"It’s no easy feat to invent dignified and alluring cuisine that is based only on plant ingredients. Yet, Chef Sung Si-woo at Légume pulls it off with panache. The chef’s fondness for veggies since childhood has led to a deeper understanding of vegetarian diets, which, coupled with his unique perspective, has given birth to his one-of-a-kind delicacies. In pursuit of 100 percent vegan cuisine, this eatery has perfected a refined vegetarian dining style that transcends the provision of mere plant-based meals, thereby highlighting the diversity and direction of Korean vegetarian cuisine. At Légume, sensorial contemporary cuisine meets the chef’s seasoned skills and is transformed into a vegan menu with a distinct identity and imaginative flavors. The evident truth is that the kitchen’s vegan fare not only appeals to vegetarians but also to people with a wide range of palates." - Michelin Inspector
"Meaning “well-groomed” in French, Soigné lives up to its name with its elegant menu, inspired by global cuisine with distinct undertones of Korea’s culinary philosophy. Chef Lee Jun’s creations are both creative and modern, but the local ingredients he uses always take on the starring roles in his meticulously curated “episodes,” each with its own unique color and lyrical flow. Try the suggested wine pairings for the full gustatory experience." - Michelin Inspector

"At Soigné in Seoul, Lee is known for his episodic menus where the restaurant’s entire food offerings change from season to season according to themes. The current episode 20 is named 'Aroma,' which focuses on presenting each course as a different scene with aroma as the focus. It opens with a snack called “Cinnamon Stick” where guests are invited to identify the edible cinnamon stick amongst the real cinnamon sticks. Guests are usually quite pleased when they find the edible cinnamon stick. It’s like a treasure hunt for them." - Rachel Tan
