Miami is known for many things, but great bread is not among them, at least if you haven’t tried La Provence’s hearty, rustic artisanal breads. There’s more than just bread, too, starting with a wide assortment of pastries, from light, flaky croissants to lovely little fruit tarts. More substantial fare includes a variety of panini on house-baked loaves, as well as quiches and empanadas. The prosciutto and mozzarella panini with pesto and tomatoes is generous and filling, as is a well-made salad niçoise with plenty of tuna and accouterments. Don’t leave without at least one rustic sourdough baguette, which one day might get Miami known for great bread.

    In France, somehow, there are fresh-baked baguette sandwiches — made with care — at almost every major train station. That such a delicacy is sold alongside pooping pigeons and napping backpackers seems like it should be illegal. At La Provence,... More >

    Miami has a great many things — sun, sand, spectacular ocean views, trolling celebutantes with more plastic parts than an Xbox. One thing Miami doesn't have much of is great bread. Sure, some of the upscale so-called gourmet markets do a passable... More >

    Try the light salads - really fresh ingredients with a French slant.

    If great bread is the staff of life, all of us here in South Florida are living on borrowed time, eating mushy, pallid, tasteless loaves made from ultrarefined flour that no self-respecting Parisian or Italian would use for a doorstop. But thankfully, for those special occasions, we have La Provence, where you can get a proper baguette ($2) or crusty loaf of sourdough ($2.25) or hunk of multigrain ($4.35). But man (and woman) doesn't live by bread alone, so if you're hungry for a light, flaky croissant; luscious Danish, fruit tart, or cheesecake; even savory quiches or empanadas, La Provence has you covered there too. Just no doorstops.

    Cafe au Lait and an almond croissant from La Provence is perhaps the best way to start a winter Saturday morning in Miami! Also, pick up a fruit tart for a fabulous dessert treat at a dinner party or just to treat yourself!
