When Maasmechelen Village invited me to come and brunch at their newest addition 'Le pain quotidien', I was immediately enthusiastic. Because it meant some me-time, eating good food and some slow moments just before Christmas and before my last day of work for this year. I love the philosophy behind the concept - the time honoured tradition of breaking bread (very fresh, amazing bread), putting your hands around a bowl of hot slow-roasted coffee to warm up after the cold (and this gesture even warms your soul in a way) and the sense of community around one big table, while you pass around the bio jams and spreads. Brunch as it is meant to be. And especially in a shopping paradise as MMvillage, a slow moment in a beautiful - back to basics- setting is a welcome break from all the spending. Lots of success to Le Pain Quotidien in this new location and a big thank you to MMvillage for the invite (& the amazing goodiebag).
