Across the street from the WA Bar and around the corner from the big cinema. . . not so far from the bus terminals.
A fairly typical boribap buffet– this one doesn’t bill itself as vegetarian, and it isn’t in the strictest sense. Still– 90+% of the offerings are vegan, and those that aren’t veggie are obvious. (That said, I didn’t try the kimchi for fish/shrimp, but no need with so much good stuff on hand!)

Alas, I still lament my computer skills are not sufficient to make VegetarianKorea fully interactive, so others could talk between themselves, etc. I STILL TOTALLY WELCOME THE HELP OF ANYONE WHO CAN MAKE IT SO!!!

I’ve linked the Seoul Veggie Club and other community websites, but I’d also like to suggest that people who haven’t already done so, check out http://www.couchsurfing.com/ and http://www.hospitalityclub.org/. Both of these sites cater to travellers looking for like-minded folks, and have groups for vegetarians. You can even search for other veggies in your location or intended location. Another popular networking site, Facebook, also has a group for veggies in Korea!

That said, I’ll be back in Korea in March, on an extended road trip writing and researching a rock-climbing guidebook. I’ll be looking for warm floors to sleep on (I’ll be happy to cook some great veggie meals in exchange!!) as I flit around. Y’all are also welcome to join me on my mission– you don’t have to be a rock-climber! If you can belay (or want to learn!), great, but sometimes I’ll just be checking out (beautiful) areas, taking photos, counting bolts, etc. . .

E-mail me or post if you have the time and space, esp say March 12-April (I have a car, so I really just need the .67mX2m for myself to sleep, though sometimes I curl up in a ball so it’s more like 1.5mX1.5m). . . I also have lots of cooking equiptment, a fold-out grill, etc. . . unfortunately my blender died before I left Korea, but if YOU have one, great!!!
