나눌터 — Restaurant in Suncheon-si

This restaurant specializes in acorn-based dishes and creates unconventional and curious food that attracts even regular Koreans.

There are a couple of dishes that are either vegan by default or can be veganized upon request. For example, their cold noodles with spicy sauce (쟁반국수) and the acorn jelly salad (도토리묵무침) are vegan. The Bibimbap or noodle soups have egg toppings, but if you tell them in advance what you don't eat, they can omit those ingredients for you. They assured me that the soup base also didn't contain anchovies.

Update 2023: Staff told me that their dishes deep-fried acorn jelly with sweet and sour sauce (도토리탕수), sweet-and-sour mushrooms (표고버섯탕수) and acorn pancake (토속전) contain egg now. ⚠️

I don't care for acorn jelly, so I didn't expect much from this restaurant. Much to my surprise, it was an absolute delight. I have returned at least six or seven times and have never been disappointed. The quantity and quality are both good for the price; come hungry and with friends. My favorite is the mock tangsuyuk. This is a great restaurant for vegetarians...

Probably our favourite restaurant in all of Korea.

The food was brilliant. They offered a vegetarian option and I do not feel we missed out at all by not eating meat.

They did a sort of acorn soup and various things, the owner was very polite. They talked us through the menu and what we ate. You could tell there is a lot of passion in the food. A high...
