Le Pain Quotidien (Closed)

My boyfriend and I went down for a late Saturday lunch and we got a table inside. No one gave us a menu so we had to ask for it. We ordered Baker’s Lunch, which comes with a tartine of the day. The waitress told us they have curry chicken tartine for the day but we were served beet hummus tartine... What a surprise! We had to keep on raising hand for a few minutes everytime we needed something (menu and bill) before someone finally noticed us. I am sure one of the waitresses saw us but she decid

女友話要去灣仔食牛角包，但人氣高嗰間早已沽清，經過見到呢到有牛角包又歐洲牌子咁，斷估應該穩陣，就打算同女友試試雖然堂食要加一服務費，但見佢環境闊落好似幾relax咁就選擇左堂食，可以同女友坐低慢慢嘆叫左個牛角包同latte轉oat milk先講牛角包，本以為堂食會幫你翻熱，但佢只不過由display櫃就咁拎過黎，係凍嘅；而味道同口感方面都完全無驚喜，質素同普通麵包鋪嘅差唔多再黎latte，用大碗上感覺幾特別，但味道強差人意，底味非常淡，成杯咖啡比oatmilk主導曬，對於咖啡愛好者嘅女友嚟講完全唔合格最後想講講服務，明明有2~3個waitress，但眼見得一個負責曬成間餐廳嘅送餐、執枱同埋單，其餘嗰d叫都唔應，或者同佢講完埋單就冇左下文，而唯一一個做野嘅waitress成程黑口黑面，執枱收銀器都非常粗魯，有感自己去左茶餐廳咁，但要加一…

秋風起，見到Le Pain Quotidien既戶外座位都幾chill就決定試試。隔尼2枱客人都有帶埋狗仔，重有唔少外國客人拎住本書享受me-time。加上利東街人來人往，可以一邊people watching，一邊幻想下自己身處外國（唔夠假去旅行…）不過當日可能比較多人，企左幾分鐘先有店員留意到我地，指示我地坐邊，坐低亦都冇主動拎餐牌過黎，無論點菜定埋單都要好耐…Le Pain Quotidien其中一個特色係咖啡會用碗裝，而唔係杯。當年喺英國第一次食既時候叫左large，一上枱就比佢size嚇親。不過咖啡味道淡，又唔夠奶味，作為「咖啡控」，應該係我未必會好想再光臨的主要原因。Menu以各種麵包為主，有唔少選擇。朋友點了smoked salmon breakfast，我點了The Angler。The Angler一上枱我就知自己食唔晒...除左croissant之外重有2塊麵包、smoked salmon，吞拿魚、soft boiled egg、granola parfait with fruit。croissant夠酥，另外2塊麵包都暖暖的，點麵包的herbs farmer ch

Originally I planned to eat in a restaurant at the Pawn, unfortunately they were fully occupied.  So I headed to Le Pain Quotidien which was the cafe I felt comfortable to sit with by myself.I had entered into the cafe and was directed to sit at the indoor large table by the window side. No one came to clear the glasses that was left over by the previous diners and the table was wet.When I was ready to make an order, I raised my hand and awaited for a waitress to come over and take my order. How

You think it’s French? The service is not French it’s not even average Hongkong, it’s the worst you can get in Hong Kong. Once you sit down, it’s like you are their enemy already. I tried to order, and finally am able to when I tried the third waiter, all three of them did not have response to what you said, eg I said no ice in my juice please, n she just didn’t respond but walked away. I guess she heard tho....I miss France....

行過灣仔有啲肚餓，見到我最鐘意既麵包就忍唔住係呢間法國麵包店買左個pain aux raisins 🍇 。個包好軟熟，入麵有少少提子乾同埋custard，好好味，一分錢一分貨。👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

是日去灣仔利東街揾食, 發現選擇不多 , 依間裝修得體而且outdoor感覺好chill, 決定就喺度享受難得一個星期日。同朋友點左個 Avocado toast 同牛角包share , 等候時間唔算耐, 兩款賣相非常健康新鮮 , 作為牛油果控偏心地覺得基本上櫬咩都好味道, 當然個toast都不過不失而個牛角包夾住d餡亦好脆同好味, 西餐來說整體質素都唔錯, 而且份量都大架, 兩個女仔差d食唔完 最好嘅地方係任坐唔會趕客, 慢慢傾都唔怕 , 但價錢略貴, 如果唔介意貴住hea一個周日都係一個唔錯選擇

