Le Pain Quotidien is a lovely concept and a great favorite in my Southern California neighborhood. I particularly like the big and rustic communal table, the pots of jam, the large steaming cups of cappucino. This is a breakfast and lunch place and great for solo diners. A great place to spread out your newspaper and eat a fine croissant, perhaps some yogurt, granola and berries or a great ham and cheese omelet for breakfast. I can only speak about the Brentwood location which serves breakfast until noon on weekedays and until 3 on weekends. They open at 7:00AM. Lunch is excellent. Sandwiches are served open face and come with a fresh green salad. The curried chicken salad, served with chutneyis outstanding. As this is a chain and a franchise, I believe they do an admirable job (at least, in my neighborhood).
