Korean temple food at sanchon restaurant - buddhist vegetarian cuisine that meat eaters love

Sanchon in insadong serves traditional buddhist temple cuisine completely vegetarian but incredibly satisfying. Set menu (45000 krw) includes 20+ small dishes using techniques that make vegetables taste like meat. Kimchi here made without fish sauce they serve mock fish made from tofu honestly better than actual fish. Reservations essential especially for weekend temple food experience where they explain each dish. Expensive for korean standards but unesco-level cultural heritage cooking. Even hardcore carnivores leave impressed
