Le Pain Quotidien Sablon

Le Pain Quotidien on the Sablon is part of the well-known Belgian chain that built its reputation on rustic wooden tables, artisan bread, and organic ingredients. This branch on the Grand Sablon reflects the atmosphere of the upscale Sablon neighbourhood: tall windows, marble floors, and a mix of Brussels locals and tourists enjoying a generous breakfast or a lunch of fresh soups, salads, and tartines. The terrace at the front offers a beautiful view of the Church of Our Lady of the Sablon.

The entrance is level and wide enough for wheelchairs. The ground floor is step-free and all tables are reachable without stairs. The toilet, however, is in the basement via a narrow staircase, making it inaccessible for wheelchair users — something worth bearing in mind for a longer visit. The staff are friendly and discreetly helpful when it comes to finding a comfortable spot, even on busy afternoons.

Le Pain Quotidien Sablon is very well served by public transport: trams 92 and 93 stop at the Petit Sablon, less than a hundred metres from the restaurant. The Sablon neighbourhood itself has cobblestones on some of the squares, but the pavement in front of the restaurant is paved. Parking for people with a disabled badge is possible in the nearby Parking Sablon or at adapted on-street spaces along the Rue de la Régence.
