Laois locals can avail of a new selection of food chains in Portlaoise, with the opening of a new food hall!

The Oasis of Taste food hall chain has officially opened in Laois Shopping Centre, bringing three new businesses to Portlaoise.

"We’re excited to bring our unique blend of brands, including O’Briens Sandwich Café, Abrakebabra, and Bagel Factory, to the local community," Oasis of Taste recently told the Leinster Express / Laois Live.

The food hall is located in the retail space previously rented by Rafter's café, which sadly closed in January 2023.

Currently, Laois Shopping Centre has an Eddie Rockets, Namo Mexican Burrito Bar, a Costa Coffee and a Rainbow Scoops ice cream stand. 

This new food hall marks Oasis of Taste's eight location to open in Ireland, with locations in five Dublin shopping centres, City Square Shopping Centre in Waterford, and Scotch Hall Shopping Centre in Drogheda.
