Marché 313@somerset will be mystifying Singapore with delicious things to eat from Switzerland in a breath-taking environment right in the middle of true to original Swiss chalets from the 16th century. In the modern shopping mall 313@somerset, the second Marché® Restaurant in Singapore opens.

On 9 December 2009, the second Marché® Restaurant opened its doors in Singapore in one of the largest shopping centers in Orchard Road. Covering a total floor space of 1,227 m², Marché 313@somerset offers seating for 400 guests. A total of one-hundred highly-trained and motivated staff members tend to all the wishes of their customers. Whether they find themselves in the Marché® Restaurant or in the Natural-Bakery, the dining guests can enjoy delicious goods right in the middle of true to original Swiss chalets.

Marché International already opened its first Marché® Restaurant in Singapore in 2007. Marché VivoCity came to be in the new “mega” shopping center VivoCity directly along the coast in front of Sentosa Island and has become a popular destination for outings for the whole family.

Relax in a Swiss chalet straight out of the 16th century
Enjoy your fresh meals at Marché 313@somerset in the warm and cozy atmosphere of the Swiss Alps. We even went to the trouble of shipping original Swiss chalets from the highland around Bern, Switzerland, to Singapore. “The wooden rafters of the Swiss chalets are more than 500 years old. Wooden components from a total of six antique chalets from a variety of Swiss villages and rooms were used when rebuilding the chalets in Singapore”, explains Andrew Towner, General Manager Asia Pacific. A team of Swiss carpenters was even flown into Singapore to make sure the construction job was handled correctly.

With the wide range of original Swiss decorative articles, like the chalets themselves or even pitch forks, our guests are captivated by the rustic and enchanting Alpine setting. Our smallest guests even have an indoor playground to enjoy. Painting sets, banners and balloons all make playing there lots of fun. A short visit to Marché 313@somerset will surely become not only a culinary delight, but also a relaxing brief Swiss vacation for the entire family.

Culinary delights from Swiss cuisine
Marché® Restaurants are well known for their wide range of fresh offerings. Some of the highlights in Marché® 313@somerst are the home-made ravioli, pizzas and tempura, as well as classical delights from the wood-fired open grill, Swiss hash browns, the salad and vegetable buffets and out fresh, hand-pressed fruit juices. All of the products we offer are selected according to what is fresh and currently available in the local marketplace. We then freshly prepare our meals right in front of the watchful eyes of our guests. Various coffee specialties, soft drinks and fresh, hand-pressed fruit and vegetable juices round out our extensive offering.

Fresh, healthy and fast
The strong Marché® requirements include radical freshness, home-made recipes and a gentle, last-minute preparation of seasonally-available goods right in front of our eagerly-awaiting guests – that is the original Marché® Restaurant “front-cooking” at its finest. Our own stringent demands for freshness and quality, as well as a relaxing and easy market atmosphere, satisfied the high expectations of our quality-conscious guests for a healthy diet and transparency. 

Fresh bread from our very own Natural Bakery
The Marché® Natural Bakery offers a wide variety of home-baked breads, all of which were baked according to the guidelines and practices of the traditional bakery craftsmen. The dough is always 100% natural, without the use of any supplemental additives of baking mixes. The entire baking process, starting with the mixing and rolling of the dough, including the rising of the dough, through to the actual baking of the bread, all takes place before the watchful eyes of our customers.
