One of Eugene's nicer restaurants. The wait staff plays on whatever level you want of formality. The food, while good, wasn't life changing. read more

Our first time there; for lunch. Impressions: a rather snooty hostess but our male waiter was just excellent, and friendly too. Salmon carpaccio was swimming in oil and coarse salt but my husband loved the ratatouille. Aioli excellent but the romaine salad was abysmal: limp lettuce, too many crumbs, virtually tasteless. A winner: the basque cheesecake, light with raspberry sorbet, a few cherries and meringues. Pretty pricey, all in all, but we knew that. We'll try again. read more

Marche is a great place for a tasty lunch. Give their Heirloom Tomato salad and Bruschette a try, these dishes won't disappoint you. For your main course, the Marche Burger is a must have classic. The dinner menu is brief, but everything is pretty good. Enjoy. read more

They have the best pizza in Eugene. Period. If you don't like the way they heat up your pizza, then order a whole pie and proceed to eat the whole d*** thing because YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO STOP EATING. They also have a nice selection of cured meats, including Salumi meats (from Seattle). The store has some other high end stuff, like wine and cheese, most of which no one really needs. That doesn't make it any less cool, though. If you are a foodie I suggest you check this place out, at least for the pizza and cured meats. read more

I've eaten dinner here a couple of times in the last two months, and have been to the bar perhaps 6 times in the last 6 months. First of all, this is a good restaurant. Presentation is excellent, service is very good, selection of ingredients is very good. Why only three stars? In my opinion, it's a poor value. I very much enjoy continental cuisine, and am not looking for 16 oz. of meat with a sprig of parsley. I get it. I am a whopping 160 lbs. male, so I don't eat that much. Last night I had a chicken entree for $27 which is quite expensive for chicken in these parts. While the menu described it as chicken breast, our server informed me before I ordered that it would be leg meat that night, which was even better for me. At that price, I expected a whole leg at a minimum. The plate was dominated by a large portion of mashed potatoes. I almost asked if the chicken was coming on a separate plate when I realized there were a few little pieces over on the side. I eventually found these little morsels and realized it wasn't a mistake. I swear, the total amount of chicken might have been 1/2 of one normal-sized thigh! If I ran this restaurant, I would be profoundly embarrassed to have served that dish. Any self respecting $10 diner dish would have triple that amount of chicken, and for about $12-13, Turtles on So. Willamette will give you a half of a rotisserie chicken with a very substantial side salad! More expensive because it's free-range? Fair enough. Three-four bites in a $27 entree? Sorry- no go. I had strawberry shortcake for dessert. The shortcake appeared to be house-made and was excellent. The strawberry portion was meager but reasonable. I am not sure, but my guess is that the whipped cream came from an aerosol can. On my previous dining experience in May, I sat on the patio with my business guests. It's a lovely setting, and the service was very attentive. I ordered the lamb dish ($28 entree). It was very tender, but also quite fatty/greasy- not unlike an inexpensive chuck pot roast that was very slow roasted. The flavor was very mild; if I hadn't ordered the lamb I honestly might have thought it was a pot roast. I often buy lamb tenderloin chops at a local meat shop that gets them from a reputable local source, and the flavor is far superior without the greasiness. Not sure how to explain that. But I will say other than the fattiness, the portion was much more reasonable. Last night I had a Rhone wine (didn't note which one and the by-the-glass menu isn't shown on their website). It was a delightful medium-body red, great balance of fruit and dryness, and I often get it when I visit the bar. But it is $10 for the glass, and I wouldn't say it's any better than an $8 glass elsewhere. My out-of-town colleague had the Broadley Pinot Noir ($12 for the glass) which I had recommended. Considering I can buy the bottle in single quantities for $18-19 locally, this seemed to be a steep markup to me. The bottle list is substantial, and they offer quite a number of European wines, which is welcome to me. So to sum up, I don't think I'll go there for dinner again, even if it's a business meal. While preparation and service are generally first-rate, I think it's quite a poor value for what is delivered. On the other hand, I would go to the bar again. The offer a hamburger with fries for $13, which is likely the best hamburger in town. I believe it is a hand-formed patty, with a delightful house-made mustard that adds just the right spice. I would not hesitate to recommend this when you are in the mood for a gourmet-quality burger. And the bar service and drinks are excellent. Again, the wine pour is not generous, but it's a delightful ambience with a variety of small plates. So I would recommend the bar. Last of all, it's the same menu either side of the house. But if I'm getting a burger, I prefer the bistro ambience of the bar to the restaurant side seating. read more

