The best restaurants in Laois

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.

09/08/2025: Good night in coppers Portlaoise. Late night music and party atmosphere. Worth a go

04/08/2025: Best club in portlaoise.highly recommended.

27/12/2025: I always look forward to coming home because I know we'll be having Nino's at some point and it always hits the spot.

01/11/2025: Real Italian chips, great staff I would definitely recommend, everything I have eaten has been really good and very fresh!!!! I will go back again.

11/10/2025: Service was terrible , some of the staff are very rude. Wouldn't be going back in a hurry.

05/10/2025: Gorgeous hotel with an excellent restaurant. We stayed in a Heritage Room which was very comfortable. The staff were all very attentive and welcoming. Highly recommended.

21/12/2025: Theyre open late, gets you right out the anvil, I asked for nuts and extra spicy and they made it EXTRA spicy, exactly what I wanted for no extra price, I need to pop by to give some tips

27/11/2025: Always great food here. Have used them to cater parties a number of times too and guests always rave about the food. Tonnes of it too. I will never be skinny as long as Tina's is open

12/01/2026: The spice bag with a free drink and tasty! Wow!

02/01/2026: Top class will definitely order again delivery was the best and the passenger jack conroy was very kind and respectful

06/11/2025: Let me start by saying the the two older ladies in the deli and lovely, however, this is a Maxol issue and the two ladies were not behind the deli. I like a sausage and we're all annoyed with the constant prices rising for everything but the standards have also dropped. It's like a free for all, a grab and run with businesses against their own people. Get the food while it's hot! 'No pun intended'. I just have to show what they're making and charging a euro for, you don't get to see the real quality until you break or bite into it. Absolutely awful and the lady that's behind the glass isn't the most pleasant to return it, however, I think that's a language issue rather than rudeness, she's probably lovely. So, it isn't personal, you expect a nice sausage for a euro, which went up 10% in the past couple of months and the quality went down. I know this is a small issue, but it underpins the bigger one, quality and greed in Ireland from business owners. Let's be honest, the sausage came in a big bag and probably cost 15 cent. You can't justify the mark up on things! If you're putting up prices, the quality must improve!

13/10/2025: Nice and convenient place to get a coffee, filling up and getting some papers. Car wash outside is also very good. However, one of the staff members in Deli are absolutely horrible. There's no need for rude comments about what people are ordering, we're paying for it in the end. Couldn't figure her name, but you should be ashamed of yourself. I'll avoid getting deli from this place.

27/10/2025: I hate leaving negative reviews but feel like tonight I have too. Yes staff were lovely and food too. But service lenght was crazy. When arrived was one couple having their mains, we told to pick table (2 adults 1 kid) then another couple came in just after us. Placed order within 15 mins but took 45 mins to hr for kids meal and 2 starters to come out 2 us. Then a further 40 mins for our mains once finished starters. Yes was few people placing phone orders and coming in to collect but to have one person doing phone orders, plus front of house serving is crazy. Could see people left waiting ages on takeaways, one person been told all ur order ready apart from one item that they forgot to put on. Poor person waiting over 20 mins Food was so yummy but wait time was ridiculous

30/09/2025: The time to be served was fast and the waiters are very welcoming you feel so calm and the inside is beautiful i got the chiken chow mein wich was lovely definitely recommend this place

07/10/2025: Do not eat out of this chipper my family was eating food and these things on the food I was vomiting everwere

29/05/2025: Ordered food didn't get it. Git hung up on when I rang to complain

25/03/2025: Probably the worst food I've eaten from a Chinese. It's sad to watch prices go up and the product quality go down dramatically. Restaurants are getting away with this, creeping prices and low quality food.

06/02/2025: Amazing food very fresh and delicious. Delivery driver is very polite he is also very mannerly

11/05/2025: This restaurant was amazing truly delicious i could of ate every thing there staff were very friendly and I felt a warm welcome everything matched my expectations 😋 😊 ❤️ ☺️ ♥️ 😀 😋

02/04/2025: Placed a takeaway order, when driving in they called to say they were too busy and could I wait longer or accept a refund. Accepted the refund option. Then received a call about 2 hours later to say the food was ready, fair enough we all make mistakes, but explained it to the restaurant about the refund and they said refund would be sorted out, 4 days later there is still no refund!!

07/12/2025: If anything happens After Dark, stays in After Dark

23/11/2025: I am several years in the Republic of Ireland and few times I went to this bar. In general it's fine and today was quite disappointing experience. I ordered Bulmers cider and was served in a glass bottle and left in quiet part of pub to charge the mobile phone device and was enjoying atmosphere, beverage and didn't stay so long and bartender arrived and told me if I finished with Bulmers then needed to leave from premises even it was in my area only myself in pub. He wanted to took me a few mL of cider so I requested to enjoy next one minute and then left. Positive experience with several different occasions visit and today turned to bad experience.

05/12/2025: We got takeaway, fresh and tasty burgers.

30/11/2025: I was in the restaurant 30.11.2025 and I can say that it was the worse experience ever. I have got chili wrap without cucumber . And burgers without pickles. And crew was angry on me just because I asked for having right product!

06/01/2026: Place is hard to park there to collect order and if dine in is available in future will be great

16/12/2025: Very tasty halal pizza 🍕 chicken and veggie mix
