Service and ambiance are great; I prefer the lunch menu over the dinner menu. Outdoor seating area is cozy.

Ugh...this is hard to write because I love much about Marche (local sourcing of food, service, lots of local wines!) but I have been to Marche's twice in less than a month and have been disappointed with one menu item that I believe they should remove from their menu- cornmeal fried oysters. My husband and I went to celebrate our anniversary on Christmas Eve 2022 and as grateful as we were to have a good restaurant open on Christmas Eve and it was by reservation only to go there, I ordered my favorite cornmeal fried oysters with field green salad. The few medium sized oysters were so hard as if the cornmeal was thick over the oyster and fried too long. Very disappointing. My salad was a small bunch of mixed lettuce DRY (no dressing). I chalked it up to VERY BUSY and workers want to go home. I get it. Second time was last Saturday when I met up w/ my trio of girl friends and we went to Marche for lunch. Again, I ordered the cornmeal fried oysters. Again, extremely disappointed. Hard crunch on just a few medium sized oysters...with the small handful of wild lettuce this time w/ a vinaigrette dressing. I'll never order oysters at Marche again. I think maybe there is a shortage of oysters and to make up for it they fry it in big globs of cornmeal and you get these little bits of cornmeal balls....maybe to cover the fact that there aren't enough oysters on the plate. I would just take that item off the menu. For $16.00 it just wasn't worth it. I could have had a burger (nice amt of beef) and pommes frites for a dollar more. I will say.....ask for the soup selection. I would highly recommend their in-house soups! I ordered a cup of a squash soup and it was amazing! read more

Attentive, friendly service, flavorful, fresh food, easy reservation process, thematic, tasteful decor, and lots of parking. We went for Easter brunch during a visit to Eugene based on Yelp reviews. It was the best ambiance, best price, best service, and best food during our trip. We started with the obligatory beignets and the Easter special, hot cross buns. The beignets were all the puffy, warm, slightly sweet goodness you'd expect and the rhubarb sauce on side was a creative, fresh, spring treat. The buns were warm, appropriately doughy, and sprinkled with tart currants. For breakfast we had a croque madame and the boudin blanc. The sandwich had a great toasty crunch, just the right amount of melted cheese, and a lovely egg. The boudin blanc had the same great egg and sausage with a unique, rich pate texture. We will be back. read more

I went for a mini girls night, pros: the food was ok, the drinks were ok, but when my prosecco came, it looked like they shorted me??? I was so confused so was my friend. I asked the server and she said they measure the pours. That is OK, but, I would have used a different glass, it didnt feel good to get half a glass of brut for $15. When our food came, my friends pork chop was under cooked and my steak was so tiny for $25, I could not believe it. Ive been to Marche so many times, and have enjoyed so many special occassions there, my steak was burnt and over done and they didnt seem to care at all. Im really dissapointed and hope it goes back to how it was read more

Easter Sunday brunch for the HUGE win!!! This was by far the best meal we had while staying in Eugene!. We will making Marche our "tradition" to be visited every time we are in the area going forward. Gonna try to keep this short, because the experience is well worth the read! Two of the three of us ordered the Boudin Blanc and the other, Croque Madame. This was brunch style fine dining at its finest, with superior service to enhance the experience. Special shout-out to our server Jennifer, who is an absolute ray of sunshine! This isn't "just a place to eat." This is an experience! As a rule, I can only eat about half of my meal in the restaurant, ultimately getting full and saving the rest for later. I ate the entire dish, leaving nothing behind! The whole service experience is so well choreographed that you just naturally exhale, enjoy good company and conversation, great service, and amazing food- all worth just savoring the whole experience. Last, but certainly not least, I am still dumbfounded that this superb dining experience cost only about $15-$20 more than all the pedestrian options we've tied in our visit for breakfast, lunch, or dinner! Everything in Eugene seems to include an up charge just for being a college town." Marche is both worth the time and money in any town!! read more

One of the worst restaurant experiences we have encountered in all of our travels. We arrived at 8:40pm for a quick order before closing, and there was a complete lack of professional service, the food took an hour to arrive, and the meal was undercooked. We sent things back for further cooking and stressed that the main part of the dish be cooked to completion in lieu of remaking the whole dish. It was salmon, and they remade the whole dish the same way - undercooked. It was also done with a lot of patronizing attitude from the manager and waitstaff on hand. What an incredibly bad experience. We ended up spending about 90 minutes there, and then went to a pub for a simple dinner afterwards. read more

