Le Pain Quotidien (French for “the daily bread”) is a bakery-restaurant group founded in Brussels in 1990 by Alain Coumont. As a young chef dissatisfied with the quality of bread available in Brussels, Coumont started making his own organic sourdough bread with just four ingredients: flour, water, salt and time. Le Pain Quotidien now has more than 210 bakeries in 19 countries. Our mission is to create meaningful connections in a home away from home, with simple but delicious and authentic and local cuisine made in-house.
