The best restaurants in Portarlington

19/05/2025: Thank you to Jess Elton and Staff for always delivering the best quality food and service. If you have any occasion and need food delivered and still want it piping hot these people are who you need to contact. I speak from experience after having 2 big party’s and everyone full till the next day with the amount of food they brought. The size never dampened the quality of the food either which we were thrilled about. We don’t have occasion that we don’t use this company for . They will always deliver and never let you down. Nothing like the friendly faces behind the counter and a catch up on a Friday when getting your food . It becomes the weekly routine you never knew you needed . A friendly family feel to the place. It’s a gem in the centre of Portarlington⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

26/04/2025: Eye-catching café on the main street, beautifully decorated with taste and style. With high expectations, I ordered their signature Hummingbird Cake. Unfortunately, I was quite disappointed. This cake is typically known for its exceptional moistness, light texture, and unique flavor—thanks to pineapple, banana, pecans, and a delicate cream. However, the slice I had bore little resemblance to that standard. It tasted more like banana bread, and the icing was just a thick slab of wet icing sugar, lacking any finesse. My 3-star rating is meant as encouragement for Hummingbird Café to revisit their recipe and bring it up to the level their beautiful café deserves. A little advice at the end... the side gate, like an alcove with tables, is just begging for the same atmosphere as the interior of the café.

19/02/2025: Blaw is the way to go. Coffee excellent. Got a telling off for ordering food and coffee off the same person. Fix that and excellent.

23/02/2025: Five big booms from me. Top Guinness.

13/02/2025: My wife and I honeymooned to Ireland 12 years ago. Portarlington was the first town we visited on our way across the country. The owner/owners (in 2013, hopefully same owners) are some of the kindest people I have met... To this day I will always remember the generosity, human connection and love. When they found out we were married that week and honeymooning to Ireland, they took a HUGE Guinness flag off their wall as a momento for our trip. I think of them often when I come across others who show that kind of love to me. Thanks for the memories... just thought I'd share some love back 12 years later!!! - Taylor
