Le Pain Quotidien - City of New York

I absolutely loved it! The perfect location right across from Bryan Park. The chilled soup was served hot, which was delightful. I also enjoyed a warm ginger tea that hit the spot. As a bread lover, I felt like I was in heaven. I will definitely be returning!

With this restaurant just down the block from the hotel, we decided to give it a go before leaving the city. The dining room was very nice with lots of community tables. The staff and service were a little wanting. For instance, we asked for the bread that came with a dish on two occasions but never got it. The steel cut oatmeal with walnuts was good but not great. I also understand the mushroom quiche was a 7 of 10. The latte came out bland. It was fine for the experience but wouldn?t go back again.

While the location cannot be beat as it is right across the street from Bryant Park the food breakfast is a bit lackluster. I chose to eat indoors and was hoping for a great breakfast. The coffee was very good and was an interesting cup to drink out of. I ordered the breakfast bowl and when I tried to order without sweet potatoes I was told the it was pre made, so it couldn?t be customized. It was supposed to come with a sunny side up egg and what came out was a completely cooked egg with hard yoke which made the bowl a bit less appetizing because of the missing yoke. The one saving grace is the bread and danishes which look amazing. I purchased a cheese danish for my partner and she said the lamination was very good. Not bad for a quick bit but expect premade and not made to order food.

Food was pretty good but nothing to brag about. The servers seemed to get into a fight about who was going to serve our table which resulted in about 20 minutes with neither coming to help. This obviously soured our experience unfortunately. Can?t beat the location right up to Bryant Park

It was pretty good. We were sited right away and the service was good, a little rushed but for a place as busy as this it helps thing move faster for everyone. The food was delicious and the coffee was just as good. I would recommend this place if you have the time for a sit down breakfast.
