The best restaurants in Portlaoise

27/12/2025: I always look forward to coming home because I know we'll be having Nino's at some point and it always hits the spot.

01/11/2025: Real Italian chips, great staff I would definitely recommend, everything I have eaten has been really good and very fresh!!!! I will go back again.

12/10/2025: I like the place,went for swimming but the water was cold

04/10/2025: I have been using Leisure centre for about 3 years, it is notoriously the worst gym in Portlaoise on account of the small space lacking some serious equipment and horrible changing room facilities. I still enjoyed it as the price correlated to the quality/size and was usually quite and had a lovely crowd. When renewing my membership after the remodel the price had sky rocketed only being a few euros cheaper then Midlands which has much better classes, changing rooms, spa discounts, etc. There is an obvious issue with maintaining staff especially in the last few months. Most of the staff inside the gym are lovely but the front desk staff always seem to have a horrible attitude and seem frustrated with the most basic questions. What has driven me to the point of a negative review is there has been a huge influx of children/very young teenagers using the gym. Younger people being there would not be an issue if they werent so disruptive, they are wrestling each other, half of them wearing school uniforms (jeans) leaving phones and other belongings over all the equipment that they’re not using so it cannot be used by other members. If say your using a bench in the dumbbell section theres 5 kids crowding around one on another and they are accidentally sitting on top of you and bumping into you with weights in hand making it impossible to work out. Not to mention the fact they’re constantly hitting, pushing, and pulling at each other around other people who are paying a high price to just clear their head after a long work day. The gym is much too expensive for what it is and to pay that much to not be able to workout because they have no regard for anyone else and staff instead of asking them to mellow down a little are fistbumping them, taking selfies with them and actively encouraging the behaviour. My partner asked the other day who was in charge and the woman who identified herself as so, I asked her this Thursday what time does the gym close at on Saturdays and she said half 5 yet this Saturday was kicked out at 5 because “they’re closed.” They keep repainting the place but no effort to maintain the changing rooms or maintain any sort of gym environment. If I had paid for the month I would simply change gyms but I paid for the year in May and have noticed such a drastic steady decline since then. Extremely disappointing.

12/01/2026: The spice bag with a free drink and tasty! Wow!

02/01/2026: Top class will definitely order again delivery was the best and the passenger jack conroy was very kind and respectful

27/10/2025: I hate leaving negative reviews but feel like tonight I have too. Yes staff were lovely and food too. But service lenght was crazy. When arrived was one couple having their mains, we told to pick table (2 adults 1 kid) then another couple came in just after us. Placed order within 15 mins but took 45 mins to hr for kids meal and 2 starters to come out 2 us. Then a further 40 mins for our mains once finished starters. Yes was few people placing phone orders and coming in to collect but to have one person doing phone orders, plus front of house serving is crazy. Could see people left waiting ages on takeaways, one person been told all ur order ready apart from one item that they forgot to put on. Poor person waiting over 20 mins Food was so yummy but wait time was ridiculous

30/09/2025: The time to be served was fast and the waiters are very welcoming you feel so calm and the inside is beautiful i got the chiken chow mein wich was lovely definitely recommend this place

28/01/2026: for food is very tasty Very tasty! Burger 🍔🍟 and gorgeous chips. The staff are very friendly all the time I go in there. I get very good service. Totally recommend this place in Bray county. Wicklow 👍😁❤️

24/01/2026: Mezza Pizza just opened in Bray and ordered tonight for the first time. Blown away by how good the food is, best takeout pizza in Bray by far, really delicious!

10/01/2026: Omg u should try there chicken burgers sooo nice and the staff are the best every time I go there I try something different and it's always good so I would give them 120 out of 100 xxx😅

25/08/2025: Over priced, tiny portion of chips, kebab barely any salad or chicken in it. Fed up of these places ripping people off. Won't be going back.

06/01/2026: Place is hard to park there to collect order and if dine in is available in future will be great

16/12/2025: Very tasty halal pizza 🍕 chicken and veggie mix

20/01/2026: Food is bad . Not the best place to eat.

16/01/2026: Excellent food for affordable price. Food is always fresh, and delivery of food is quick.

27/12/2025: It was my first and last time with Domino's Portlaoise. Very unpleasant experience as I received overcooked and burned pizza. Couldn't expect that from this brand atleast !!

10/12/2025: Went into shop and had to wait 5 mins for someone to show at the counter. A ginger haired girl served me with not even a greeting. I asked for a 9 inch pepperoni pizza and payed 12 euro. Got my pizza and realized I was given a 11 inch. I was unhappy as I wasn’t hungry enough for a 11 inch and left overs were throw into bin. I then went back up to the counter to get a drink and was waiting another 5 mins with nobody to serve me. The staff here are always 10/10 but this is not the first time this one particular staff has been rude and looked like she doesn’t want to be there. I hope management brings this up Immediately.
