    We had lunch here today, it serves good, continental style food and makes me feel a sort of comforting nostalgia for a life I have never led. Large, wooden, country house style tables on stone floors, breakfast items such as porridge, muesli and boiled eggs as well as a bread menu! Heaven.

    overpriced for the quality
    Current
    I also fell in love with Le Pain Quotidien during a trip to Brussels - I liked the relaxed atmosphere, the huge salad platters and the excellent, simple and good quality food. Every time I am in Belgium I try and go again.

    So I was really excited to see that branches were opening in London. I was a bit shocked when I saw the prices - the same in pounds as the Brussels branch would charge in Euros - but I accepted that this was London, and nice bits of London at that, and I thought that it would be worth it.

    I was really disappointed by what turned up - we got bog-standard salads, with none of the high-quality ingredients that I was expecting. I had the antipasti platter - I could have made a nicer one myself after a quick trip round Sainsbury's - and my friend had the seafood salad - limp lettuce leaves and defrosted prawns.

    Such a pity - if it was as good as the ones in Belgium, I would be eating there every week!

    I first fell in love with le Pain Quotidien when I lived in Brussels. This global chain offers high quality baked goods and meals. Their superior choice of hams and soups are a must. Most are organized so that when seated you are part of a larger table creating a cosy, friendly and almost familial feeling during the meal.

    Nothing beats entering this place on a cold winter's day; the warm, delicious fumes enticing you to stay for a while, grab a coffee or some soup.

    Why do French women stay skinny? Well, it's greatly aided by placing such as this.

    Breaking Bread Together

    Built under one of the railway arches, with the bare stone still exposed, Le Pain Quotidien by Waterloo offers a wonderful rustic feel. The atmosphere is in perfect parallel to the traditional, hearty food served. With small tables or the large communal table in the centre, it is possible to enjoy a private meal or, quite literally, break bread with others.

    Specialising in freshly baked breads and pastries, the breakfasts are a simple dream. For lunch, the tartines (open sandwiches) are a delight and the salads and soup are accompanied by some of the best organic bread you'll find.

    The evening menu offers a modest selection of dishes, but all very generous in flavours. And the selection of wine is superior, made even more enjoyable by the quality glasses it is served in if you're anything like me, you'll appreciate a good balloon glass for your red!

    This place manages to combine a sophisticated feel with an air of informality, and consequently I'll often stop by just for coffee and a scone you'd be hard pushed to find anything more satisfying!
