The bread. The vine.

Two simple words that represent so much more than what’s on the menu.

Fresh pastries in the morning. An internationally inspired menu. A welcoming bar. Genuine hospitality. A place where people gather, celebrate, and come back again and again.

Bread & Vine is built on a proven concept that’s designed to fit communities of all sizes while giving franchise owners the support of working directly with the founder.

If you’ve been looking for more than just a business—if you’re looking to build something lasting—we’d love to show you what’s possible.

Most people walk through the doors and see a great meal.

Investors see something more.

A bakery that starts the day early. Fresh lunch service that keeps tables full. Catering that extends the brand beyond the restaurant. An inviting bar that creates a whole new atmosphere in the evening. And a concept built to welcome guests from morning through night.

Bread & Vine wasn’t designed around a single meal. It was designed as a hospitality business with multiple ways to serve its community throughout the day.

If you’re looking for a restaurant concept with an internationally inspired menu, diversified revenue opportunities, and hands-on support from the founder, let’s start the conversation.

📍Join us for a Discovery Day in Galena to see the model in action.

A little coffee. A favorite menu item. And the career lesson that has shaped everything.

For Eric, the answer is simple: be relentless and never stop evolving.

Because building a restaurant brand, leading a team, and creating something that can grow takes more than one great idea. It takes the willingness to keep learning, keep adapting, and keep moving forward.

One roof. Three ways to build revenue.

Morning bakery traffic.
Lunch and all-day dining.
Catering that takes the brand beyond the four walls.
Then, as the day winds down, the bar comes alive.

Bread & Vine is designed to make the most of the space, the menu, and the daypart.

Different revenue streams. One operating model. One opportunity to build something your community can come back to all day long.

After the lunch rush, the bar comes alive. 🍸

Same space. A completely different energy.

From morning coffee and midday meals to evening drinks, dinner, and conversation, Bread & Vine is designed to give guests a reason to come back throughout the day.

For franchise owners, that means more than creating a beautiful restaurant. It means creating a business with multiple revenue opportunities built into one destination.

One space. Two distinct experiences. More ways to serve your community.

Your next business could be more than a lunch spot.

Not every great franchisee starts as a chef.

Here’s what we actually look for:

✔️ You don’t need restaurant experience. We can teach systems, operations, and processes. What matters most is a willingness to learn and lead.

✔️ Financial readiness and transparency. Successful partnerships start with honest conversations about capital, investment, and long-term goals. We value openness from day one.

✔️ Strong roots in your community. We want owners who know their market, care about the people they serve, and are excited to build a restaurant that becomes a local gathering place.

The right franchisee isn’t defined by what’s on their résumé. They’re defined by their character, commitment, and vision for their community.

If that sounds like you, we’d love to meet you at a Discovery Day in Galena.

Every community has that one thing people wish they had.

A place for fresh pastries in the morning. An elevated lunch. An internationally inspired dinner. A patio to gather with friends. Catering for life’s biggest celebrations. A welcoming bar to end the day.

Maybe that’s the niche your community is still waiting for.

Bread & Vine was designed to be more than a restaurant. It’s a destination that fits into every part of the day and brings people together over exceptional food and genuine hospitality.

Meet Geneva.

Every Bread & Vine begins with the same foundation: exceptional hospitality, an internationally inspired menu, and a commitment to creating memorable experiences. But each location also becomes a reflection of its own community.

Geneva has embraced that vision with its own personality, from its inviting patio to the warm atmosphere that keeps guests coming back. It’s proof that a strong model doesn’t create cookie-cutter restaurants—it creates opportunities for owners to make each location uniquely their own while delivering the quality and consistency guests expect.

One proven concept. Thoughtfully adapted. Locally inspired.

Some franchise systems hand you a binder and wish you luck.

At Bread & Vine, you’ll work directly with founder Eric Bonnetain, whose career spans luxury hotels, international hospitality, and restaurant ownership. As a member of the Académie Culinaire de France, Eric brings decades of culinary and operational expertise to every franchise relationship.

He’s lived every side of this business—from opening restaurants during one of the most challenging times in the industry’s history to leading teams and operations around the world.

That means your guidance comes from someone who has faced the challenges, solved the problems, and built a successful concept from the ground up.

At Bread & Vine, Discovery Day isn’t led by a sales team. It’s led by the founder himself.

Because when you’re building your future, experience matters.

Every great morning starts the same way. 🥐

Long before the first guest walks through the door, the ovens are on, the croissants are baking, and the day begins with the same commitment to quality that’s built into every Bread & Vine location.

Consistency isn’t just about following a recipe. It’s about creating an experience guests can count on—whether it’s their first visit or their fiftieth.

That’s what transforms a restaurant into a trusted neighborhood destination, and it’s one of the foundations of the Bread & Vine franchise model.

When you invest in Bread & Vine, you’re investing in proven systems, exceptional hospitality, and a concept designed to deliver the same quality day after day.
