I love this place. It sits on a corner in East Nashville, across the street from an automotive store. The location doesn't do it justice, except for the fact that it is on the East Side. I think the Eastsiders do things ahead of everyone else in Nashville. Their food is always spot on. Every time I go, I cannot wait to plan my next visit. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

Good, but overrated. Apparently we have to be standing at the doors when it opens, not an hour later when normal people wake up. An extra fan (or two) in the waiting area would've been nice. There was technically a fan above us, but something is weird with the ventilation because I could barely feel the air moving. I had the steak and eggs, cooked to order. I did enjoy the perfectly done medium rare steak with the peppery sauce that went with it. I used to live in the South and I miss my grits. Marche has awesome grits! My husband was talked into a blood orange mimosa. Maybe my palate isn't sophisticated enough, but I couldn't tell the difference between a mimosa made with blood orange vs. a "regular" mimosa. I'm glad I tried it, but that's about it. I remember thinking in my head, this place came highly recommended, have I simply become a brunch snob because good brunch options are popping up all over Detroit and that's why I'm not loving it as much as I should? Nah, I think it's just overrated.

This place is light and airy. My salad was delicious as hell. I had the Greek salad with halloumi. Have you guys had halloumi? Do yourself a favor and gave some. It's one of the best effing cheeses I've ever had. BUT I hate how they serve their tea. The contraption they serve it in makes it impossible to pick up when it's hot. I had to use a cloth napkin. You think you can hold it up by that black ribbed area at he top. BUT no you can't because the jar itself is too heavy to hold by just the top. So Either you drop it or you burn yourself. I know it's trendy to serve hot beverages in glass but it's STUPID. Please stop!!!!

A sign of how good food can often be is how long the wait is. And during brunch, expect a wait. But it's well worth it. Barista menu, beverages and pastries available while you wait. The menu is a mix of sweet and savory, something to please everyone. Recommend the grits, crepes and anything that comes with local honey. Would be a regular here if we lived in East Nashville.

Arriving just before breakfast was due to end, no worries. Full breakfast is still available even at 5 minutes before the hour. Just as well, because my friend went at it like a bull at a fence. French toast, bacon, eggs, toast, hash browns and a big glass of OJ. I was a little calmer, hitting up the corn and carrot hash, topped with two lightly fried eggs (no poached, I'm afraid). Coffee was excellent, the food was excellent, the service was excellent. A really good meal. Totally would return. Very small parking lot.

came into Nashville for the Memorial Day weekend for a wedding. The wedding was only in the afternoon so my family and i had the morning to ourselves. we went into Nashville looking for a nice place to eat. The area this place is in seems kinda sketch... some might say ghetto... but i had to try this place out b/c Yelp doesn't lie! AND BOY ARE YOU ALL CORRECT. this place is wonderful. Typical Saturday Morning brunch wait times/business. They have homemade jams/honeys for you to buy.. fresh loaves of bread, and a coffee shop where you can enjoy coffee while you wait to be seated. Once we sat down we ordered two croissant/popovers with jam OMG SO GOOD! and fresh... there is nothing in this world that speaks amazing food like freshly baked bread. For our meals: The omlette, the savory crepe, and the frittata. Everything was superb. I mean really sooo fresh and delicious. If i'm ever in Nashville again i will def be back!

shrimp and grits, made with tasso ham. thats whats up. im not sure when i will be in the city of nashville again but i do know that when im there, i will go to marche and have the shrimp and grits again. so good i dont even know what else to say about my experience here but thats not to say the service was not good. at all. my waitress was very nice and very attentive. oh man, that tasso ham gave the gravy a spicy kick to it thats just perfect. wow, i got the cravings...

On a work trip to Nashville, my friends and I relied heavily on recommendations. This place came highly recommended and had great reviews and lived up to all of it. We tried a lot of brunch things - bread with spreads, fruit tartine, savory crepe, vegetable hash, omelette - and they were all delicious. Great atmosphere too!
(5)
Tricia W.

Right on. Despite a brief wait in a small crowded space, this place wins. Bread basket was a nice start to a fantastic meal. Tried the housemade sausage and croissant French toast off of my friends plate. Yum. I had the scrambled eggs and cheese grits with bacon. Yum. The Mr. had the roast beef sandwich and loved it. Great coffee too. Come prepared to wait but you will leave happy and full!

I'm very excited to say this was the chosen brunch spot for a recent road trip through Tennessee. Based on the reviews, I was expecting a good meal, but the consistency of every dish and depth of flavor really puts this place above and beyond. I don't think I've ever been anywhere that every dish delighted as much as this one. We tried the Peaches & Cream Tartine, Chilled Avocado Soup, Quiche with Squash Casserole, Green Tomato Curry, and Pecan Macaron. Everything was perfect and exactly what you would expect by the description. I don't even know what else to say about the food - just go. I can't even pick a favorite dish. I also had the blood orange mimosa and it was perfectly mixed - the right amount of champagne to juice ratio. In addition, the service was impeccable. The wait was about 45 minutes to get a table (not bad for brunch on a Sunday), but once we sat we were promptly greeted and served in a very friendly and hospitable manner. Not only that, but the waitress took it upon herself to have every dish split for us since we were sharing everything. I've not been anywhere that's done that before! I believe there is street parking if you can find it (not sure if you have to pay for that or not), but we parked in the pay lot right across the street from the restaurant and that worked well.

Walked down here from our AirBnB rental. There was a long wait - roughly 40 minutes - but we had heard great things so we agreed to it. The waiting area was stiflingly hot - I was pouring sweat and people seemed to be jockeying for space underneath the ceiling fan. I ordered the savory crepe and got a side of grits. The crepe was good, but not amazing. The parmesan grits took a bit of getting used to - the creaminess of the grits were countered by a slight sourness of the cheese. I would order it again, but it was a bit of a shock. Overall, I thought the place didn't quite live up to its hype, and looking at other brunch restaurants in the area, I think I could have had a superior meal at a slightly lower price point.

SUPER long wait for a mediocre meal. A little overpriced for what a simple Sunday brunch it was. Seemed like the staff was more concerned with turning tables than how the service quality was.

This is the worst spot ever in Nashville. What is so french about it. What is so organic about it. Just because you put fancy names on the menu makes you organic & french ? To begin with do they know what a bloody mary is ? It was bloody Gary. Cucumber infused sake ? Your serving juice to people. I swear this was the worst oatmeal of my life. It was simple oatmeal with orange jam. I swear. I can do better at home. Omelette had nothing special goat cheese n mushroom. All bland no taste nothing. Bread was terrible. It was a day old. Only thing good was coffee & french toast. Bottom line :- its a broad day light rip off. The food sucks !!! The service is terrible. Your not french nor organic. So cut the crap. I can do better breakfast at home. I challenge the chef for a throw down anytime & please stop acting like a wanna be Williamsburg attitude. You clearly have no clue about food. I would kindly invite you for a tour of williamsburg anytime to slap your palates. Peace !!!!

Came for breakfast during the week and luckily no line at all. The Shrimp and Grits entree was as good as I have ever had. I highly recommend it. Even the toast and jam was really good. Friendly service as well. I can definitely understand the high ratings.

Great French lunch place. Son loves crepes and sandwiches and salads are good Great place for brunch and best freaking coffee ever. Great for a visit Our server was great so maybe the person with a large party did not have that server . It seems like it could be iffy but our one time we were happy Close to golf so a quick stop after is worth it.

Love this local business. I was there promptly at nine this morning and there was a line. I was able to get a seat. The brunch is the best. I had the crepes and my dining companion had French toast. I tried hers. It was delicious. Mine was too. I love the savory crepes. The coffee was good and the server / owner (?) was very attentive! One of my favorite brunch spots in town.

There was a pretty long wait, but hey, it's Sunday brunch in Nashville. There's a little coffee and pastry counter which you can grab a cup of coffee from while you wait so that's nice. We were meeting friends from out of town and wanted to take them someplace memorable. And I think we did a great job there! The croissant french toast was AMAZING. Like holy-crap-how-have-I-never-had-this -before? good. I had the yogurt and granola which was also very good. Everything tasted fresh and while the meal was generously portioned, it didn't seem overly heavy. My friend said the grits were amazing and I had a bite of the chicken sausage which was also very tasty. The only person at the table who didn't get the french toast got the quiche. It looked awesome too and he said it was great. I honestly can't wait to go back to this place. It was cozy, the food was really wonderful and the service was stellar. Even during our wait, the hostess kept us updated and made sure we knew when we would be seated. I would take friends from out of town here again and I would totally eat here again just in general. I think we'll add this into our regular rotation.

