Absolutely Amazing!! - Edit
When we were there we had the pesto risotto with vegan shroom-scallop, the excuse me… Jeju carrot? and an apple crumble parfait and everything was exceptional!! The chef of the restaurant was so kind and sweet, the decoration was very cosy and I highly recommend!! Their menu changes weekly, you can find their current menu on their Instagram @rootedseoul They’re open Tuesday through to Saturday, if you have the chance, definitely check it out!

Best vegan food I've had in Seoul! - Edit
Had the Hummus platter and my partner had the Grilled Cheese, nicest vegan Grilled Cheese sandwich I've ever had! Dessert was lovely too, my partner had Banana Bread and Banana Ice cream and I had a Peach Parfait with Ice Cream and Banana Bread also, washed down with an iced soya latte. Cannot recommend this place enough, lovely cost atmosphere within walking distance of the Lotte World Mall and Tower, well worth the trip!

Lovely spot with a menu that’s hard to chose from - Edit
What a hard choice: the menu looked and sounded just very appealing. I chose a Green curry that was delicious and/but different to what I expected. Loved the atmosphere, very cosy and sweet and intimate: They cook in front of you.

Fresh healthy and happy food - Edit
This restaurant is a stone's throw from Lotte world, it's small and cozy, the owner/chef is kind and smiling, plus her English is perfect so no risks of getting lost in translation here.
Read moreThe food is excellent, creative and I loved that all the dishes we had were colorful and full of herbs and green.
We shared a focaccia as starter which came with olive and balsamic vinegar to dip (happiness!).
I had the cheese sandwich, which came with a green salad (great dressing). Let's just say I could eat that sandwich every day!
The potato salad was very good, unusually in a green dressing.
My husband had a rice dish with lentils and aubergine, again very good although we thought the aubergine could have been cooked a little longer.
We then had one of the best dessert we've had: a very original take on an apple crumble, with layers os banana bread, warm apple compote, banana ice cream and crumble pieces, all topped with a swirl of whipped cream. This was such a surprise, very clever mix of ingredients, I hope everyone tries it, it's heaven!
Let's not forget a wonderfully fresh rosemary lemonade.
This place is totally worth a visit.
Pros: Very colourful delicious menu, The apple crumble
Cons: No toilets

Freaking good - Edit
Went there today with my family and was kinda disappointed they dud not want to eat Korean food but in the end it was worth it!!! I could try 5 different dishes because we all shared the meals and they kept getting better and better!! Also cool combinations like apple and lentils. This western food tasted much better than it could ever taste in Europe. We were also told that the cook has finished her training in the US.

Chef's Kiss - Edit
What a fantastic experience! Yae is so wonderful and helpful! Her food is so comforting and fulfilling which is no surprise since she's a pro chef.
Read moreWe had the hummus plate, shakshuka, hot cocoa, lemonade spritzer with a side of focaccia. We also ordered the chocolate chip walnut cookie and the parfait. Literally all of it was what I never knew I needed.
We got a grilled cheese to go and I have no doubt it will be amazing but we are just too stuffed to review it now!
10/10 will be going back with friends many more times!
Pros: Yae (the owner), The food is incredible , Reasonably priced

I can’t speak highly enough about this place! The ingredients are all fresh. The plates have unique spins on traditional entrees. I took my mom here, who is a meat eater, and she said it was her favorite place she’d eaten at in her time in South Korea. We love this place. 💕

I had the grilled cheese sandwich and focaccia, which were both very tasty! Both the bread and the vegan cheese are made in-house, and I was impressed with them both. Wonderful to have something totally vegan nearby Jamsil.
