Le Pain Quotidien — Restaurant in Geneva

This is probably one of the worst cafes of this chain. To start, we were there at 15:00 and tried to order their signature dishes(tartines), but we were told the kitchen was closed and it was impossible to order them. When we asked what was available besides sweet items, they said nothing. However, just approaching the counter revealed a fish sandwich was still available. Then, I ordered cappuccino with a milk substitute, but what was brought to me barely resembled cappuccino at all. It seems like just some kind of coffee water. I asked for a remake, and while they did it so politely, it still fell far short of a decent cappuccino. We ordered orange juice a second time, which they forgot to bring. After waiting 15 minutes, we had to remind them and we had left without it. It's baffling how this cafe can even exist. However, other cafes of this chain are fine and provide the very...

Sunday 18 we went with friends for a brunch in this restaurant and three of us got food poisoned probably coming from yogurt and milk products (only thing that the 4th person with us did not eat and he did not get sick). I am pregnant and I’ve spent the last days at home and yesterday at the hospital due to how sick I was especially because having food poisoning while pregnant can be really dangerous for the baby. The same for the other two guys that are still at home sick since Monday. I would not expect something similar in Geneva where the food should be controlled and always fresh! I really do not recommend this place and personally I will never go again there knowing the risk to get...