I've dined here thrice in the past 2 weekends and I absolutely love the salmon entree, the raspberry martini, and the fried oysters with roumalade. You must try the freshly made ice cream too. The food AND the service are excellent here. read more

Marche - Before the Ducks fans... - French Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Excellent food and service! Instead of ordering a main plate, I decided to order 2 starters and a salad. I was really happy to see a place where you can order 3 oysters instead of 6 although they were so good that I could have finished 6 with no problem. After the oyster, I had the chicory and apple and crispy prosciutto with a honey vinagrette. How can you go wrong with this combination of ingredients? As a matter of fact, it was amazing. To end my dinner, I ordered the mussels with the apple-cider curry cream which was also amazing. After I finished the mussels, I was dipping the fries and the bread in the cream. Very good! Just wish I had some room left to try some of the desserts! read more

We had large slices of thin crust pizza that were average in taste. One person had a slice and salad. She said the salad dressing was very good (not oily tasting) and there was a variety of greens. The various provisions, snacks and wines, etc. sold here are not for people concerned with their budget. We didn't order the fresh bread or pastries but remember from past visits that they are very good. read more

The food here is amazing! I would give it 5 stars based just on taste. We ordered about 7 small dishes and they were all great. We ate better here than we did in France. Every dish was perfect and really can't be improved. It was a straight A experience. In addition the dining room is bright and cheerful like the south of France. The music was relaxing. The service was prompt. read more

I don't know Eugene. But my wife and I do know quality restaurants. I cannot speak to how this compares with other options locally. I can say, however, that they have very very very fresh ingredients, sourced locally. And the preparation is terrific. Service is friendly and attentive. I had chicken livers, lightly breaded with a spicy remoulade; a mushroom dish as the main course (first time ever for that); and then the cheese course. All top quality. My wife had the soup of the day (potato and leek), then the rockfish. Also top quality. By coincidence, friends from the San Francisco Bay Area, whom we saw just before the trip, recommended this place -- after we had made reservations. Who knows whether anything compares in Eugene. But this would be great any place. Would definitely eat there again and recommend highly. read more

Overall a nice place for brunch. Got seated right away at prime time on a busy Saturday morning (UO family weekend no less). Took about 5-7 min for our waitress to take our order, but like I said it was very busy. We weren't starving so it was fine by us to wait. I ordered green tea and we got the beignets to share. Very small serving, but delicious. My tea was only just slightly hotter than lukewarm, but for me that is better than scalding. I had the smoked salmon hash. It was ok, but too salty. I get this dish often at other restaurants and it's very easy to over season the potato part of the hash, not realizing how much salt the smoked salmon adds. It probably would have been perfect if I had just mixed my eggs in, but I wanted to eat them a little more separate with the delicious toasted baguette. It was still very good and my eggs were poached to perfection. My daughter got the grits with poached egg. Her egg was way underdone, but the grits were incredible. This will definitely stay on my list as a favorite when visiting Eugene. read more

We were looking forward to a dinner reunion to commemorate our mother's recent passing. We decided on Marche based on other positive reviews despite 2 previous bad experiences with bloody chicken sent back twice. We ordered two Filets and sardine entrees. One steak was sent back twice before getting steak temperature nearly correct. The third attempt came with a new smoked bone marrow that now turned out to be bloody initially hidden by some unknown green stuff . The salads and the sardines were good. The beet soup and bread were excellent. When it came to dessert we just couldn't risk it. We decided to go home and comfort ourselves with Haagen Dazs ice cream to cleanse the palate. The service was generally superb but the tab wasn't. Not a place to rec read more

Best place in town. Open kitchen so you can see everything that's happening. Also has great brunch

Oooohhhh this place is delicious! We made a dinner reservation here before seeing the Nutcracker at the Hult Center and it was pretty perfect. While I wouldn't necessarily recommend bringing kids here (it feels like more of a date night kind of place) they actually do have a kids menu and the little ones in our group were pretty happy about that. Our waitress was really great and attentive and the food was fantastic. It's a great spot in the 5th street market read more

