The best restaurants in Portarlington

05/12/2025: We got takeaway pizza and chips. Worst pizza we have had. We never went back.

18/10/2025: Staff were very friendly and accommodating, threw in some freebies for us as well, due to not having our desired toppings, which is always a great thing. Fast and friendly.

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.

25/10/2025: Food is brilliant here. Have been coming here for 15 years. Lovely place with lovely staff.

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 👍

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.

06/12/2025: So Im out having a Xmas drink first time in along time and Ive just moved the town and please be advised I was told this pub was somewhere to go to enjoy and relax but they bar man was horrible and insulting and rude i didn't even bother to order a drink for someone to judge someone is a horrible person and place and he said he didn't know me well I didn't know your pub and I will never know it for they horrible disgusting judgemental way they barman was so that was my experience 2seconds

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

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!

07/03/2026: Waited over an hour and rang to discover they hadn't even sent it and when it arrived it was cold and not nice

27/01/2026: Love the food and the staff are really polite

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.
