Just yummy. The sandwiches were extremely delicious. The smell was great and the presentation very rich. Staff was very nice and the place is great
Le Pain Quotidien has branches all over London and the world. This particular branch has two floors with the lower level in the exposed brick railway arches. There is booth seating and also wooden tables and chairs. A big communal table is featured on both levels. Trains can be regularly heard at this cafe.
I am certain that, somewhere deep within the coding of WordPress, there is a limit to how many times I can complain about Waterloo being the breeding ground of restaurant chain outlets. For once, however, Le Pain Quotidien breaks through the stereotypical chain mediocrity that plagues much else
My good experiences with this chain keep improving after I suffered from a sever allergic reaction in the past few days and I'm now stuck to eat only fish or vegan options from the menus. I'm really happy to report that the range of vegan dishes here are great. The staff is a bit off at times and forget part of the orders, but are extremely polite when they realise their mistakes. The quality is high like in the other branches I've been to and the interiors of this one is quite fascinating with a nice cantina vibe. Good spot if you are in the area.
A really nice place to go for a cup of coffee and a snack. The staff is nice and helpful and the space is confortable. The flat white is very good.
Ate here as a quick snack and ordered from the pastry counter. Mine was very good with a great filling. Pastry was fresh and service was quick.
Having been to the India LPQ, I just went in for a cup of coffee. Had the roasted vegetables, beetroot hummus tagine. Wow!! Looked and tasted outstanding. The cappuccino was goof, as usual. Service was good, overall a lovely lunch for one. :) @
This particular branch of LPQ has the edge in some of the others in that it's always reasonably calm and unhurried compared to some of the others. There's nearly always tables and there's less of a hubbub and you can pass by the time with a tartine and tea in peace.
The avocado on toast is garnished with some seeds and although the application of sea salt is a little too liberal, it's a simple and healthy snack to keep me going through the day.
The chorizo and potato frittata is voted similarly uplifting by a friend, highlighting just how easy and simple it is to eat here!
This is a Belgian chain which has a good vegan and healthy food selection. It is in the style of a cafe, with good space for working, so if you're in the mids of midterms or dissertation writing, it is a good location for a little stress eating, whilst simultaniously creating an inspiring atmosphere, as South Bank is beautiful. There are also some communal tables, which makes the atmosphere a little more chilled. I like to sit here on a relaxed afternoon, sometimes hours on end, with a pastry and a tea, reading.
Good organic stew and terrines. Friendly and helpful service but place is understaffed so service is slow. Chicken stew was hearty and carrot cake was a tad too sweet for me. Lovely fresh mint tea.
Delicious options to eat here, from breakfast to dinner. We ate here for lunch, with good gluten free and vegetarian options.
Spacious and well-located. I arrived 30 mins early and was left alone to wait for my lunch date so that was nice too.
Definitely recommended!
I came across this little place accidentally while visiting London and wanting a coffee and cake with the family. It's actually larger than expeted with the basement tables; the theme is great! The food and drink arrived quickly and the waitress was really friendly. Hopefully by leaving a review I'll find this place again the next time I'm in London. It's a gem!
This place is somewhere I’ve only ever been for breakfast or lunch at, never dinner.
It has a beautiful French feel with rustic bread, basic but perfect scrambled eggs, and a richness to their food that still feels healthy.
We loved the options for breakfast and for lunch. The coffee is average, I wouldn’t go out of my way to come here just for coffee.
Try the buttered croissants warmed up, spreading more salted French butter on it with each bite. Delicious!
Nice cafe. Friendly staff. Nice interior design and atmosphere with cooler area downstairs, inside, to sit during hot summer days. We had a few bites. All good quality and tasty. Pastries are good, not much variety though, specially for vegans.
Nice place. Brunch set menu very good value and tasty. One between 2 of us enough with an extra pastry and hot drink. Only disappointment was they'd run out of peach juice so no Bellini though alternatives offered. Would visit again.
Absolutely wonderful evening, my first visit to this great restaurant and certainly will not be the last. I went with a friend who I have known for 20 years and we have dined together on many occasions. It was so hard to choose from the many and varied items. Our food was fantastic, especially the desserts, the staff were happy to discuss our choices and gave us excellent service throughout, many thanks to Adelina who was extremely professional and made us feel valued and welcomed. I have no hesitation in recommending Le Pain Quotidien for a food experience at its best. Enjoy!!!
Got the brunch set which came w a huge variety of food: breads, smoked salmon, soft boiled egg, yoghurt and choice of 2 drinks! Got the hot chocolate and orange juice. My friend had the lunch set.
Noticed a few people working w laptops, would say it's a cozy corner to chill w friends / get work done. Their tables also have hooks for your bags!
Beautiful place and great food. An option to enjoy a good brunch with family and friends. Highly recommended.
The Le Pain offers a very fast paced, and optimistic setting in the heartbeat of the Southbank. The decor is complementary to the dark, old London style 1888. Food is good, and coffee is very well made. Eccentric presentation. Overall staff can be a little calm, but they have a good rhythm of ensuring that everyone is content.
Pleasant, healthy, speedy, busy. Reasonable prices for the location, staff efficient and effective, mostly tourists eating
Amazing place for Sunday brunch. My partner and I were looking for a quick bite but ended up having a really lovely meal. We each had one of the brunch meals - less than £13 each for a pastry, boiled egg, bread, coffee, a peach Bellini, yogurt with granola, and some smoked salmon. Was absolutely delicious and such good value we will definitely be back. Interior is gorgeous and a lot bigger than it seems from the outside, so don't worry if it looks busy as you're walking past!
Super service, fast ordering, delicious food. Perfect spot for a delicious breakfast. Location: 10/10
I like this place. Very relaxing with the nice staff and really good coctails, salads and pastry. Just the sticky tables are not nice.
