The best restaurantsof irish in Portlaoise

09/08/2026: Very good! Foods great and relaxed atmosphere

09/08/2026: Took 15 minutes for our order to be taken. We got chicken wings for a starter this took 20 minutes to come out. They were only alright. We ordered a burger and vol u vant for the main which took 40 minutes to come out. The burger was fine however the vol u vant was 17.50 for a main course and 10.50 for a starter. With the main course vol u vant I got one vol u vant. I would assume two as it is a main course and I assume the starter also only comes with one vol u vant so essentially I paid €7 for a small thing of chips. Food was bland. The cherry on top was the €4 charge for two glasses of miwadi. This alone will make me not return. It is beyond cheeky when you’re spending enough for bland over priced food. I said it to the girl when we were paying with and she said “oh the payments already gone through”. As if she couldn’t have refunded it. Will not return!

28/10/2026: Waiting to long for food when it did come it was cold

11/10/2026: I was out with seven friends last night to celebrate a 50th birthday party. From start to finish everything was fantastic. I had the salmon and it was the tastiest I've ever had. Then I had the sticky toffee pudding. I make my own so I benchmark everybody else's against mine. Last night I had one which was nicer than my own It was delicious Our waiter was just super ( he was very tall with hair in a bun, sorry I didn't get his name). He was so efficient , so friendly and so engaging He was outstanding We all had the best night with ye. So well done to the Charter Bar 🙌🙌💯

28/08/2026: Always do a good breakfast and they have the best filtered coffee

27/07/2026: I got breakfast here the sausages were nice the toast was lovely And the rest of the food was alright to be fair the seats were very dirty And the tables were greasy I might come back for just sausages and toast!
