4 MICHELIN Green Star Restaurants Where You Can Savor Where Ingredients Come From
Three in Seoul and one in Busan: many ways to practice sustainable gastronomy
If you're curious about where delicious food begins, take a look at the farms, producers and ways ingredients are used, too. We've gathered four Green Star restaurants from the MICHELIN Guide Seoul & Busan 2026, each with a different culinary direction.
They are Gosari Express, Gigas and Mitou in Seoul, and Piotto in Busan. The Green Star is a separate distinction that highlights efforts toward sustainable gastronomy, so it's best read apart from the one, two and three stars awarded for food.

Gosari Express
Gosari Express (고사리 익스프레스)
Gosari Express is a 2026 Bib Gourmand and Green Star restaurant serving plant-based food in Sindang Jungang Market. With dishes like bibim-myeon (spicy mixed noodles) built on a gosari (bracken) oil sauce and Taiwanese-style pancakes, it suggests enjoying vegetarian food through everyday menus.
The restaurant uses local seasonal vegetables, reduces waste in the cooking process, and shares that part of its sales proceeds goes toward forest conservation. It's a great choice when you want to experience sustainable food culture through a single bowl rather than a long course.

The restaurant uses house-made seasonings and seasonal seafood, and operates in ways that reduce waste and plastic use. It suits diners who want to enjoy a course while paying attention to how the ingredients and composition change as the seasons turn.

Piotto
Piotto (피오또)
Piotto is a 2026 MICHELIN one-star and Green Star restaurant on Dalmaji Hill in Busan, offering tasting courses that include pasta. Vegetables from the family farm and house-prepared fresh pasta, cured ham and fermented ingredients define its cooking.
In the many kinds of fresh pasta and house-made fermented ingredients, you can see the link between production and cooking. It's an Italian-style course that also uses animal ingredients such as Jirisan pork, so it's worth reading about its sourcing philosophy alongside the current menu.
