Croft Alley
Portlaoise
17/07/2025: What a lovely spot in portlaoise that I seemed to never notice before. The pizza here is incredible. The price is actually reasonable for the quality of pizza. You can get the pizza to takeaway which I have done a few times now and it's quite speedy. My only little problem is that the pasta dishes are quite small for the price.
15/07/2025: I like my pizzas and was looking forward to trying one here. The toppings were plentiful, and the pizza was cooked perfectly.

Brew Cafe
Portlaoise
10/07/2025: What a lovely find. Came for breakfast. Food was delicious and portions were huge!!
07/06/2025: Lovely place to go , it can get very busy though so be prepared to wait. I can't fault their service or their food. The only thing that let it down was the cakes. We ordered a slice of carrot cake to go and it was 7.50 for a fairly small piece. Very pricey. Prices in general are fairly high compared to other places.

The Bay Tree
Portlaoise
12/07/2025: A big shout out to Alan and Tamia (sorry if I’ve misspelled your names!), who took great care of both me and my Corgi on a sweltering day. My latte and my sizzling chicken lunch were both excellent, and the staff checked in on us regularly to make sure all was okay. Even more, Alan brought out ice water and snacks for my Corgi, Gussie, and Tamia held on to him so I could use the ladies. Other staff came out to say hello and check on us as well. All round, just a lovely place to eat, and we plan on returning!
01/07/2025: Lovely gluten free breakfast. Tara very understanding and accommodating of my allergies. Will be back.

The Wandering Elk
Portlaoise
21/07/2025: We were midway driving back to Dublin airport and pitstop at The Wandering Elk. The sour dough bread was amazing and toasted at the right texture that it doesn’t cut your mouth. The smashed avocado is super fresh. This restaurant is highly recommended by me, even the Karen of Karens wouldn’t even think of complaining to the manager. Minimalistic decorations on the wall, good placements. Go now.
16/07/2025: Food and coffee are good. Fine for me to get a takeaway of either. Seating looks uncomfortable. However, I wouldn’t bring my young children in here. Extremely inappropriate/offensive music being played for a cafe.

Akayu
Portlaoise
22/07/2025: Unfortunately the sushi was not fresh and tasted pretty bad. The rice was dry, not fresh and hard. If fresh fish is not available they should take it off the menu.
The waiting staff were friendly and professional.
20/07/2025: My favourite restaurant in Portlaoise. We are more inclined to order takeaway from here but we have eaten in a couple of times. The food is beautiful, it is always good quality. The takeaways are consistently good. My favourite things to order are the salt and chilli chicken, salt and chilli prawns and the rainbow. They also do a fantastic yaki soba and the curries and bento boxes are fabulous. The staff are absolutely lovely, the friendliest service in town. Can't praise this wonderful place enough.

31/07/2025: Ate here with my family last night and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Lovely menus for both adults and kids. I got the big burger, it came with chips and it was tasty tasty.

O'Gormans
Portlaoise
19/07/2025: O’Gorman’s is a clean, comfortable pub with good food and friendly staff. The menu has plenty of choice and the portions are generous. Service is fast and reliable. It’s a great place for casual meals, staff parties, quizzes, or team bonding events. There's plenty of space for groups, and the atmosphere is relaxed. A solid option for both social and work gatherings.
14/07/2025: Very nice food. Great selection. Would advise to book at weekends as can be very busy
