The best restaurantsof irish in Portlaoise

04/01/2026: Had this reservation booked for my birthday and I was left completely disappointed. Food took an hour to come out after starters had been served. Staff were a little bit lost, there was multiple people serving our table, even offering us a desert menu when dinner had not been served yet. My partners burger came out soggy and just fell apart while eating. The salmon meal was mediocre with the potatoes being served lukewarm. A lot of the furnishings in the restaurant were also stained and just not looking pleasant. Overall not worth the prices charged here.

25/12/2025: A little gem. Lovely food and lovey staff.

15/10/2025: Have never had a meal here that was less than perfect. However, they now insist on leaving the door wide open, and even go and shut it if a customer closes it, even in winter when it is absolutely freezing in the restaurant.As a result, it’s just too uncomfortable to visit Also, I’ve been charged a different price for the same meal every time I go in. One day, my daughter and I both purchased a meal of just potatoes, veg and gravy. She was charged over €12 and I was charged €4.50 (which is the usual price for a veg plate in most restaurants). Prices overall are very expensive in Mulhall’s now. Such a pity.
