Monsieur Marcel Gourmet Market, Bistro & Seafood Market

We enjoyed a tasty and fun afternoon celebrating Bastille Day. Noah was a fantastic guide to our menu choices. We started with a refreshing bottle of the house Rose wine, the escargot puffs and vichyssoise. The main course of Coa Au Vin and potatoes was good but wiuld have liked a little thicker a sauce. The music was very enjoyable and we very much recommend Monsieur Marcel. Do visit the outstanding grocery store as well, we brought home some wonderful cheese and pate.

Wow, where do I begin? First of all, their location is spot on. There's just so much to do and so much culture around. If you are a French cuisine fan, aficionado or even just curious to try, THIS spot is the THE spot. The staff was aslo very welcoming and helpful. My party and I had 4, fully cooked meals all under 40mn. Every was cooked to perfection and we did not feel rushed, which was perfect since we had to catch a flight. The food was full of flavor and the price was very reasonable. This is lovely place to bring a date for a romantic evening, or to just have lunch with friends or coworkers. They definitely delivered. Highly recommended!

I LOVE Monsieur Marcel! I can't tell you how many times I've been here and have completely forgotten to write a rave review about it.

They have thousands of different imported specialty foods, olive oils, spices, snacks, chocolates, cheese, etc. - it has something for everyone. I can honestly say they have ingredients you can’t find anywhere else. And while the prices are a bit steep, it’s worthwhile.

The staff who work with the wine section are some of the most friendly and knowledgeable people who will be more than willing to help you pick up your next bottle (or two).

Oh, and they have some of the best croissants.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Where do I start with this wonderful little gem? I've probably been here at least a dozen times over the past few years. This is one of my favorite places in LA.
Tucked inside the Farmers Market, you will feel like you’re in France at a local bistro.
My always order is the Kale Salad with Pesto Chicken (Caesar au poulet). We usually either start with the oysters, the artichokes or the octopus (although last time, it was very over cooked).
I’d recommend a Saturday or Sunday brunch here. You won’t be disappointed!

Also the market is awesome. We love to consult with the deli counter attendants on which cheeses and meats to get for our world famous charcuteries which is serious business in our house. We’ve also been known to grab some great wines and house wares here too.

Had a wonderful meal with a fabulous friend. She had the onion soup and a salad, while I enjoyed the quiche with a salad. It was all delicious, including the olive appetizer. Who knew olives could be so delicious. Add a nice glass of wine and it was a perfect light summer meal. Perfect end to a great week of traveling.
