The best restaurants in Lewes Castle Lewes South East

Excellent food/coffee, dog friendly...and lovely staff!!

Vegan is hard to come by. They had a fab choice and very well presented food - attention to detail was lovely. Really friendly team.

The owner is an engaging, friendly character who made the entire experience of attending court a more relaxed one. Please visit and enjoy a lovely coffee

The food was delicious and healthy. I had the salad option and it was packed with variety, colour and great taste. My son had soup and fresh bread and a sausage roll. We plan to return because the food was great at a really affordable price.

This comfortable cafe is located within the interesting needlemakers center. We had a very good flat white coffee. The surroundings are unusual and interesting for a coffee shop.

Wonderful in every way, thoroughly enjoyed it. Great service and the food has been very fresh and tasty each time we’ve visited. Also dog friendly. Perfect!

First visit here to order our takeaway , after being recommended to try the Burgers. Pleased to report the burgers were superb will return again or next time will ask for a delivery.. Friendly staff..

My new favourite place for lunch in Lewes. Really great little restaurant with excellent limited set menu at a reasonable price. Nice to have chilled filtered water for free. Fresh bread straight out of the oven and free! Excellent starter of brocolli and stilton soup, (not too hot- which was great) and then a tasty pasta dish.

We were her only customers. We ordered the exact same thing and waited 40min for 2 burgers. The young lady - as nice as she was- was super ditsy and could not remember our order. She came to us after 20 min to confirm, two burgers with vegan cheese and onion chutney + 2 kimchy vegan loaded fries. Before serving she said the burgers were ready but messed up the fries, she only prepared a non-vegan versin which my partner has. I should mention that an old mate of hers was there chitchatting during that time. We were not impressed by the service, it’s poor, borderline unacceptable. She did give me a refund for the fries i never had. Food is good though. Hence the 3 stars.

This restaurant is pretentious! Over priced lack lust food. When paying we asked to remove the service charge due to freedom of choice and we were happy to tip in cash, however the manager challenged this in a confrontational way even though we explained that money is tight for us at the moment! She then did not remove the charge and made us feel so uncomfortable we just payed it! This is not cool and gave off a very hostile vibe. The food was totally overpriced and miniature so if you want to have an enjoyable and affordable pleasant dining experience don’t go here!

The food itself was very good but unfortunately we didn’t have a good table. The dinner was extremely rushed and there was some table full of maybe football fans and couldn’t hear a word.

Visited Rustico Lewes with a friend and despite being busy, service was exceptionally fast and accommodating. The food was incredible, highly recommend the Mezzuluna and chips for lunch. Delicious, filling and very cheap. Special thanks to Tom, who made the dining experience even more enjoyable and stress-free. Will definitely be coming again.

Hands down one of the best meals I've had. It was incredible.

Very nice staff, good interactions
