VISIT JEJU

If you're looking for a meal that highlights the natural flavors of vegetables, without relying on artificial additives, Jeju Mellow has you covered: This vegetarian restaurant in Seogwipo serves meals that are good for both your body and the Earth. Jeju Mellow’s menu features vegetarian dishes made with organic vegetables, along with gluten-free options like brown rice noodles. They also offer fully vegan dishes, free of any animal products.

The restaurant strictly follows zero-waste and no-plastic policies, so if you opt for takeout, your meal will come in eco-friendly packaging. Being able to enjoy sustainable consumption with environmentally friendly containers adds even more value to your meal. After all, you’re getting both delicious food and contributing to eco-friendly practices! Additionally, Jeju Mellow is designated as a 'Good Price' restaurant, which ensures reasonable prices, along with verified hygiene and service. It was also featured in VisitJeju's June event highlighting Good Price restaurants.

After parking, follow the pastoral stone fences to reach Jeju Mellow. The building isn’t particularly large, but the atmosphere is warm and inviting. The interior is simple, with wooden decor and shelves of books. There’s a four-person table and a two-person table, but due to the small space, the restaurant cannot accommodate groups of five or more. 

The menu is packed with healthy dishes. One item that stood out to me was the Five Grain Lotus Leaf Bapsang Lunchbox. This set includes rice with five grains steamed in a lotus leaf, soup, three types of salad, eight side dishes, and soybean paste with golden oak mushrooms, all made with a medicinal broth. It even comes with a dessert.

Other popular dishes include the Mushroom Cream and Brown Rice Risotto and Brown Rice, Mushroom, Vegetable Bibimbap, both made with organic brown rice. The risotto features seasonal mushrooms and a rich, handmade cream sauce that highlights the mushrooms’ natural flavors. It can also be made vegan with soybean cream. The bibimbap is topped with stir-fried vegetables and mushroom, seasoned with bamboo salt, and red chili paste. Both dishes use organic brown rice. Other options, such as Brown Rice Cake Soup with Perilla Seeds and Medicinal Broth follow the theme of being mild in flavor and easy to digest.

Jeju Mellow serves up heartfelt values for both you and the Earth with every meal. The food, prepared with care, will make your time with loved ones even more memorable. Whether you’re looking for a healthy meal, want to practice eco-friendly consumption, or simply need a gentle and nourishing dish, head to Jeju Mellow and dine for both your body and the Earth.
