Alain Coumont, the chef at a famous restaurant in Brussels at the start of the 1990s, loved serving delicious, real food made with premium ingredients. And he chose to manufacture it himself as he was unable to find a bread kind that met these requirements.Known for its freshly made organic bread, Le Pain Quotidien is an ORGANIC rustic eating experience that offers you the best every single day. It is a way of life that has been adjusted to modern tastes and is straightforward, focused on quality and service, and offered in a laid-back, welcoming setting.We use organic flour that has been ground on a stone to make all of our bread. It still comes from leaven fermentation, which is done in wicker baskets lined with linen cloth and lasts for four hours. It represents a return to bread's true roots as a food in and of itself.All of our goods are made with the same level of care and attention to the quality of the ingredients and expertise.
