Bread Bar, Third Stop, Cuvee, Newsroom, The Ivy, Orso, Locanda Veneta... these restaurants are literally a nine iron from my apartment. So just chalk it up to gluttony that I want more. Le Pain Quotidien just opened even closer to my apartment than Bread Bar. And although there is one .58 miles north and another 1.52 miles west, I still prefer the walking-distance location. I guess it proves that Los Angeleno's desire for bread is insatiable.

Rock Sugar Belgian Waffle, the pieces of rock sugar are inside, very cruchy and sugary, yum! When I was chilling at this Belgian chain after a day of shopping, a familiar face approached me. Turns out she's also an ArtCenter alumni. Indeed a small world!

Just returned from New York City. Every time I go there, I love the city more and more. On Friday, we took a stroll up to Central Park from our hotel in the Theatre District. Along the way, we stopped at Le Pain Quotidien on 7th Avenue to buy some breakfast pastries.

Chocolate mousse cake. Quite good! My entire xmas feels like nothing by shopping (in a non-fun task way). And when you're exhausted and wanted to sit down, LA is really seriously lacking non Starbuck sidewalk cafe with decent non-caffeine drinks and cakes...even at supposedly 'made for walking' section' like Promenade.

Since then this has became my fav lunch spot. Coffee is very good (drank out of a bowl ^^;;).Belgian Sardine and Beets. Beets' color are so strong that it stained their light wood table when I dropped some (and can't be wiped with water O_o;;;).

Chicken Curry Salad with harissa cranberry chutney. This place is blocks from my broker's office and I always knew about about it but never had the chance to go. Le Pain Quotidien is a Belgian chain cafe and bakery. The high ceiling, communal table and rustic faux country home interior is just so nice. The food are housemade and organic. Their so-called 'sandwich' are really more like tartines. Gosh I wish there's one in my neighborhood! (there're more chain on Melrose, Beverly Hills and Brentwood).
FULL REVIEW
Light and airy as a farmhouse, the restaurant's simple decor and pine furnishings radiate rustic ambience. Sophisticates gather at a long communal table, while couples sneak away to private seats in the back. The menu features salads, soups and house-specialty tartines (open-face sandwiches) with fillings like imported French ham, duck pâté, Gruyere cheese and Scottish smoked salmon. There are also colorful fruit tarts that pair well with a two-fisted mug of coffee.