My first time at Marche was last Sunday! Went kind of overboard and ordered WAY too much food but everything was fantastic. The French toast was the best and if I went back I would only order that. Other highlights: strawberry balsamic tartine, grits, blood orange mimosa. - @gluttoneats -

One of my favorite places to stop in whenever in Nashville! Their brunch never fails us, and neither does their people watching. Their lattes come in a giant bowl and their croissant French toast! Oh my! Their staff is always very warm and friendly. But overall, I think that the neighborhood and atmosphere are really what make MarchÃ© an excellent brunch destination in Nashville.

I don't understand why people rave about this place. I had lunch, and it was comfortably crowded. I'm a vegetarian, and there was just one entree on the menu that I could have, other than a salad. (Admittedly, I'm one of those vegetarians who gets cranky and angry when restaurants think that they just have to offer a salad to accommodate vegetarians.) I had the squash tart, which was ok, not great. And TINY. I got a side of grits, which was about three spoons worth. Grits are so freaking cheap, why would they give such a meager portion?!? The food was, overwhelmingly, mediocrity at its best. It reminded me of some quaint twee place one would encounter in a small town in CT, where the food is served on china that the owner inherited from her Irish grandmother, and was frequented by size two ladies who wanted to grab a bite to eat on their way to a book club. Maybe I just don't like what Chef Margot does. I went to Margot's recently, and was left cold. I hadn't been to Marche in ages, but, because people seem to love it, I tried it again. I think the bar for restaurants has been raised by all the new places that have opened up, and saying something is "artisanal" or "organic" or whatever you want to call it just doesn't cut it if what you're serving is tired and uninspired. The service was efficient, but a little on the cold side. I can overlook that, though, because they were busy and were working hard. But I can't imagine EVER going back to either Margot's or Marche when there are so many more inventive restaurants in town.

Atmosphere is French country and quaint. Food is prepared to perfection. Menu is interesting. Service is LACKLUSTER. My spouse and I ordered 4 items (coffee, croissant french toast, omelet, and bread basket), and the waitress was not able to get it right nor could she check on us to see if we were satisfied with our meal. I drank water. Fortunately, it was on the table so I did not put out the waitress. This is a bakery and we had hoped the bread basket would be a nice sampler of their wares. However, the waitress never took the time to serve it. This restaurant would have a lower score but the food is very well prepared. The chef knows how to prepare the meals perfectly. The menu goes well with those who are looking for a hip and different take on your common breakfast.

I came here for brunch. Ill start off with the customer service. Everyone was pretty friendly. They made sure our table was doing well. They were knowledgeable about their menu. The food was great. Their dessert was unbelievable. Not too heavy, not too light. Their entrees were good too. They had good flavor and good portions. The restaurant itself is small. They put groups together on big tables to save space. I thought that was a bit inconvenient. The prices were a bit steep for the quality of food. Their entrees were fairly priced. But, their starters and dessert were a bit expensive. All in all, it was a great experience. It is definitely a place that everyone should try out.

In short: Long line. Small menu. Big flavors. Amazing experience. In Archie: With a line so long it wraps around the building, you'd figure the restaurant was giving away free alcohol, hard drugs, money, and/or loose women with questionable morals. Instead, you'll find a cute place with a small menu full of inspired dishes prepared with love and presented with an artistic touch. The service here is welcoming, efficient, and excellent. And in the end, the restaurant provided one of my better brunch memories (where booze was not involved). So yeah, I remember it very well. If you're in Nashville, you should try this place out. If you live in Nashville, you should come here often. And if you're not in Nashville or a resident of Nashville, you should go check it out because it's an awesome city and well, the food at this place is worth it. And after heading here and standing in that super long line, you won't even be disappointed when you aren't given free alcohol, hard drugs, money, and/or loose women with questionable morals. Well, not totally disappointed.

It's worth the wait. Despite it being a few months since my visit, I can still taste and remember (within a wink) the delicious brunch that I had at Marche Artisan Foods. Plan for a wait - especially during the Sunday brunch time but know that at the end you will be greeted with beautiful coffee drinks, kale polenta cakes, and dishes that will leave you saying to your dining companion, "can I try yours?" Sharing is caring, right? Tucked away in an unsuspected area (aka off the beaten path from the other touristy joints), Marche boasts a lovely cafe with sweets and drinks that will help you pass by some of the waiting. The artisan product shopping section with vinegars, jams and more will also help pass another 10-15 minutes. I was sooo close to walking out with some of their fresh bread. As for the meal, the "grit cake with kale pesto and eggs on top" was by far one of the best brunches I've ever consumed. To give you a taste of other menu items - crÃ¨pes with fig, goat cheese and hazelnut and smoked salmon tartine with brioche, dill-caper cream cheese, arugula, red onion and radish. Mmm... Salivating yet? Bon apetit!

What a perfect sendoff, having brunch here with a bunch of great women. As expected, the wait on a rainy Saturday was still long-ish, but not as freakishly long as Pancake Pantry. I'm impressed by how the crew made note of what we (the one in our group making the reservation in her name) looked like, so that they can find us and call us in personally, instead of shouting her name. I had the bacon/eggs/grits combo. Had to have something Southern for my last brunch. Grits were delicious and not overly laden with cheese. And the bacon: Tons of it. I am used to getting served about 2 slices of bacon; this place gave me about 8 slices. Unheard of, at least in the places I frequent. Server offered tabasco/Worcestershire without my having to request it. My friends had paninis and French toast. I did not want to ask to try them, but they loved theirs. One friend had a mocha served French style, in a bowl. We opted not to have dessert (but they sounded good on paper). An excellent time had by all. Note: Place is loud and it was hard to hear my companions. But our enjoyment of the place more than made up for it.

My mom and sister and I decided to get up early for Sunday brunch. This place was highly recommended to us and we were very pleased with the choice. We arrived 15 minutes before they opened and a line had already formed outside the door. Get here early! We got seated right away and we were immediately asked if we wanted coffee. We scanned the menu, which features some staples and weekly specialties. We decided to order a couple croissants, a side of the delicious gruyere cheese grits and we each ordered one of the specialities. Our coffee mugs never went empty and our food was delightful. Highly recommended for Sunday brunch in Nashville...and a great way to start a day of touring the city!

If you're in Nashville, this place is a MUST. We went as a group of 10 and while we did have to wait about an hour to be seated, we were able to pass the time mimosas in hand. I was able to try a blood orange one and a pear cider one and both were delicious! The lattes and chai teas also looked really good but I was pleased with my decision. We had a VERY hard time deciding what to eat because everything on the menu looked amazing. A lot of people were ordering the strata but they ran out of it before we could order. I ended up with the steak and eggs and it was AMAZING. The steak was cooked as ordered, the red pepper sauce gave it a nice kick. It also seemed to be coated in coarse black pepper which added some great flavor. I asked for my eggs runny and they were served just as I asked! I seriously couldn't get enough of this meal. And as though the portion wasn't big enough (it was) I ordered some cheesy grits as a side which were served nice and hot! Also delicious! To share we got the croissant french toast and while it was nice, I wouldn't have wanted it for my whole meal. I can't remember what others got (except for the omelet) but everyone really liked their food. The bread basket was also ordered and it was served with butter, apple butter, nutella, honey, peanut butter...and maybe one other thing to put on it. The pieces of bread were pretty big and I think there were about 6 pieces in there. Writing this review makes me wish I could go back there soon. Don't miss out on this place if you're in Nashville even though it's not downtown.

Visited Nashville, so I had to visit Marche since it's so close. It opened at 9 on Sunday, we arrived around 8:40, no line, so we stayed in the car and parked in the lot. We got out the car at 9, and saw that the line formed on the OTHER side (the street side) and there were now 20-30 people in front of us. There was only two of us so we didn't have to wait. SERVICE: Nice and weet. AMBIENCE/DECOR: Simple southern chic FOOD: It was all pretty good, but the french toast is EVERYTHING. It's made from a croissant... can't go wrong with french toast croissant, so good! Eggs didn't have mich flavor, bacon was good (nothing out of the ordinary), grits were good.

Brian O.

This is it! The big one! Marche goes the extra mile. I've been here twice, and it's always a transcendent experience. You'll spend a little more money than you'd like, but that's okay. It will all be okay, in fact, if you get the absurdly delicious pear/ricotta/local honey dish. Just so, so good. I really recommend splitting dishes with friends here, because you don't want to miss out on any of it. Make sure to get something savory and something sweet, because they do both so well. And when they bring the desert menu out (possibly without asking you), just order something. You won't regret it. Also, if you have a long wait, get some coffee at the bar and peruse their selection of artisanal sauces, honey, and other food products. It's all great stuff!

I will be dreaming about the croissant French toast and applewood smoked bacon until I visit Nashville again! My friend and I stopped here on a Tuesday morning and the parking lot was full. We ended up finding a spot to park on the street beside it. We weren't sure what to expect since we're from out of state but we knew we wanted to try the French toast after reading the rave reviews. We were seated immediately despite how busy it was. I loved the interior of the place, you'd never guess it would be as cute as it was judging by the outside of the building. My friend and I ordered the same thing and we were beyond impressed. There's no doubt in my mind this was the best breakfast I've EVER had. The half-order plus the side was the perfect amount of food. It was definitely not cheap- $30 between the two of us- but money well spent! I'll be returning when I find myself in Nashville again.

