The best restaurantsof irish in Laois

17/07/2025: Great spot for a one night motorhome stop over on your travels down through Ireland, the facilities, the staff and the atmosphere were very good. Also doggy friendly.

17/07/2025: This is a hidden gem just off the motorway on your way to Dublin. Beats anywhere else to stop hands down. Service is quick too and you get a proper meal. Menu is vast and servings are very generous. Highly recommended and you don't need to go into a town to get to it. It's essentially like a slip road off the motorway.

13/06/2025: Very good food lovely staff & keen prices

08/06/2025: Nice local spot. Food was good and service was friendly. If you’re a fan of chocolate would recommend the ‘death by chocolate’ dessert!

07/06/2025: Great spot for a few quiet drinks or for a gig! Used to have a lot better gigs but still pretty decent!

29/05/2025: I like this pub, good atmosphere, warm and friendly culture. Friendly and helpful staff, always up for a chat. Live on regularly, fantastic outdoor area. Good vibe, great Guinness. Well done Kavanaghs team, luv your work 👍🫶

19/07/2025: O’Gorman’s is a clean, comfortable pub with good food and friendly staff. The menu has plenty of choice and the portions are generous. Service is fast and reliable. It’s a great place for casual meals, staff parties, quizzes, or team bonding events. There's plenty of space for groups, and the atmosphere is relaxed. A solid option for both social and work gatherings.

14/07/2025: Very nice food. Great selection. Would advise to book at weekends as can be very busy

26/06/2025: Attentive staff and nice cocktails, mix of old style bar and modern restaurant decor, neon lights etc which is a strange clash of styles

14/06/2025: Sadly won't be going here again. It used to be such a great spot and the service was incredible (about 3 years ago) but the last 2 times we've gone we were left waiting for over an hour for food and trying to get the attention of service staff was horrific and one of these times we were the only ones there... Absolutely horrific service and the food is really not worth it anymore!

26/05/2025: Went dancing here,very enjoyable evening. Didn't have dinner so can't comment on the food.

07/05/2025: Great dancefloor. Top bands. Lots to see around if on a holiday. Food fantastic.

09/06/2025: Excellent value for such wonderful food and service

04/04/2025: We had a birthday celebration on Sunday with over 20 family and friends for lunch. We were expecting a very good meal but it exceeded our expectations. The food was simply outstanding and all of our guests were unanimous in their praise. The flavours of the courses were just wonderful. I had smoked salmon for starter and it was delicious. I then had lamb for main course and it was perfectly cooked, tender and flavoursome. Service was provided mainly by young college age girls and guys and they were friendly, efficient and accommodating. The dining area was understandably busy but not noisy. The beautiful building was spotlessly clean. We didn't realize that there is a nice bar available for a pre-meal drink but will avail of it next time. I highly recommend the Ashbrooke Arms to anyone looking for delicious food, cooked with great skill in a lovely building with great service.