Visited Marche with my wife and it was delicious! I called to make a reservation, since we were told it can get busy for dinner and Happy Hour. We were sat in a quiet cozy corner when we arrived. The waiter was kind and patient. I was hoping to order from the Happy Hour menu, but was told that it was only available at the bar. That was a bit of a bummer, because I really wanted to order from there, but my wife wanted to sit where we were and order from the full menu. Our waiter kindly asked us if we wanted to move to the bar, and that it would be no problem at all, but I chose to stay so that my wife would be more comfortable. I think that's my only complaint, that it's required to sit at the bar to be able to order from HH. Aside from that, everything else was great. I ordered the oysters, which I had been craving, and they did not disappoint. They were fresh and delicious, I'll definitely go back for more. I also ordered the Bourride (rockfish, manila clams, mussels, aïoli & rich white broth, grilled baguette). It was realllly good. The flavors mixed so well together. Definitely good if you're wanting a cozy seafood plate, that's light on the palate. If you want something more bold in flavor, and suitable for the season, you should try what my wife ordered; Coq Au Riesling (chicken hindquarter braised in wine, with mushrooms, onions, lardons & salt-roasted potatoes). It was very good and probably one of my favorite chicken dishes I've had in a while. I even mentioned to my wife that I'd like to try to make that at home, which I doubt will come out of the same. For dessert, we ordered the Chocolate (dark chocolate torte, chocolate crémeux, chocolate-hazelnut mousse, passionfruit curd & chocolate ice cream). This was also very yummy. Probably one of the top 5 desserts I've had in quite some time. I originally thought it might be TOO MUCH chocolate, but all the flavors combined well together to give it the right amount of sweetness and texture. The passion fruit curd helped cut down the extremely rich chocolate flavors to put it all together very nicely. I'd go back just for the dessert. I ordered a latte with it, and to be honest, it was just okay. It wasn't terrible, but I expected a better latte from a French restaurant. Overall, we had a great meal and would love to go back. I'm looking forward to see what the other delicious options they offer in different seasons! Yes, I recommend this restaurant. read more

Have never been disappointed at Marche. The food is varied and well prepared. The servers are friendly and efficient. Even the time one of our party started out grumpy and demanding, his attitude completely changed once he got his dinner. read more

So many issues here. Let's do food first. The Mussels were so bad I honestly lost my entire appetite and I hope I live. The taste was horrendous actually and the chef said, "he will look into it". No chef, take actual accountability for how bad they were. The fried oysters were okay, my husband liked them but my palate was destroyed. Terrible wines by the glass list, not all good options. Grenache was chosen due to limited options and was like smoking a cigar but I should have known better. The fruit cup is mostly grapefruit even for a kid. Service was so slow and just inefficient. We waited 50 minutes not the 20 promised. This restaurant is poorly managed, the food isn't worth it and it frankly ruined my day. read more

This is one of my favorite local spots I have found so far to go to brunch. The decor, the staff, and the food are all top notch. I have yet to order anything I was not a fan of. I mean look at the size of that hot chocolate they have. It was more like a warm bowl of melted chocolate that I would have ordered more of, had I still had the room. If you're planning on visiting I recommend making a reservation ahead of time. read more

Great dinner!! My waiter suggested the oysters, and it was a solid recommendation. Got the beet salad and the crab cakes. Waiter suggested I might want more, but it was a great amount of food! The atmosphere was just loud enough, but mellow enough for me to get some work done. The staff was all very attentive. Whomever is hiring, managing and training is doing an outstanding job. The food was delicious and came out looking picturesque. Everything here is firing on all cylinders. It's nice to find a spot like this! By the way, ask to sit in Noah's section. read more

Came back for dinner and it was pretty good! The seared trout and fried oysters were perfect. The soup was so-so; the pesto drizzled on top of the butternut squash soup seemed a little out of place. Some greens that came with the fried oysters were a little wilted, too. read more

Marche has some of the best desserts. There have been times where we have come by at the end of the night (if they have a table), to enjoy a coffee or drink with one of their desserts. Most recently I enjoyed a Café au lait and Buttermilk Cafe w/Buttermilk sorbet. The cake was light and tasty, though I wish there was more berry sauce included. The espresso was wonderful! One of the best restaurants for an amazing meal and/or a special occasion. read more

