Le Pain Quotidien is a Belgian bakery and restaurant on Madison Avenue, bringing the tradition of handmade sourdough bread to the Upper East Side. Every morning starts with organic flour, slow fermentation and fresh-baked loaves - the foundation of everything we do. Whether you're stopping in for breakfast, settling into a long brunch, grabbing a light lunch or pausing for specialty coffee, our menu is built around simple, wholesome food. Croissants, tartines, seasonal salads, house-made desserts and a wide selection of vegan and vegetarian dishes - all made with natural, organic ingredients whenever possible. Pull up a seat at our communal table and enjoy the pleasure of eating well in the heart of the UES. Dine in or take away.
