Eating with Seoul; Meet the women behind Korea’s Vegan Movement

It’s no secret that since moving to Korea I have struggled to stick to a plant-based diet. In fact, there has been a running theme throughout my blogs recently, focusing on finding vegan havens amidst a country of meat-loving carnivores. But during my short year in Korea I have witnessed a new found appreciation of veganism – with more restaurants opening, small events dotted around the city and the newly elected President promising to make South Korea a better place for animals, as well as people. As this community grows, there are three women to thank – and I had the pleasure of meeting two of them just before the 3^rd Vegan Festival Korea.

Eating with Seoul: my top vegan restaurants in the city

The soul of Seoul is the food. It’s the city that never stops; 24-hour restaurants, themed cafés and home to some of the biggest food markets in the world. It’s not unusual to find most needs catered for relatively easily whilst strolling around in the twilight hours. Since moving to here in 2016, I’ve been documenting the ins and outs of being a vegan in Korea – and I have finally collected enough information (aka, eaten a ridiculous amount) to introduce my top vegan restaurants in Seoul!
