The best restaurants in Laois

21/03/2025: Cozy atmosphere and an excellent pint of Guinness!

09/04/2025: ##NO STARS We ordered from Ruchi Portlaoise last night, and it was a disappointing experience. The delivery driver didn’t even call and gave our food to someone else in the opposite apartment. After 45 minutes of waiting, we called, and he kept repeating that he’d delivered it to ‘some lady,’ offering no apology. He first said he’d deliver replacement food tomorrow, but when we asked what we were supposed to eat at 10 PM (we ordered at 9pm) he agreed to reorder and deliver. The replacement arrived in 15 minutes, but the quality was awful. The spicy chicken wings were half-cooked, tasteless, and just dusted with chili powder. The makhani chicken had watery gravy with hard chicken pieces, and the naan was undercooked. The egg fried rice was the only decent item. I’d like to speak to the owner about this. Overall, terrible service and food—avoid unless they improve.

25/03/2025: Food is one of the best . Everything is delicious and would highly recommend.

23/06/2025: Lovely place. My favourite spot for a coffee in Portlaoise

09/06/2025: We had Chicken Cajun and Italian wrap, Both were delicious and toasted to perfection! Highly recommended.

18/04/2025: Rocky’s garlic cheese chips would be what I’d ask for my last meal. 10/10 always.

24/02/2025: No need to review these guys. Weekly without fail. Steak-stir-fry. Poooof!

15/05/2025: A lovely - busy - spot. I had a sausage roll at a very reasonable €6.95 which was delicious. The white chocolate and fudge cookie that followed was nicer again!

02/05/2025: Very happy with there cakes 🎂 & buns🧁. And the staff are very helpful aways. greeted you with a smile

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.

31/05/2025: I came here about two months ago with my friend Hannah whom is a "vegan" and she asked a guy behind the counter for his number and he rejected her and she got upset and ate some chips or something... I didn't read it all.. great place. Great food 😋

27/05/2025: I struggled to find the value here. For a parent trying to feed a family with this cost of living crisis I fail to see where supervalue is doing their bit to help. Overpriced and lacking in variety.
