"Du Pain et des Idées is known for hearty rustic loaves (try the pain des amis ), mini-pavés (small, doughy breads in the shape of a cobblestone that are often filled with cheese, veggies or other savory ingredients), and the pinwheel-shaped chocolate-pistachio escargot pastries. Everything moves fast here, so don't be surprised if the staff is short with you: they just want to keep the line flowing smoothly. Curious about an ingredient? Just ask." - Lindsey Tramuta
