The best restaurants in Portlaoise

18/01/2026: Nicely decorated restaurants stone walls and ceiling beams,wasn't impressed by the service ! We were waiting 20mins to be even asked for our orders thats criminal !! ,no offer of jug of water or titbits to nibble on as you wait.The food itself was ok the burger is super thin you get 2 on your bun to try make it look decent,the fries were average, also what put me off returning here is the noise of the music blaring I feel like you're competing with the racket playing while trying to have a conversation.

13/01/2026: A but chilly inside but the food was great

08/04/2026: Stopped by on my travels around Ireland... Can honestly say that this is the best place to go in Port Laoise! Great customer service the owner was very attentive & pizza was amazing.

07/04/2026: Love the carbonara and pepperoni pizza. Girls are so welcoming and friendly!

23/04/2026: Good service and staff were nice but the food was horrible would not return.

23/04/2026: Food is amazing every time without fail would definitely recommend

16/10/2025: We were visiting family and went there for something to eat. From getting there it felt like we were welcome. We got our table and Danni Kennedy served us. She was very welcoming and friendly. It just felt that she could not do enough for us. The food was excellent and very tasty.

16/10/2025: Went to Jeremiah’s over the weekend, lovely pub with a lovely atmosphere. We got served by Danni who was very friendly and professional, a credit to your business. Will be returning soon

31/12/2025: Great to sit out in beer garden and have a well deserved pint with great company who were full of wit and wisdom.

17/12/2025: Great staff sound lads great business . I go here alot to play music and everyone is sound

03/05/2026: The service was excellent. My nachos were very very nice. However the malt milkshakes have gotten VERY small. A large is €6+ and fills only two very small glasses. They aren't as nice as they used to be. Definitely a once in a while choice of place to eat as it's gotten quite expensive. Cannot fault the restaurant itself at all.

01/04/2026: The food is always delicious, my only complaint is that it takes them a long time to serve food. But the taste of the food always makes up for the wait. Make sure you get an Oreo milkshake,it's worth it.

10/04/2026: Amazing food, steak is spot on everytime. Staff are exceptional

02/04/2026: This is a wonderful place to eat, portions are filling and the quality is outstanding. Take your budget and throw it out the window because you will be spending a pretty penny, but if you have a special occasion or really want to treat yourself it is worth it. The menu has evolved over the years and I am happy to say that I have enjoyed every change. Staff are wonderful and professional, they really help to craft and facilitate an outstanding experience whatever the occasion.

04/12/2025: Beautiful place that's always bursting with life. Broad menu including vegetarian and vegan options. Sells alot of local produce supporting small food and drinks business.

16/11/2025: Very nice place, homey atmosphere, food is very tasty. Thank you.

19/08/2025: Lively. Great ballad sessions. Friendly staff. Nice pint of Guinness.

03/12/2025: Where to go for a pint and a chin wag

07/08/2025: One of the best pubs in town. You will be doing well to find a better pint

31/08/2025: Good selection of wine. Would like to see some more South African wines and a bit more range. Great selection of add ons for hampers.

09/08/2025: Gorgeous little coffee shop with friendly staff. Great for coffee and a bottle of wine!!

05/12/2025: The food was amazing, super fresh fish, home made chips, large portions, the desserts were top class, everything was perfect. Polite staff, we loved the cozy and old fashioned atmosphere.

26/11/2025: Perfect portion size, super friendly staff and great ingredients. This will be our new go to spot in Portlaois

10/04/2026: We visit regularly. The food is standard for Japanese cuisine, everything is always fresh. The staff greets and sees you off with a smile, there are always a lot of people on holidays. I recommend.

01/03/2026: We ordered sushi bento and tempura bento. The waiting time was not too long, and the food was quite tasty overall. However, when we asked the waitress how many pieces of sushi were included in the bento, she couldn’t answer. It was a bit surprising that she didn’t know this detail. Overall, a good place with decent food, but the staff could know the menu better.

06/05/2026: I was at a function in the upstairs bar. Friendly staff. Good beer . Fine place for a party.

22/03/2026: Nearly €7 for a pint of absolute muck. Myself and two friends all said the same, as for the staff chatting in the corner to each other waiting ages for a pint in an almost empty pub,then when they do decide to serve you the pint is pulled straight!, we all left half a pint or more behind us, Pj is in the game a long time now he should really have a training day for staff every now and then,

30/08/2025: What a gem. Service was just top class, friendly, fast efficient. Value for money. Toilets clean, wash basin in mens needed clean is all & maybe needs an upgrade aesthetically wise. Eggs benedict - top quality bacon 🥓 was very tasty, could be but crispier, but personal preference. Hollandaise was delicious, lemon coming through. Poached eggs perfect runny... Coffee & tea solid. Highly highly recommended 👌 #supportlocal

26/08/2025: Food and service is always very good. People working there are nice and helpful. There is nothing to complain about. Highly recommend.
