Korea is getting better, but a non chain restaurant is still very likely to give you a tuna sandwich if you said you were vegetarian.
With the majority of soup stocks being made from dried anchovies, or meat, and kimchi containing fish/shellfish, truly vegetarian or vegan food is probably only guaranteed in specialist restaurants in big city centres.Friends from France and Netherlands are massively impressed by how easy it is to cater for restrictive diets / allergies in the UK, both in food places and supermarkets.
Not a gluten free or vegan bread or pastry option to be seen in the local bakery where I am at the moment in Normandy. Pastry with nuts, peanuts, almonds etc happily displayed along with the rest.

It's still bad in a lot of places. Japan and many places in the east, Malaysia, Thailand etc iny experience.
Also, I know it's being picky, but it's annoying that most places now have vegan choices replacing veggie. So I want don't want vegan cheese in my veggie burger, I want regular cheese for example.
