The menu still features Italian dishes like pasta and risotto, and they are happy to make certain dishes vegan upon request. The staff is friendly, and the food is decent.

I visited based on a recommendation from Happy Cow, but it seems the menu has changed since the last review. Despite being advertised as a vegan-friendly establishment, the options seemed limited. However, compared to many other places in Korea, it is still a decent option. The entrees are clearly labeled as vegan, with five options available and a coconut pudding dessert. I ordered the risotto and fried veggies (eggplant and mushrooms). Although I was hoping the eggplant would be similar to eggplant parmigiana, it was not. The fried mushrooms, however, were delicious. Unfortunately, the fried veggies arrived before the risotto, causing them to get cold while I waited. After a long wait for the risotto, the waitress informed us it would be another 17 minutes and offered a free drink. I wish there were more vegan options available considering the restaurant's advertising.

The atmosphere is fantastic and the music playlist adds to the overall experience. I tried the cauliflower steak and my companion had the risotto, both of which were delicious. However, the portion sizes were a bit small for sharing between two people. Despite that, I believe it's a wonderful spot and I highly recommend it. Just be ready to order multiple dishes and treat it as a special occasion. They offer a selection of wines by the glass and bottle, as well as a vegan dessert option.

If you want to order the vegan coconut pudding, make sure to order it early on. The chef needs 15-20 minutes to prepare it and make it pretty. Order it while you’re eating your food so you won’t have to wait so long. The staff speaks English quite well: The staff were super nice, too. I’ll be back on my next trip for more vegan goodness!
