They are always consistent and have delicious fresh squeezed orange juice towards the summer, I usually always get the steak tenderloin or the burger never disappoints. Bartenders remember people by name which is always a plus :) read more

Mother's Day breakfast with dear friends. Two of us shared the Benedict, our third had the smoked trout hash, we shared beignets. Simply superb. All three of us are good cooks and picky eaters and we repeatedly oohed and shared amazement. Service was just as superb as the plates. We agreed we'll not just come back, we may actually move in. read more

One of my favorite places for happy hour or brunch. We love to sit in the bar area or outside when it's nice out. The service is always quite good, the staff knowledgeable, and the food consistent which can be hard to find in Eugene. They have nice seasonal specials in both food and cocktails and the quality of ingredients is evident in the taste of the dishes. I've been coming here for special occasions for years and have even brought my (unadventurous) mother here for brunch and she loved it. It may be in a higher price-point than other restaurants around town, but the quality, service, and standards are all worth it. I love just snacking on little happy hour bites and sipping a few cocktails, or coming for dinner on a date night. Definitely worth a visit! read more

This restaurant serves pseudo-gourmet food. I have been here three times (why oh why?) to give it a fair chance, and have been disappointed each time. Their service is slow, and their food is BAD. Go across the street to Belly, where the food is amazing, and they always offer nightly specials that are not featured on their menu, which is made weekly. read more

The food here was awesome and the bar tender was very knowledgable about what wine would pair good with my meal. I ordered a wood fired pizza and my best friend got the pork chop. Like best friends do we shared. Both were excellent. The pork chop was smokey flavored with an awesome citrusy fruit topping. Absolutely amazing. There was only one thing wrong with our meal and why I could not give this place 5 stars. What they call a steak knife there is really like a butter knife. It literally took about 2 minutes to saw through each bite of pork. We were joking about just picking it up with our hands to naw off the next bite. The bar tender laughed and said he's seen people do it before. Get new knives so your customers can eat their food without getting an arm workout in. read more

Fantastic menu. Service is exquisite. Steak and eggs brunch was a must try item. Coffee is perfectly brewed and from a great roaster. Overall, I'd recommend anyone to come here. read more

Marche - Steak and eggs brunch. - French Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Great meal, wine, service and atmosphere. If you don't like the French dishes you can order from the Le Bar menu. We saw a lot of burgers coming from the kitchen. The ingredients were local and fresh. Try the pinot flight to sample some great wines. You can't go wrong here. Make a reservation to be safe. read more

Marche - Poached cod with grilled octopus, potatoes, leeks, onions and slice of baguette. Perfect for a winter night. - French Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

First time here for breakfast and loved it! Been here many times for dinner and love it, the breakfast though is almost better. Not very busy and love that they are open really early. This might become my new goto breakfast place. My girlfriend also loves the food. This might be her favorite place in town. Highly recommend you try this place. Tell them Bob sent you. read more

Marche - Lots of seating and amazing food. - French Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Marche's new spring menu debuted last week just in time for my birthday dinner. We had a fabulous meal -- everything was so fresh, flavorful and beautiful -- and the staff were warm and friendly. Delicious seasonal food, great service, and such a cozy and inviting interior (loved the art and shadow boxes on the walls). Our server was great and very knowledgeable about every detail of the new menu. I highly recommend all of the following dishes: - Deviled eggs with bacon & mustard blossoms - Pizzetta topped with braised lettuce, peas & pecorino - Tartine Trio: toasts with three different toppings, fave bean purée with pecorino, radishes with butter and fleur de sel, and a hazelnut romesco with crispy leeks - Oregon bay shrimp salad - Salmon with roasted carrots & English pea purée - Fisherman's Stew (the halibut was perfection!) - Roasted chicken breast with gnocchi, brown butter & snap peas - Goat cheese & green garlic soufflé with a delectable medley of sautéed spring veggies (asparagus, fava beans, carrots, radishes, etc). So scrumptious! We felt very welcome at Marche. Fine dining like this is a once a year occasion for us, so our expectations were high. Yes, the food is pricey, but well worth it in my opinion, for high quality ingredients, excellent service and an atmosphere that feels both special and comfortable (and you can hear your dining companions easily since the tables are well-spaced from one another.) We will definitely be back. P.S. I liked it so much that I went back the next day for lunch by myself and enjoyed the tagliatelle with tarragon butter, pecorino and spring vegetables. read more