OMGGGGG!!!!!! I could eat breakfast here every day, I was in town for work and did a quick search for breakfast and I am so glad I went here. I ordered the ham and cheese omelet and let me tell you it was whipped to perfection so I had the fluffiest omelet, the cheese and ham were so fresh and delicious. It also came with house made strawberry jam and a slice of bread I licked the little bowl the jam came in clean. Not only is the food out of this world the staff was so friendly and really informative about the menu. Any time I am in Eugene I will be here for breakfast. read more

Delicious brunch! Great presentation and food was fantastic. Service was ok. Nothing special for the prices but I understand when you have 8 tables are super busy! Will come back soon! read more

The use of local food is great, and I liked the gourmet salts and wines. The pizza is not rewarmed enough and the service was not very good. I mean really pizza should not come out a bit better than luke warm! And just try to find some water in the place if the water pitcher is empty. I have not been back to see if it has improved after the first two times. This could be a great place with some better attention to detail. read more

Another restaurant stop during our Oregon trip. Had the steak baguette. The sandwich tasted good, but the bread was toasted too much to eat comfortably. Also, because it was a sub-styled sandwich (bread on the sides, not top and bottom), and the caramelized onions and peppers sat on top, it was a little difficult to eat; the onions and peppers threatened to spill out and I was also unable to have some with every bite (ever have that problem with a taco?). Also came with arugula placed on top, which I added to my salad; I assume it was supposed to serve as a lettuce substitute, but it wasn't IN the sandwich, and I didn't feel like opening up the sandwich to put it in. The steak itself was tasty if not a bit over-cooked, making it, of course, less tender than it could have been. The aioli went nicely with the steak. The accompanying salad was drizzled with a vinaigrette that was light on the vinegar. It was a nice compliment to the otherwise heavy sandwich. The flavor of the greens stood out and the vinaigrette did not overpower. Being that I had a steak sandwich on baguette, the price was not too bad. However, my wife had a grilled Tillamook cheese sandwich and fruit (the Croque Bébé) for $5.00. I assume that was some spectacular fruit. Would've given 3.5 stars, but Yelp doesn't do that. read more

Marche is, hands down, the best restaurant in Eugene. Last week, I went to the restaurant for a late night dinner, and I was extremely impressed with the exceptional service and quality of food. Our server was friendly, informative, and attentive. He helped make our our dining experience greatly enjoyable. My friend and I ordered foie gras, raw oysters, bruschetta, and chocolate mousse. The foie gras was perfectly seared, and it tasted like smooth, buttery heaven in my mouth. The raw oysters were large, fresh, and delicious. The bruschetta was not exceptional but still tasty. The chocolate mousse was served in a tea mug and delicious. read more

I have to rate it in relation to its price. The food, as food goes, was amazing. My girlfriend and I went there to celebrate her getting into college. She ordered the clam and rockfish dish and I had the blackened cod (been a week or so and I've forgotten the names of the dishes). Hers was absolutely wonderful and mine was very good, though probably not the best thing on the menu. The soup was to die for, every bite was worth the the next one. Overall everything was rather salty, but thats been my experience with french food overall. The waiter was wonderful and professional and funny and seemed to actually care about us customers. It was however, very very expensive. For the two of us our meal totaled 120$, so i have to give it 4$, because for the price of a month's groceries, it better be out of this world to get 5 stars. read more

We used Marche catering for our wedding this past Sunday. Jennifer is the best of the best. Everything day of was handled and executed to perfection! The staff was professional, courteous, and punctual The food was beyond amazing, all of our guests were blown away! The decorations and set up was so elegant and beautiful it literally brought tears to my eyes. Highly recommend to anyone having a wedding in the area, at any scale. When it comes to catering, they are second to none! Thank you Jennifer and team! read more

From the time we entered staff were exceptionally friendly. Service was courteous and prompt. As an appetizer we ordered the smoked sturgeon and all loved it. We then ordered different entrées to share with each other with none of us being disappointed in anything we tried. The dessert was also amazing. Portion size was excellent with all of us leaving perfectly content. The price was fair for the quality of food we received. Genuinely the best food I've had since moving to Eugene ( though to qualify this statement I have only lived here a couple of months) read more

Amazing new French cuisine, fresh and seasonally matched with their remarkable wine list!