Eugene, Or. Great place for some fine dining without being snooty. Steph and I came here to celebrate our 39th wedding anniversary. Our waiter was great, at first I thought "Oh, another dramatic server" but he revealed a real personable, well, person. We were well attended to throughout the evening, and our waiter actually performed most duties himself, including bussing dishes, serving food, and making sure water glasses were kept filled. My halibut with mussels and clams was superb. The mussels were small and tasty. The halibut cooked perfectly. The clams, I dunno, just clams. The salmon was a beautiful chunk of steak, and again, cooked perfectly. The sauces for each dish were excellent. The artichoke was tasty, but described as the size of a softball. Instead we got a tennis ball. Lots of crumbs on it that were very tasty but for leaf dipping there was no melted butter. Just a small vial of mayonnaise. Not even spiced up mayo, just plain ol outta the jar mayo. My rhubarb pastry dessert was a bit disappointing because it was mostly pastry, which was very good, but barely a trace of rhubarb. The chocolate dish however was decadent yet not overly rich. Loved it with a great tasting decaf. The dish of hazelnuts deserves mention because they tasted like they may have been roasted in bacon fat. "Not so!"Explained our waiter, this is done in house with various spices and oils. Regardless, they were great! The IPA they serve here has a more mild hoppiness than most, but enough to give it some good flavor. I really liked this beer, but cannot remember the maker except that it was Oregon brewed. read more

We had a very disappointing dinner at Marche's Christmas Eve. The waitress did a very poor description of the $90 set dinner, describing the appetizer at "a french version of crab cakes." It was a few slabs of raw tuna with a squeeze of line. The most inedible course was the crab bisque which had a slight taste of crab but mostly tasted and had the texture of paste. The bouillabaisse was okay but served in a cold bowl so was room temperature about 2 minutes after being served. Overall, I would say they have given up on seasoning and especially salt. Most of the food was bland to tasteless. This was especially disappointing because we had a good dinner there a year ago on Christmas Eve. After many years of enjoying Marche, we won't be returning there any time soon. read more

Date: 10/30/23 Food: 3/5 Ambiance: 2/5 Service: 3/5 Management: 2/5 TL;DR: Some of the most "meh" food from a supposed fine dining establishment in the state...with an extra portion of clunky service on the side! This was our second trip to Marche (our first, being outside in December during a rainstorm in the midst of COVID lockdown restrictions, was so miserable that it defies any attempt to be reviewed) and it left me wanting more...or less, if that is possible. Things started out well enough for us this time, with an appropriately pretentious facade and primly polite front-of-house employees, but it deteriorated quickly. Though I had left a comment during booking requesting a premium table for my dining partner's surprise birthday dinner, they refused to acknowledge the occasion even as they read my request aloud, struggling to find a nice table at which to seat us at the time of our reservation. We were eventually shoved into a two-top less than three feet from the open exhibition kitchen and an even shorter distance from the packed booths across the narrow aisle. It being a Saturday evening, the restaurant was packed with couples and groups conversing at top volume, completely dashing my hopes for dinner with a side of sophistication. The menu was promising, but the food was decidedly less so. While the beef tartare was tasty enough--we ate every morsel!--the rustic baguette seemed more stale than artisanal (as in, tooth-breakingly rock-like and definitely not worth the $3 upcharge) and my tomato gnocchi entree was rich to the point of being completely overpowering. Topped with smoked goat cheese that did nothing to alleviate the fatty aftertaste of the cloying sauce, it cried out dismally for freshness provided only in the strange flower petals (?) scattered haphazardly on top which, while attractive, were nearly impossible to eat. My dining partner enjoyed their lamb dish, but its presentation was sadly lacking. Our two nonalcoholic cocktails were completely unremarkable, especially considering the magnificent mixology we had enjoyed earlier in the evening at 86 across the street. BUT--the greatest of all shortcomings we experienced that night was not the bland, insipid food but, instead, the service. In between our appetizer and entree, we somehow ended up with a total of FIVE knives on our table and NO other flatware. It was only after our main dishes had been delivered that we managed to flag someone down and pitifully request forks with which to enjoy our entrees. The waitress was cordial about it, but it did not negate that problem, nor make better the fact that our main waiter could offer little insight as to the specifics of any menu selections and that not a single person in the restaurant could be bothered to provide a birthday dessert or wish my dining partner a happy birthday when the occasion had been specifically stated on my reservation...which they clearly had, because they reviewed my comments before giving me the antithesis of what I had requested--in other words, one of the worst tables in the house. If you're looking to be disappointed by Applebees-quality preparations of Michelin-style dishes, needlessly pretentious service, and a staggeringly unrefined atmosphere, then Marche is your place. (Oh, yes, and the last time we visited during COVID, one of the waiters literally yelled at me for forgetting my mask when I stepped inside to take a quick bathroom trip. I was hesitant to return then...now I know why.) read more