I am a big fan of this place. They have a creative menu and great prices. They are located more towards the shadier part of east Nashville but don't let that fool You. I never had to wait to get a table and alway please with the service. I have yet to try their brunch but their dinner menus alway deliver. Highly recommend!

A friend of mine told me while I was passing through Nashville I had to go to Marche. It's a great breakfast place and was such a pleasant meal on my way to a 12-hour drive to Philly. The restaurant is filled with sunlight and a pleasant waitstaff. Naturally our waitress took our picture before we left town. I get the feeling she does that a lot, but was happy to oblige. Food was spot-on. Great price and very satisfying with nice flavor. The coffee was ridiculously good! I got a cafe au lait served in a latte bowl that I won't be forgetting and was actually worth the $5. Plus I bought some spices from the East Nashville Spice Co. in their market, and used them on an excellent chicken dish just this week. Go here!

Went for brunch and had terrible service! First, we were told the table would be ready in about 30 minutes but in reality it took over an hour. The worst part was; there was no where to sit and wait so it was very difficult to want to wait that long. Once we were finally seated it took over 15 minutes for anyone to speak to us and even longer for anyone to offer us a drink or appetizer. My close friend was not feeling the well because we had not eaten all day so I waved down a server, who ignored us almost the entire time, and asked if she could bring us anything on the menu that could come out quickly so my friend could get any food in her. After about 15 minutes they arrived with a basket of bread and different spreads that were nothing special. My friend was still not feeling well but thank god we got the bread because it took an HOUR AND 15 MINUTES to get our meal fr when we ordered. The food was nothing special after all that wait.

Great meal ... Very tasty !! The eggs were tasty but those cheese grits !!! Breads were amazing and love the fact you can get a PB&J :) French toast was savory and well done A must stop if looking for a breakfast spot near downtown

Went for the second brunch visit today, much delayed and anticipated. I am giving this visit only a four, and that is generous for this visit. Love the place, the energy, and as you wait you MUST have an almond meringue/Nutella cookie. Unbelievable. Perhaps I ordered poorly. I had the steak and eggs with roasted potatoes. Steak was good, potatoes delish, but eggs were very, very bleh. Wifey had the crepes of the day. Hers was only lukewarm. Should have sent it back, but she is not as vociferous as I would be. Previously, the quiche was outstanding, but the one in our party of four that ordered eggs was a tad disappointed. I would say stay away from eggs (quiche being the exception). Still a great spot, but the magic was missing this time.

Smoked salmon brioche on fat sweet toast, Crepes with chicken and chickpeas, omelettes and scones - we stumbled on Marche and were delighted! OK, I have to admit I do scoff at any restaurant with the word artisan in the name, but love the vibe when I get there. There is a little corner dedicated to hand-crafted chocolates, soaps, and foods. We sat down at a big table and happened share it with a Nashville native - great conversation about House elections and home renovations. Oh and the coffee is served with fresh and thick cream. Entrees run about $10-15. Yum!

Great breakfast! It's one of the few breakfasts where I don't feel like I'm going to die after I eat there. Cocktails were mediocre but the food absolutely made up for it.

Not my style The food was good (eggs and bacon) but this is too fancy a breakfast spot for me - I much prefer a diner where food is less an art. This spot is great to take people who consider themselves foodies but nothing about my initial visit beckons for me to return.

Lovely little rustic breakfast spot near Five Points with very tasty food. Tips: - Come early on the weekend as there can be a long line. - They have farm table seating if you don't mind sitting with other people. Which is my preference actually! - Do order the croissant French toast - it is heaven - If you want something savory try the artichoke and spinach strata with fried egg and green salad. It was amazing! - Walk your breakfast off afterward by strolling a few blocks down to the shops on Fatherland St.

To the extent one can do bacon, eggs and grits better than another, this place does it very well. Everything is fresh, and my plate of eggs, bacon, and grits was delicious. The coffee is also very good. The atmosphere is a little loud but not unpleasant. Bacon, eggs, cheese grits, and coffee came out to $12.56. I'd eat here again for sure.

The line out the door on the weekends is there for a reason, I got there 15 minutes before opening on a Sunday and still had to take my place in line. Overall they have great coffee, pastries, and menu options. I love the decor inside and the giant windows make it feel so inviting. This is a good place for a breakfast or brunch for an occasion. Marche really shines with their sweeter options (pastries, croissant french toast, etc) but I haven't been wildly impressed by their savory choices. Don't get me wrong, I still clean my plate just fine but it isn't my first choice for brunch in Nashville for this reason. If hollandaise took a permanent residency on their menu I might change my mind.

We stopped into Marche on a recent visit to Nashville. We heard about this restaurant from two East Nashville business owners with good foodie taste, so we decided to give them a try. This place was an awesome spot to stop for a quick bite to eat and is conveniently located to many popular East Nashville businesses and downtown. I enjoyed the lentil salad, while my guests enjoyed the leek tart and turnover. We shared the bread basket which is accompanied by peanut butter, whipped butter, Nutella, honey, and jam. I thought this was fun, but the bread didn't win me over. In fact, I questioned (to myself) whether or not the bread was fresh. It was just a bit too dry and crumbly. Aside from the bread, all of the other food was quite delicious and fresh. I'd definitely check this place out again.

For the first time in all the visits I've had, my meal was actually hot! It was so hot, I had to blow on my eggs. Excellent! Had I had my paintbrush... I would have painted a smile on my waitresses face. She had a scowl the whole morning. I was afraid to ask her for more coffee.

Delicious brunch! The croissant French toast was divine-and I don't even like French toast! The red potatoes were also some of the best I've ever had. The atmosphere is so light and airy. Definitely worth a visit!

I read about Marche on numerous Nashville food guides, so I was excited to try their breakfast with my family. I'm still not quite sure how to pronounce the title (Mar-shay? Marsh?) but we thoroughly enjoyed our experience! We attempted to go again before we left but unfortunately arrived a little earlier than opening time. The morning we dined the restaurant (A Thursday around 9 AM) was busy but not crowded. The atmosphere is rustic and pleasant, an evolved "shabby chic," if you will (I hate the term shabby chic, but it was a well done version of that style). We were seated immediately at a larger table; another party joined us later, European style. It didn't bother us. Our waitress was friendly and quick. The food was fresh and flavorful. Our favorite items: - croissant French toast- I ordered a half size, it was a perfect portion for me. I would've liked a small piece of fruit on the side, but it was a really tasty dish. - omelette- my mom kept asking us to try it. She loved it. Other items: -croissant with jam -salad greens -a salad that was a special for Good Friday -coffee and organic tea Everything we ordered was fresh, and there wasn't one dish we disliked. Marche is a great breakfast spot in East Nashville.

My DF & I went to Nashville during the coldest weekend of the entire year. He was so excited to take me to his old 'stomping grounds' of his previous city and Marche was on his list for breakfast. We sat in the freezing restaurant, that had space heaters placed throughout try and elevate the temperature, but served us water that the was full of ice. We ordered the crepes and biscuits & gravy; and the crepes tasted like pizza and the biscuits was more like a chicken pot pie. We left disappointed and still hungry.

Why haven't I reviewed Marche already?! Maybe because they're too wonderful for words. Marche offers the best brunch in town, hands down. Everything from the bacon and eggs to the grits (and I don't even like grits!) and croissants (to die for) are simply top notch. I think Marche is unique and such a beloved place in Nashville because their menu is reasonably priced at all times (compare their dinner menu to some "highbrow" places in town). They offer the best quality in food and make you feel fancy without breaking the bank. I can get behind that.

After we had waited so long to be seated, we tried to get something interesting in the menu but it had a few choices. These are what we got: Parmesan grits, egg and bacon; and steak. The steak was alright. The egg was dry and tough. The bacon was chewy. And the Parmesan grits was bland. The service was not so attentive maybe because it was crowded at 1:30 PM. We ordered sweet tea no ice. Both of our drinks had ice. One bright side was the water, it tasted like drinking water, not tap water (no fluoride/chloride taste).

Been wanting to try this place since my last trip to Nashville. We went here on a Saturday morning around 10 am and it looked pretty busy. The parking lot is very small. If you're not lucky enough to get a space in the parking lot, your best bet is to park on the street or park in the "pay" parking across the street for $3. The Rock n' Roll marathon was going on that weekend and a lot of streets were blocked. We had an adventure trying to get to the restaurant. Even though it was crowded we only had about a 15 minute wait for our table. Not too bad plus we ordered cafe mochas in the little "cafe" area while we waited. Once seated, we already knew what we wanted to order because we looked at the menu while we waited. To start we ordered Blood orange mimosas. They were very good and tasty! For plates I had an half-order of croissant french toast, side of bacon and parmesan cheese grits. The hubby ordered Steak and eggs. Everything I ate was good, but nothing to rave about. The parmesan cheese grits were a little dry and lacked flavor. The croissant french toast also didn't taste as good as I thought it would. My hubby ordered his steak medium and it was cooked well done! The steak was so tough and they drizzled a sauce on top of it which tasted very similar to A1 steak sauce. Overall this place is good, but I wasn't too impressed. Maybe my expectations were too high. The service is decent, the atmosphere has a classy vibe,and this place seems to be very popular with hipsters. I say try if you must, but if I lived in Nashville I would not visit it on a regular basis.

