BUT FIRST, WHAT DOES

VEGETARIAN MEAN?

With terms like plant-based, vegan, vegetarian, meat-free, and even herbivore floating around, keeping track of all of them and their meanings can be difficult. When you order a meal at Mugg & Bean, here’s what you can be sure of:

Vegetarian means that the meal doesn’t include any meat or fish. When we refer to vegetarian, we are referring to lacto-ovo vegetarian, which means that those meals may contain dairy products or eggs.
Vegan means that the meal contains no meat, fish, dairy, eggs, or any other animal-derived product.

CELEBRATE SUMMER WITH THESE
DELICIOUS CHOICES

Chef Mokgadi has crafted a selection of delicious dishes that tap into the essence of summer with ingredients like fresh fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. These meals cater to those pursuing active lifestyles and wellness goals, as well as those who just want to try something different and vegetarian. Here’s a look at some of the top dishes:
