Vegan & Vegetarian Street-Food Tour | Gwangjang Market, Seoul
I originally created this vegetarian tour for my family, who visited Korea from overseas and had a hard time finding true vegetarian food in busy markets. They wanted to taste authentic Korean market food, so I visited almost every stall, checked every ingredient, and sampled traditional dishes until I discovered hidden gems that highlight Korean cuisine in a plant-based way.
After designing this tour for my family, I started offering private vegetarian tours to other visitors, and the warm response inspired me to open this experience to everyone.
Since then I’ve upgraded every stop so that vegans feel just as safe — no meat, seafood, dairy, eggs, or honey are used.
On this tour, you'll explore Gwangjang Market like a local. I'll guide you through the lively alleys while sharing the stories behind each dish and the traditions they represent. You will taste +11 carefully chosen vegetarian and fully vegan versions of Korean dishes and drinks.
The line-up ranges from hearty traditional meals and satisfying noodle bowls to tasty snacks, sweet desserts, and refreshing Korean beverages.
One all-inclusive price covers every tasting, every drink, a fluent English guide, and hands-on tips for ordering and eating like a true Seoulite.
Rest assured, every dish itself is meat-, fish-, egg-, and dairy-free!
Let's experience an authentic Korean plant-based food trip in a way that you simply cannot experience on your own.
Important note: While all tastings are meat-, fish-, egg-, and dairy-free, Gwangjang is a traditional working market, so mild cross-contact may occur.
This tour is not suitable for strict gluten-free or severe allergies.
