Food 8/10
This is Le Pain Quotidien's drawcard. Fresh bread is an order of magnitude better, and here they take advantage of this freshness and quality in all but a handful of their dishes. Although bread is one of the most traditional foods, when done well it adds a brilliant underlay for a great meal. However, bread is not the only thing they do well here. The Tartines are amazing, full of fresh and flavoursome gourmet ingredients, which combine well and make for a brilliant lunch. I would recommend sticking to the bread based options.
Service 5/10
The service here lacked in many aspects, with mixed up orders, inattention and poor communication. It seemed at times like we were an inconvenience.
Atmosphere 7/10
It feels very much like a traditional European bakehouse. Very interesting decor and open feel is more suited to a cafe lunch and chat more than romantic dinner. Smell of fresh bread adds to the appeal.
Value 9/10
The prices are quite good considering the quality of ingredients going into your meal. You could imagine this pricing at an establishment without waitservice.
Overall 7/10
We enjoyed going to Le Pain Quotidien and will be back. Service aside it was a great place to eat a weekend lunch.
