Le Pain Quotidien is a Belgian chain of restaurants. The first one I ever discovered was in Rue Archives in Paris. I have since eaten at these restaurants in New York, Los Angeles, London, Munich and Rome. I am currently staying quite close to Rue Archives, so I happily went to Le Pain Quotidien for breakfast, which, in my opinion, is what they do best.
You can sit at the communal table or a small one of your own.
Their range of bread and pastries is impressive.
I always have the boiled eggs with bread soldiers. There is plenty of bread left over, which is great, because Le Pain Quiotidien has the best chocolate spreads you will eat. If you order the eggs be sure not to gobble up all your bread straight away.
The thoughtful people at Le Pain Quotidien will also sell you some of their delicious spreads to take home.
I’m not usually one for chains, but this place is great. If anyone is listening, I want one in Brisbane.
