Profile

Belgian chef Alain Coumont, the globe-trotting founder of the bakery-café chain Le Pain Quotidien, bakes rolls for Jean-Georges Vongerichten and Alfred Portale, supernally buttery croissants, and the best baguettes in town. But Coumont himself remains devoted to pain au levain, a naturally fermented whole-wheat sourdough, even though it's vexingly sensitive to the vagaries of temperature and temperament.

Recommended Dishes

Atlantic shrimp salad, $15.95

First time in my life this has happened. I nearly swallowed the cockroach in my coffee. Could not believe it. Neither could the waiter! I had a guest with me from out of town, and it was terrible!I have been going there since it opened and have not had any complaints until now.

Will definitely go back!