See all

Don't go there for breakfast as it seems like you are just a bother to them... as they are getting ready for the lunch crowd ???..... Had to ask twice for coffee after waiting 5 minutes for the waitress to appear. No smiles , No good morning.Then when I was finally served the potatoes were cold... just like the staff... However my wive's berry crepes were amazing.. Maybe they were practicing being an angry French waiter with Ugly Americans..??? read more

What is happening at March'? Used to be our place to go for a nice breakfast. Went today for a Valentine breakfast and the bacon was like leather and I couldn't even get my fork in some of the fried potatoes. I am not one to complain but when the waitress (who was wonderful) asked how everything was, I told her the bacon was pretty much burnt. She immediately took it away and I heard her ask the kitchen to cook some more bacon that was not crispy. Well, it came and was extremely crispy - not leathery like the first but definitely way over cooked. Granted we were there at the end of breakfast (10:30) but come on. It's not hard to cook bacon. It's like it had been sitting around all morning. Sorry, but hearing some other people that have also had problems with Marche' in the last few months, I think we'll rethink going there again in the future. It's a shame because it used to be exceptional! read more

Wife and i both came on Sat morning. It was very busy, but we were seated w/o reservation after 10 min. Staff was very professional, we both tried the eggs Benedict. Best ever! Wow, flavor of the smoked pork and the sauce was divine! read more

Steak frites at $20 that consisted of six small sliced pieces of steak and less than a hand full of frites.. my wife's $14 beet salad was just that. Beets and apples. The flavors were delicious , however portions are ridiculously small. Look , I'm not saying we should all be expecting these ridiculous huge American super sized portions , but at least enough food to feel satisfied. Sever was rude , never asked how our food was , dropped our check without so much as a word. This was a special treat for us , taking my wife to lunch who is a new mother , without our baby ... was sadly dissatisfied ... had to go next door to get a slice of pizza after, read more

My wife and I had dinner when we stayed at the Inn on 5th. I had the steak, it was good, she had the pork and said it was to die for. Service was great and the waiter kept the drinks coming. Will definitely return! read more

Terrific restaurant and wait staff. Had bar food as well as a dinner at this fine restaurant! The Gnocchi was absolutely incredible, served with sweet corn and cherry tomatoes. read more

I like breakfast places and this is great place to eat. I am a big fan of farm to table wherever possible and Marche quietly provides really fresh food. I am sure lunch and dinner are no different. The waiter was excellent. My partner is allergic to onions and he went above and beyond to assure us that the items she ordered were onion free. Amazing care to our needs fresh well prepared made this a fabulous treat. I would reccomend it if you're in this part of town. read more

Had lunch here the other day. People were super nice, and very accommodating to me and my friend who both have gluten allergies, and put up with us asking a lot of questions. Super friendly staff and tasty lunch. read more

I gave Marche' a three not for the food but the service. I have never in my life eaten at a French restaurant and had food thrown at me so fast. Maybe it was becasue I was there alone I just don't know. I had my first and second course deilvered so fast that I was done eating 35 minutes after I sat down. It was almost stressful. Next time I will wait to order each course until I am ready to eat it. The food was fantastic but a little overpriced. read more

Why is there not a register near the pizza? I ordered and then had to cross to the coffee bar to pay. Consider adding a register pleeas! read more

Their breakfast is awesome!!!! I love the ham and swiss omelette - so moist. I prefer their breakfast to their dinner, mostly because breakfast is much cheaper. On the expensive side, but a nice sophisticated restaurant in Eugene. read more

When Marche gets it right it is delicious and a fantastic dining experience. I used to dine here frequently. For some reason they can't seem to get potatoes right. Once my mashed potatoes were too cold. My last visit the entre came with roasted potatoes. The potatoes were refrigerator cold. I asked if they were intended to be served cold and the waiter took my plate back to the kitchen heated the potatoes bringing back my dinner which now had hot potatoes and cooled down everything else. Yuck! So for 38 dollars a plate I think I would rather eat somewhere more consistent that doesn't serve reheated leftover food. read more

