I found eating vegan in Jeju is a bit more difficult than in Seoul or Busan, but it’s not hopeless!
📖 Make sure to read my Essential Vegan Food in Korea Travel Guide (updated 2024).
While there are vegan restaurants in Jeju, they’re located sparsely throughout the island, and if you aren’t driving a car, the only way to get there is by traveling Jeju by bus. Plus, if you’re out all day exploring Jeju, you might miss their opening hours.
Still, the vegan and vegetarian food in Jeju are fresh and tasty, including the best vegan donuts I’ve ever eaten!

I had their veef burger and bulgogi burger, as well as the chocolate tiramisu cake. Everything was so good!

Vegan Food Options in non-Vegan Restaurants in Jeju
📍Usual Coffee
Address: 11, Donam-ro 13-gil, Jeju, South Korea
Page: www.instagram.com/usual_coffee
Located in Jeju City in the north, Usual Coffee serves donuts and hot and cold drinks. All of their donuts are vegan and they have vegan milk options, but they do serve dairy milk options, so be sure to specify for drinks.
I’ve tried vegan donuts from multiple countries, and these were the best ones I’ve ever tried.
They’re fluffy on the inside but have a nice crisp on the outside and the sweetness is just right. Prices are around $2 USD per donut.
📍Dasoni Restaurant
Address: 24 Onam-ro 6-gil, Jeju-si, Jeju-do, South Korea
Dasoni located in Jeju City is probably one of the most well known restaurants in Jeju for vegan and vegetarian food.
It’s been unconfirmed whether or not their kimchi contains fish sauce, though.
Dasoni serves traditional Korean temple food. Some reviews say their food is bland, but I found the food so fresh, comforting, and filling!
I got the Perilla seed soup with hand cut buckwheat dumplings (deulkkae sujebi) for $7 USD and buchim potato Korean pancakes for $4.50 USD. You also get several sides.
Their other vegan options include acorn jelly salad, kalguksu perilla seed soup with noodles, bimimbap and yeonnipbap, or lotus leaf rice.
Their seating is floor seating and you take your shoes off prior to entering. I would definitely go here again!
📍Lotteria
I found it more difficult eating vegan in Seogwipo City near all of the main tourist sites.
So in comes Lotteria, a popular burger chain throughout South Korea. They serve the vegan Miracle burger and for $5 USD a whole set with drinks and fries.
I really enjoyed the burger and had it a few times in different cities. There’s multiple Lotteria’s throughout Jeju and one located in Seogwipo near the Seogwipo Olle Market.
🍚 If you’re looking for fully-vegan restaurants in Seogwipo, you can go a bit farther east for Loving Hut Jeju, or west for Sunshine Walk, a fine-dining vegan restaurant in Jeju. Note the limited opening hours for both.
A vegan restaurant in northern Jeju I haven’t tried yet: Lans Kitchen.
