interior of Marche in Eugene, Oregon

Featuring a French flair and a name that is the French word for market, popular Marche features a sophisticated decor and some spacious booths inside as well as courtyard dining outside.  The locally sourced menu changes with the season.  Summer might see a very French salade Nicoise made with fresh albacore tuna and aioli and perhaps a delicious “Almond Financier” prepared with a roasted fresh peach or roasted figs with thyme honey.  It always features individual pizzettas and a delicious house burger with blue cheese and pommes frites, as well as oysters and mussels, a soufflé, and steak frites.  Cocktails, wine, and beer are available along with a simple and unsweetened house watermelon soda and lavender lemonade.
