The five-star Monart Destination Spa has added a brand new seasonal Vegan Menu to their à la Carte menu offering in both the restaurant and Garden Lounge Bar.
Each evening, the fine dining restaurant at Monart caters for guests who wish to indulge or make healthier choices and a new vegan menu now offers additional options for this.
The à la Carte menu at Monart contains a large array of delicious meat dishes from venison to locally sourced Slaney Lamb, and now the additional vegan menu features a variety of plant-based dishes for the stunning Michelin recommended restaurant.
Executive chef Azaharan Bin Ostman says that Monart is responding to a growing demand for plant based dishes; “We didn’t want to add just one vegan offering to our regular menu, we wanted to offer a delicious variety of dishes from bespoke and seasonal menus all free of meat and dairy products. The flavour combinations and ingredients have all been studiously thought out and we hope the new menu will be a big hit with our guests.”
The new vegan menu is designed seasonally and will change accordingly. It sits alongside the original menu which features a variety of delicious dishes featuring ingredients from the best food producers in the South East including Cullen’s Fruit and Vegetables from Gorey, Green Hill Fruit Farm in Davidstown, Millstream Seafood in Caim, Killowen Dairy Foods Enniscorthy and Ballycross Apple Farm in Wexford.
The new vegan menu consists of homemade vegan breads, an Amuse Bouche followed by fresh soup of the evening served with sour dough croutons and fresh herbs, a butter bean salad with avocado, baby gem, heirloom tomato with chili, basil & lime vinaigrette or a raw vegetable spring roll served with a cashew and tamarind dip. A delicious iced sorbet offers the perfect palate cleanser.
For main course, there is a choice of lentil & chickpea curry served with coconut rice, mango chutney and onion pakoras, a courgetti dish served with olive, artichoke, spinach, cherry tomato and red pepper coulis or a smoked tofu stir fry served with rice noodles and Asian leaves.
Dessert includes an exotic vegan passion fruit & coconut pannacotta served with a lychee sorbet.
The new Vegan Menu will be available to guests in both the restaurant and Garden Lounge Bar. All à la Carte restaurant dinner menus are priced at €45 per person excluding supplements for five mouth watering courses. For further details, see www.monart.ie.