Service here was a mess. It must be going on reputation. It took us 20 minutes to be seated after a reservation, and it was impossible to find the wait person. My sole consisted of two small pieces on a bed of barley. After 15 minutes of trying to get attention to order wine, it turned out they didn't have any of the very common type that we wanted. No apology for this. My portion of fish was so small that I had to take part of the food of two other people. This was my birthday dinner, and I would say the food was below mediocre. It took 25 minutes to bring a dessert. What a joke that this place is ranked very often number one in Eugene. I will never go back there. Perhaps it goes on it's French name, which sounds so trendy. Biggest rip off in Eugene. read more

Nice French bistro. While I had an all-american breakfast, it was good. Service was attentive and great.

This is a wonderful find! We went for brunch and enjoyed the fish plate, beignets and mimosas. Staff was attentive and worked us in without a reservation. read more

My issue with Marché is it can be good, but it is too hit and miss in my opinion, and they charge too much to lack consistency. We've eaten at Marché probably about 6 times. Sometimes we've been happy with the experience. But this time, we got a reservation because we were too late to get one on Valentine's day, and they still stuck us at a small uncomfortable table at a window instead of a booth. Had they only told us that for a reservation days in advance they'd still cram us onto small uncomfortable chairs at a small table by the kitchen, we'd have tried to schedule for another day and said we want a booth or we'll find another restaurant. We paid $168 (tip included) for 3 glasses of mediocre red wine and underwhelming food. The beet soup with blue cheese was not terrible, but too bland for what the ingredients implied. Not enough blue cheese flavor to make it interesting, at all. It was more like a basically flavorless cheese as thickener. It needed salt and wasn't any more exciting than just an ordinary soup anywhere. It was colorful though, and unique, to say the least, and sounded like it should be good, so it had that going for it. Most of the more interesting main course options looked to be in the hooved animal foods, which we don't eat. Choices for fish didn't include salmon, which is usually a classic foolproof fallback item. There was trout, which might have been good. And also cod with a *vinaigrette* (the most expensive item). I thought the trout sounded better, but waiter said he thought the cod was really something, so switched my order from trout to cod, and now I'll never know. Cod with vinaigrette? Are you kidding me? Who the hell signed off on that??? It was as bad as it sounds. Vinegar is good on cod when it's malt vinegar on fish & chips, but a bland vinegar sauteed topping including onion and other material dumped over a substantial piece of soft nicely textured, well-cooked but otherwise completely insipid piece of cod is the most inane thing I've ever eaten at an expensive restaurant. And for that they wanted $29. They also over-hyped what turned out to be a rather lackluster $14 black truffle to shave over it. The desert (baked Alaska) was quite good, but overall the dinner was mediocre at best, improved somewhat with more salt than should have been needed on two of the items. There was no wow factor. Nothing to rave about. I just can't believe I spent a whopping $168 for a dinner that was a disappointment, when a local food cart could have given me something vastly tastier and better conceived, for a small fraction of the price. The ambience and uncomfortable table sure didn't offset the meal cost-wise. Marche's brunch was very enjoyable, the other week, so I will probably go for some more brunches, but maybe 1/3 of the dinner menu choices I've had there have been too underwhelming for the price so I'm finished taking chances. I'm not going to gamble on expensive dinners there anymore. I feel they've gotten too big for their britches and don't take their commitment seriously enough. Last special occasion dinner at that place for me. If you love oysters or red meat, maybe Marché is your place, I don't know but after getting sick from bad oysters in the Bay Area many years ago I won't risk them anymore. Marché makes a good hot buttered rum. But I'm just saying that for $168 for a dinner for two in Eugene, I expect some pretty robust and impressive options, red meat or not and I can't give a restaurant that expensive too many chances or much forgiveness for having a bad night. Sorry. read more

