Nice

Lovely staff and gorgeous ambience, but I found the food and drink average.
The pasta was nice but so oily. I like an oil based pasta but this was dripping in a very thin oil. Bread on the side was hard as a rock and covered in syrupy sweet balsamic.
Ginger ade was lovely looking but honestly as it sat with the garnishes in it it began to taste like a candle.
The menu did not describe what any of the ingredients were - such as the tacos and the ‘sourdough sandwich’ got no further explanation. I of course asked but it felt so awkward in our broken language communication and in the very intimate setting.

Pros: Ambience , Good portion , Friendly staff

Cons: Expensive , Average food , Limited and unexplained menu

6/5 Stars; Absolutely worth a detour.

This place is simply amazing. We tried almost every dish they offer and I recommend every one of them.
Price on average for a Meal and a Drink for our group was 26200 WON per person.

Never had a bad meal

Very friendly and English speaking owners. Changing menu with western themes. Best atmosphere and best vegan restaurant in Busan! Can be hard to find, look for sign by stairs.

Vegan refuge in Busan!

Lovely small restaurant run by 2 very funky and sweet people. Cool tunes, interesting menu. Great place for a fully vegan meal in Busan. Our food did not take long to arrive at all.

Pros: Fully vegan , Nice ambience

Cons: Some dishes more suited for lunch, but were tasty.

Bomb food!

Food is great, small restaurant so service takes a while but so worth it! Staff is also very nice!
Price is a bit higher but the food makes up for it.
Will definitely visit again!

Absolutely Amazing Food

There aren't many tables, but they should always be full! The food was amazing and portion sizes were perfect. The staff spoke English. The restaurant is on the 3rd floor and hard to notice from the street if you're not looking for it. They have twinkly lights in their window.

Cons: Seaweed pesto (summer special)

Quintessential vegan Cafe

As you might deduct from the name, this place has got the coziest vibes. It feels like vegan cafes from the 90s, and I mean that in a good way

Pros: Great vibes, Great food , N/A Peanut Butter Beer

Small but tasty menu

There were six options on the menu when I went and I had the tomato pasta. It was delicious, a large portion and game with pesto garlic bread which was a nice surprise.

I also had the ginger-ade which was delicious and quite elaborate.

I’d definitely recommend.

The best vegan place in Busan

I had a seaweed pesto pasta and a pizza here. They both tasted really good. Portions could be bigger, and my pasta was a bit too oily, but things were good enough. I was on a date here and the atmosphere was nice too. Definitely worth a visit!

Great food, great vibes

This is such a cute little place. I was so happy to find good vegan food like this while travelling in South Korea. The seaweed pesto I had was so fresh! And the sangria was perfectly spiced. It felt like such a nice relaxed place away from the hubbub of the city.

Pros: Fresh, home-cooked meal

Difficult to find, limited options and food is not that good

The restaurant is very difficult to find. It's on the first floor however doesn't really have the name mentioned clearly downstairs. There are limited options available. Menu contained about 6-7 items only of which most of which were out of stock when we reached around 7:45 PM.
They only had pizza, rice bowl and sandwich available.
We ordered rice bowl which was not too good. And the sandwich bread was too hard and inside it was only apples, some greens with sauce. We were not able to finish both of them.

Excellent food and trendy atmosphere

It is upstairs, don't miss the small sign on street level! Super trendy place with funky Latin music, dimly lit and we loved the atmosphere. The food was amazing, the pizza base was perfectly crunchy and the pesto pasta had such a delicious flavour. Staff were friendly. We will definitely come back when next in Busan!

Cute place

Cute looking restaurant. The entrance is a little difficult to find. It's located on the third floor. Unfortunately they don't offer the burger anymore. Both the pasta and the tacos were really delicious :)
The owner speaks English very well and can advise you in case of allergies.
Worth a visit!

Necessary Vegan Restaurant for Busan

The lack of vegan food in Busan is quite disappointing but thank goodness HOME saves the day! They serve up healthy, delicious meals using local ingredients. I visited twice during my trip and was extremely pleased with both meals. The first meal I had was the BBQ Mushroom Sandwich which was full of flavor and served on rustic bread. The second was the Spring Pasta which had noodles done to perfection and accompanied by greens picked locally. The menu seems to change often. Both times there were 1-2 menu items that were sold out. It would be worth a visit whether there were tons of vegan restaurants in the area or none.

Delicious home cooked vegan food

Very delicious home cooked vegan food. The place was closed when I visited in Nov 2023 but I was lucky this time round. Serving portions was huge and the staff was friendly. Tried the Tomato Rose Pasta and it was well cooked. The texture of the pasta and tomato cream was perfect.

The restaurant is located on the 3rd floor of the building (3F) but there is a sign showing at the stairway entrance. #Veganuary

Brilliant food

Lovely restaurant, with a really cool vibe. Great food too, which was quite different to most of the meals we had in Korea. Had a fusion feel to it. Would highly recommend!

Feeling right at home

I was fortunate that this place was located only 2 min from my accommodation. What a lovely space with relaxing music, beautiful decor and details , and the food is delicious too. I got the tacos, and it was the first time not eating Korean food for 3 weeks. It was great. Service was good too. Definitely pricier than other places - but the atmosphere is worth it. You can feel right at home.

One of the best atmospheric restaurants I’ve ever been

The restaurant itself is very hidden near a nail studio „choco busy“. The entrance itself is also very hidden. But when you find it, the restaurant surprises you with a cozy and charmant atmosphere. It’s not very noisy and there is a wonderful smell, which is not food, everywhere. Also the lighting and the decorations are very harmonious. You can decide whether you want to stay in a air conditioned small room, where maybe 20 people can diner, or a small, not air conditioned room, where 6 people can eat or drink.

We decided ourself for the small 6 people room. At our stay we were the only two persons in this room. It was beautiful quiet with a little background music which wasn’t even a little bit disturbing. It was a nice playlist, with what I think, a handpicked selection.

The staff was very friendly and could speak a good amount of english, which seems to be a problem in most of South Korean cities. So this a very good point.

We (two persons) ordered the white wine of the house and for one person a bowl with fried and tasteful mushrooms which tasted a lot like chicken, so we needed to ask if it was really mushroom, but it was really mushroom, so big thanks to the wonderful cook of this meal, also the side dish, which was a salad and rice, were really delightful.
The other meal was a tofu burger with potato wedges and self made dips. Both meals tasted unique and very great. The menu itself is enough and the drink menu is opulent, therefore every person can find whatever they like. The prices are fair for what you get, and this is not a meal, this is an experience. You can pay with card or with cash.

This restaurant is a real hidden gem of busan and the whole meat loving industry/culture in South Korea and we will definitely get there one more time to taste the other meals.

I will definitely recommend this restaurant to every other person who visits Busan.

Pros: Ambiente, Meals, Staff

Cons: Could be a little bit better to find