Great place for breakfast & brunch! Firstly, be prepared for a wait at brunch. It's not a huge place, but there is a separate counter for getting coffee, pastries, bread, & baked goods to-go. There is also a nice selection of products to buy - shopping bags, coffee, food, made-in-Nashville items, etc. Atmosphere: Bustling, but nice! I love the rustic simple decor & design. Service: Good. Very attentive & prompt. Food: Super! (Portions are big too, so we usually share.) Their croissant french toast is fantastic! Steak & eggs - tasty. Great breakfast potatoes. Only been a couple times, but everything I've had there has been delicious. Definitely a go-to for breakfast & brunch for us! I hope to come back for dinner sometime. :)

I want to alert my fella helpers what a great place this is. We got there 15 minutes before open and were 4th in line, so plan accordingly. The inside is absolutely charming and welcoming. The people seem to be required to have the best personalities on the planet. Very helpful and kind. The coffee is brewed just right. Cappuccinos are perfect. Everything here is excellent. No shortcuts. Pastries fresh and done right. Crust on my quiche was flaky and buttery , as it should be. Appetizer of peach tartine is a must. Bacon so good!! People- this places resets the 5 star standard. Chase, thank you for your spot on advice and super friendly care of us.

With all the great reviews on Yelp I was expecting a lot more. We came here for brunch on Saturday and the place was pretty packed. I think we waited at least 20 minutes before being seated. The menu looked pretty simple to me and nothing really stood out. Eventually I just ordered the steak and eggs and a cup of coffee. My sister ordered oatmeal and a half order of the croissant French toast. When my meal came I was very disappointed at the size of the "steak" which was three very small pieces. For a price tag of $12 you'd think I'd at least get 2oz of steak. I tasted the french toast my sister ordered and it was good. At least the coffee I ordered was nice and strong. Don't order the steak and eggs if you decide to come here. Not worth the time and money.

Best roasted potatoes I've had. Serves Drew's Brews coffee which is seriously amazing coffee. Wait times can get pretty crazy and it is LOUD in there. Will continue to be regulars despite the loudness and wait times. It's delicious.

I have been to Marche about dozen times and intend on returning over and over again. This place has everything going for it: the food is delish, the service is prompt, and the ambiance is quite nice. No matter what I order there, I am never disappointed - and for the right price. They also make a very good cappuccino. And their desserts are to die for. If you're looking for a relaxed, reasonably price eatery with delish food, this is the place for you.

40 minutes wait for a table on a Sunday morning? That's not me! Why I did it? ...because everything was looking so great! Waiting was a wise decision. I liked literally everything of this place: The latte: perfectly foamy and made of a good real coffee. Croissants: crispy, fresh, and delicious. They are not perfect as the one you would get in France, but they are good :) The brunch was almost a perfection of taste, and that's why I love France cousin so much. Especially in the States, French cousin has been one of the few that preserved its authentic "approach" to food, that in this case it is based on: complexity but with balance, and in this place they got it right. Wait staff is just perfect. Nice, polite, very descriptive of their menu, and fast. A must go in town!

Cathy S.

Whether breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner, Marche never fails to bring great food and professional service. Love their Sunday brunch, but be forewarned, arrive early. Before opening the hungry customers start lining up. The atmosphere is lovely and relaxed. The coffee, the pastries, the menu choices, all divine. Try a chocolate croissant. You will want to take one (or two or a dozen) home. No matter the meal, the food at Marche will not disappoint. For the bargain diners, brunch for two won't break the bank. But shhh...don't tell. Marche is our Nashville hidden treasure!

When we packed up and moved to Phoenix from Nashville I forget to put Marche in a suitcase. Fortunately we were back in Nashville for a visit and made Marche a top spot on our list of things to do. It is hard to say when is the best time to visit Marche. If you go for brunch on the weekend be prepared to wait. And you may share a table and make some new friends. Hubby always orders steak and eggs even when he has no intention to do so. He can't help himself. I tend to change up my order each visit. Yesterday I had the croissant French toast. Warning: order the half order or share with a friend. Other brunch options I love include oatmeal with nuts and fruit, egg salad (the best ever), eggs and applewood bacon, and hot chocolate. While we did enjoy brunch occasionally, our favorite meals were on week nights. Their menu changes with the season and over the course of several years it is pretty hard to pick a favorite. Three things stand out in our collective memories: mussels in the most flavorful broth, watermelon rind jelly with assorted cheeses and breads, and the best rabbit with root vegetables this gal had ever tasted. The only thing I have left to say is: Marche please open a location in Phoenix. We need you here!

Good brunch spot for a small group. There were four of us at 1pm on a holiday Friday and had about a 45 minute wait--not terrible. We all had drinks while we waited for the table, and I was told the sangria was good. I was still in recovery, so I had a cafe au lait, which was really good but came in a bowl without a handle-- still can't figure that out. It seems the menu changes regularly with what is fresh and available, which I appreciate. My meal was good (cassoulet over toast with poached eggs and a side of bacon), but unremarkable, and the table seemed to agree. ...They also had a few long tables that each only had a small party sitting at each with plenty of open seats... the atmosphere would lend itself to seating multiple parties at these tables, and had they done so there wouldn't have been a wait at all.

Emily C.

The wait is long, but well worth it (40-45 minutes on weekends around 10AM). They serve the food out to you fast and I've ordered the eggs, bacon, and grits both times. The grits were so creamy, and rich that I loved it. With the bit of cheese that they used, the flavor was perfect. For dessert, creme brulee was delicious. The other time, I had the french toast croissant which was great as well - fluffy, sweet, and exactly what it sounds like (french toast made from croissant). I would avoid the steak and eggs, and their bread platter (which for us didn't have any interesting cheeses). The grapefruit brulee was mediocre and if we had to order it again, I would just go with the creme brulee.

We've only been here once recently but will definitely be back. Being new to Nashville, of the breakfast places we've tried-this one so far has been memorable and made us want to try other things on their menu. We had an omelette, a frittata, and grits which were served with a small salad garnish. We also had a side of their french toast croissants (which we thoroughly enjoyed and I don't like french toast much). Our bill came to approximately $40. He liked the ambiance and said it felt like some of the cafes in Europe with the furniture selection, cement floors, large windows, and simple draping. The customers ranged from late 20's to early 50's it seemed and most were dressed to fit the scene, trendy and hip.

Great food. I've never had a bad meal here! Tip: they only have a beer and wine license, so DON'T order the Bloody Mary as it's made with Sake.

There have only been a few instances in my life when I have tried a place for the first time, then the very next day, came back and ordered the same exact thing. This happened at Marche. Its a cute little place in Five Points, pretty atmosphere, lots of natural sunlight, and for the most part always busy, especially around brunch time on weekends. But what awesome brunch place isn't? Both times I waited around 30-40 minutes to be sat, which I could care less about, like I always say, quality food is worth the wait. They have a nice little food boutique-like set up to browse through as well. The service was fantastic on both occasions, super friendly and prompt once we were seated. And they actually recognized me on the second visit and said something. They have a nice one page menu, not overly complex like a lot of places, but still plenty of options to suit whatever palate you may have. I always enjoy trying things that sound odd on paper. So naturally I went with the Savory Crepe with goat cheese served over a bed of creamed corn, and holy smokes, WOW. That combo of flavors literally blew my mind. Everything from the combination to the presentation was on point. The next trip I ordered the same thing along with one of their fresh pastries, and it too was extremely satisfying. I will definitely frequent this place. So overall, if you are in the mood for a fresh artisanal brunch, and don't mind waiting a few minutes, go check this place out!

Pretty much a 5, but I don't like giving 5s unless I've been multiple times & it is always perfect. Haha. Everything we ordered was amazing. Chocolate croissant, croissant French toast, bacon, my over medium egg was cooked perfectly (which is rare), potatoes, cappuccino, cortado & coffee!! I have been on a mission to find the best French toast & this is definitely at the very TOP!! Our server was very patient, kind & helpful.

Anna V.

Tried this place for Sunday Brunch with 4 others. It was pretty busy. I ordered Steak and Eggs, medium rare, and they came well done. I didn't send them back however. I was pretty hungry considering it was a late lunch and a bit of a wait. Despite this, the steak had good flavor. My friend had the Croissant French toast which was pretty amazing. Service was average . Over-all a good experience.

