Customer service is terrible - Edit
I loved this place. I was in Seoul for 11 nights and came 3 times because the food and atmosphere was so great. Clearly also because it is vegetarian.
Read moreBUT! Enough is enough. Today was the 4th and final time.
Why??? Lack of customer service.
Wine. We were served 2-3 fingers which is a joke for the price. We would have gotten a bottle. We also would have ordered dessert if someone actually came and asked us.
I understand it is Korean culture to not clear tables, but to wait 25 minutes with all plates empty is simply not acceptable.
Easy solution. Take the 2 skimpy glasses off of the bill or pour 2 new glasses.
Alas....neither the manager or owner who apparently was sitting next to us drinking 2 bottles of wine cared.
Shame on them. They clearly DO NOT work for tips, or care about loyal customers.
나는 이곳을 좋아했다. 나는 11 밤 동안 서울에 있었고 음식과 분위기가 너무 커서 3 번 왔습니다. 채식주의 자이기 때문에 분명합니다.
그러나! 충분합니다. 오늘은 네 번째이자 마지막 시간이었습니다.
왜??? 고객 서비스 부족.
포도주. 우리는 가격에 대한 농담 인 2-3 손가락을 받았습니다. 우리는 병을 얻었을 것입니다. 누군가가 실제로 와서 물어 보면 디저트를 주문했을 것입니다.
나는 테이블을 지우지 않는 것이 한국 문화라는 것을 이해하지만, 모든 접시를 비운 상태에서 25 분 동안 기다리는 것은 용납 될 수 없습니다.
쉬운 솔루션. 빌에서 2 개의 빈약 한 안경을 꺼내거나 2 개의 새 안경을 따르십시오.
아아 .... 명백하게 우리 옆에 앉아있는 2 명의 와인을 마시는 관리자 또는 소유자는 아닙니다.
부끄러운 줄 아세요. 그들은 팁을 위해 일하거나 충성도가 높은 고객을 돌보지 않습니다.
Pros: Vegetarian, Vibe, Location
Cons: Service, Price, Did I mention service??

Smart cozy spot, worth the price - Edit
Only small inside but cute and well decorated.
Read moreThe menu is around 20-30k per main, though the dishes are filling.
Bulgogi Pizza - do not opt for the pineapple option! Or else it will come covered with a thick layer of pineapple. Too much pineapple for sure.
Sweet and Sour Chicken with Fried Rice - strong taste but very nice!
Also portions are a good size.
We weren’t offered any water and just had empty glasses until we asked, which was disappointing service.
Pros: Vegan options, Nice decor , Tasty
Cons: Too expensive to visit regularly

Wonderful ambience and delicious food - Edit
Once you set eyes on the stylish front door you know you're about to walk into somewhere memorable. Really cool plating, decor, presentation and menu. I had the sweet and sour chicken and the texture of the chicken was perfect. Only bad thing I can say about the dish is that it was a little too sweet for me. But that"s just personal preference. It was my bad for not remembering that vegetarian can mean eggs are acceptable but if you are pure vegetarian and don't eat eggs go for the vegan option vs the vegetarian option cause it comes with egg.

Not bad - Edit
This place has very nice ambience and decor. Their customer service was also pretty good. However, the food is quite over priced for what it is. The beyond burger patty itself is good but the sauce in the burger was quite spicy and that wasn't specified in the menu. The tom yum fried rice was ok, the meat skewers it comes with were delicious. The welcome bread and drinks are a nice touch. Overall, its a good upscale dining place, but the taste could be better. I think the focus was more on presentation and not so much on the actual taste of the food. Also, do make a reservation ahead of time and specify the kind of seating you want. We made a reservation but failed to mention where we would like to sit and we got seated at the bar. I assumed everyone gets a table. It was our wedding anniversary, and sitting at the bar just ruined the experience.

Good food. English speaking staff. - Edit
Hearty plate of Katsu curry. English speaking staff. Signage is small so it’s easy to miss the place - look for a small sign above the door (check photos). The chocolate mousse was good but plating made it difficult to eat. Three levels, all small; a restaurant area (three tables, but one could seat six or so), a bar area on the next floor up with an interesting glass floor, and a lovely rooftop. I didn’t make a reservation but would next time just to be sure I get in.

