Last friday, I visited a recently opend vegan restaurant "NAMMI" in Seoul.
It is very difficult to being a vegan in Seoul, because most food are made with or include non-vegan ingredients even if the food looks like vegan such as Bibimbab(It usually includes egg or meet)
Recently, more vegan or vegetarian restaurants are opening in Seoul, but most of them are concentrated in specific area such as HongDae or Itaewon areas.
This new restaurant "NAMMI" is located near "Sadang" subway station, the area which is one of the major transportation point in Seoul but not vegan-friendly. My vegan friend who lives nearby was so excited and we ran to taste it!
A neat and simple exterior, not like other restaurants in this area :)
Very clean as it is recently opened. This place is running by two Columbian people, so it is "NAMMI" which is Korean word meaning for "South America". A nice and exciting South American music was playing.
Sour and Spicy Ramen
Gilled baguette is served for free before meal, and we ordered a Ramen. I don't know it is whether South American dish or not, but it tasted very unique. A little sour and also spicy. Different from Japanese Ramen. (9000 won)
Next is a Vegan Cheese Vegetable Pizza (11000 won). Roasted vegetable and a homemade vegan cheese. It was very delicious and crunchy!
Spinach and Tofu Calzone (11000 won). This must be an authentic South American dish!! I've never had this kind of food before. :) It was very crunchy and filled with very hearty tofu and spinich mixture.
A Fries with Cuban Sauce (6000 won). They served this for free :) Very kind restaurant! I couldn't believe this cuban sauce is vegan! It really taste like cedar cheese! Actually it was my favorite food in this restaurant :)
I took a photo of all menus :) You can also have beer , coffee, smoothe and they also have crepe, homemade dessert! Next time I'd like to try crepe and dessert. Can't wait to try on those menus :)
