Simply translated, le pain quotidien means “daily bread”. In the wider French philosophical sense, the phrase also embraces the sustenance of the spirit as well as the body.

The story of Le Pain Quotidien likewise begins with simple ingredients - flour, water and salt – transformed by patience, passion and artisanal skill into a signature organic sourdough.

Add a communal table, the welcoming atmosphere and warmth of a rustic café, and the spirit is nourished with a sense of fellowship shared around a table and savoured among friends.
