Bad Farmers, restaurant exterior

Bad Farmers

Gangnam & Southern Seoul


One of the first in Seoul to catch on to the healthy-food trend, Bad Farmers is the place for your daily dose of green eats. Recognisable for its bright red exterior, the spacious, sun-filled restaurant specialises in salads, cold-pressed juices and open sandwiches. There are plenty of options for vegetarians and vegans, and there’s even 'pet-parking' for furry friends.

Try the savoury Avo Cobb (smoked salmon, egg, roast chicken, cherry tomatoes, olives, avocado and corn over a bed of fresh romaine), originally made popular here. The only downfall is the ridiculously long line that can form at weekends.
