8 Best Vegan Restaurants in Jeju Island (Review + Photos)
Eating vegan in Jeju Island takes more planning than in Seoul or Busan, since restaurants are spread out across the island and many have short opening hours.
But the food I did find was fresh, flavorful, and included the best vegan donuts I’ve ever had.
In this guide, I’ll share 8 vegan restaurants in Jeju worth visiting, plus non-vegan spots with good options, and tips for making it easier to eat vegan on the island.
Fully Vegan Restaurants in Jeju Island
1. And 유 (Yu) Café — Comfort Food & Desserts
And Yu is a cozy cafe located in the northwest of Jeju, accessible by bus.
They serve comfort dishes like “veef” burgers, sandwiches, beer-battered vegan shrimp, bulgogi burgers, and a display case of cakes, scones, and tarts.
I had their veef burger and bulgogi burger, as well as the chocolate tiramisu cake. Everything was so good!
This might be my favorite vegan restaurant in Jeju.
While you’re there, try their Jeju mandarin juice (Jeju is famous for their mandarins).
2. Loving Hut Jeju — Bibimbap, Stews & Global Staples
Loving Hut is located in the south of Jeju Island, east of Seogwipo City.
Loving Hut is part of a global vegan restaurant chain.
Loving Hut in Jeju serves stews, soy cutlet, bibimbap, ramen, and stir-fry meals.
They’re open only from 12-4pm each day, and are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, so plan accordingly.
3. Jeju 901 — Vegan Smoothie Bowls & Healthy Eats
Jeju 901 is a vegan cafe in Jeju that is part of a guesthouse and yoga studio.
They serve healthy and organic eats like smoothie bowls, sandwiches, salads, and soup.
You can also get raw desserts, fresh juices, and detox smoothies.
If you’re hiking the Eoseungsaengak trail of Hallasan Mountain from Jeju City, the bus stops right near Jeju 901 on the way to and back.
4. 치지레이지 CHEESYLAZY (UPDATE: Temporarily Closed)
CHEESYLAZY is an all-vegan sandwich shop in Jeju City. Their items include a tofu teriyaki sandwich, a grilled vegetable and vegan cheese sandwich, chickpea sandwich, soup, salad, and chili fries.
They also serve ice cream and housemade-kombucha.
Their sandwiches are $5 USD. I got the Tofu Teriyaki sandwich.
Everything tasted fresh and the owner and staff are really nice! I was given a small plate of Korean pears which were crisp and sweet.
5. LouLou Vegan — For Sweet Tooths Near Jeju City
LouLou vegan is a small vegan cafe in Jeju City in the north. They have a variety of baked goods and desserts like pecan pie, carrot cake, tiramisu, cookies, and muffins, as well as some savory items.
They are open four days a week. I definitely have to try next time I’m in Jeju!
6. Avec — Vegan Western Dishes Near the Airport
Address: 960, Aewolhaean-ro, Aewol-eup, Jeju
Avec is a vegan restaurant in Jeju that serves western food and is located near the airport.

Vegan Food Options in non-Vegan Restaurants in Jeju
8. Usual Coffee — Best Vegan Donuts
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 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, 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!
Last Resort Meal: 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.
