Now here’s a good reason to come spend next weekend in Wellfleet, should you need one … PB Boulangerie will open on Thursday.
This afternoon Sven and I stopped in to chat with Boris Villatte, the marvelous baker (marvelous is an adjective that applies, I now can assure you, because I have tasted his bread), and he gave us this news, adding that the bistro opening will follow in a few weeks. A batch of “rejects” had just emerged from the oven and the aroma wafted through the front hall into the empty restaurant beyond. We hightailed it home with a bag full of bread. I dove into the butter croissant, which melted in my mouth, then gobbled up half a pain aux raisins. Sven made himself a big ham sandwich. We both were in bread heaven. “Marvelous bread!” Sven declared. “I haven’t eaten this type since Paris. It brings back nostalgia from France.”
Tourists, if you can’t afford France in this year of recession, reserve lodging now in a spectacular town where you can eat spectacular REAL French bread and spectacular meals at PB Boulangerie Bistro.
Boris told us the restaurant opening will follow in a few weeks.

Yum! That bread looks great! I love good bread, and so does my husband. I read this to him, and he wants to know:
What will the restaurant be serving? And will it be open for dinner? Lunch? Breakfast?
If you know the answers or if they have set up a website, please let me know.
Thanks!
I have not seen the menu yet. I added a link above to the Web site. I know there are 51 seats inside, so not that many. A deck will be added by summer.
Thanks! I added my name to their mailing list.
(Actually, I tried to add my name, but after I had it all filled out, there was no place to press enter or submit! Perhaps you could point this out to them next time you drop by.)
This reminded me that we have an excellent bakery which makes (as my French friends have said) "the best croissants outside Paris"
I should stop by there soon and indulge, might lighten our mood after a long winter. This morning it's winter wonderland here with at least six inches of fresh, wet snow. But we have not had enough for good cross country skiing, the main way we get through northern winters. So everyone has cabin fever.
Bread of any kind is one of my best weaknesses! :-) The photo you posted reminded me I should get over to my nearest bakery--fast! Before the chocolate almond croissants run out.
Sounds divine. And I bet they could give my some advice on my collapsing choux problem. Sigh.
Another reason to visit Wellfleet! I love the restaurant on the dunes there--can't think of it's name, but the fried scallops are divine.
Nancy, you must be referring to the Beachcomber. Wait until you try this authentic French restaurant. If someone had told me Wellfleet would have a real bistro 40 years ago when my parents bought this house and I lived in France, I would not have believed them. Not in a million years. Miracles do happen.
I hope this bakery does well! So many small businesses are closing in our town. But the bakeries do seem to be thriving. I guess we all have to eat, and bakeries that serve delicious pastries and comfort food are especially popular in hard economic times.
I've wanted to visit, since I so love the water, but I love bread just as much, so now I MUST come :)
I am trying to subscribe but encounter an error with the website as well. Can anyone cut and paste the menu and email me, please? ann@bonairecaribbean.com. I am on Cape Cod two more weeks and will head up Sunday but want to pre order. My mouth is drooling.