Cons: A little pricey , Small place - make a reservation

The best vegan food in South Korea - Edit
I will be straight forward, this place has hands down* the best vegan dining experience I have had whilest being in Korea and otherwise. I have visited multiple times and have tried a variety of dishes and drinks they have to offer. I recommend them to everyone who is visiting Seoul. I recommend making a reservation ahead of time though to be sure you can be seated.

Incredibly delicious good! - Edit
This is an upscale place, so prices are high (20-30k won). However, the food is delicious and creative, which is sometime rare at vegetarian/vegan places. The sweet and sour chicken is to die for! This became our go-to date spot for my partner and I when we lived in Seoul.

Spectacular - Edit
The vegan Chocolate Mousse is heavenly. Great atmosphere, fancy but not stuffy. Very friendly staff! Welcome drinks are a nice touch, and it was encouraging to see locals eating here on a Friday night.

Great place (for a date) - Edit
Been meaning to come here for a while but the opening hours had made it difficult (they only open from six). The place was pretty high-end, a lot of stone and candlelight. Obviously, it is not a place meant for children and the menu items were quite sophisticated. There's a lot on the menu but once we'd chosen and the food arrived, they were huge plates of food! We waited a while and the dishes did not come out at the same time but it was worth it. Contrary to other reviews, our first server was not that comfortable in English but towards the end of the meal, another was much more talkative and friendly.

Amazing place with tasteful decor and delicious food - Edit
Pre-dinner bread was warm, soft and tasty. Katsu curry was yummy. The curry had a nice umami and the it was so beautifully plated. Chocolate mousse came with torched grapefruit and kiwi. So tanginess from the fruits did a good job of balancing the sweetness of the mousse.

Absolute gem! - Edit
What a great vibe! This place is perfect for that romantic date or a really chill night with close friends. Artfully decorated (with the exception of an animal skin) and filled with really appropriate music.
Read moreThe food was like artwork and was absolutely delicious. We had a spicy Thai soup and a pumpkin cream dish that was the vegan special for the night.
Everything is clearly marked vegan or vegetarian on the menu, and the staff made sure to know our preference.
All in all, well worth the price for the great food, fab atmosphere, and attention to detail.
Pros: Amazing options, Perfect atmosphere, Great staff
Cons: Pricey but worth it, Animal skin on the floor

Hidden secret - Edit
This place is amazing! Small with just a few tables and nice rooftop for sunny days. Food is delicious, size of portions big, try the homemade bread before. The waiters ask for preference of vegan or vegetarian and spoke very good english which is quite rare! Got some explanations to our meals, including ingredients. Ideal for dinner with friends or couples. Reservation for groups required. Missed the entrance door although i have been there before, use maps to find it, as there is no sign outside.

A rare fully veg fancy restaurant ♡ - Edit
I was so excited to discover this place because fully vegetarian/vegan fancy restaurants are hard to come by and a first in Seoul.
Read moreA fully vegetarian menu with lots of vegan options! Apparently they are still developing their menu so there might be more options to come~ The welcome drink, appetizer bread, and mains were all delicious ♡ Had the japanese curry katsu (?) and was blown. The cutlet was handmade (soo yumz) and you could taste the effort put into making everything else on the plate.
The service was also great and I most importantly I loooved the detailed interior design and atmosphere. Had a classy but mysterious and slightly spooky(?haha) edge to it. They even have a rooftop area which is still in the works but looks cool!
Overall a lovely place to dine at for a special occasion or just anyday you're feeling luxurious!
Pros: Delicious food, huge portions, lovely atmosphere~
Cons: Slightly pricey but worth it. Hard to locate but t

dinning place - Edit
There was no sign at all at the door, like a secret society :-). The place is has very modern interiour. One gets a welcome drink and olives with bread. There were about five vegan dishes and a bit more of vegetarian oned. It is a mix of western and asian cuisine. The food looks great on the plate. It would need some better seasoning, but maybe it is the usual thing of not using much salt in Korea ;-) Drinks menu is focused on wines. Priced of dishes 18-23000. Nice fancy place to have a dinner out, probably to only one of this style in Seoul....
Read morePros: modern, stylish, good English of all stuff
Cons: open only evenings, no starterts, just one desert
