Nestled in the heart of South Korea, Légume is not just a restaurant—it’s a culinary revelation. Under the visionary guidance of Chef Sung Si-woo, this Michelin-recognized vegan establishment redefines fine dining with an entirely plant-based menu that dazzles the senses. Every dish is a testament to the chef’s lifelong passion for vegetables, transformed into contemporary, imaginative, and deeply flavorful creations.

Why Légume Stands Out

  • 100% Vegan Michelin Dining – A rare gem where plant-based cuisine meets haute gastronomy.

  • Seasonal & Sustainable – Ingredients are meticulously sourced, aligning with eco-conscious practices.

  • Art on a Plate – Each course is a visual and sensory masterpiece, challenging perceptions of vegan food.

  • Korean Influence, Global Appeal – Traditional flavors meet modern techniques for a universally captivating experience.

A Journey Through the Menu

The degustation menu is an ever-evolving celebration of nature’s bounty. Recent highlights include:

  • Green Pea Velouté – A silky, vibrant opener.

  • Tomato Consommé – Clear, intense, and layered with umami.

  • Cauliflower Steak – Smoky, tender, and luxuriously topped with vegan caviar (optional upgrade).

  • Truffle & Hazelnut Sorbet – A surprising, decadent intermezzo.

  • Lavender-Infused Dessert – A fragrant, delicate finale.

The Légume Philosophy

Beyond exquisite flavors, Légume is committed to sustainability, striving for carbon neutrality without compromising luxury. Dining here isn’t just a meal—it’s participation in a global movement toward mindful eating.

Final Verdict

Légume isn’t just for vegans—it’s for anyone who appreciates innovation, artistry, and sustainability in fine dining. A must-visit for culinary adventurers and eco-conscious gourmands alike.
