What People Are Saying About Le Pain Quotidien
Featured Review

In Short – Light and airy as a farmhouse, the restaurant's simple decor and pine furnishings radiate rustic ambience. Sophisticates gather at a long communal table, while couples sneak away to private seats in the back. The menu features salads, soups and house-specialty tartines (open-face sandwiches) with fillings like imported French ham, duck pâté, Gruyere cheese and Scottish smoked salmon. There are also colorful fruit tarts that pair well with a two-fisted mug of coffee.

Le Pain could use some marketing efforts
by MichaelLivingston at Citysearch
Often businesses 'open their door' because they have 'location' and expect customers to just come in because of the location, with no regard to quality of product, or customer service. UNfortunately Le Pain has fallen into a rut and is no longer providing the best quality product, and certainly is pricing themselves out of the market. I hear this from lots of folks. For the quality it is NOT worth the price. One key thing to having a Cafe` in West Hollywood is to have FREE WiFi, high quality product, and exemplary customer service, especially if you have the chutzpa to charge high prices in this economy!
Symply Delicious!

Le Pain Quotidien has a great selection of fresh breads, pastries, croissants, brioches, pains aux raisins, apple turnovers, belgian waffles... It's a great place to go to for breakfast and lunch (salads, tartines, omelets, soups). I also like to go there to meet my friends (nice outdoor area at the melrose location) and enjoy a coffee and pastries in the afternoon with them!
- Pros: Great place for breakfast, casual lunch
- Cons: None
Good food, pleasant atmosphere
by grendlekitty at Citysearch
I stopped at this place randomly with a friend and ended up being very pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere was quaint and peaceful with a European feel. I had the mushroom soup, both creamy and rich, served with crusty fresh bread, and a pomegranate mimosa which was perfect, not too sweet. Service was friendly and prompt and their prices reasonable. Their desserts looked amazing, next time I'll have to try one.
- Pros: good food, good drinks, nice setting
- Cons: parking on weekends
Great for a lite bite!
by missfoodie2006 at Citysearch
I really like LPQ on Melrose. The patio is lovely and lends itself well to a leisurely lunch. The breads are all tasty, and I love the jams and nutella that accompany. The salads and tartines are light and fresh -- I especially like the tuna tartine, which is fresh and lemony, and the curry chicken pops with flavor. And it leaves room for cappucino and dessert, of which the cherry clafoutis and belgian waffle with berries are standouts. Bon Apetit!
- Pros: Patio Seating, Food
Alright

We dined at Le Pain because Urthh down the street was packed. We ordered an egg salad sandwich which was french style, open faced. It was delicious but the portion was very small for a price like that. The latte is decorated with a heart! The coffee was good. We also had a pistachio tart which was alright. The ambience is really nice. The table next to ours ordered the meats and cheese platter and it comes with a big basket of bread. I think that would have been a better deal and you can try the variety of meats and cheeses.
- Pros: Ambience
- Cons: Price
