Le Pain Quotidien (King's Rd)

Ate here on Sunday and the breads are amazing!

Not sure about drinking hot drinks out of a soup bowl with no handles. It does tend to burn your hand.

The food however was not as expected. We went there for brunch and thought that there would be a selection of typical breakfast items, but this was not the case.

The scone that my friend had was delicious and the cheeseboard came with a great choice of cheeses, but even the large platter was fairly small in terms of generous portions.

The place was packed so it must be very popular but the service levels are poorer as a result.

If you like breads and want something different from your normal brunch experience this is the place to go. If you want a more traditional brunch selection I would not eat here.