I love a place that's worth the hype. You know the ones... when you arrive in a new city and seek out one of the highest rated places on Yelp - then you try it - and fall in love like everybody else. Yeah, that's not MarchÃ©. We came on a Saturday for brunch and had a 45 minute wait. No big deal, right? I mean, it's one of (if not the) highest rated brunches in Nashville. While we waited for our table, we ordered some chai lattes. They came out in a giant bowl rather than a cup. I don't know if this was supposed to be cute or something, but I thought it was just plain weird for the sake of being weird. Totally unnecessary. To top it off, the latte wasn't all that great. Once we were seated, our server was very nice. She was friendly and chatty, and I really liked her. But once we got our food, she disappeared! I have no clue what happened, but she never came back to see us until we had to flag her down for our checks. The food was just okay. Each of us got something different, but the sentiment was the same for all of us. I had the eggs, grits, and sausage. The eggs were fine, but not very flavorful... I can't make much better scrambled eggs. The grits were adequate, but nothing extraordinary. And the sausage was dry and bland. I honestly don't understand this place. It's very cute and the people are friendly, but I can't get behind waiting 45 minutes for mediocre food and slow ass service. Next time I'm in Nashville, I'll be skipping MarchÃ©... with their fussy accent mark.

Waited over an hour for a table. Poor table management as many tables were open and they weren't clearing them fast enough. A lot of hype for good, not great food given how long we waited. Better meal and service at the Garden Brunch Cafe...a must in Nashville!

Yum! I was pleasantly surprised with this cute place. Marche Artisan Foods is a European style cafe and marketplace. They offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner items with simple, seasonal ingredients. They also offer house made pastries, coffee & espresso bar, fresh fish, meats, cheeses, and gourmet grocery items for sale. We came here for brunch on Saturday. I had the Lamb Shepherd's Pie with a Green Salad - it was slightly game-y, but it was still very tender and delicious with the savory sauce with peas, with the nice mashed potatoes on top, and a side of fresh arugula salad with a light vinaigrette dressing. My sister had the Risotto Cake with Kale Pesto and Fried Eggs - this was absolutely divine! Very light and healthy, the risotto cake itself had a nice crispy exterior, and the kale pesto was not overpowering but complemented the cake very well. Service was friendly and there seemed to be a lot of people dining in. There is a small lot for your car, but be on the lookout for those who are zooming off of Main St. :D +Risotto Cake with Kale Pesto and Fried Eggs - YUM! +small lot for your car

I went here with 3 other people for brunch on a Saturday. We got here around 1 and had a 40 minute wait. It's nice that it's by 5 Points and there were plenty of cute boutiques and antique stores to occupy our time while we waited. My friend and I had Grapefruit Mimosa's: Good! The boys had Cucumber Sake Bloody Mary's: Ehhh... They sounded better than they were. A morning hangover Bloody needs liquor (which this place doesn't have) The food was on point.. warm and fresh. Everyone enjoyed their meals. I had the buffalo cucumber melt (I'm basic...what can I say) and it was delicious. Definitely recommend to any veggie friends. The service was fine. Nothing outstanding but nothing wrong either.

Bianca B.

I really don't get how this place is ranked so high on Yelp. We waited more than 45 minutes for this, assuming hundreds of Yelpers couldn't be wrong. But alas, we were proven wrong... ^Decor Cute, eclectic touches. There's a little area inside you can browse while waiting endlessly for meh food. ^Drinks Bloody Mary's were great! I asked for extra heat, but I didn't really taste it. Either way, it hit the spot so nice I asked for it twice. Before we were seated, got a couple of chai teas that were so-so. ^Food Ok, this is where most of my disappointment lies. Eggs were bland, sausage was overcooked. And this was the observation of my entire group: food is just so-so. How does one mess up eggs? At that price, I expect better and some veggies. ^Service Started off great, hostess was super nice. Waitress was pleasant, then disappeared after bringing our food. It wasn't crowded, so maybe she didn't care for us because we weren't hipsters? Not saying that to be snarky, but that was the perception I got.

Ann L.

Pros: * My friends and I loved this place because of the delicious food, beverages and comfortable and airy ambiance. * Amazing iced latte and steak & eggs. Wish they served more than just 3 small pieces of steak but still delicious. Tips: * MarchÃ© Artisan Foods changes the menu periodically so don't be upset if you don't see Shrimp Grits on the menu * Make sure to come here early because it's a very popular place. When we arrived around 10 AM on a Saturday we waited about 10-15 minutes, then around 12-1PM the lines were insane.

Needed my afternoon coffee fix so I decided on having a little something to go with it. Today I decided to be bad and go for the croissant bread pudding - today's variation happend to be chocolate almond with a vanilla crÃ¨me anglaise...how can you go wrong with that! Coffee here is Drew's Brews, a local favorite they use the French roast here. The bread pudding is moist but firm with lots of vanilla bean in the crÃ¨me anglaise. ...yumm! (Good thing I skipped lunch) This place is always a good choice.

One of the many "gems" here in East Nashville! If you haven't been here for brunch, shame on you...Go, go now. Chef Margot uses only the freshest seasonal ingredients and it shows! Each dish is beautifully simple without being pretentious, just the way I like it! A BIG thank you to the folks at MarchÃ© for "keeping it real and local"!

Went here for a Sunday brunch with the girls while visiting Nashville. We showed up around 11 and only had to about 15 minutes for the table. It is a very bright and airy restaurant. DÃ©cor is mismatched wood tables and iron chairs. It felt very cool, casual, and comfortable while feeling slightly upscale. Every table was scattered with mimosas and smiling face. (make sure to check out their mimosa list, it includes interesting options like pear or pomegranate). The service was very friendly just a bit slow, but that was noticed everywhere in Nashville (ways of the South?). The food was in the top five brunches I have ever had. I ordered a bloody mary to start (of which they made extra spicy per request) and then ordered half of the croissant French toast (you heard me...CROISSANT french toast), a side of extra crispy bacon (done to perfection), and a side of their roasted red potatoes and homemade ketchup. The French toast was truly unique and the half order was more than enough. I wish I could find this back home in California. Oh also, we found out we missed Robert Downey Jr and Jeremy Renner brunching with their families by an hour. If RDJ loves it, you know it MUST be good. 24.media.tumblr.com/c8abâ€¦ Check it out if you can.

Favorite brunch haunt in all of Nashville. If it's on the menu (options change seasonally!), you must get the grapefruit brulee. Unreal. Mimosas are fabulous. Great coffee options, I've honestly never had a meal that wasn't superb. Service is usually pretty great--although the wait can be long if you go at a peak time. Parking across the street in a metered lot, however the pay stand is typically broken.

This place is so great. Food is exceptional, coffee is good, atmosphere is comfortable. Come here! It's where locals go for delicious breakfast. Tip: don't dress like a scrub. This is in a hip part of town and people tend to look like they fit in.

I was super excited to try MarchÃ© as I've been wanting to for a while. I was a little disappointed with the slow service and the menu as there were not a lot of choices, but what I ended up getting (the omelette with Brie and asparagus) was delicious! Also tried the fruit tartine and it was legendary!

The food is nothing to write home about, but it was pretty tasty. I had an omelet (goat cheese and spinach) with pork sausage and the croissant french toast (it's not as delicious as it sounds). Everything was solid, but I found the customer service here to be disappointing...our plates at on the counter waiting to be delivered for about 10 minutes before they were brought over--I literally was standing up about to go pick them up myself when our server got to them...and this is after we waited for 1 hour to be seated. #notcool. Also...they don't really mention this anywhere, but seating is communal, so you might be at a table with a bunch of strangers...I am not really into this so I think it also took away from the experience for me.

I love Marche, but am unable to come here very often because A. it is on the East side and B. it is SO busy on the weekends, especially during brunch when I really want to eat here. But my first experience YEARS ago left such a good impression, I had to come back. If anyone watches Portlandia, this would be a place to wait in BrunchTown down the street for a chance at a table! I came back to try Marche during the week at lunch to avoid a crowd, and it was perfect timing! We snagged a table right away and started with a delicious latte and coffee. It was perfect. I love the space and the constantly changing menu. We had a very tough time deciding what to order, but decided to split the apple and brie appetizer on toast with honey drizzled on top. It was sweet but not too rich, and we loved it! We also shared the savory pumpkin tart and open faced braised pork sandwich. Both were exceptional! My friend also ordered the croissant French toast (full order) and we were quite stuffed by the time we had eaten. The portions were large, and I'd definitely recommend splitting orders and you definitely do not each need an appetizer. But, we couldn't decide and were rolled out of there once we had eaten :) I love Marche and am sad I can't visit more often! Maybe I need to get up earlier on the weekends....

