The Vegan Trail in Sinsa-dong

This vegan restaurant is run by Kim Hong-rok, a contemporary artist who has been vegan for seven years. Not only the main dishes but also the beverages, alcoholic drinks and desserts are all vegan. Instead of replacing non-vegan food, the restaurant focuses on developing delicious vegan dishes with their own distinct flavors. Because it avoids ready-made products whose full ingredients are unclear, it makes its own burger buns, cheese and every sauce used in its dishes. The consistently popular Chanterelle Lemon Parsley Pasta brings together chanterelle mushrooms and lemon aromas in a delicate balance that also pairs well with wine. The Fried Avocado Arugula Burger makes an imposing entrance. Generous pieces of ripe avocado are fried and stacked with arugula, tomato and a vegan meat patty. The fillings are so generous that the burger is enough for two to share. ADD: 2F, 75 Nonhyeon-ro 175-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. TEL: 070-4105-5331
