"Very unpleasant experience. Rude staff. My husband and I went there for a brunch before travel. It was supposed to be our only meal for many hours so we wanted to eat well. I asked for a toast, my husband asked for a salad and a small curry with bread and we also shared some slices of bread with hummus. When we started asking for the food the waiter started laughing at us, saying that it was too much food for just the two of us. My husband explained that we were going to travel and not eat for a while (not like he had to explain anything). We thought that maybe the waiter said that because the portions were big, but when it came it was normal to small, so it really didn't make any sense that judging. Even if we were really eating a lot, which was not the case, nobody should treat somebody like that. Every time the waiter came to our table he started laughing at us, saying that that was food for four people. They prefer people to sit there all day drinking the same cup of coffee then giving them money for that expensive ordinary food."

Although the restaurant was quite busy, I had to wait a while to be served, but the food was delicious and fresh.

Great service! Reasonable prices. From outside you would not see how big actually this place is. Highly recommended for taking a little break from sightseeing here View menu

Me and my partner visited here whilst on a trip to London over the weekend! We enjoyed the food and service was extremely good considering they were rushed off their feet! I would definitely come back for a quick affordable meal if ever I’m in the city and need a quick bite!

I visited this Covent Garden street cafe for lunch. Delicious fresh food including a vegan baguette which I really enjoyed. Friendly staff and a nice atmosphere a great place to visit in between enjoying the shops in and around Covent Garden. Thanks for a nice lunch. Recommended!

Service was not great, I went yesterday with a friend in the early evening and the waiter, threw the menu's on the table and did not show good customer service or interaction. Apart from this the food was nice. I did expect more from Le Pain Quotidien considering the last one I went to over two years ago in Brussels Rue Dansaert, was better by far.. Apologies but I have to only rate 3 stars View menu

Initially, I was seated poorly by a rather serious waitress who seemed to lack enthusiasm or a warm demeanor, perhaps she wasn't in the best mood. However, she was soon replaced by a lovely and friendly waitress who instantly brightened the experience. The food was incredibly fresh and delicious, especially the baked eggs and vegetables, as well as the side of baked mushrooms. She recommended the almond croissant, which was outstanding. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and would definitely recommend this place. Thank you!

Baked eggs literally throw all raw ingredients mushroom, onions, eggs, etc. In the dish and put in oven. Result is raw onions, raw mushroom and hard rock eggs with no taste whatsoever. Complained and was told they can redo for me but it will come out exactly the same as this. The waitress with long curly brown hair was not apologetic at all, probably get these type of complaints all the time. Shame on you Le Pain Quotidien, was a fan, no more. May be it is only this branch but there are so many other nicer places. Avoid! The other waitress was very nice, I feel sorry for her, I think it was the boss (Eastern European? Don't know what accent he had) told her off in front of us for something....