If I want to impress an out of town business guest for breakfast or lunch -- Marche. If I want to go on a brunch date with my wife-- Marche. If I want to eat delicious food with three picky toddlers -- Marche. Splurges-- the hot chocolate, the orange juice, the local bacon, the croissant French toast (yes, with real maple syrup!)..... Live the steak and eggs, and their omelette a and creeps are perfectly done. Their wait staff is kind, careful, prompt, and just all around perfect. I am a picky eater, allergic to way too any things, and I don't like eating out for things I can cook better at home. However, I am never regretful of spending money at Marche'.

Bridget H.

What I liked: 1. Delicious, creative, tasty menu! 2. Great variety- The menu changes with the seasons and fresh, available ingredients. 3. Service - The line can get long, but the hostesses do a great job of managing expectations. What I didn't like: 1. The long weekend wait - though worth it if you stomach (figuratively) 45 mins -1hour+ during prime brunch time 2. No room to wait - While you can grab a coffee or Mimosa at the bar, most of your wait will be standing room only. The Verdict- Worth the wait, bring the paper, grab a coffee, make some friends and get ready for a fantastic brunch.

A delicious meal and reasonably priced for the quality. I came here for dinner on a Weds night and I was shocked at how empty it was. The waitress said they're known for their lunch and brunch. My dinner was amazing and I really don't understand why it wasn't busier. They have a nice drink selection, a simple but varied menu, and the ambiance is very bright and clean with a little rustic feel. The service (Ashley) was also wonderful. I will definitely be back next time I'm in town.

Since I arrived in East Nashville in January 2015, I've been coming here once or twice a month, and the food consistently is delicious. I like to come in afternoon and skip the wait, however that sometimes means some dishes are sold out. You really can't go wrong here. And the waitstaff is generally very friendly and helpful.

Aimee K.

I recently had brunch here while visiting Nashville, and left full and happy! We walked in around 10:30am and there was only a ten minute wait. I loved that you could just walk over to the bar and order a mimosa while you waited, and we might have picked up a few pastries since they were sitting there looking delicious. I will say that I wasn't a fan of the Bloody Mary... it was really watery and lacked flavor. Definitely go with a mimosa. The atmosphere here is pretty cool. I wasn't sure what to expect as we were driving through the neighborhood, but it's buzzing with happy diners and had the perfect noise level. I loved the casual vibe, too. My food was damn near perfection. The omelette du jour was filled with a salty and sweet combo of sweet corn, jalapeÃ±o, goat cheese, and cilantro, and I seriously couldn't believe how good it was. The cheese grits I ordered on the side were the perfect compliment, and those alone are five-star worthy. I was such a happy girl after this brunch. Pair all of the above with a strong cup of coffee, and you've got the foundation for an awesome Saturday. Thanks for starting our day of shopping off right, Marche!

Nashville has come a long way in the past few years when it comes to good food and fun restaurants. Marche is one of those bright spots, in my book. The interior is bright and cheery, and the service was quick and friendly on our recent visit. Everything our party of 4 had, tasted great. And, which is a big deal to me, their ingredients are mostly organic. So bonus points for that. Marche does not offer a huge menu, more"cafe"-like, but they do have different menus for breakfast/lunch/dinner and brunch. Pretty good Bloody-Marys, too. The small bakery part off to the side is offering some amazing bread, tarts, and cakes, as well as a number of other products (chocolate, honey, jelly, flours and baking mixes, from what I remember). We'll be back.

Wonderful!! Variety of choices is more than adequate & each member of our party was content with the entrees chosen. Fresh & unique foods. Prices are inexpensive, given the quality. Worth the wait. Tried their mimosas, mulled wine, lattes & coffee - all were exceptionally good. Only downside was the high hipster count of clientele!

This place was super cute, and right in five point. I had the mushroom quiche which was just ok, my side of potatoes were delicious though! My friend had the crepes which she loved, and a croissant ( that i immediately regretted not order after tasting hers). Lots of coffee options and brunch drinks. The brunch menu was pretty small, so that could be hit or miss in the future. Unless you just order a croissant, just order the croissant.

The grapefruit brulee was amazing, as was the fruit tartine. We split biscuits and gravy for the table which was a great call because it's heavy, but delicious. Great place!!

the spinach (or was it Kale) tart and side of (REAL)bacon were simply divine. Great flavors going on. Love the idea of "Friday Brunch" that they presented. Start the weekend early here. Coffee served in REAL diner style cups was delicious. Wonderful service and atmosphere. I took home leftovers and had a nice nosh the next day. Parking was a challenge but up the block is free street parking.

i went back a second time because consistency is important and was disappointed. this is just overpriced dull food and salt and pepper wont help. the line and the service dont really give the proper impression either. this place is for people that dont get out much obviously. nothing special for your money thats for sure. for some reason i want to compare this place to waffle house. maybe because the flavor is about the same. my review is probably going to mysteriously move out of the top position now. i will say the grits was the only part i liked. eggs were tough both times.

MarchÃ© Artisan is why I love Yelp. Never would have found this place on our own. And my life would have been emptier because of it. Everything we had was fantastic! Egg sandwich - amazing! French Toast - perfect! CrÃ©pes - delicious! Eat here!

Bailey M.

I adore everything about this restaurant. Normally I would not rate 5 stars for a place that tends to be so crowded that the noise level gets too high or the wait is an hour. But here? It's worth it. The food is divine and the restaurant is simply gorgeous with an awesome view.

My husband, 2 year old, and I have been going to Marche for a long time. The waitresses are wonderful and truly nice. The food always feels like fine dining and eats like home-cooking. We love this place and will grow old having many meals there.

Robert A.

With all the great reviews we expected so much more. The food was decent- but nothing to write home about. There were not many gluten free options. The menu on yelp was not the current menu so I was a little disappointed in that as well. It was good but we definitely don't feel compelled to go back.

I applaud Nashville for getting a European-type diner, but I had some issues with Marche. Our waiter was less than helpful and not so friendly. He was also absent for extended times, leaving me looking longingly at my water glass hoping it to magically fill itself. They brought the main courses while we were still eating our salads. Basic, basic mistake. Pace yourself better, Marche and don't rush the customer for your error. They don't have curtains on the western-facing windows in the dining room. You know, that side that the sun sets on EVERY night. My meal started with me being blinded for a good 20 minutes until the sun set. GET CURTAINS ON THE SIDE WITH ALL THE SUN!! However, the dinner was delightful and came with unexpected combinations. Point. The dessert selection was a lot of fun (though overpriced), but still it was delicious, so POINT. And I am going to assume that Marche is new so they will eventually work out their pricing, pace and lack of curtains, so a POINT for the newbie to grow on. Come on Marche, you are not that good, at least, not yet. You have many bits in line - you are definitely on your way, but don't get complacent yet. One day, you'll be at the top of the pack. Go, Marche, go!!

Wow.....where do I even start. Marche's has to be my new favorite breakfast spot in town! My girlfriend and I met some friends there for brunch this morning, and pigged out. Don't judge, you'll pig out too! The first and only warning is don't go here so hungry you might consider gnawing you own arm off. The reason I say this is because you are going to have to wait for a table. We were told that it was going to be 40 minutes. Well, that 40 minutes, turned into an hour and twenty minutes. But, it was well worth the wait. We both started off with a latte and we shared the bread basket. The latte was served in a bowl. Yep, you read that right, a bowl. Like something you would eat your morning cereal out of. I thought for a minute they might have just run out of cups, but according to our friends, this is standard practice. The bread basket came with about six slices of various breads, and a plethora of toppings (Nutella, peanut butter, jam, butter, and honey). For our mains, I ordered the egg hash and she ordered a plate of eggs, grits and the pb&j as a side (ill come back to that later). The egg hash was awesome! It was scrambled eggs, potatoes, capers, smoked salmon topped with a creamy dill sauce. If I could, I would go back right now and eat it again. So, the reason my girlfriend got a pb&j with her breakfast, is that it usually comes with bacon. And since she doesn't eat bacon, let the gasping begin, she opted for the childhood favorite. The grits that she got, may have been the best grits I've had in awhile. The eating doesn't stop there. We decided to finish the meal off by splitting a half order of the croissant French toast! Oh yeah, you know that sounds freakin awesome! Well, it was. I'm not sure how much more detail I can go into, to explain to you how delicious this place is. Why don't you just head over to the east side and try it for yourself.

We arrived around 9:30am on a Friday morning and only a few tables were occupied. My best friend and I were celebrating our belated birthdays so we got the day kicked off great with Cucumber Sake Bloody Marys. Hands down THE BEST Bloody I ever had. Spicy and delicious. We started off with the apples and brie. It was good but it was the least remarkable thing we ordered that day. We shared the Croissant French Toast and the Pork Tartine. Both were excellent. The interior is very charming and the service is great. Service was perfectly paced. Such a great find or breakfast/brunch.

