Luckily, one of the girls had had pizza the day before, so the latter won. Unfortunately, there isn't much along the motorway, so we had to go into a city/town and this trip we chose Portlaoise. What luck! We found the Portlaoise Chinese Restaurant by chance while we walked through the centre. On one side there's a takeaway and on the other, a modern and sparsely furnished dining area. I ordered my favourite, chicken with cashews and veg with fried rice. What arrived was a beautifully presented bowl of chicken with piles of cashews and vegetables. Just piles. And lovely fresh fried rice. I'm so delighted that I didn't fill up on the 2 baskets of prawn crackers they gave us. Just a word of advise if you're blowing into Portlaoise, head to this place. Great food. Nice staff. Not bad prices for eating at the restaurant. And if you live in Portlaoise and you haven't been. Well, shame on you!

I found it amazing that this place wasn't even on YELP yet! I have been in search of the best fresh…read morefish (cod) in Kilkenny -- and believe I have found the place. The cod is fresh and lightly battered. The portions are very good. In addition to this, the chips served here are probably the best I've had anywhere. I don't know if the chips are cut on-site, but they are very, very good. I have been to Caesar's twice in the past three weeks. It is at the side/back of a 'strip mall' on the edge of the city centre. This is only minutes from all the major tourist attractions (assuming that you are driving). While in there, I overheard another local tell the owner that Caesar's had the best chips in town. The owner was very friendly, as were the two staff behind the counters. It's a small place with nowhere to eat inside, but I could not wait to get the fish/chips back home so just snarfed them in my car. I am fairly new to Kilkenny and had received this place as a recommendation from a local friend -- and it did not disappoint. (He was also spot on about Langston's -- review pending.) So nice to 'discover' a place not even on YELP. If you love great, fresh fried cod with chips that are so good you will not want to add ketchup ('red sauce') or mayonnaise -- get yourself to Caesar's. (I would like to try the other food he offers -- a full range of take-away -- but can't pass on the fish.)

Local and family run with attentive waiter/waitress service, bang in the centre of town. Beats the Irish big chain type diners, hands down (freshness, service and price) and you are supporting a local business. Open 7 days a week (from 9am Mon to Sat and 10am Sun) and stays open late during the week and to wee hours over the weekend. Lots of great American 50s styling topped with a good dose of Irish friendliness. Head on over all you rockabilly, hipster and retro seekers!

There is a ton of seating and you have a great view of the castle through the window. It is set up like a buffet where you choose a meat and your sides then you can look at the desserts. It was a little pricey because all the desserts are separately priced but it was so worth it. The staff were very helpful on describing each item. The best was the berry apple crumble pie, it was a burst of flavor when I bit into it. I rarely say "wow" when I eat something and did that twice here.
