Great meal with vegan options marked - Edit
Great meal. Restaurant is Italian/Euro inspired with dishes like pizza and pasta. The basil oven pizza was amazing. Vegan options are clearly marked.

Deep dive into a novel - Edit
Ok now this place is amazing. It's like entering a fairytale. There were plants and water and shelves with books. And the food tastes amazing as well.

Amazing pizza and interior! - Edit
The pesto pizza is potentially the nicest pizza I've had in Korea! The building is really interesting and pretty, plus they also have good wine. Really nice atmosphere! I can't wait to go back.

Good lunch - Edit
Our lunch was good but we had come here to get the breakfast plate with pancakes and were told while ordering they didn’t have the ingredients for it. Pesto dish was quite oily.

Nice and slow - Edit
Everything on the menu looks so good,, but alas there is only so much 3 people can eat. The dishes were well presented, beautiful, and delicious. A dish portion is large enough for sharing between 2 people. When we visited, there was only one wait staff. Considering the time it took for our dishes to arrive, I would classify this place as a slow-food place which is a good thing in my book.
Read moreReservation is done through catchtable app which may not be user friendly for those visiting from other countries. I reserved using the Korean version of the app and had no problem. There is an English version of the app, but I don't know how user friendly it is.

Beautiful - Edit
A very unique setting, with lots of character and personality. The food is tasty and the dishes are quite sofisticate.
Read moreI live just a couple of blocks away and this is my go-to place when I fo out with guests.
Also the coffee shop on the same property is worth a visit. A one-of-a-kind experience.
Pros: Beautiful decor , Lots of variety , Unique setting, inside and out.

Must visit! - Edit
Firstly ensure you have a reservation!
Read moreFood here was incredible. Portions are huge so go with a big appetite. Pizza is a must 🤩good amount of choice on the menu.
Setting and interior is really sweet, if you’re seated downstairs ask if you can be nosey and have a peep upstairs if plants and interiors are your thing!
Staff were lovely and spoke to us about the vertical farm. Price is well aligned to food and service.
Pros: Menu offering, Setting , Atmosphere

Vibes - Edit
Super cute restaurant, and tasty food!
Read moreWe ordered the falafel 9.5/10 so fresh and delicious! The tomato pizza, 8.5/10 the sauce they use on the base was fire!! The vegan cheese didn’t have much flavour though😒lastly the pesto pasta, 7/10 pretty good, super oily and not as flavourful as the rest of the dishes we got.
Pros: Diverse menu , Really fast service , All vegan and soy free options
Cons: Not much gluten free , Expensive

Really good! - Edit
So happy I came here. It really is an experience much like the cafe around the corner. They have a great selection of starters, soups, pastas and pizzas. I had the enchilada and my friend had the green pesto pasta. They were both delicious. The enchilada is on the spicy side. My friend also tried the pumkin soup which was a bit too sweet for our liking. Overall, the taste was good, the atmosphere is nice and the staff are really friendly. Will definitely come back.
Read moreI recommend making a reservation on catchtable or you may have to wait at busy times. But the good thing is if you have to wait you can go to savage garden.
Pros: All vegan, A lot of options , Friendly staff
Cons: Heavy cutlery

Fav restaurant in Korea - Edit
The fully immersive experience, the exceptional food, everything about this place is such a delight. The pumpkin soup tasted a little like pancakes, but everything else was wonderful. Even came back a second time to enjoy it once more.

Western-style brunch - Edit
It's actually a lunch/dinner spot, but their brunch plate is amazing. It has the crispiest hashbrowns, just egg scramble, rice paper bacon, banana pancakes, tomato and salad.
Read moreHighly recommend going if you're starting to miss a western-style breakfast! The price is quite high but it's a huge serving so I think it's worth it.
I would like to try their other dishes as they look amazing, but I love their brunch so much I keep ordering it!
The venue itself is really cool. You might get seated in a super white futuristic space or their cosy book area.
I recommend booking unless you're getting there the second it opens on a weekday.

Pros: Western-style brunch option, Cool decor , Delicious and big servings

Carbs - Edit
I don’t remember when was the last time that I ate that many carbs, but I’m the only one to blame, me and my friend had pizza (tbh I don’t remember which one) and French toasts. Both were very good, unfortunately they did not have two things in menu that I wanted to order. The pizza was more spicy that I thought it will be, but I was fine just surprised.
Read moreThe place has two floors, down is restaurant and upstairs the cafe. The interior is itself worth seeing.
Pros: Interior , Big portions
Cons: A bit pricey , Carbs 😂

Botany Major concept - Edit
A very newly opened vegan restaurant, with the concept of 'University, Botany Major'.
Read moreMainly western style food: pasta, pizza, enchillada, salad, etc.
Their portions were surprisingly large! We ordered the pizza expecting a serving size for 1~2, but it was a serving size of at least 2~3 people!
The interior was very clean, a "laboratory" themed on the area we were seated.
Pros: Lots of vegan options , Great portions, Nice concept
Cons: Kind of hard to find

Great new place - Edit
It seemed like my friend and I ordered items which are too safe. We got a miso pasta and a tomato paella dish, and they were good. Just was not that impressive! I will go back to try brunch items. The space is really pretty!

Tasty! Pretty, a lil too many components - Edit
Taste was great, interior designs were so pretty but a little mmmm distracting? Cuz there r so many components . Cutlery was heavy everytime it clinked w plate or when i put it down i felt i was gonna break the dishes. Food was good portion, very tasty, a lil pricy. We could tell they poured alot into it. Pastas were good. Loved cabbage salad with chocolate sauce. For me they were all little salty cuz i usually dont eat salt much. I felt if everything were a little more simplified would be better and cost could be down a bit for more to enjoy

Favorite Dinner Place! - Edit
I just love this place! I’ve been here several time and tried a variety of dishes and all of them were outstanding! They are perfectly seasoned and have creative flavor combinations. The staff is very attentive and friendly and the location is so cool! On the first floor, you can either sit in a Harry Potter style library or in a clean, very modern lab. On the second floor between beautiful plants. Every time it’s a whole new experience. Highly recommended to visit!
