About this menu

Cafe Vegu is a cafe on High St in Lewes serving Korean dishes that run from morning plates to rice bowls. The menu moves through At a Glance, Breakfast, Brunch and Lunch. Breakfast includes Hobak Jeon and Kimchi Jeon, brunch brings toasts such as the Kimcheeze Toastie and Perilla Mushroom Toast, and lunch leans towards rice dishes like Bibimbap and Kimchi Bokkeumbap.

If you are up early, the Breakfast section is the obvious starting point, with Hobak Jeon and Kimchi Jeon to choose from. Later in the morning, Brunch covers toasted options like the Kimcheeze Toastie and Perilla Mushroom Toast. Lunch is the section for a fuller sit down meal built on rice, such as Bibimbap or Kimchi Bokkeumbap.
