What People Are Saying About Le Pain Quotidien
The Editor

In Short – As light and airy as a country farmhouse, the simple decor and pine furnishings radiate rustic ambience. Local sophisticates gather at a long communal table, while couples sneak away to private seats in back. The menu features salads, soups and house-specialty tartines (open-face sandwiches) with fillings like imported French ham, duck pate, Gruyere cheese and Scottish smoked salmon. For a snack, a colorful fruit tart pairs well with a two-fisted mug of aromatic coffee. –

Great sandwiches, soups, and pastries!
by maureenuw at Citysearch
This is the closest to real French pastries I have found. The raspberry tart is almost as good as those I had when I studied in France. The bread is quite good and I am partial to their tuna sandwich and they always have delicous soups. Brunch is great too - I recommend the bread basket that comes with a delicious hazlenut spread - sort of like Nutella but without the chocolate, and two delicious jams. Great cafe au lait as well. I love this place!
- Pros: Great food
- Cons: None that I can think of

Excellent budget choice
by livingamelie at Citysearch
This is a great place to go for lunch or dinner for those who don't want to spend more than $15 on a drink and a meal. The sandwiches are divine, and the bread is obviously fresh. The setting is relaxing. (probably not for the very picky eater, but the staff is so nice that they will probably do what they can to help out.) A block from the Central Park 72nd St. entrance, and about 2 blocks from the subway.
- Pros: Quality, Quantity
- Cons: , often pretty busy

There is hardly a place better in this neighborhood for great coffee, light lunches, and a relaxing atmosphere. Very French!
