This excellent wine bar is a Jeju highlight! 5 Stars! - Edit

Tldr; excellent 2 vegan dishes, great atmosphere in the side room, owner is super friendly. Lots of great wines. Place only has 3 tables, might want to reserve.

We came across this wine bar after seeing some great reviews here. For once the address posted here was correct, and it was in walking distance from our stay.

First of all, this is a place that while it's not vegan, it serves two vegan dishes that are simply extraordinary. It pains me not being able to leave a five star review here.

I am not even sure what the actual menu has, or what is normally served here, but after being seated by the owner, we stated we were vegan and he told us about the only two options; the plant based steak and the vegan home made pasta. Both options were divine.

The steak was very meaty and had a great texture and flavor, and it was served with a bunch of grilled veggies and mashed potatoes mixed with cauliflower. The grilled veggies were a bit different between our three visits, so I guess it depends on stock/season.

The homemade pasta was a bit like gnocchi, but bigger and pan fried. Maybe a gnocchi/tteokbokki? It was melting in your mouth soft on the inside, and crispy outside. Served on a great freshly made pesto and accompanied by two slices of garlic bread with homemade vegan cheese.

The place is very atmospheric, adorned with nice furniture with a few nice quotes sprinkled around. The highlight is the location of the third table, which is separated from the test behind a door. A dark room surrounded by wine bottles and a faintly dimmed light that gives a whole psychedelic vibe. Felt as if we were in Alice's Wonderland. For added ambiance, the bar plays a playlist of chill spiritual electronic music which just completed the package.

The place offers a wide selection of wines, and we trusted the owner to pick something for us each time. We were always impressed by his great choices, and my partner who usually hates wine found them all great. Only 3 tables total, so take that into account.

Owner is incredibly friendly talented and an all-around great person to talk with, passionate about his work and the wine world. Speaks good English and does everything himself.

I wish I had better skills at taking pictures, or I could somehow share how tasty everyone was. I sadly have no pictures of the fancy room, as we only took a video of it.

If I had to name one reason to visit Jeju for, it would be this place. Never been to a place more deserving of 5 stars.

Truly hope this is a full Vegan Restaurant!! - Edit

They only have 2 dish that is Vegan. Pasta Gnocchi and Mushroom steak.
We didn't manage to have the mushroom steak as ingredients was out.
But the Gnocchi and bread was yummy!!
For not having the steak, owner gave us his dinner. Lol! He felt bad and provided us with more food.
Please make reservation before coming.
Exotic vibes and good drinking place.

Would give 5 stars if I could - Edit

Firstly, it’s such a cosy intimate place and the vibes are really cool and unlike anywhere I’ve been before. They had two vegan options on the menu — vegan steak and gnocchi and both were amazing! The steak was house made and had a really nice smoky flavour and the gnocchi was soft, pillowy and went really well with the pesto and cheesy bread. We also had a glass of wine which was vegan as well. Not usually huge on wine but it was delicious.

The owner was really kind and also brought out a plate of fig salad with chipotle hummus which he’s recipe testing at the moment and might bring out in the near future!

Cozy & Delicious - Edit

It's a really nice little restaurant, a bit further away from central Jeju. But the food tastes really good and the small size of the place, along with the homey decor makes the stay very pleasant.
The owner is also very very kind. I can recommend this restaurant and hope more people visit it. While there are only two vegan options, they taste great!
