Opened in 1992 as a wholesale bakery, Pain D’Avignon set about supplying truly exceptional artisanal bread to Cape Cod and beyond. As interest and demand grew, the restaurant opened a neighborhood boulangerie, where one could buy a crusty loaf of fresh bread, a tasty pastry or a cup of coffee. The boulangerie soon grew into a full-fledged café with a menu of soups, salads, sandwiches and pizzas.

Continuing their culinary expansion, Pain D’Avignon opened for dinner in the spring of 2009, just in time for the summer season. The French bistro menu, which uses only the freshest, highest-quality ingredients (many of them locally-sourced), blends classic dishes and contemporary world flavors. And it’s proven to be a crowd-pleaser – customers enjoy breakfast and lunch inside and out throughout the day while evening diners vie for tables at this just-off-the-beaten-path spot in Hyannis.
