We happened upon this lovely little sweets shop with an expansive offering of detectables, with quaint tables and an excellent tea menu. We each ordered our sweet of choice, for me the Lemon Cake and for my Hubby, the Rose Cake. I then ordered the Laduree Specialty Tea and he ordered the Marie Antoinette Tea. We both loved the cakes, both were the perfect amount of sweet and flavor and the teas were so complimentary in flavor to our sweets. The service was very good as well. I would definitely recommend!

Discount tarts! (4/5 green stars) I had a good experience at…read moreHansel and Gretel last week. The most exciting thing, I have to admit, were the discounted mini tarts at the end of the day - only €1.75 each! These would cost $6 or $7 each where I live in San Francisco, plus you can feel relatively guilt-free about buying a few as you're helping to avoid food waste! I bought three and especially liked the raspberry tart and the pear-raspberry. Had an oat milk flat white too (made with Ariosa coffee beans) and thought it was very good. The server was very friendly and helpful too. I'm also giving Hansel and Gretel Bakery & Patisserie 4/5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact, based on the following: Good quality baked items made from fresh ingredients; Coffee beans are from local micro roaster, Ariosa, which has some direct trade and organic offerings; pantry items for sale that support progressive local food companies; Hansel and Gretel has run bake sales to support charitable causes; discounted items at the end of the day helps avoid food waste. Items for improvement: Would be nice to see some vegan items - pastry and cakes made with vegan butter such as Naturl'i (available at Dunnes Stores) is just as good as pastry made from butter. It would also be good to see some tables in or outside the café that would then allow them to use ceramic cups instead of disposable cups. More vegetarian and vegan savory items would be good too (it was close to the end of the say so perhaps hard to judge). Please join the Green Stars Project movement by including an ethical rating with your own reviews!

The scones have got to be some of the best ever. I've had a lot in my travels and these are grand. The service is always excellent as well. The decor is as charming as it gets.

So far we have tried the Coffee & Walnut (coffee filling, coffee glaze, walnut coating) and Dubai, described as "A delightful fusion of Middle Eastern flavours, filled with crunchy, toasted kataifi pastry & rich pistachio cream topped with our handmade ganache & sprinkled with crushed pistachios!" Some of the more outlandish varieties include the Strawberries & Ice Cream Birthday Cake as well as some of the specialties for Easter, brightly decorated with bunnies, easter eggs, and the like. The coffee is very good too, prepared espresso-style (so order an Americano for a plain black coffee). Add to that reasonably prices, friendly service, a cheerful room, what more do you need? Be prepared for a moderate wait though; this place can be busy.

The entrees were more memorable. I had the Fillet Of Irish Beef. I hardly ever order filet mignon but I'm glad I did. It may well be the best I've ever had. With Café de Paris butter, shallot pureé, pepper sauce, rocket (arugula), and a side of french fries. The flavor of the meat itself was incredible and the three sauces complemented it perfectly. It was cooked to a perfect medium rare as ordered. French fries aren't normally something to get excited about but these were a gastronomic masterpiece; the insides soft and sweet, not starchy, the outsides browned and subtly crisp, and I don't know what they were fried in but these had so much flavor it must have been beef tallow or duck fat. I'd come here again just to have a platter of these amazing fries! The wife's Coq Au Vin Façon La Maison (chicken breast braised in red wine, smoked bacon, mushrooms, baby onions, roast carrot, pomme purée) was equally memorable. I've never considering ordering this, thinking it too simple or plain. Not this. The red wine sauce really elevated a simple braised chicken. And how do they make even a simple carrot taste so good? We each had a wine from the ample selection of by the glass offerings and shared a gingery dessert which we both enjoyed. The service was good and not rushed. Just don't be intimidated by the waiter, who announced when he brought the bill that tip was not included; it seems this could have been handled more subtly.

La Maison was a delight! It was rainy but we wanted to sit outside, and there's a covered outdoor area with lots of smaller 2- and 4-top tables, so we were seated there. It is on a side street in downtown Dublin, so not as busy as main streets but still lots of food traffic, which added to the lively ambience. It was cold outside, but we stayed warm under here. We had a lovely meal. We started with a bread basket and shared shrimp appetizer, which were both great. For the main course, I ordered the duck breast, which was prepared perfectly. My husband had the steak which was also cooked nicely. To drink, we had a couple of glasses of wine each; La Maison has a solid wine menu with lots of delicious French wines and a few Italian wines as well. The service was pleasant and friendly, and the prices were just about right for the food and wine quality. Overall we had a lovely experience and would dine here again.