Oddest thing: At opening today this place was nearly empty, yet the receptionist told everyone coming in the door that the wait would be 15-20 min. She was so uptight that after identifying our reservation, she sat us down in the entry, promptly forgot who we were, seated a bunch of people WITHOUT reservations, then at the precise second our reservation was scheduled, popped up and pretended to not realize that we had already checked in. Did I mention that the place was nearly empty? I can understand that they may be short staffed and have to carefully manage waiting and cooking, but LORD PLEASE!!!! SEAT PEOPLE AND LET THEM KNOW THAT THINGS ARE RUNNING SLOW!!! Give them some bread and water or something! 10 people in the lobby of an obviously empty restaurant does NOT look good! Oh.... and the food: my steak was perfectly rare, as I ordered. Everything else was OK. Nothing to jump up and down about. read more

One of the greatest restaurants in the Eugene area. Marché has some of the most magnificent food in town. Locally grown and raised products cover their menu which changes on a very regular basis. The managers show class and taste. The wait-staff are incredibly informed, polite, helpful, and warm. The wine list is also littered with local wines but it is smaller than it used to be. However it is still extensive and filled with typically great tasting wines. Dessert is always a WONDERFUL way to end this meal and for you after-dining coffee-lovers, Marché also pulls FANTASTIC espresso shots. Last tip:: alway try their preparations of foie gras. They are always amazingly artful and delicious creations. This restaurant must be experienced by those who truly enjoy the eating out experience! read more

Charcuterie plate, cheese plate: beautiful. Bartender (Evan) : AMAZing. Made us the perfect custom drink (altered manhattan sour with egg white and muddled peach) to go with our dessert. Professional, creative, brilliant, personable. . Lovely experience overall. Thank you, Evan, for a lovely night out. read more

On our return from Seattle, we stopped at Marche again and tried the "Bar Menu" and was totally surprised by selection, quality of food, and service. If you are in the neighbourhood, you should try steak frites, crab cakes, oysters, ... [everything]. And if you are lucky and Phil is your server, I assure you will have a great experience. read more

This is my absolute favorite restaurant! My husband and I like to go here for special occasions and it never disappoints. The setting is cozy and comfortable and they did a great job on designing it for sound. We never have issues with not being able to hear each other or with feeling overwhelmed with other people's conversations. It's not on the menu, but if you ask for it, they will make you an Ascot - a delicious signature bourbon drink that is sweet and makes me think of Christmas. Love it! read more

Went for my bday, our server (whose name I can't remember, but he had reddish hair and glasses and a beard? It's hard to tell in the masks) was super nice. Really helpful and accommodating for a group of 6 who were all ordering different things (mostly off the bar menu). Great! read more

It was a kind of disappointing night. Don't get me wrong they're solid but don't have your birthday meal here. I've enjoyed them over the years when I come to town. The cooks have skills and they use good ingredients. Tonight it was disappointing because they were out of things and had no specials. Oysters were the only special things among the appetizers and they had none. Everything else was bready or heavy or was a nut or a snack. The entrees are solid but it was the same 8 things I've been seeing for years. Leaning too much in the comfort food direction on everything. The best thing I had was a great glass of wine in a perfect glass at the perfect temperature. The service was lackluster. Our waiter was apologetically late at every turn though a nice guy with a big smile. He seemed more interested in the hostess than us. The host is the prettiest person in the place. She is very taken with her own prettiness and can hardly be bothered to speak to guests. I was thinking it was weird she was so uncommunicative and into herself. When we got home my husband told me had gone to the restaurant mid day and said this was a birthday meal and he would love to make it special in any way he could. She nodded blankly and he left. He kept expecting something anything good to happen at the meal but all we got was no oysters slow service and blank stares. Note to restaurant: person with people skills should host, not the prettiest person over impressed with themselves. No one cared. Felt like they weren't trying anymore. Wait staff could be more knowledgeable and professional if this were a first rate restaurant not a place sadly coasting and Not trying very hard read more
