Le Pain Quotidien

From Time Out Dubai Eating Out 2010

With a rustic interior of stripped pine furniture, chalkboards scrawled with specials and freshly baked breads lining the shelves, Le Pain Quotidien has a lovely country kitchen feel to it. If you’re at the Jumeirah Beach branch you can also squeeze onto an al-fresco table, if you can find an empty one. The sandwiches are scrumptious, thanks to the tendency of the French to over indulge in cheese and crusty bread. Also recommended is the hot chocolate, served in a bowl, so you are free to make like the French themselves and dunk your bread, or, even better, a buttery croissant.

Sometimes they have good days, sometimes things go bizarrely wrong in the kitchen. However, this week we noticed there were two pepper grinders on our table, full of aspirational, high-ponce-factor pepper, one boasting roasted garlic flakes and the other with thyme and swan's tears or somesuch. Yet when my companion asked for salt, she was brought a saucer of paper sachets from different restaurants. Genius. Still, I have to say, their chicken and sweetcorn soup is to die for.

If you try the food in Le Pain Qoutidien you need to come back again because you think about the taste of the food the whole day, they have the best salad in UAE, I would recommend every one to try the shrimp salad, goats & salmon salad. I can eat it all the time and still enjoy it. I will say small secret  my wife used to go to Le Pain Qoutidien with her friends and when she is back she use to tell me what she had , I was passing by the restaurant remembering what my wife said till one day I decided to go for lunch (this lunch cost me gift for my wife) it was the first time I had shrimps salad and this how it start . I Love this restaurant you feel you are at home everything you eat it is fresh
