The best restaurants in Laois

23/08/2025: Very nice, clean hotel with lovely staff. We stayed for a week and everything was great.

11/08/2025: I'd never been to this part of Ireland before, and we really liked the town and the hotel was charming. We called to see if we could check in early because we needed to change for a wedding. It was no problem, and they let us into our room early. We found two super-comfortable double beds, and the room was clean.

17/09/2025: Top chinese ive ever had i drive an hour every now and then to have it, its that good. Menu posted below.

01/07/2025: Very good service and most importantly, consistently good food! Never had a wrong order or bad dish. I highly reccomend this place. Spice Bags are great with crispy chips.

20/08/2025: Very good food Service 5 star Excellent

25/07/2025: The pizza and chips are really good, it's a perfect balance of homemade and fast food, it doesn't feel like eating grease but it also doesn't feel too traditional, its the perfect treat!

19/08/2025: The drinks are always good, the service is excellent and the staff are all lovely people. Perfect place for a quiet drink, or to hold a celebration.

12/09/2025: amazing bar and mark the bouncer is a lovely guy

02/07/2025: Usually have a great time in Square bar and always a top spot to go to but last night(28th June) the bouncer was being in the nicest way possible a complete fool. He said I had tracksuit bottoms on when they were clearly jeans and couldn't let me get a single word in and told me to "buzz off" and go another direction, was calling my friends inside then to tell them I wasn’t let in and then while I was on call he was proceeding to let lads in with cargos on and it just seemed like he had a personal vendetta against me for no reason. After I ended my call he then said “ok from a distance it looked like you had tracksuit bottoms on but there’s no need to be cheeky” dunno how that’s possible when he didn’t even let me speak but alright.

14/07/2025: Lovely pint of Guinness, great service and friendly owners

22/04/2025: Exquisite pub. Pints to die for. So lana del rey with all the old men. I love finalys ♡♡

16/10/2025: Love coming in here apart from one issue.. staff. In fairness one in particular. Don't know her name, middle aged lady with short blonde hair. Anyway each time we go in there we are made to feel like we are an inconvince to her. Never a nice word or a thanks. The others are lovely to be fair but I seriously hope whom ever she is has a better day the next time we are in.

09/08/2025: As a regukar here i can say it's always a good cappuccino if you sit in. Like their food, especially the breakfast bap which is savage. Only issue is service is dreadful. They really need to sort out the food/till operation, it's chaos ordering, waiting and paying. Other than that a really nice place to sit in.

18/08/2025: Thanks to John and the team at the killeshin Hotel with everything you did kind regards Kris and Joanne

13/08/2025: I get food poisoning after eating in their cedar restaurant.

03/10/2025: What a gem! Delicious coffee and very nice service

06/09/2025: Stopped in for a quick breakfast as we were travelling thru the town. Food was good, and service was friendly and efficient.

08/10/2025: Nice stop to/from work for tea, sandwiches or breakfast alike, breakfast decent size and fair priced

15/08/2025: Mariana's Diner is a hidden gem for anyone looking for a calm, friendly spot to enjoy a meal. From the moment you walk in, you can tell they genuinely care about creating an inclusive space—special needs are warmly welcomed, and the staff go above and beyond to make everyone comfortable. The atmosphere is peaceful. Service is attentive but never rushed. you get the feeling being at home. The food is freshly made. Highly recommended for those who appreciate kindness, patience, and a quiet dining experience.

25/09/2025: Fuel is hands down the best spot in Portlaoise for an oat milk latte second to none! It has that “Cheers” vibe, the kind of place where everyone knows your name and makes you feel welcome. The atmosphere is always buzzing, the staff are super friendly and its spotless. A real gem of a coffee shop!

08/09/2025: Absolutely love this place! Vibe is warm & welcoming. The coffee is unreal, you can really taste the quality. Açai bowls are lovely, super fresh, generous portion & beautifully presented.

17/09/2025: Ah sure look lads it’s TASTY SPICE the best around in the area! Wide variety of delicious food no shortage of options hits every time

28/05/2025: I just got to go on the counter and I was bored and looking around and I saw flys going on some toppings on pizza's

16/09/2025: Went to supermacs with my wife and kids, order food for all family kids were very happy,but finally we had to leave without food,cos after almost one hour waiting for our order we decided to cancel our order and just left. Went with kids to the McDonald's. At supermacs was busy, but not as much as usual. And when I came to the till to ask where's our food the answer was ohh sorry we forgot to make yours one,but 4 people standing there doing nothing just talking and laughing instead of focus for service and make customers satisfied. It was very unprofessional and very sad not because of myself, but because of my kid's. So my decision?never again to the supermacs at all. Regards.
