Croft Alley
Portlaoise
16/08/2025: Always a favourite of mine! The pacing of service, the flavour and quality of the food, the professionalism of staff, just perfect. Staff are very attentive to customers and just very friendly. Can't wait to come back again soon!
10/08/2025: Croft alley food is genuinely a little bit of Italy in Portlaoise- the food is as authentic as been in Rome or Florence, the pizza are just delicious and we love their in house Tiramisu (it’s all maybe even nicer than in Italy)
Yes highly recommend Croft Alley in every way.

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.

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.

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.

Jeremiah Grant Bar and Eatery
Portlaoise
13/08/2025: Food is always good. Nice restaurant/pub.
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. Young fella got the popcorn chicken with chips and it was spot on for him. We all had desserts, delish. The staff working there were very nice and we felt well looked after. Good music being played too that even had my smallest fella up bopping about. Lastly, big shout out to the Belgian waffle 🧇.

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
