Does the very word baguette make you hungry? Imagine slicing open a fresh one and painting the inside with deli mustard... and then stuffing it with pot roast slow cooked for over 7 hours... adding slices of horseradish cheddar cheese... and then popping that long loaf back in the oven for toasting, melting and melding the flavors!If that sounds great to you, then make sure you visit La Petite France Cafe on Main Street in Hyannis - on a Wednesday - when these pot roast sandwiches make their weekly appearance. Gotta tell you: the pot roast here is as moist, tender and flavorful as you'll find anywhere; the bread is fresh, crusty on the outside and delicious all the way through; and the mustard and cheese make this a perfect lunch.
If you're not able to stop by on a Wednesday, come any day for great sandwiches, soups and salads - not to mention great breads, croissants and other baked goods which are definitely not l0-cal. Everything here is fresh and the sandwiches are made by Ian Parent, La Petite's owner and genial host.
Lots of take-out here but there are about a half-dozen small tables for those who want to take a seat. At lunch time you might find a line at the counter but things move quickly and it's more than worth the short wait. Check here for the whole menu and open/close times.I've been stopping in for lunch here for years, going back to when Lucien DeGioanni was the owner and Ian his employee. I miss hearing Lucien's accent but I'm sure he'd approve of what Ian has made of the Cafe. And while Ian's speech is thoroughly American, his hearty laugh and the sandwich he's preparing for you will make whatever kind of day you're having just a little better!
