Whole-Food Plant-Based Traditional Bapsang Lunch & Fusion Dinner

Fully vegan eatery with several allium-free options available. They serve traditional Korean bapsang-style cuisine for lunch, and Western-Korean fusion dishes such as pasta for dinner, all of which are whole-food plant-based without processed mock meats or substitutes. They also prioritise using organic, pesticide-free, and domestically-grown ingredients. The items I ordered were all fresh, flavourful, and filling! Staff members were also lovely, giving us hot yuja citron tea on the house when they saw that my companion was cold and tired, and sending me a kind message on social media after I visited. Would highly recommend visiting (but please take note of their selected opening days and hours)! Near Jung-Ang Metro Station, also within walking distance from the 40-Step Culture & Tourism Theme Street, Trick Eye Museum, Busan Tower at Yongdusan Park, etc.

Seasonal lunch plate made with love

Fine meal, there are 2 lunch options and for dinner 5 options. There’s also some smaller plates as well. I did the lunch, we ordered 2 lunch options one was with brown rice and seaweed and the other was with eggplant. It was really delicious.

Ottima cena

Ci siamo recati in questo ristorante per la cena, la ragazza che ci ha servito parla un ottimo inglese oltre ad essere molto gentile.
Abbiamo provato gli gnocchi, la pasta coreana con le verdure, e verdure alla piastra. Porzioni abbondanti che vi consiglio di dividere tra i commensali.

Super

Heerlijke vegan gerechten, wij waren rond 20 uur-waardoor niet alles nog aanwezig was, maar wat er was was zeer smaakvol. Gnocchi was favoriet.

Pros: Leuke plek, Super vriendelijk personeel

Délicieux !

Délicieux restaurant vegan à Busan. Les plats sont savoureux, l'accueil chaleureux et le décor apaisant ! Attention, il faut penser à réserver car il n'y a pas beaucoup de tables !

The nicest people

They weren't open when I came by on a rainy Saturday but they let us in anyway and served the set lunch meal. The meal is a basic Korean lunchbox made vegan and full of pungent, sour, savory, fermented goodness. The mushrooms are a treat.

Pros: Kind people, Interesting flavors

In love with this food!

We had dinner at Obuthan. We saw it has a lot of good reviews, but were a bit unsure about the menu as it didn't seem very korean. They use local and seasonal ingredients and all my doubts went away after starting to taste the food. We ordered the korean style pasta with seaweed and the potato gnocchi with spinach sauce. It was delicious!! I couldn't get enough of that spinach sauce.
The space is very calm and pleasant and the staff polite and kind.
Give it a try if you can.

Edit: I forgot to mention the fried rice cakes, which we ordered to start the meal. Very tasty! Cooked with salt, pepper, garlic, I believe. Would order again.

Lovely place with kind people

I had lunch at this restaurant! They are according to people usually super booked, but because I was on my own I could have lunch just fine. The staff treats you very well! The lady even let me try the special herb beforehand, so I could decide which menu to get. The lunch menu was a seasonal menu, so it might change in summer. But I really liked the tofu and side dishes!

Pros: Amazing Food, Staff speaks English and have English Menu, You get treated like a special guest 🥰

Lovely

Very kind owners, chill atmosphere with nice music and wine. The pasta was delicious, my favourite was the Korean style pasta (garlic yummm). Also the fried vegetables tasted very fresh and nutritious. For me personally it lacked a bit of salt but my boyfriend thought it was perfect the way it was. Bit on the pricey side (16.000 - 18.000 won per dish), but worth it after we saw how much love went into every single meal.

Super delicious

We had both the fried vegetables and the grilled cauliflower with rice cakes. Especially the cauliflower with the rice cakes was super delicious! It was a bit pricy but I can still highly recommend it.

Nice atmosphere

The restaurant had a calm vibe that I really appreciated, and the staff was lovely. Differently from the other all vegan places in Busan, it's not associated to the Supreme Master, and it offers alcohol, including craft beers. My favorite was the fried rice cake.
We went a second time, but for lunch, and the food was even more impressive, and with a really good price for the quality of the set. Definitely one of the best restaurants in Busan.

Tasty Dinner

Very tasty dinner. We had a mushroom platter as a first course and then baked cauliflower and pasta with mushrooms as a main course. All three dishes were very good.
There is a small but interesting selection of wine and beer.
The staff speaks very good English.
It's a bit expensive, but it's definitely worth it.

Pros: Food, Selection of beverages, Staff

Too expensive for what it is

Pros: Nice service in English with a few dishes at choice. The restaurant looked cosy and nice.

Cons: Quiet expensive (18.000WON) for a bit of vegetables fried and also burned in a pan. They also used a bit too much salt.

Pros: Free appetizer, Location

Cons: Price, Vegetables were burned a bit, Too much salt

A bit hard to find but worth the search

Thanks to an elderly Korean gentleman, I was able to find this little gem - and I am glad he helped. Very welcoming place, nice English speaking service that explains the menu and ingredients well, good food and delicious barley water. It’s a bit on the pricier side, but it’s money well spent.

Absolutely delicious

I went with a group of non vegans and they were so amazed at everything here. We got almost everything on the menu and shared. Even the plate of veggies and cauliflower was spectacular.
Not to mention the chamomile tea was a nice pairing. Super nice staff and delicious food.

No ifs no Obuts

Good quality, healthy vegan set lunch for only 12,000 won. A little on the plain / unexciting side - hence 4 rather than 5 stars.
