This week, the New England Culinary Institute moves its bakery and café, La Brioche, from its longtime location at 89 Main Street in Montpelier across the street to 118 Main.
A daytime business, La Brioche will share space with NECI’s dinner restaurant, NECI on Main.
“It will work beautifully,” NECI president Milan Milasinovic said of the arrangement. “The baking will be done in the kitchen [at NECI on Main]. The building will accommodate both businesses.”
A Main Street mainstay, La Brioche has served student-made baked goods, sandwiches and soups for more than 25 years at 89 Main’s City Center. The culinary school announced last spring that it would not extend its lease there into 2020.
In its new location, La Brioche will be open every day but Sunday.
