What to Order at: Le Pain Quotidien

Did you know Le Pain Quotidien restaurants have a ton of plant-based (aka vegan) options on their menus? There are Le Pains all over the world so chances are you may have seen one of their restaurants before. And if not, with their continued expansion, they may pop up in your city soon. Fresh, simple and pure ingredients are at the core of Le Pain’s menus, and it shows in their food. I have been a fan of LPQ for years, and love that there are so many locations in NYC. It’s got a casual, relaxed vibe with an emphasis on healthy, high quality, delicious food….and that is a combination I’m all about!


  
  
  

You’ll always know an item is 100% plant-based/vegan at LPQ when you see a little carrot symbol next to the item on the menu. Their menu changes seasonally and also varies slightly from location to location. Here are some of the tasty vegan items on their current menu for you to check out:

  • avocado toast with citrus cumin salt, organic chia seeds and extra virgin olive oil (always a favorite!)
  • six vegetable tart with artichoke, vegetables and tofu on gluten-free buckwheat crust and a seasonal green salad
  • hummus tartine with shaved vegetables, walnuts, golden raisins and harissa
  • lentil and avocado salad with organic lentils, carrot, radish, fennel, wild arugula, sunflower seeds and lemon dijon vinaigrette
  • kale caesar with a cashew-miso dressing (love this salad – hold the parmesan)
  • spiced sweet potato & coconut soup
  • the botanist platter with quinoa taboulé, hummus and avocado mash
  • organic coconut and chia seed pudding (I always grab this to go for a snack)
  • fresh fruit salad
  • organic blueberry muffins
  • organic banana crunola with raw granola, raspberries and coconut cashew butter
  • organic steel-cut oatmeal with organic bananas, walnuts and fresh berries
  • organic brown rice pudding
  • organic baker’s basket
  • organic mini carrot cake (love!)
  • apple cherry cake
  • hazelnut flûte

    I love Le Pain but it’s a little pricey! But hey…you get what you pay for 🙂 I’m glad they offer plenty of vegan options.

    I love their smoothies and actually shared a recipe on my website, using it as my inspiration. I think you’ll enjoy it.
