Le Pain Quotidien will no doubt attract a mixed reception, as I am sure any chain of cafes or restaurants will, however having enjoyed breakfast in a number of their establishments (namely New York city and Paris) its definitely a café that will remain on my radar.
Here you’ll enjoy a range of wonderful breads, sandwiches, cookies, cakes and other artisan bakery items in a really inviting setting of wooden tables and shelves packed with freshly baked bread and jars of preserve.
Go for the breakfast basket of organic bread, croissants, jams and whole nut peanut butter... all washed down with an orange juice or a bowl of milky coffee (café au lait). This will certainly keep you going as you explore everything on offer in Paris, and if you don’t want to wait, they also offer take away.

Despite the wealth of restaurant choice on offer in Paris, particularly in the Latin Quarter, I feel slightly ashamed in recommending this franchised fast food chain as a quality place to spot for a bite to eat in-between sightseeing and photographing Notre Dame cathedral, however both the chips and the falafel make Maoz well worth visiting.
The place is small, sometimes the tables are messy, but the novelty of
being about to load up your Falafel in pitta with your own salad and tahini
soon makes you forget about that, not to mention the price.
For a cheap eat on the go, I cannot recommend Maoz enough.

Nice offers plenty of places to grab a quick bite to eat, particularly if you are eager to get on with sightseeing before it gets too hot, but my favourite thing to do is find a quality boulanger and buy a baguette and a slice of Tarte au Flan (French Custard tart). One such Boulanger (Boulanger Patissier du Port), which can be found on Rue Bavastro, is well worth hunting down. Nearby there is also, Le Peche Mignon, an excellent chocolate shop, on Rue Bonaparte.

This tiny, rather dilapidated bar is actually not too bad a place to enjoy a crepe before you venture into the Port of Nice. Sit outside and gaze onto the super yachts whilst tucking in to your Nutella crepe (a snip at 2.50 Euro). Avoid the hot dogs.
Location: Quai Lunel, Port of Nice, Nice.
