Le Pain Quotidien

Mumbaikars are obsessed with all-day bistros and diners for many reasons. One of them being, if Mumbaikars love a restaurant, they are willing to drop by for a bite at any point of time, a breakfast before work, a quick 4:00pm snack or even to satisfy the late-night munchies. And if this place is close to work, it just seals the deal. So it’s no surprise that Le Pain Quotidien (French for ‘the daily bread’), a gourmet continental bistro and coffee shop located in the heavily-commercial Bandra Kurla Complex become an overnight success. From simple bakery bests like quiches and cheesecakes to elaborate gourmet preps like seared basil chicken with mushroom risotto, spinach and herb sauce, they do it all and they do it very well. If you’re here for breakfast, do try their Eggs Benedict which is impressive. You also have the option to shop for your next breakfast by picking from their range of breads, muffins (the apple and cinnamon one is divine), organic jams and spreads.
