    Copenhagen, Denmark

    Restaurant

    A Refshaleøen pick for diners who want a relaxed, sustainability-minded Copenhagen meal rather than a formal splurge.

    Den Optimist

    Leuven, Belgium

    Restaurant

    Den Optimist is worth choosing in Leuven when the brief is relaxed, vegetable-aware dining with enough wine focus to make a repeat visit feel purposeful.

    Légume

    Seoul, South Korea

    Restaurant

    Légume is Seoul's most credentialed plant-based restaurant: South Korea's first We're Smart 5-Radish recipient and a Michelin 1-star (2024), all at a ₩₩ price point that undercuts most of Gangnam's comparable tasting-menu venues.

    Terrat @ Hotel Mandarin Oriental

    Barcelona, Spain

    Restaurant

    Terrat @ Hotel Mandarin Oriental is a polished Eixample choice for travelers who want a calmer hotel-anchored meal rather than a full fine-dining production.

    Kyoto, Japan

    Restaurant

    Book Yakiyasai Isoya for an evening vegetable-led Kyoto dinner with enough recognition to justify choosing it for a date or small celebration.

    Dijon, France

    Vienna, Austria

    Restaurant

    Vivi Vinu

    Siracusa, Italy

    Restaurant

    Book Vivi Vinu if you want a focused, produce-led meal near Noto with We're Smart World 2025 recognition, not a generic Siracusa dinner.

    Naturam, Tokyo, Japan

    Naturam

    Tokyo, Japan

    Restaurant

    Book Naturam if you want a calm Setagaya lunch with a credible vegetable-led award signal rather than a showy Tokyo dinner.
