The best Vegetarian & Vegan Korean Food in Korea

Vegetable-forward Korean cooking centers on mountain-vegetable set meals (sanchae-jeongsik) and temple cuisine, built on seasonal greens, roots, and fermented bases rather than meat. The best vegetarian & vegan korean food in Korea tends to come from the places that have lasted: each of these 16 restaurants is an officially recognized 백년가게, a business the Korean Ministry of SMEs certifies for 30 or more years of continuous operation. Korea's restaurant scene turns over fast, so a place still running after decades has earned the word "best." Pick one near you and open it in your own map app for photos, hours, and directions.
