Le Pain Quotidien - Zürich

Severely overrated and overpriced. Scrambled eggs were served cold and unfortunately reminded of hotel food instead of a nice bakery-restaurant. Eggs-Benedict-nature (no ham) was first served with ham, then without sauce and on a poor piece of bread. The price at the end did not make sense. If I visit again, i will need some convincing to order anything more than a coffee.

Nice breakfast, lot of options, but coffee is really disappointing. They have a proper machine but you could tell that there are no proper Batista's making the coffee (milk is not properly steamed, flat white tastes like a cappucino etc.

Used to be a nuce place for brunch! Now its just chaotic, service is slow and sloppy, and the food is overpriced and the quality declined. The croissant used to be fragrant like the one of Montmartre, now they are probably freezed. The coffee is also gotten worst. I used to live the place 5-6 years ago, now it’s absolutely not worth it. Go to Montmartre instead!

Same quality of baked goods/pastries as other Pain Quotidien globally … but the coffee is abismal. The service is not that great either, as the place is usually understaffed and hence they don’t follow up to check on you. We had to get up to pay our bill, because no one was even walking by our table. Also disappointing since my dog was super thirsty and we never even got the chance to ask for a water bowl. Takeaway is an option though, and you can take home freshly baked croissants pain au chocolat which are delish

We went there for brunch over the weekend. It can get pretty crowded, so it’s better to book in advance or come a bit earlier. I was a bit disappointed with classique brunch as the portion was quite small and you get a lot of bread. They didn’t bring me any jams and I only realized that I could have asked for it before leaving. I would recommend the cooked ham with gruyere or the tartine. Quite tasty
