Editorial Review for Le Pain Quotidien – by Jennifer Schwartz

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.

User Reviews for Le Pain Quotidien

4 Star Rating: Recommended

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

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

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
