I was just at Le Pain Quotidien yesterday. It's one of my favorite places.
Enjoy!

Le Pain Quotidien is surprisingly decent for a chain restaurant.

Wow, that's a cool idea. Presumably they seal the bread or something to prevent it from going mouldy?

I think they just replace it every few days.

another cool idea they came up with: the salade vegetarienne, which is basically a giant cheese plate on top of some lettuce and sun-dried sundries.

much like defective yeti's pronouncement on taco salad, you get to eat cheese and say you ate salad.

We went there the other day too! The weather was just too perfect to not go to the park.

Always had sunday breakfast at Le Pain Quotidien in Brussels when I lived there. But they didn't have those clever bread menu-holders :-)

I worked there years ago, and it is just stale bread they switch out every few days.

Regarding waste, I would ride home with a trash bag full of day-old pastries and bread trying to give it away. Maybe one or two people would take an item or two. At least the menu holders weren't a total waste.
