Marché® is back, bringing its fresh approach to casual dining to downtown Toronto.

“We are excited to be returning to Toronto and look forward to welcoming our many friends and loyal supporters to our brand new 570-seat restaurant and two natural bakeries,” said Oliver Altherr, CEO of Marché® International.

Eat your greens
Diners enter the European-style marketplace between two new sun-drenched patios in the atrium of Brookfield Place. Along with an inviting display of fresh-squeezed juices, you’ll find a salad buffet brimming with fresh local greens.

In fact, Marché® diners will find plenty of vegetarian options, Altherr promises, from ravioli and homemade pasta sauces to thin-crust pizza fresh from the oven. If you’d like a smaller portion size, just ask.
At each Marché® station, the chalkboard menu changes daily depending on what’s in season and what’s fresh at the market. As you stroll around the restaurant, electronic card in hand to record your purchases, the choices are endless. Watch butchers basting roasts sizzling on the rotisserie or grinding meat for juicy burgers. Have a chef grill a fresh fish of your choice, or choose seafood paella made with authentic Spanish rice. And someone’s always peeling Ontario potatoes for crisp golden Rösti and fries.

Kids love Marché®
Easy-going Marché® is also a favourite among parents with children, a rare find in downtown Toronto.
“You don’t have to stand for half an hour to get seated then wait another 20 minutes for food,” Altherr said. “In two minutes you have something to eat.”
Kids will get their own special plate and cup to fill up as they wish, for one price. Plans for the near future include a children’s play area, and there are always games and puzzles available to keep children occupied while their parents eat.

Complement your meal with an Ontario or German craft beer or a glass of local or European wine from the wine bar. Sit at the bar, or choose from a number of themed seating areas throughout the restaurant, from authentic French bistro to a traditional Swiss mountain hut, fitted with weathered wooden beams.

In the bakery, watch pastry chefs prepare fresh fruit tarts and customize your own ice cream with fresh toppings in a homemade waffle cone.
From breakfast to dinner, seven days a week, enjoy fresh, fast and healthy food at our new Marché® restaurant. We’re thrilled to be back!
