I have known about this place for a while but I decided to try it out with a friend today.
Le Pain Quotidien originated in Belgium, is simply translated as “daily bread”. The story of Le Pain Quotidien begins with simple ingredients - flour, water and salt – transforming it with patience, passion and artisanal skill into a signature organic sourdough. Their philosophy is to use organic ingredients where possible and it clearly shows in their food.

| Large communal table made from reclaimed wood |
The decor is sort of French country style with long communal wooden tables and wicker basket. The idea of the communal table came about when Alain Coumont opened the firstLe Pain Quotidien in Brussels back in 1990 and had a long seamstresses table to accommodate his café guests. Traditional jams and a variety of spreads can be found on the tables and the whole place has a good atmosphere.

| Crab and Avocado with cucumber and spring onions Tartine |
I had the Crab and Avocado with cucumber and spring onion Tartine which tasted delicious! The tartine is basically a couple of slices of bread topped with different toppings. It’s simple and light, served on a ceramic tablet which can also be bought from the giftware shelves along with the other condiments.
Also something I didn’t know until today was that Le Pain Quotidien serves coffee, lattes, and cappuccinos in bowls. A bit of a surprise but I like that.

The food was great and the place had a good vibe, I’ll definitely be going back again soon to test out their pastries!!
