LEGUME

This review is a bit delayed but our dinner at Legume in May 2025 was spectacular! The menu was creative and seasonal, and every dish hit the spot with both the presentation and taste. My favorite was the mushroom steak, and my partner liked gnocchi the most. But the hazelnut truffle ice cream was the absolute star of the show (you have to pay extra for it but you don't want to miss it!). The staff was very attentive and friendly, and they even gave us a small chocolate cake on the house to celebrate our anniversary. Overall, a beautiful place for a special occasion, can't recommend it enough!

Picked this one in a short trip coz their high marks. Totally disappointment after all. Very ordinary food and not yummy. The biscuit … never try this on fine dining menu & really … BAD. The “lollipop” tastes weird with strong flavour cream mixed with tomato?? As the staff didn’t explained well what the food was, which I wrapped it in tissue paper after mouth for a second. The soup, very simple veggie soup, I really can’t taste any special differs from most low end & mid range restaurants, but this is Michelin 1 star, at least you have some expectation… so much disappointed! The cauliflower… tasted bitter, couldn’t finish after a small bite. all dishes I couldn’t finish but only the mushroom taste the best 🤢 I doubted the chef has tasted his food before giving to their guests?! Lastly, funny their tea has no taste, maybe they are too caring for “decaf” tea. But this would be the special “decaf” tea I tried. Never go again!! No wonder Sat dinner half empty.

I rarely leave reviews on Google Maps, but after reading the previous one—which was shockingly negative—I felt compelled to share my experience. Honestly, I can’t understand how someone could be so bitter and ill-mannered (they even admitted to spitting food into a tissue—seriously?). That says far more about the reviewer than about the restaurant itself. My overall impression was very positive. The staff is not only polite and professional but also warm and welcoming, making guests feel at ease. They showcase the plating process and treat everyone with genuine kindness. The food was good, with a few truly outstanding moments. The macadamia ice cream, in particular, sparked a funny memory from my past—a rare and delightful quality in a dish. The restaurant is located in a new building on the second floor of a fancy shopping (?) center. While the space is small, the attentive staff ensures that guests feel comfortable, and any initial sense of tightness quickly fades. I really appreciated that.

One of the best Michelin restaurants I have been…everything was full of flavors and rich textures. Special kudos to chef and team!

What a great dining experience! Every dish was unique and delicious, full of great flavor combinations. Mushroom steak was my personal favorite, extremely juicy! And oh, hojicha and red beans ice cream was just another level, very very good. Great team working there! They speak English and give really good explanations of every dish

Highly highly recommended. Husband and I had previously tried the plant-based menu at Eleven Madison Park and not impressed so we were nervous about Legume BUT we were blown away. Every single dish that they brought out was flavorful and was hard to choose a favorite! Even if you are not vegan or vegetarian, you must try this place, it will not disappoint. We can’t wait to visit Korea again and eat here again!

I didn't think that vegan food could be so delicious; the dishes were also beautiful and meticulous down to the smallest details, each dish accompanied by a short explanation from their lovely staff. The variety of dishes served one after the other made the whole thing a special culinary experience and not just for vegans

Légume is an exceptional vegan and sustainable restaurant. The menu showcases beautifully crafted dishes, using seasonal ingredients. The interior design and atmosphere makes you feel at a very peaceful environment. The service is top-notch, and this is undoubtedly a rising star in the culinary world. It’s only a matter of time before this restaurant earns a Michelin Star, at least personally I give it an higher rating than some 1 and even 2 Michelin stars I have been.
