza and both were very tasty and creative takes on Italian classics. It took some time for the food to arrive as the place was packed, even on a Tuesday.

Anyway, we were very impressed by what they can cook in such a small kitchen.

Cozy and nice place to rest in Haeundae

We spent great time with this western vegan food and local beer. Owners are kind and easy-going. You can listen to nice music and spent some peaceful time. Pizza was delicious, as well as the tacos, but they were spicy like mexican style.

Cool restaurant with tasty menu

I had the best meal of my trip here. I had the pasta on the menu and my girlfriend had a pizza which was equally good. The pasta was quite spicy which seems to be common in Korea. For dessert we had a raw chocolate brownie and pots of hibiscus tea while enjoying the rain outside the open walled restaurant space. The space is decorated with great style and the staff seem really down to earth.

Pros: Delicious food, Stylish space, Cool owners

Cons: They seemed to almost run out of food, when more customers came in after us

Pasta was amazing

We found this place on Kakao Maps when looking for vegan food places in Busan. We tried the Aioli Pasta and it was spectacular, and so needed because it was raining so hard.
They also have us dates with some crackers and that was amazing too.
They had a very long drink menu. Not many food options but enough.
We had the lemonade and the alcohol free wine, both very good.
The place is small but has a lovely atmosphere

Pros: The pasta

Cons: Would love more options

Amazing food

The food here was fantastic. I enjoyed the tacos which were flavourful and delicious. The salsa and vegan sour cream really made the dish stand out. They also have a great range of drinks to choose from. I also loved the decorations and aesthetic of the restaurant.

As others have said, it’s easy to miss this place if you’re not paying attention. Look for signage on the street that directs you to the 3rd floor.

Hands down, the best vegan food in South Korea

Whilst there are some quirks, such as the one man machine that runs the Bistro (which can mean long wait times on food), this is the best Vegan food we have had in South Korea.

The menu is lean, with usually 6 or so vegan items and a raft of delicious drinks. The venue can be a little hard find as it is tucked away on the 3rd floor of a little building off the main drag.

However, it is the best food and alcohol we have experienced in South Korea and should be a must for those visiting Busan.

Pros: The food is exceptional., The hosts speaks English and is exceptionally warm, The ambiance is stunning

Cons: Can be a little tricky to find.

Fusion Food, Great Vibes

Discreet vegan eatery with bar vibes on level 3 (but still comfortable and family-friendly), serving international and fusion-style cuisine as well as alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Highly impressed by the dishes I ordered - Kung Fu Boy with battered shimeji mushrooms in Chinese-style soy sauce, and Hola Taco with vegan 'pulled pork' and 'cheese'! Only wish I could have eaten more. Walking distance from Haeundae Metro Station, good for pairing with a day out to Haeundae Beach and/or Haeundae Blueline Park (known for the colourful sky capsules and beach train).

Nice

Lovely staff and gorgeous ambience, but I found the food and drink average.
The pasta was nice but so oily. I like an oil based pasta but this was dripping in a very thin oil. Bread on the side was hard as a rock and covered in syrupy sweet balsamic.
Ginger ade was lovely looking but honestly as it sat with the garnishes in it it began to taste like a candle.
The menu did not describe what any of the ingredients were - such as the tacos and the ‘sourdough sandwich’ got no further explanation. I of course asked but it felt so awkward in our broken language communication and in the very intimate setting.

Pros: Ambience , Good portion , Friendly staff

Cons: Expensive , Average food , Limited and unexplained menu
