Every dish at Mahina Vegan Table, run by contemporary artist and owner Kim Hong-rok, is entirely vegan. Only plant-based ingredients are used in the oils and patties for dishes such as potato croquettes with vegan caviar, pickled shallots and truffles from Italy's Umbria region, porcini pasta, the Jalapeño Chicken Burger and the Grilled Pineapple Burger. Desserts such as affogato and tiramisu are also made in-house and served without animal ingredients such as butter, milk or eggs.

The black-and-white space, wave-shaped wooden tables, supportive chairs and soothing classical music all reflect the care taken to create an atmosphere where guests can focus fully on the food. Even those who do not follow a vegetarian diet can eat with the ease of a vegetarian. To experience vegan food with all five senses, visit Mahina Vegan Table.
