We’re in the process of opening the Cape house this weekend and in honor of the occasion I’m sharing some photos with you that I took of our favorite local lunch and dinner spot (and, of course, it’s where we get beautiful loaves of bread when we’re down here): Pain D’Avignon. The folks at the restaurant contacted me last fall to take pictures of their dishes and staff. Since that shoot, I’ve been there two additional times, most recently a few weeks ago, to take photos of their bread (a Bread of the Month club is in the works).
Chef Toby Hill, pictured above, is the focal point of this establishment and his food, as you can see from the photographs, is delightful. In fact, as you read this post, I may be sitting in their cafe, working on a bowl of soup or one of their hearty salads. If you happen to make it out to Cape Cod, I can’t recommend this place enough.
First of all, I’m extremely envious that you guys have a Cape house! Our favorite town is Truro, and I’d love to own a little place there someday…
Second of all, I MUST go to Pain D’Avignon the next time we’re out that way =).
I too am envious of you having a Cape house. I have not been to Provincetown in a few years but had several great vacations there.. These shots are beautiful as always.. I always enjoy your Silent Sundays
Everything looks delicious! I wish they were near me. Have a great time opening the house and a wonderful Sunday.
The bread looks fabulous … I love baking bread
We have friends with a house there and now I cannot wait to visit – beautiful photos!
Wow, everything looks amazing. What a wonderful cafe.
My goodness that open face with all that gooey, melted cheese … wow, it really looks tasty. Not to mention the pizza and fresh baked bread. Your photos are amazing!
Lovely cafe and that bread is gorgeous! I can smell it just from the photos, that warm yeast smell from the dough and then the comforting smell of hot fresh bread from the oven after they’ve be baked
I need a place like this in my life. One of my favourite Silent Sundays yet. Absolutely lovely. Love the behind the scenes as much as the finished plate. Swoon.
Mmnnnn. . . I loves me some Pain, especially when it D’Avignon.
me gusta pan.
Gorgeous photos as always, Brian. Will definitely keep this place in mind next time I’m touring the East Coast.
I’m drooling over all this really good looking bread!

Oh wow all that bread looks really good!!
I feel like a tool for stating the obvious – but look at that giant slice of pizza! I would be in a carb load heaven here.
Hey mister baby boi, you know you tortured me all morning with this post. I was imagining being there having a lingering breakfast with Jonathan and taking a loaf or two home. Dang they need to open a place in Boston or DC or anywhere in between!
oh Brian you have the best places around you or the other way round you place yourself around fabulous places
I love in behind the scenes shots, bread making is the most fascinating thing. Another beautiful post!
I really love the hand shots! Thanks for the mini vacation!
now I’m hungry! what beautiful photo’s Brian
Good Morning!
I’m interested to know what is in the salad (is that a breaded egg?)
Also the sandwich that is beneath it.
Are you allowed to tell me?
Have a Joyful Day

Another fantastic Silent Sunday. I love the staff shots, especially of the one chef laughing.
I agree with Naomi..the chef laughing is just fantastic! I know they probably love to have you come visit and chat with them and take gorgeous photos. That bread! It all looks so delicious:)
I need to go to the Cape at some point this summer, if just to experience that bread, go to the drive through, and get some good ice cream in P-town. Gorgeous photos, Brian!
Mmm croque madame! Everything looks so darn delicious.
I want to go to the Cape just for this!
There is something about bread shots that I just adore. I think it’s the process you get to capture and I love all the shots you got. And then all that food? Killer yummy looking.
