Vegetus 베제투스

Vegetus is a fully vegan restaurant at 59 Sinheung-ro in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. Meat, dairy products, eggs, and honey are excluded across the menu, while grains, legumes, vegetables, nuts, tofu, and coconut are used to build burgers, pasta, lasagna, rice dishes, panini, and starters. The Vegetus burger places a browned patty made from brown rice, lentils, oats, and chopped vegetables inside an organic bun. Lettuce, tomato, grilled eggplant, sauteed mushrooms and onions, sprouts, walnut-cilantro sauce, and plant-based mayonnaise add fresh, roasted, and creamy layers. The jalapeno burger uses the lentil patty with jalapeno, fried onion, vegan chili sauce, and sriracha mayonnaise. The burrito bowl begins with turmeric rice and adds lentils, onion, garlic, bell pepper, corn, tomato, salsa, walnut-cilantro sauce, cashew cheese sauce, and nacho chips. Ratatouille is served with turmeric rice and slowly simmers onion, eggplant, zucchini, bell pepper, and tomato into a French-style vegetable stew. Lasagna replaces conventional pasta sheets with dried tofu skin, then layers it with Bolognese-style sauce, bechamel-style sauce, eggplant, and coconut Parmesan. Gluten-free macaroni is covered with cashew cheese sauce and young leaves to form plant-based mac and cheese. The bulgogi panini contains vegan bulgogi, grilled tofu, and soy mayonnaise. The caprese panini combines house-made cashew mozzarella, sun-dried tomato sauce, grilled eggplant, and basil pesto. Nacho chips are accompanied by salsa, cashew cheese sauce, and coconut bacon. House-made fries and falafel provide potato and chickpea preparations. Lentils, oats, brown rice, and chopped vegetables hold the burger patty together. Cashews produce the creamy texture of cheese sauce and mozzarella. Dried tofu skin supplies the broad layers in lasagna, while coconut becomes bacon-like pieces and a Parmesan-style topping. Turmeric rice provides the base for both the burrito bowl and ratatouille, with beans, corn, salsa, and nacho chips in one and slowly stewed vegetables in the other. House-made lemonade, ginger ale, kombucha, and wine accompany the food. The dining room has green wall surfaces and potted plants distributed beside the tables and along the windows.
