Franchise Opportunities

Le Pain Quotidien

Le Pain Quotidien means the daily bread. And to us, that means everything. It’s much more than mere sustenance; it’s a way of life.

Our franchise partners open all-day bakery-cafes, ranging from:

  • flagship restaurants
  • city centre cafes
  • local neighbourhood eateries,
  • simple kiosks

Our patrons come for the trusted communal experience, where one feels recognised, appreciated, and at home. As our loaves emerge from the ovens, warm and fragrant, friends gather around our communal tables to share in the time-honoured tradition of breaking bread. The hum of conversation fills the air, jam is passed around the table, and, ever so gracefully, time slows.

The first Le Pain Quotidien bakery café opened in Brussels in 1990, and within a few months 10 more locations opened, all serving the classic, rustic loaves Alain Coumont, our founder, grew up with. His vision of fresh-baked, traditionally made bread has become a tradition for neighbours and friends at over 210 Le Pain Quotidien locations throughout the world.

Brand Story

The tradition of fresh-baked bread is a routine worthy of repetition. Once Alain Coumont decided to open his bakery, he needed to decide on a name. He recalled a memory of his father exclaiming “moi, ce n’est pas mon pain quotidien!” literally translating to “it’s not my daily bread.” Alain knew he needn’t look any further for the words to hang above his bakery door. Welcome to Le Pain Quotidien, “the daily bread,” where the past meets the present and the future is today.

In this ever-changing and hectic world, we invite you to escape to a place where traditional simplicity is cherished. Our bakers blend organic stone-ground flour, sea salt and water with a wild yeast levain starter to create a humble four-ingredient beginning. The dough is then kneaded patiently by hand, and baked in our stone-lined hearths. These are the artisanal loaves of our past, baked according to tradition.

Join us at the table

At Le Pain Quotidien, we believe that community is what nurtures, inspires and feeds the soul. Our first communal table on Rue Dansaert in Brussels was built from wood salvaged from the floors of retired Belgian trains. Those simple planks became a tradition. Today, this same rough, reclaimed wood continues to bring rustic comfort to our stores, and the communal tables have become our centerpiece.

Long enough for all to fit and narrow enough for all to talk, our tables are where friends reconnect and new friendships are forged over the shared appreciation of delicious food and good company. In a space where color comes to life, music mingles with the melody of conversation and fresh-baked smells stoke the imagination, there will always be a place for you at our table.
