Traveling as a person with dietary requirements can be hard.
Whether you're vegan, vegetarian, allergic to certain foods, or follow
religious dietary laws, navigating meals in a new country—especially one
where food culture is rich but not always label-conscious—can be a daily
challenge.
Korea, for all its incredible cuisine, is no exception.
Hidden ingredients like anchovy broth, fish sauce, or egg toppings are
common, and the concept of "vegan" is still unfamiliar to many.
This website was created with vegan travelers in mind, but it can also serve as a
useful reference for vegetarians and others with specific dietary needs.
