Since it's in International Square, would you consider Au Bon Pain French? Besides the name, there's nothing too authentic about the restaurant chain that is an alternative to "Panera Bread Cafe." They are almost as prevalent in D.C. as "Starbucks." Still, you can't go wrong with their freshly prepared options like their signature sandwiches, soups, melts and wraps. It's a good pick for a quick lunch that doesn't hurt the wallet.
