The Monread - Naas

It's fantastic to find a pub that offers excellent craft beverages and an extensive vegan menu. The food is delicious, but it would be great to see more healthy options, such as salads. This is an update from a previous review dated September 23, 2022.

I agree with other reviews that there isn't a lot of fresh food available, but I checked the menu in advance and decided to try a vegan spicy burger. I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived with a good portion of broccoli and bell peppers, along with the usual chips, wobble, and falafel. The sauces were delightful—tasty and spicy. While this isn't the place for a veggie-heavy, fresh salad or particularly creative vegetarian or vegan cuisine, it’s convenient to have a spot in Naas for a casual pub meal! This is an update from my previous review on August 29, 2019.

"First, I want to mention that the waitress was very nice. However, I was disappointed with the dining experience overall. While there is a vegan section on the menu, it mainly consists of fake meat, frozen deep-fried options like chips, spring rolls, and falafel rings. Everything was lacking freshness, and the food was lukewarm. There were no fresh salads, tofu, tempeh, or other plant-based dishes. Given the quality of the meal, it was too expensive, and I would consider it one of the worst meals we've ever had. Additionally, the pub had several TVs displaying racing events and rap music videos, which didn’t enhance the atmosphere for us. We will not be returning."
