Malibu Village may soon be welcoming a brand new tenant, popular chain restaurant Le Pain Quotidien.
Representatives have filed an application for a conditional use permit (CUP) for the restaurant, including the sale of wine, beer and spirits and the addition of a 325-square-foot patio for outdoor dining.
The application, filed in January, will be considered at the October 6 Malibu Planning Commission meeting.
Le Pain Quotidien is a “fast casual” restaurant with current locations open in 17 countries including the US. There are several locations operating in the greater LA area, including nearby in Calabasas and Santa Monica. Founded in 1990, the restaurant serves bakery products as well as organic beverages, soups, quiches, salads and deserts, according to its website.
Although the application includes a request for a license to serve alcohol, its branches do not include a traditional bar and or operate late at night. The Calabasas location closes daily at 8 p.m. while the Santa Monica location closes at 7 p.m.
