Le Pain Quotidien review: our verdict
The best of Le Pain Quotidien is in a basket: homemade viennoiseries and pastries, sourdough bread, and a pain au chocolat that even reconciles the disappointed. The setting follows, in the Anfa Clubs' Towers, with fountains outside and enough calm to forget the business district all around.
The venue suits a quiet coffee, a sweet break between appointments, or a family morning, since an area is provided for children; Wifi also allows you to work there. But service can let you down: menus take a long time to arrive, orders lag, salty plates are often bland for their price, and even tea is served in a paper cup. Bad calculation, therefore, for a full breakfast before a 9 a.m. meeting.
The dish to order: a pain au chocolat or a pastry, with a coffee. The trap: the table breakfast, long to come and disappointing in taste; better to stick to the bakery counter, from 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.
