Town Attractions

Abbeyleix – The Culinary Capital of the Midlands

While this may seem an ambitious title to aspire to, aspire to it we do! We believe that in our small town, quality should overtake quantity and nowhere does this show more clearly than in our cuisine. Our many restaurants and cafes boast a range of indigenous dishes as well as those with a more international flavour and for those who prefer the DIY approach to fine dining, our shop shelves are groaning with farm fresh produce, homemade breads, cakes and jams and local organic produce. Our country market in the square on Saturday mornings also brings fresh international breads, farm cheeses, fish, farm produce and so much more to the fare available.