It's been a few months since I've been to Marche', so I won't talk to the exact food we ate, but my wife and I consider this one of the finest restaurants we know in our fair city. We have only had lunches or brunches here It would be inconvenient for us to bring all 5 of our kids here, so we feel limited in coming in that respect, but the food is outstanding and we salivate when we drive anywhere near the place. In fact, we have to keep towels in the car when we drive through East Nashville. Thankfully, our van windows are tinted so people can't watch us overreact.

Great casual brunch spot in Nashville. We started with the special- apples and Bree on cinnamon raisin bread with a balsamic reduction- omg out of this world. We then had the special omelet- ham, cheddar and caramelized onion. Not as outstanding as the apples and Bree, but pretty solid as well. Not too busy. Friendly staff. I'd go back.

We had an okay meal here. I ordered a pumpkin latte to start which was huge and very tasty. I ordered the omelette for brunch which was fine - but nothing special. In my opinion there was way too much egg and not enough filling. I did add a slice of bacon for $1. That's right one slice = $1. Hmm. I ordered the polenta on the side and it was delicious! I'm not sure it was $3 delicious, but it was pretty good. All in all I am in no rush to go back. If I'm going to make the trek to East Nashville for brunch I'm going to Mad Donna's.

If you asked me to dream a restaurant, I could not imagine anything better than Marche. If I died and went to restaurant heaven, it WOULD be Marche! I LOVE food. All kinds of food. New flavors, clever creations, the old standards. I'm willing to try almost anything. Marche delievers time after time. The atmosphere is wonderful. I would like to imagine my dream home to be just an quaint with the charming, french countryside feel and accents. Friends and I have had to share a table with another small party from time to time, but it has never been a problem. The food is a la the French tradition, but the rotating menu offers something for everyone. They'll do the best burger and potato salad you've ever had, as well as, a fabulous rissotto, succulent bistro steak, & heavenly, buttery, croissant french toast with applewood smoked bacon on the same menu. Did I mention I usually hit up this place for brunch on Saturday afternoon? I should also mention so does the rest of Nashville so expect to wait 20 - 30 minutes for a table if you're going during high traffic hours. The desserts don't disappoint either. I'm talking the kind of sweets that make your eyes roll to the back of your head with first bite. You never dreamed ice cream could be this good. Or blueberry lemon tarts...or bread pudding...or creme brulee. This menu also rotates seasonally. They offer many different cafe favorites such as biscotti and cookies. The coffee ain't bad either;) For those looking for the authentic French experience, they offer many freshly baked breads, bread baskets, and jams. You many also buy many of these products pre-packaged alongside other novelty gifts with European flaire. Do yourself and favor and try it out. The final thing that makes this my dream place? The prices!! Just when you thought I couldn't say one more good thing about this place, I have to add, it's so affordable! Most entrees are around $10 or less. It just doesn't seem possible to offer food this good with fresh, local ingredients for a price like that, but it's true.

Mmmmmmmmmmm! I'm sure you've heard all the raves, but, have you made it over to the East side to check it out? After countless orders of french toast, crepes, quiche, mimosas, Benton's bacon, and the like in our lovely town (and still a few places on my list yet to try), my consistent go-to and wearing the crown as my #1 fav brunch spot goes to Marche Artisan Foods. This super cute cafe of sorts has all the elements of providing a fabulous morning-time (ahem, or afternoon) meal. I love the casual European bistro-style atmosphere, along with their AMAZING pastries (chocolate croissant // almond croissant // or the bread basket, served with an assortment of yummy spreads), and the best brewed coffee in town (no lie). Some additional menu items not to miss are: The wonderful assortment of brunch bevs including blood-orange mimosas The croissant french toast coupled with a side of perfectly cooked applewood-smoked bacon which is absolutely my favorite in town Any of their always-evolving crepes, all of which will change your life for the better I reinforce the success in choices of my favorite fab restaurants by out-of-town friend's reactions. This past Sunday I brought a foodie-friend from Dallas here and she LOVED it! Marche has NEVER let me down, and I assure you it will be on your list of favorites if it isn't there already. One word of advice, get there early early on Saturday/Sunday, or shoot for later in the afternoon (Say around 3:00), otherwise be prepared to wait.

Mike K.

This place is fantastic. It was a bit of a wait for our table, which is fine, but once seated the service was right on! I ordered the croissant french toast, as did my friend, but I also ordered an egg, some bacon, and toast. We sipped our coffee while we waited for our food and it was delicious. I love coffee, I'm not a snob, I don't regularly hate coffee, and even had some circle K when I woke up for the drive to Nashville from Memphis, and the coffee at Marche Artisan Foods is delicious. It is great, it is good coffee. When the food arrived it was all still fresh and hot. The timing was perfect in the back, my french toast was warm, crusty, crispy, flaky, the egg seemed to just have finished sizzling, the toast was crunchy and warm, the bacon was perfect. The entire meal was prepared unbelievably well, and this place was packed! So I have to assume that if my plate was perfect it wasn't because my order was unique, I wasn't special, so everyone's plates must have been just right! And let me tell you, everything was a hit! The egg was just what I ordered, the bacon and toast were what I wanted, and the croissant french toast was better than I imagined. Go here and get it. I will make the drive back to Nashville for another one of these brunches, and it may be soon.

The salmon entree that I ordered here was the most delicious meal I've had in a very long time...and I don't even like fish! The menu rotates every month, so you know ingredients are always fresh. If I lived in Nashville I would definitely be a regular here. In fact, my only gripe is that I couldn't try it all ;) We went on a Saturday night and probably should have made reservations, since we ended up sharing a table with two other parties just to get a seat. Service was excellent and prompt despite how busy they were. The restaurant atmosphere was very cute and had shelves stocked with local TN food products. This restaurant is a must for out-of-towners, or anyone looking for a great dining experience.

My boyfriend and I were visiting in Nashville and looking for a good place for Saturday brunch. After we struck out with an hour wait at the other restaurant, we stumbled upon Marche driving down the street and decided to give it a shot. We lucked out with a parking space behind the restaurant and walked into the bustling, modern, rustic brunch spot. The separate counter for cafe foods and coffee was a really nice option, but we wanted to sit. The hostess was very nice and there was only a 10-15 minute wait, so we decided to stay. When our name was called, we were seated at a long butcher-block style table with two other couples on either side of us; this really reminded me of a European style of dining, which I'm always a fan of! But for those who aren't, there are plenty of regular tables. I ordered the half size of french toast and house made granola with yogurt. The french toast (half size was 2 big slices) was to die for and the yogurt and granola was delicious too. HUGE bowl of granola! Enough for probably 4 regular servings. You definitely get what you pay for. My boyfriend ordered the egg sandwich (I don't exactly remember what else was on it)... but I had a bite and it was delicious. No complaints with the food quality or prices. And OHHH, the coffeeeeee!!! Amazingly delicious served with what seemed like full fat cream... I was so satisfied and even got a cup to go. On a final note, the waitress was friendly and attentive. My coffee cup was never empty. Excellent brunch experience, one of the best I've had in a while.

The atmosphere is wonderful. The ingredients are fresh. I just wish they could bring some flavor. I always find myself thinking... for all this money, you could have at least put some garlic and herbs in my dish. Perhaps also some salt....

AMAZING. every single entree was perfect and delicious. Poutin was amazing, zucchini fritter was amazing, blood orange mimosas were amazing. Every single person of a 6 person group loved their food. We want to come back every Sunday for brunch...if only we didn't live in DC.

Stacy T.

There's a reason this place has so many positive reviews. It's consistantly delicious. They always have a great menu and I appreciate that it's small and changes often. It's a crowded little place if you go at the wrong time, but a mid-week lunch is a good bet for grabbing a table quickly. The steak ceasar is great, if it's offered, and you can't go wrong with any of the breakfast offerings. Really one of the best places in Nashville.

Paul K.

First time there, parked in their lot, met up with some friends who could not be seated because we were not there yet (delayed due to Titan's football game blocking the exit). Titans 11 minute delay caused another 20 minute delay after we got there. Was slightly peeved at that as if they had allowed seating we would have been there by the time the waiter got there, but I understand why they think it's a good business idea to do that (they're wrong, but you can't convince restaurants that very easily without more proof than is available). Anyway, I had the mushroom omelet, a half order of their french toast, some coffee and a slice of their bread from another person who was there. The omelet was good, the french toast I was not too fond of - I think I make a better french toast than they did, and it was $4.50 for a half order, which was 2 slices of it. The coffee was pretty nice. The slice of bread I had was not good. Total time spent there was about 1.5 hours, there were lines constantly, took a bit to get our checks, about as long to process them. Basically I think we held our seats for nearly an hour out of that waiting on something. The waitstaff was really nice, seemed to be on top of it for the most part, except that "it" was getting too much to handle as crowds of people were just waiting around, getting in the way, while waiting to be seated. I don't think I would have liked to be at the tables up top, as those people were getting bumped in to by the people waiting to be seated who had to keep moving constantly. At one point during our wait I just walked outside as there was no where to sit to wait, and standing meant you were always in someone's way. Bathrooms were clean as all getout. They have a sign up in them that tells all the awards they won, but no mention of who gave them the award, nor the year, so you'll notice right off the bat they won first and second place for best restaurant. Mmmm hmm.. It was pretty good mind you, but I am not one for waiting, or for overpaying for mediocre french toast. (2 slices at 4.50 came out to roughly 50 cents a bite) Trying to get out I was faced with being blocked in by someone who wanted my parking spot and could not back up due to another person behind them. Waited about 4 minutes for them to move and try and parallel park, which blocked the person behind them behind me. So yeah, parking is not so good - I would park on the street if possible.

