Tastes healthy

All vegetarian healthy food place with some covered outdoor seating. Offers takeaway. Menu changes daily, but there is always a small buffet as well and some staples (wrap, kebab, cakes).

It's not the cheapest lunch you'll find in Maynooth. The portion size is OK though.

I don't know what it is, but all their dishes have something I don't particularly like. Plus, it is often a bit watery/sauce-heavy.

Pros: Healthy

Cons: Watery dishes

Delicious

Delicious. Tasty. Fast service. Lovely outside covered seating. Friendly. Enjoyed moussaka and salad bar small side salad. Most things are vegan. Just check when ordering. Plenty of hot and cold options.
Visited again 18/11/22 and everything is vegan unless you ask for cheese on a sandwich!!!! Fabulous. This time I had a cottage pie which was delicious and a side salad. Even though I’ve eaten well the huge array of vegan sweet options is just too tempting……. Might be a take out!!! ……… or not 🥹

Highly recommended: a hidden gem in Maynooth

What a gem of a find. My family and I happened to be out for a walk at Donadea forest on Sunday and we were starting to get hungry. A quick search showed us Beetroot. We liked what we saw, and it was close by, so off we went. It was love at first bite. The food was amazing, the service was really friendly and helpful, and there was a lovely vibe to the place from the moment we walked in. (Here's the part where I point out that we had two kids in tow who aren't always the most enthusiastic eaters of vegan food but they absolutely tore into the kebab and didn't leave a single crumb.) Highly recommended; we'll be back for sure.

Pros: Excellent food, packed with flavour , Knowledgeable staff who explained the menu, Great value: four full bellies for under €50

Delicious homey food

Delicious, home made food in the heart of Maynooth. The menu changes daily and features items like various soups and stews, moussaka, cottage pie, sandwiches, wraps, and curries. Everything is vegan except that the sandwiches have the option of including cheddar cheese. They also have a delicious assortment of pasties and cakes such as banana bread, hazelnut beetroot cake, flapjacks, and a chocolate oat brownie. Everything is made daily by the chef and owner.
We stopped by here several times and always had a great experience. Service is very friendly and welcoming, the food is homey and delicious, and the price is reasonable. Great place. I truly can’t recommend it enough!

Pros: Friendly service , Tasty food, Updating menu

Quick and healthy

I got the Bombay Aloo and my non-companion got a soup and we were both really happy with our meals. She then got a beetroot tart for dessert and I got a sweet potato brownie. The dessert portions are really big! There’s seating for about 13 people inside, and their card machine has a 7€ minimum. When I went everything was vegan despite not being specifically labelled as vegan.

Pros: Healthy food, Friendly and helpful staff

Cons: Not a lot of seating, but it’s quiet

Lovely restaurant with friendly owners

The restaurant is small (10 places I estimate), and the menu is limited to a couple of dishes and a salad buffet, but the dishes are savory and tasty.

One bowl of stew didn't satisfy me, so I ordered a second one. It didn't break the bank, because one bowl is just 7 euros or so.

There's also a parking right in front of the restaurant, which is accessible via Leinster Street.

Pozdrowienia z België (sorry, my Polish is pretty bad, so I had to use Google Translate just now :) - the text is supposed to say 'greetings from Belgium')

Pros: Very friendly staff! , Great value for money, You can't go wrong with a salad bar

A hidden gem

We found this place on our way to Dublin airport, popped in off the motorway and filled up. There were a couple of hearty soups on offer, wraps and loads of fresh salad. Definitely recommended.