今日和太太一大清早去了北角，之後特別坐港鐵到灣仔，想試試最近非常當好的麵包店，十一時到時果然大排長龍，唯有另闢蹊徑，去了這間店。 我上年因在灣仔區工作一段時間，所以也幫襯了幾次。今次是假日，可能因整天都下著大雨，餐館裹面只坐滿三分一， al fresco位置當然一個客人都沒有 （奇怪是本來想去的那間麵包店卻排著長籠）。我想，曾經光臨這餐館的香港客人都有和我一樣的極端體驗。餐館位置一流，裝修亮麗令人一望就想入內，店內算寛敞，座位舒服。 但另一方面，店員服務態度卻很冷淡，幾次幫襯都是笑容省用，實是奇怪。還是此品牌算是國際知名，在二十二個國家都有分店，那麼，慕名而來的人應該很多，店員不是更應努力擦亮品牌嗎？我們叫了  Kale & Arugula Caesar Salad (加 $22 Salmon）$130 和 Avocado & Smoked Salmon Tartine $128。 兩道菜都做尚好， Kale & Arugula 很少餐館有，沙律汁調得剛好。 不過價錢太貴，一個輕量午餐連兩杯capuccino已需大約 $400，我想他們也沒辦法，這個位置可能租金太貴，唯有轉嫁給客人。位

今晚約了朋友在灣仔吃晚飯，天下著大雨，時間又未到，而肚子也有點餓，一於去這家cafe醫下肚先。這家店裝潢帶點古典風格，沿用木色作主調，分別設有室外同室內堂座，感覺悠閒優雅。今曰就點一些輕食同咖啡。Flat White $38這杯咖啡入口温度剛好，口感奶滑，但咖啡味道同奶香都唔係咁甘香突出，整體而言只是ok, 普普通通而己。Almond crossaint $26這個crossaint未有翻熱，牛角麵包質地比較硬身，口感唔係咁鬆化。而麵包帶有杏仁香，中間夾有杏仁焦糖醬，味道甜膩，個人覺得有點過甜了。整體感覺只屬一般，可以一試。

Don’t be fooled by the outward appearance of this place. It looks nice on the outside , but the tables are filthy and there’s food all over the floor. The south/southeast Asian waitresses are rude , especially when they think you’re a local or mainlander (I am neither). I guess it’s just retribution for them since they get treated rather badly in this city. I asked for water and never received it, while the table next to me that sat down after me got two waters without even having to ask for

星期六嚟到灣仔食嗰brunch，行到去利東街頭見到哩間餐廳，呢間餐廳有分indoor outdoor既位置，感覺好似好寫意。見到好多人帶埋狗仔座係outdoor，一於就揀呢間食brunch😍😍😍😍不過得番indoor位置，outdoor要等😜😜😜我同朋友分別嗌咗牛油果雞肉沙律同埋菠菜芝士奄列，仲有比利時朱古力同埋一杯lattes !!個牛油果沙律好大碟，好足料好多雞肉呀，啲沙律汁好開胃，同啲雞肉好夾，真係好大碟囉，我同朋友食極都食唔完😋😋😋至於個羊奶芝士菠菜奄列so far so good..羊奶芝士係我鍾意食嘅芝士黎既，配上菠菜其實都幾夾，不過呢個奄列整得太油，同埋過左火喉！至於兩杯嘢飲係幾好飲嘅，我同朋友都帶咗最大杯嘅size，呢度啲杯好得意，無耳仔既，好似隻碗咁拎黎飲🤗🤗🤗整體呢度感覺環境好舒服，好啱同朋友傾計。

星期六既下午唔係好餓就黎咗呢度食個light brunch叫咗1份yogurt早餐同埋1份meatball之前未食過比利時餐廳其實都唔知佢地係食咩既所以都無特expectation野食ok好食同新鮮，配埋個環境就好似真係喺歐洲度假咁啦～

行過見到買咗一個牛角包一個Almond牛角包同兩個朱古力丹麥穌，其中一個朱古力包一食落去有啲怪，一扯原來有條又長又金既頭髮🤦‍♀️。即刻胃口大減。無諗過咁唔professional既錯都可以發生。

係外國成日都聽到唐人街 係香港就想搵條外國街 除左SOHO區之外原來喜帖街呢度都好有外國feel 紅日下晏12點幾黎到都幾乎full 好彩都比我地搵到張outdoor ☺️超過一半都係外國人 真係以為自己去咗英國Chai Tea Latte small size 都已經好夠飲 我見大杯真係好似個湯碗咁大😱 Ice mocha 朱古力味同咖啡味都唔太突出 可以做得更好阿熊忽然話想食包 所以就要左ham & cheese 既牛角包 果然無令人失望 入口鬆化 好香 咬開仲見到一層層 ! 而我就好貪心咁叫左個類似all day breakfast 既set . 有我至愛既牛角包,🥐仲有2塊麵包,烚蛋,鮮果yogurt,煙三文魚同埋吞拿魚成個set好新鮮同健康除左牛角包出色之外 連2塊不嬲都唔討好既麵包都一樣好味 就算唔搽jam都無問題 唔會乾爭爭同硬烚蛋就比較難met殼 🥚因為佢有少少流心 太用力又怕爆哂出黎食食下都幾飽 開頭仲擔心呢d咁健康既早餐得個樣. 有機會要試埋dinner 應該會仲好feel😍

I came here to grab a quick breakfast- a large cappuccino and a chocolate croissant. It cost me $95. I thought this was pretty pricey for 2 items but nonetheless this place is always busy and seems to draw in a crowd. It’s too expensive for an everyday grab and go for me.
