recharging : the LPQ winter menu

Eating seasonally is one of our favorite things to do – it’s always comforting (not to mention good for you!) to embrace the flavors of the season. That’s why we were so excited to see the Le Pain Quotidien winter menu officially launch… keep on reading for all of the details (and some great images!) from their team.

There’s something about the chilly winter months that makes us crave comfort food. With that in mind, we’ve crafted our winter menu around the best of what the season offers – from lemon and pomegranate to sweet potato, broccoli and heirloom black rice – to bring you food that both comforts and nourishes.

Recharge your body and mind. Our winter menu awaits!