I really love marche. I worked here a thousand years ago actually. The quality hasn't seemed to change, which is spot on! I recently dined here and we ordered a bunch of things. The asparagus salad was executed perfectly. Tangy, creamy, Yumm! The GOUGÈRES were bland. I won't order again to be honest. The bread was far better. We ordered the cheese soufflé and the steak. Both cooked beautifully. My only comment really would be that there was enough vegetables on the soufflé to feed four people, lol. The service was impeccable and the deserts were absolutely divine! I don't personally recommend the pizzettas. Every time I get one, it's soggy in the center. Flavor great, but I'm not a fan of the sog. read more

Food was excellent. Flavors great. Had breakfast. Attentive service Nice atmosphere

I ate at March's one evening with a large group in the back room and had an excellent experience. The wait staff was very attentive and the food and wine very good, as well. We had various appetizers, including several variations of oysters, a crab dip, and a flatbread mushroom pizza. They arrived promptly and at appropriate temperatures. All were enjoyed by the party. For our entrees, I had a black cod Provençal. It was beautifully prepared, but I did not enjoy that it was bone in. The waiter did inform me of that fact, which did not dissuade me, but it was difficult navigating the spine in a stew and removing bones while I ate. Most others ordered the ribeye or steak special, a couple of muscles, gnocchi, and a pork chop. We all enjoyed our food and most of us opted for dessert. I had the warm chocolate cookies with creme de pot. It was rich and a beautiful conclusion to a good meal. I would definitely recommend Marche, for any occasion. read more

Best. Brunch. Period. Come for a true omelette - not a stupid US style one with zero technique. Marche also makes what I'd consider to be the best burger in Eugene.

Was taken here for my birthday celebration dinner in Eugene for the football weekend. We arrived a little early, but our table was already prepared, and the host cleaned/sanitized the menus just before she handed them to us. We tried two different cocktails a piece, and they were both very good. There were from the season cocktail menu. The menu was a little on the smaller side, but well thought out, and very season which was awesome to see. We ordered the Sweet potato coup, the tenderloin, and the margarita pizza and added prosciutto. The sweet potato soup was a little bit of a gamble in my eyes, but it paid off. It was very creamy, flavorful, but the sweet potato flavor wasn't overpowering. The tenderloin was cooked to a perfect medium, and had a great sear on all sides. It was seasoned well, and pair perfectly with the puree that it came with. The pizza came out at the same time as the tenderloin, which we had asked for which was really nice. The pizza itself was a thin crust, and was very good. The one critique I would give about the pizza is that the prosciutto seemed like an after thought, and appeared to be added on at the end. Would have been great to have it a little crisp on the edges to give in a little texture against the dough. However, that is very nit picky. The meal, service, atmosphere was great. Would definitely eat here again. read more

It had been forever since we had a proper "dining out" experience. When a special occasion came up we decided to try it out, and settled on Marche since I had driven by before and noticed the tent outside. We called up and made a reservation. I started off with a "Green Grass" cocktail which involved vodka, kombucha, lime, ginger syrup, and mint. It was served in a wine glass, filled to the top. I really enjoyed it and it paired well with the savory food. Next up were appetizers - we did the brandade dip (salt cod + potato) served with some nice crostini bread. Very good. We also got the blood orange salad with soft cheese & pistachios. Also really darn good. For entrees we did the pork chop ($29) and the halibut ($26). They were both excellent in taste and presentation and definitely worth the price. Definite lick-the-plate-clean sentiment for both dishes. The halibut was served with a hazelnut romesco (like a chunky sauce) that was a bit spicy. I loved it, but if you don't like heat you should probably stay away. The pork was amazingly tender, probably the best pork I've had honestly. You won't be disappointed. Overall it was a wonderful experience. Service was fast & friendly. The tent was kept warm and not over-crowded. Everyone was properly masked. I would order any of the food items again. I would definitely try to have a reservation, as the tent does not accommodate that many parties. They also have convenient online-ordering for to-go orders. read more
