Only at Bistro Nota: Fort Wayne favorite Bistro Pain et Fromage — house-made rosemary-and-sea-salt focaccia, baked to perfection and hand sliced then toasted to a golden, crunchy exterior with an airy, herb-speckled crumb, paired with Chef‑Owner Cam Kaminski’s signature roasted‑pepper cheese dip, slow-roasted for a layered, smoky‑sweet depth.

Treat yourself to our open-faced breakfast sandwich—slow-braised, succulent boneless beef short rib simmered low and slow for hours in a velvety tomato sauce and finished with a glossy, rich demi‑glace that deepens every bite. Fluffy, softly scrambled eggs and a melting duo of white cheddar and Gruyère crown fragrant rosemary-and-sea-salt focaccia toasted to a perfect golden crisp, add a chilled mimosa for a weekend treat.

What a great day for a really good sandwich. How about a truly delicious sandwich — The Frenchman. We braise tender, boneless beef short rib low and slow for hours until it's fork‑tender and melt‑in‑your‑mouth soft, then pile it onto bread and top it with creamy, nutty Gruyère, sweet roasted red peppers, and a glossy, deeply savory demi‑glace for extra richness. A zesty whole‑grain mustard blend adds the ideal tang and bright lift, and everything is nestled in our signature toasted house bread, with a crisp, buttery crust. No stove required. Stop by tonight, grab one to enjoy here, or get it to go!
