9 Best Vegan Restaurants in Jeju Island (Reviews + Photos)

ByRoseanne Ducut

Eating vegan in Jeju Island takes a bit more effort than in Seoul or Busan. With restaurants spread out and limited opening hours, planning ahead really helps.

I’ve visited Jeju three times—two using public transit and one with a rental car—and while buses make it a little tougher, I still found plenty of delicious meals worth seeking out.

Here’s 8 amazing vegan restaurants in Jeju to try, plus non-vegan spots with solid options and practical tips for navigating the island as a vegan.

1. And 유 (Yu) Café — Comfort Food & Desserts

Burger And Yu Cafe Vegan Jeju South Korea: A hearty vegan burger served on a rustic ceramic plate, featuring a whole-grain bun with layers of fresh lettuce, tomato, onion, and a vegan patty, topped with vegan mayonnaise and ketchup. The burger is accompanied by a side of colorful coleslaw and a few green beans. A tall glass of fresh orange juice is placed beside the plate on a woven coaster, enhancing the meal's vibrant and wholesome appeal. The setting is cozy and inviting, with a warm, relaxed atmosphere in the café.

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 very good and well-seasoned.

A fork rests on a piece of brown parchment paper beside the cake slice, highlighting its rich and decadent texture. The background shows a cozy café setting with intricate macramé decor.

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. Five Seventh 칠분의 오 — Fusion Oceanfront Meals

Five Seventh is a vegan restaurant in Jeju that is located near the north-eastern coastline near Woljeongri Beach.

They serve Western and Korean rice meals, burgers, pasta, and soups made with Jeju-grown vegetables.

We got the mushroom cream pasta, burger plate (grilled tofu patty), and fried tofu and vegan meat rice bowl, which I think was my favorite.

Foamy layered earl grey oat latter served in a faceted goblet on a wooden coaster. Cafe interior and window light blur in the background.

I also had the iced earl grey oat milk latte, and it’s one of the best drinks I’ve had. You have to try it!

Prices range around $12 USD for the main dishes.

It’s in a beautiful building near the beach, though is run by one person so don’t go in a hurry. Each dish was high-quality and tasty.

3. Lan’s Kitchen — Korean and Vietnamese Vegan Food

Lan’s Kitchen is an all-vegan restaurant in northern Jeju that serves both Korean and Vietnamese food run by a really friendly owner.

I got the solo grilled soy meat and mushroom kbbq where you grill it yourself on the table. Rice isn’t included so make sure to order a bowl!

Tray with vegan beef fried rice topped with bean sprouts a bowl of jajangmyeon with black bean sauce and crispy seaweed rolls with dipping sauce. Chopsticks and a wood grained tray frame the set.

My friend got the bulgogi fried rice, jjajangmyeon, and fried spring rolls.

It’s a smaller restaurant with limited seating but wasn’t busy when we went.

4. Cafe 901 — Smoothies & Healthy Eats

Vegan Food Options in Non-Vegan Restaurants

7. Dasoni Restaurant

Perilla seed soup with buckwheat dumplings (deulkkae sujebi) and buchim potato Korean pancakes - Dasoni Jeju Island

Dasoni located in Jeju City is a well-known restaurant 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 very fresh, comforting, and filling!

Outside Dasoni Vegan Food Jeju Island Korea: The exterior of Dasoni, a vegan restaurant on Jeju Island, South Korea, set within a lush, green environment. The building is partially covered in ivy, blending naturally with the surrounding trees and foliage. The entrance is inviting, with a pathway made of stone steps leading to the door, flanked by various stone sculptures and rustic decor elements. The overall ambiance is serene and harmonious, reflecting a deep connection with nature and the traditional aesthetics of Jeju Island.

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!

8. Tropical Hideaway Cafe (Southwestern Jeju)

Wooden tray with iced latte french fries and a Mediterranean plate of pita hummus falafel sautéed vegetables cherry tomatoes and green beans. The items are arranged neatly on a round tan plate.

Tropical Hideaway Cafe is a restaurant located right across the sea and near the popular Yongmeori Coast.

You order from a kiosk that has clearly-labeled vegan options.

I got the falafel plate, fries, and iced latte with plant milk.

While the falafel plate was small portions, it was really well-seasoned and still filling.

There’s plenty of parking and seating, plus you can take a quick walk along the sea after.

It’s a solid option if you’re not able to find something in the area.

9. Lavarr Cafe (Seogwipo City)

Lavarr is a cafe located near downtown Seogwipo and is open from 9am-11pm if you’re looking for breakfast or late-night eats.

I got the mushroom sandwich. The bread was perfectly crisp and the filling was well-seasoned.

There’s plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.

Last Resort Meal: Lotteria

Lotteria Vegan Miracle Burger set with fries and soda

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.
