This is one of my all time favorite restaurants anywhere in the world. If you have been to Toronto, you know that there are hundreds of restaurants, each one better than the last, but I still have a hard time going elsewhere than Marche Movenpick!
The atmosphere of Marche is extravagant to say the least. It is an 18,000 square foot hive of culinary and market activities. It abounds with color from the mounds of baked goods, meats fishes, pastries, fruits and other foods. Hand made tiles, flagstone floors, bright awnings and ceiling hangings, barrels, and wagons create the atmosphere of a European market.
Whether you're looking for groceries to pack for a picnic on the islands (they will make it all for you), or strolling around the neighborhood, this creative market/restaurant offers gourmet international delights that will have your mouth watering. Take a tray (or basket if you're planning to take out) and load up with freshly squeezed juices, the seafood grill cooking any fresh seafood to your order,five or six homemade soups, Italian sandwiches, Indian specialties, and entrees like meatballs paprika or salmon steaks on a bed of curry rice. Come back for a gorgeous French pastry and espresso and finish it off with a scoop or two of Marche's signature ice creams. Enjoy it all on one of three outdoor patios or in the cozy indoor eating area and you'll be hooked.
The wine cellar stocks over a million dollars in wine, so no matter what your dining choice is, you can find a wine to compliment it.
Everything is made fresh daily, the bread, pastas, sauces, salads, soups, etc. If it is not sold by the end of the day they continue to mark it down until it is sold that night. Nothing is held over. They are open from 7;30 AM till 2 AM every day. Don't miss it!