This is a breakfast review. Lunch and dinner may be better. The service was good and the ambiance is pleasant, but potatoes were cold, and toast not toasted. We asked for jam and received apple butter. We will not return. Since many others enjoyed their meals here we hope your experience exceeds ours. read more

We had dinner here for the first night and we will be coming back. We had a reservation for 615 and arrived early we were seated right away. The wait staff was very friendly and made you feel right at home. The drinks were great and the food was absolutely amazing. All in all a great experience read more

This place is a vanilla paradise; however, if you are a woman of color, be prepared to wait....wait....wait....and then wait some more. On me and my husband's anniversary we sat at the table for over a half an hour watching OUR server hover over what I am sure is a more desirable table for "tips" if you catch my drift. My advice to you Marche, don't discriminate against anyone you assume doesn't fit your idea of worthy to sit at your table. I'm going to Roadhouse where the drinks are fast and the people are friendly read more

I had a hard time determining how many stars to give. Throughout the ages I've had the best of meals and the most disappointing meals here. We consider it to be one of our favorite restaurants, especially if someone else is paying. I've had the cutest, mini portioned morsels (that were supposed to be an entree) perfectly plated, if not a bit spendy. Food as art. And I've had food I wanted to turn back to the kitchen (although I'm too nice to actually do that very often). I think it must depend on the solidity of the staff at the time. I hate judging a place by one visit. They may have had a bad night. The last time we were treating 6 of us and spent a pretty penny. I don't think Ill be doing that again, everyone's meal was disappointing. But other times we've come just the 2 of us on a warm summer evening and had a wonderful, simply delicious meal with lovely veggies cooked properly. Well worth the price. I feel a bit like Lina J., me and my sweetie are split about our final evaluation. What Marche does right is in the quality of ingredients they use. Local and organic. I think they were the first fine dining place in Eugene to realize organically and locally grown food tastes better and is the secret to fine dining. Next time someone else is treating, they'll be on my short list. We will back to try again, because it might be wonderful! read more

I've only been here once, but liked it. Excellent sandwiches. I tried a pesto/white bean/fontina on foccaccia, and it was nice. They also offer pizzas, soups, and tossed salads I believe. Everything looked good- or appeared to be well made. Companions tried pizza, sandwiches, wine--everyone was happy. I wasn't entirely happy with the wines. I had a lovely glass of Willamette valley Merlot with my sandwich, but although it was only $5 glass, it was close to $40 for a bottle, retail. I did end up buying 4 bottles of wine (total, $84)--all of which I found to be somewhat disappointing. In retrospect I should have taken the hint upon being told about a sparkling rose: "yeah, that's good. Put a cranberry in it and it'll be festive, like at a party." Return for the lunch snacks, beware of pricey wines. read more

Don't even get me started on the prices because their food is worth it. I could go in and get the crappiest service ever (which has never even remotely happened) and still want to go back. The best dish I have ever had was a cool, rare beef tenderloin... cooked to perfection. It melted in my mouth, almost literally. The last time I went my partner and I ordered something from every course and for the appetizer we got the sampler which had rabbit liver and a bunch of other culinary oddities, but guess what? AMAZING! I can't wait to be back in Oregon, just so I can eat my heart out at Marche. I love you guys! read more

My wife and I each ordered French toast with an orange juice, and a side of sausage. The serving size was astonishingly small. The French toast was one very small piece of bread and the orange juice was about 4 oz of orange juice and a cup of ice and one small sausage link. After finishing my meal I was still very hungry and the total cost for both of us was over $40 If I spend $40 at least I want to feel full. Although the food tasted good I will never go here again read more

I apologize in advance, but I'm basing this review entirely on their cheeseburger. It is without a doubt the finest cheeseburger I've ever eaten, and I just had to write a review about it. Never have I had a burger so moist and flavorful, and so complimented by the toppings as well as the choice of cheese. I'm sure their dinners are lovely, and I will be trying them some day, but although it may be $16.50 (with bacon), it is actually well worth that price. Trust me. read more

Went in for breakfast and the trout hash was bland, no gluten free substitute for the bread, and the service left something to be desired. Overall, not worth the price, unfortunately. read more

