The best restaurants in Laois

12/12/2025: needs a dance game like stepmaniax or dance dance revolution

19/11/2025: Back again!! I was here ages ago and thought it was great and couldn't get much better, but I was wrong. Loads more upgrades, new little cafe area for a cuppa and cake while you watch the kids in the soft play and take a min to yourself. We had a great time again, my 84 yr old father came for the drive with us and he sat watching us on the TV when we played the lazer tag he was amazed!! We were so well looked after love roller skating with the kids its so much fun, kids also played indoor soccer to end off a very busy day, we were there for hours. Also for anyone that thinks them arcade games never pay out ... well my 8 year old is living proof, he hit the €150 prize, the manager/owner came out personally to hand over the cash. He was a great sport and so good with my son. Keep up the good work all the staff are a credit to the place. See you all again soon.

03/12/2025: Lovely place very cosy and great coffee

05/11/2025: Compete hidden gem, great atmosphere and best coffee around!

10/12/2025: Nice interior and a good place for a pint!

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

25/03/2026: Great food, never been there in person but the take away is the best around. Very friendly and easy to deal with if something is wrong.

19/10/2025: My husband and I both love this restaurant: whether to eat in or take out, the quality of the food is top notch. The menu is extensive, and the prices are very reasonable for the portions given. The restaurant dining area is very cosy, dimly lit, but that adds to the atmosphere, as does the music. I think it's a pity that the dining area isn't full every night, but I feel that's partly due to the location (lovely though it is, being situated on the historic French Church Street), and the still-lingering after effects of Covid. The takeaway part is always busy, and there is a delivery or pick up option. If you love authentic Indian food, cooked well, and sold in decent-sized portions, then I recommend that you get yourself to The Great India for a treat for which your taste buds will thank you!

06/10/2025: €11 for a slice of dry carrot cake and a coconut latte that tasted nothing like coconut at all. A cup of warm water is what it tastes like. definitely gone down hill with coffees

05/10/2025: Used to be good spot but it is getting worse every week. On Sunday having coffee in single use cup for dining in is very bad. Also Autumn time and no flagship drink, I'd say it won't last long. One of the most expensive spot btw. Very disappointing.

27/04/2026: they do a lovely pizza and a lovely breakfast.🍕🍳🍴☕️

02/04/2026: The food is good but poor customer service

31/08/2025: Serious quality, addictive food. Delivery time has always been satisfactory

10/04/2026: Beautiful food, great friendly staff and excellent portions. We Really enjoyed this meal we got chicken jalfrazi and chicken tikka masala. Pilau rice, lemon rice, garlic nan and chips. 10/10 would return.

22/03/2026: We had the meat platter, vegetable platter, mushroom pilau rice, lamb balti, chicken tikka massala, chilli cheese naan and garlic naan. Everything was 5 stars. The waiter explained the dishes and made recommendations. I highly recommend this place.

02/01/2026: Great food and nice place to come with friends or family. Don't think they pay much attention to what plays on the TV though. A movie that's definitely rated R movie was played while I was there with my 4 year old cousin. Had to distract her somehow.

22/11/2025: Order food at 12:11 and came at 13:30 just 2 medium pizza came cold and I really want a refund or compassion as this is the second time

20/11/2025: Lovely little café with fab homewares. A few high chairs would be great!

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.

14/11/2025: Incredible food and genuinely great customer service. Honestly the best toasted BBQ pulled pork I’ve ever had, absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!

26/10/2025: Tasty sandwiches, nice staff, hard to fault!

03/09/2025: Great atmosphere and amazing staff

13/08/2025: Sally's is a great place at the weekend thanks to the staff great beer and great music

09/10/2025: Great place in midland for foreign language movies. Not at all crowded. Decent movie experience

15/09/2025: I just visited Odeon Portlaoise today and when we arrived the lift happened to be out of order. The staff went absolutely above and beyond to help us get to where we needed to go and they were most apologetic. We really appreciated it. I haven't experienced service this good in years it was wonderful to experience.

12/12/2025: Spotless clean fresh relaxing interior facade is tired looking but don't let that put you off.. Lovely friendly staff Good value for a tasty breakfast Will be back 👍

02/02/2026: So lads, was delicious especially the kung po chicken, but by Jesus they aren’t generous with the sides, chips and rice. Left hungry and went across the road to Rio’s for a battered sausage. Apart from that 5 stars lads for service and flavour.
