Osegyehang
A clean, modern vegetarian restaurant run by members of a Taiwanese religious sect. The food combines all sorts of mixtures and flavours, and is proving to be popular. The pumpkin slices garnished with cinnamon and nuts tastes much better than it sounds, and the barbecue-meat-substitute dish is flavoursome. The food is original and worth trying – although noodles in red-bean soup could be a step too far. Non-alcoholic beer and wine is served.

Sanchon
The atmosphere created by the Buddhist artworks, music and lanterns makes this a very special restaurant. In addition, the owner, Kim Yun-sik – an ex-monk – is an expert on Korean Buddhist temple food, and the vegetarian marinades, glazes and seasonings are unique. The same meal of 20 small courses is served at both lunch and dinner. The prices may not be very Buddhist, but the food and atmosphere are heavenly. Dancers and drummers perform nightly at 8pm.
