The best restaurants

03/08/2025: Under new ownership and renamed as Beal Blasta. Had a green veg and feta frittata with a mix of salads. Wonderful fresh and tasty food and great coffee.

07/09/2023: Just found this place but they seem to have shut down with no notice . Was the best spice bag and fresh Asian food I've had in Portlaoise. Dissapoointed and wish they'd remove themselves from just eat if they're not reopening .

25/07/2025: The schedule on google is wrong they say they close at 20:00 and I went and it was closing at 16:40 and the problem is they say they close at 15:00 but they won’t take any order like thirthy minutes before That time

24/06/2025: Unique atmosphere, sincere place, for nostalgics

19/06/2025: One of the best pints of Guinness in the city 👌🏼

16/09/2025: Closed Tuesday, September 16, 2025 - open according to Google Maps.

04/08/2025: No onions or peppers on the spice bag... No effort made at all How bland

25/06/2024: Estoy absolutamente asombrado de cómo cualquiera con un indicio de un fondo de cocina podría servir lo que me sirvieron hoy - fue nada menos que impactante ... . . El pan estaba rancio. El tocino demasiado cocido y grasiento. Los hongos viscosos. NO había ninguna característica de canje en esta placa y pagué 16 € por ella? Ni siquiera me preguntaron si estaba bien. Por el amor de Dios, contrate a un chef y no siga ofendiendo a su clientela sobrecargada. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

07/02/2026: Always turned away at 10:30pm on a Saturday night after work. When site says open till 11pm. Young rude staff can't be arsed

23/08/2025: Food came absolutely freezing. Missing half of my order! Took over an hour to deliver 10 mins down the road. Very bad experience.

21/08/2025: A five star experience here the other evening. Went with my mother and partner and blown away by the whole experience. The three course menu is great value for Ireland, the wine list comprehensive and, most importantly, the service outstanding! Kudos all round.

04/08/2025: Visiting from West Virginia enjoyed great food and atmosphere. Gavin did a wonderful Irish coffee demonstration. Definitely the icing on the evening😍

31/07/2025: Meant to write sooner. I stayed in Bellinter with my aunt who has some mobility issues in early June. I knew it was an old house so pre-checked re facilities etc. Well I can only say from reception, all restaurant/bar staff, the welcome & hospitality shown to us was outstanding. I have stayed here before & always enjoyed. But this was extra special. Everyone including maintenance dept were extremely helpful & kind. It’s such a pleasure to experience this. These are just a few of the names of great humans I came across Serena. Shirley. Tina. Sharon. Deniz & Shona. Many thanks. The dinner was Devine too! Beautiful fresh ingredients & great wine list. The only suggestion I’d give, is a bit more attention to the cooked breakfast in the morning. Otherwise great selection of fresh fruits etc. thank you 🙏🏼

08/06/2025: Delightful dinner meal. Well cooked, fresh ingredients, and great flavor. Surprisingly, the most delicious crème brûlèe I have ever had (trust me). Kind and friendly service. Relaxing seating.
