    Hi everyone,
    Im hoping someone can point me in the direction of some good macaroons in Dublin City. M&S and Butlers both do them but I didnt find either of them very appealling. I'm looking for tasty, fresh macaroons.
    Hope someone can help.
    Thanks:)

    Cocoa Atelier on Drury St has them. They are very good, but expensive compared to France. I think the ones in Brown Thomas are even more expensive though...

    I dont know about dublin,but if im there,sometimes i go up on the weekends i would have a look in,in limerick if anybody goes around there they do them in a health food shop on thomas st,they are fresh and you can buy them in a set of six.You cant buy them singly unfortunately but they are very tasty and worth the splurge.

    OP do you want old school macaroon bars? My corner shop sells them, 30cent, or I think the Irish ones are 50cent.

    I'm pretty sure it's the fancy confectionary item rather than the old school bar that they're after.

    I do see where LanceStrong is coming from - macaroons to me are

    which Fallon & Byrne occasionally have as little 50c go-along-with-your-coffee treats if that's what you're after OP

    I know it's the same word but the little coloured almond meringues are always macarons in my head. I get them in the cocoa atelier, €3.50 coffee & macaron offer is nice. You can also get them in Chez Max on Baggot St. (Starbucks have them too but have never tried as find Starbucks cakes bland & hugely over priced & the ones near me look like big old macaron burgers)