Love this place! We didn't have a reservations so we just had dinner in the bar area. The food was amazing - we just ordered several different small plates and split an entree. Service was top notch as well. We will definitely be back! read more

My son Cameron is a junior at the University of Oregon at the time. Ever since his freshman year Cafe Marche has been one of our favorite restaurants in Eugene . We have been there at least 10 times in the last 3 years and loved their food and service. Even my 82 year old father from Germany has dined there and loved it. So when I decided to spent Mother's day with my son I asked him to a make reservations for Saturday at 7 and as usual looked forward to yummy food and great service. We arrived for our 7 o'clock reservation on a beautiful day and were seated outside. I had not seen the new addition to the bar area and was exited to spent a nice and relaxing evening with my son on 5/12/12. I live in Seattle, Washington and have been a foodie all my life. I have dined in great restaurants all over the world but look forward to this little gem in Eugene, Oregon every time I am in town.n As soon as we were seated and the " energized and stressed out" waitress came to our table I should have known that this visit was going to be different. When I dine at a restaurant I do not want to hear about the stressed kitchen staff and all the problems and the items that are not on the menu from the get go. I came here to relax and have good food. The job of the wait staff is to keep that to themselves not to run around like a chicken with their head cut off from table to table and make everyone feel stressed. Our waitress was the worst !!! We ordered appetizers and starters and asked the waitress of some of our favorite appetizers not on the menu. Instead of telling us that she will check with the kitchen she rattled off the stress the kitchen is under at the time and that it would probably wont be possible. OK. I ordered my beef tenderloin medium and when it arrived on my table the waitress looked at it and took it away as it was charred an all the way done. I appreciated that even though my son was having his entree. She returned 3 minutes later with snot her well done tenderloin. I asked them to take it back again and this time the manager brought it out for the third time...... It was for the third time well done not medium!!! They never even bothered to replace the vegetables and potatos that by now had been put under the heat lamp for the third time and were absolutely disgustingly mushy plus the tenderloin was still not medium . The manager never bothered to come to our table and explain or at least apologize for ruining our dinner. I never ate my entree , paid our bill and left . Maybe Matche needs to do a better job hiring their wait staff especially a manager who actually care about their job and ha e the skills to manage one of the top restaurant in this city. read more

The experience was mixed. While the food was prepared well. I had a salmon dish and it was fresh and cooked well not too squishy nor too tough. The wait staff was really rude. We did not have a reservation but the place was only half full on a Sunday evening. We visited and drank for a long while. Any real french restaurant should encourage the savoring of connection over great food. Once we ate, the waiter came twice to ask for the bill, then once that was paid, we never saw him again. Our patronage that evening brought the restaurant about $200. This is not an inexpensive experience. No water was offered to us after paying and they even dimmed the lights in our section only. We got the message to leave. If you don't want happy patrons, why have a restaurant? Very disappointing. read more

I walked in the back door inside the market and a very curt young lady said I could sit anywhere I want on the tile, and if I wanted to sit in the wooded area to see the greeter. I sat for 10 minutes before I went up to the greeter to inform her I had not been helped. After watching several people walk in I thought I should get my order in so I ordered the Lox that I saw online. It arrived very quickly. It was good. Service was just nasty though. read more

This has to be the most overpriced dinner I have ever had. I am talking about dinner because I think brunch is great here. Our cod dinner was $29.00. It literally was a tiny piece of cod with a curry sauce. Period. No potato, no salad, no vegetable....just a small piece of fish. $29.00. They did serve a small basket of bread . So, we ordered a beet salad. It literally had 4 small slices of beet on it. There was grapefruit..........a lot of grapefruit.....so I am not sure why this was not called a grapefruit salad....Our bill plus tip was $110.00...That did include 2 beers and two vodkas, to be fair. I will not be back. read more

My family and I came here one morning for breakfast while we were visiting Eugene, and just adored this place! The interior is beautifully decorated, and the service was friendly and attentive. I had a delicious lox plate and my husband had the croque, which he very much enjoyed. We also both had bloody marys-which were the icing on the cake, you might say! read more
