I had the rigatoni and creamy mushroom gnocchi.
Food was really yummy and I didn't taste any substitute in the gnocchi dish. It didn't taste like soy or anything in case you don't like that.
They have main dishes, one side dish, desserts, coffees, wine and beer and everything is vegan.
The atmosphere is really cozy and warm, they have photographs and drawings on the wall made from Valerie and the cook.
Really recommend even if you are not vegan.
But be patient as it might be full and they do not have many seats.

The owners are absolutely lovely. The food is tasty. The aesthetic is very Canadian and homey. If I have to be nit-picky, I would’ve preferred slightly bigger portions but the big chocolate chip cookie solved that real quickly. Didn’t even have time to take a picture of it before it was gone. Recommend for any vegan traveling to Seoul!
