Le pain quotidien is a bakery and a café where we get our bread (it's big loaf of brown or white bread, you can purchase the whole loaf, half or a quarter) We usually get a quarter, and have it sliced. There are lots of different kinds, we get the brown organic one " Un quart de seigle tranché". On the week end we get a "brioche", some croissants, and a baguette (bio, ie organic).
It's also a great place to have a light lunch (sandwiches called "tartines" or salads) and sometimes we get it to take away. It's easy with kids, my kids like it a lot because they can eat with their hands... it's a bit like the Belgian version of fast food!! There is always a big common table, and lots of smaller tables for two or four. People might strike up a conversation at the big table, it's very informal.
There are several Pain Quotidien all over Brussels, one is close to our house. You can check out their website at http://www.painquotidien.com/
Oh my! I just found out there's a pain quotidien in Los Angeles!
