Lonely Planet review

Spend any time in Belgium and you'll soon come across this local success story. Baker Alain Coumont started his first bakery and tearoom here on Rue Antoine Dansaert in 1990. Wholesome bread, sweet and savoury pies, salads, sandwiches, breakfast and lunch were (and still are) the staples. So what? The same as many other eateries, you might rightly say. But Le Pain Quotidien had one fundamental difference - a big wooden table sitting smack in the middle of its smoke-free surroundings.

Now with branches nation- and worldwide, Le Pain Quotidien's communal table is as popular as ever.

PS. It's not all wholesome - chocoholics should be warned that the bombe au chocolat (chocolate bomb) is a chocolate-mousse cake like no other.
