Le Pain Quotidien - Camden

I went twice for breakfast on consecutive days. Service really quick both days. I like the platter with smoked salmon, yoghurt, croissant. Expensive but for high end London 'fast food ' its generally consistently good. Staff were attentive and realised I was in a hurry and were helpful.

I went for a coffee and pastry before my train home. The coffee was good, but the pain aux raisins was terrible. I was expecting a fluffy fresh pastry and instead got a heated up chewy pastry. I really wish I had refused it, particularly as I didn’t request it heated up. In my view this probably means it’s not fresh and can’t be served at room temperature. I see on other reviews people have said chewy, so please don’t accept it if you receive it like this. I’ll be heading to the competitors next time.

Watch out for the trick they use here. The pastries are vegan and are correspondingly absolutely awful and like chewing gum. They claim that they have told you and then charge you anyway, even though they are basically in edible. Staff nonchalant and unhelpful

Convenient spot located in the main part of St Pancras station for a quick lunch between trains. Our waiter, Ezz, was really friendly and attentive. Our food came within what felt like 5 minutes so very handy if you're tight for time. Ordered the wild mushroom and onion tart and was very tasty! Would definitely stop by again.

Good: Convenient location in station concourse. Friendly efficient staff. Nice food. Not so good: Expensive. Other: Nearest toilets are free public ones on lower concourse.
