.It’s that time of year when we’re subjected to Cliff Richards, problematic relatives, and mince pies that disintegrate into crumbly dust if you so much as give them a little side-eye.
We can’t do anything about your relatives or their affinity for belting out Last Christmas, but we can steer you in the direction of Dublin’s best mince pies.
Two Pups
Santa might work hard, but Two Pups works harder. These guys have all your mince pie needs covered right up until the 23 December. We’re already mentally calculating how many of these we can eat in one sitting.
Fallon & Byrne
There are very few things that aren’t improved by great whiskey, and Fallon & Byrne clearly agrees. The OG food hall and bakery is adding a dash of Teeling’s best stuff to their shortcrust pastry this year, as well as fermented mincemeat inside and a light dusting of icing sugar on top.
Bread 41
Bread 41 is our go-to spot in London for creamy but not-too-sweet cruffins, and at this time of year, they add mince pies to their tempting counter selection. Just be sure to visit early in the day. If there’s one thing Dublin Creatives love more than whippets and overpaying for sardines, it’s mince pies.
Fable Bakery
While you were busy setting an alarm to remind you that December 8 is Christmas tree-buying day, mince pie-lovers know it’s the arrival of Fable Baker’s mince pies. These are aromatic, rich, and sell out quickly.
No Messin
During December, all roads lead to No Messin at Proper Order. A favourite among D7 locals, No Messin makes shiny mince pies with the shortest of shortcut pastry and fills them with fruits soaked in plenty of booze. On a sunny winter’s day, we’d recommend taking yours down the road to Phoenix Park and having a basque in the winter sun.
