History
It started out in 1990 at Brussels, Belgium. Founder Alain Coumont got the name from his father’s exclamation of “it’s not my daily bread” in French during his childhood.
Le Pain Quotidien has over 200 locations worldwide in 18 countries. They only get their meat from suppliers who raise them humanely and were certified by the Global Animal Partnership.
Review
The restaurant has a cozy and homey ambiance. Although it is located along a busy street, it would seem like you’ve been taken somewhere else once you step into it.
Their food is pretty good and their boulangerie-inspired menu places an emphasis on eating healthy, using choice organic ingredients as much as possible.
Every item in the menu is a pleasant choice for your palate. I recommend their breakfast sandwich, carrot cake, smoked salmon, and toasted Paris ham & gruyere croissant.
The service staff was attentive and accommodating in my experience. As with any other restaurant, you’re likely to experience long waiting times during peak hours.
