Buy their rolls most days for my lunch. Usually the seeded ones.Love their pretzels and the kids love most of the stuff there as well.
Price wise cant really be beaten.

The pretzels are great, might do my shopping there this afternoon after reading this

I love the bakery there. Use it alot.

Love the fresh bakery section, went there this mornin for fresh croissants for breakfast, the kids love them. Rolls and French baguette very good value. Goes to show how we are overcharged in other shops.

I find the Lidl bakery stuff good value for what it is. One of the reasons its cheaper than real fresh baked bakery good is that its so mass produced and not really the same quality.

It is all par-baked in a central location, frozen or refridgerated, and finished off in each shop, like the Cuisine de France stuff in Spar shops, or Tesco.

I think they have a better range that other similar places - rolls with pumpkin seed and rye bread etc.

Pretzels from there are awesome, and the chocolate croissants

The sourdoughs and rye type loaves are fantastic. You can cut them to your preferred width in the machine - great value and loads of flavour.

There's no cutting machine in our local Lidl.

if you think the Lidl Pretzels are nice you should taste a proper one from a proper bakery!
Still, its good enough to keep the kids happy as fresh pretzels are the best baby rusk type thing ever.

And in case you havent tried it, pretzels with butter are the biz!
Either split the pretzel in the middle with a damn sharp knife and smear the bugger with butter


OR
just go freestyle with a tub of butter and smear the butt ends as you go!
Yum.
Butter and Brezn are just a brilliant combination

They're in Rathmines & Citywest - the loaf really goes a long way when cut properly I have to say. Maybe only the bigger ones have it?

I'll take the mass-produced sourdough over anything cuisine-de-france/ala-tesco any day!

Cusine de France/Tesco/Lidl bakery products are all made exactly the same way. It's all pre-baked or pre-created rubbish that's loaded with salt and chemicals that anyone without any bakery skills can just toss in an oven.

If you want truly good bread then you either need to make your own or else take the plane to Paris.
