Avocado Toast

Watch as our chef brings together signature ingredients for Le Pain Quotidien’s avocado toast—a fresh symphony of color, texture, and taste. Every slice starts with organic sourdough wheat bread, toasted golden and topped with creamy guacamole, crisp cucumber, vibrant radish, crunchy superseeds, and a sprinkling of citrus-cumin salt for a gentle lift of flavor. For an extra touch of richness, add organic scrambled eggs or Atlantic smoked salmon. This nourishing tartine is crafted to highlight pure ingredients and creative simplicity, becoming a satisfying choice for any moment of the day.

Caesar Salad

Our Caesar salad is a harmonious blend of fresh, high-quality ingredients crafted to delight your senses. Crisp romaine lettuce is dressed in our signature creamy Caesar dressing and topped generously with tender free-range chicken, smoky grilled bacon, and organic hard-boiled egg.