My friend and I came here on the last day of our Nashville visit. I don't know why we waited so long to come here and I don't know why we waited until Saturday to do so. The place was crowded and a little out-of-control, but after having the food it was easy to see why. A table for two constituted a 45 minute wait, which was plenty of time to have a cup of coffee, review the menu and peruse the stationary, travel-sized Nutella packets, and baked goods up for sale. I decided on the quiche and my friend on the steak and eggs. Both took a little while to come out but when they did it was nothing short of amazing. The crust of my quiche was flaky and surely bad for my arteries. And as if we weren't already cutting our lifespans short with each buttery forkful of "artisan food" [Does that translate to "heaven on a plate"?] we ordered two desserts which we TRIED to share with each other. Yea, that didn't really happen.

Marche is one of those places I've had on my list to try forever... Honestly, I'm sad to say that I was a little disappointed. It was good, but it was definitely over-hyped. We went for brunch on a Saturday and ran into some friends who told us that the menu was not as good that day as it usually is... I guess it changes frequently? There was about a 30 minute wait, which is not bad for a popular weekend brunch spot, and we were able to find parking right up front even though the lot is tiny and cramped. The atmosphere inside was inviting and the pastries behind the counter looked amazing and made us drool while we waited. Off to a good start! The first thing that rubbed me the wrong way was the seating arrangement. There was one big party at the largest table in the place when we got there, but after they left it was turned into a community table. When our name was called the host directed us to the community table, where two couples were already sitting. A man at the head of the table with a woman next to him on one end, a woman at the head of the table with a man next to her at the other. We start to sit next to each other and the waiter rudely points to the other side and tells my boyfriend, "No, you're over there." So while the other two couples at the table have their cozy brunch, we're yelling across the table at each other (I should point out that the table was also right by the front door, so it was pretty loud with everyone standing around us waiting to be seated). No one was ever seated on one side of us, and at one point a waiter took the chair next to me away, so I'm really not sure what the harm would have been, but whatever. Toward the end of our meal they sat a couple on one side of us - girl next to me, guy next to him - and we heard them complain that they weren't exactly expecting or looking for community seating either. Ok, now the food. I had an egg and the croissant french toast, which was $4.50 for a half order of 2 slices (which, according to Paul K's review, equates to about $.50 per bite. Thanks, Paul.) The french toast was pretty good, I like the originality of making it with a croissant, but it wasn't mind blowing. The boyfriend's meal was also pretty good, but not spectacular, from the bite(s) I had. The menu didn't have a big selection, but if it does change as frequently as was implied I guess that's not a big deal. One thing there was a good selection of? Brunchy cocktails. I had a cucumber sake bloody mary. Pretty delicious. I'm glad we finally tried Marche, but I don't think we'll be back any time soon. Maybe if I lived in East Nasty I'd be able to justify it, but my West side self is not willing to make the trek over the bridge for mostly mediocre.

Billy W.

Ahhh Marche. My daughter, wife, and myself had a late evening meal here. It was delicious! The waitress was very attentive to your young daughter and made her feel like a princess. We will definitely be back. The creme brÃ»lÃ©e was the best we have ever had.

For a place full of overdressed hip folk you wouldn't expect the volume to be that of an elementary school cafeteria, but it is. It might have something to do with all of the wood and glass and lack of anything to absorb sound, but having to shout at my girlfriend who's sitting 2 feet away in order to hold a conversation is a little ridiculous. The last time I was there was for breakfast I got bacon, eggs and home-fries, all of which were overpowered by a strange fish taste. After informing our waitress who didn't believe us at first she checked with the chef to learn that he cooked my breakfast in the same pan he had previously used to cook somebodies tuna special. The food was inedible but at least they comped it. My coffee was served to me in a soup bowl which made things interesting - I figured they had run out of mugs but they had some for sale near the register by the exit. Also, I left this place one day with a pretty nasty stomach ache and have heard that they've had customers at this restaurant and at their sister restaurant down the street that have come down with food poisoning.

I saw this on several lists as a good place to stop and grab some food. Man was that an understatement. I stopped in for Brunch on my way out of town that was a big mistake I wish had more time to eat here again. This place turned me into a complete and total Pig (No offense to any Pigs out there) I tried to order everything on the menu that was good (so Everything on the menu). Just outside downtown Nashville proper you will find this amazing little place to eat. Great food and friendly staff and a beautiful atmosphere. I would put this place at the top of places to eat while in Nashville. I started off with the Martinelli's sparkling apple juice which was nice for an unusually warm day. I then ordered the Steak & Eggs the only complaint was the steak was a little cold, but it was still mouth watering. herbs and spices on the potatoes was perfect and eggs simply delicious. by the time I tasted the steak my other food had arrived a side of cheese grits w/ gruyere and half order of the croissant french toast. If this was a last meal I would have been very angry having not tried everything on the menu. First bite into the gruyere cheese grits was amazing my taste buds danced and then it only got better as I mixed the flavorful grits with the seasoning from the potatoes and juices from the steak and eggs. ahhhh! memories... Wow!!! I should have ordered a full order of these was the first thought after taking a bite of the croissant french toast. probably the most buttery fluffy flaky most delicious piece of breaded heaven I have tasted this side of dessert again Wow! I finished my plate and sat there because I didn't want to leave (also probably because I was stuffed But very Happy). If you are ever in Nashville on a Sunday this the place to be for Brunch. Six Stars ****** (awesome coffee and a Bakery)

I've had a couple of breakfast meetings here recently which are never fun to get up extra early for but I was in good company and Marche's cozy atmosphere was inviting enough to get me out of my morning grumps. The toast with fresh locally produced jam that I had was quite filling and tasty. Seriously may have been some of the best jam that I have ever enjoyed... no joke. My only gripe is that their menu doesn't accommodate a vegan's diet very well. I quietly mentioned my diet restriction to the server but she didn't make any suggestions for dishes that could be re-worked. At other dining establishments, this is normally not a big deal as this vegan can make it work practically anywhere. With that being said, Marche' is a solid spot for a quiet week-day breakfast or bustling weekend brunch too. I have never tried dinner here but am curious to check it out!

Some friends were visiting our wonderful city recently. As they are thinking about moving to Nashville, we showed them a couple of areas where we think they would enjoy living. After a quick tour of some very impressive older homes in East Nashville, we decided to take them to Marche. It had been a fet months since I last was there, but it was as good as I had remembered. We went for an early lunch and waited around five minutes to be taken to a table. The building definitely has charm and character, and we enjoyed the natural light from all the windows. Our server was friendly and although busy, she made us feel important. Everyone in our group enjoyed their food, my Tuscan chicken salad was especially fresh and tasty. Because of the way it's set up and the floors, it did get a bit loud when all the tables were occupied.

I can't believe I haven't reviewed Marche, after coming here SO many times! This is one of my favorite places in all of Nashville. I bring all my friends here, host bridal showers here, love it! The wait can be long, so just be prepared. You can get a coffee or mimosa while you wait, though. The food is worth the wait- anything on the menu is great. Love the bread basket to start and then the french toast or anything savory. The soups are also so good. The menu changes all the time with what's freshly available and lots of light, healthy but delicious options. I love the big windows that let the sun in. It just makes me happy to have brunch here, which is why I come here all the time!

1. Brunch cocktails - great variety, well poured. Specialty fruit mimosas and other manly type drinks. 5 Stars 2. Gumbo - bland, bland, bland, salty, bland. No spice on the sausage, no spice on the broth, the shrimp didn't taste like anything. The rice was clumpy. Clearly I was confused about what state I was in. 3. Croissant with homemade jam. Great jam. Even more awesome croissant. Flaky, not too buttery, nom nom nom. 4. Lamb meatball sandwich (SO's). I liked the herb flavor that was on it and the fresh mozzarella. SO didn't like that it wasn't toasted and the cheese wasn't melted. Didn't bother me. Some of the meatballs were cold in the middle though. More bothersome. So, some things are great and some things are not so great? Ambiance was pretty good. Lots of windows and such. Service was fine.

Everything about this place- the coffee, the croissant french toast, the croissant sandwich, the apple and brie on cinnamon raison and the spiced apple pie (a friend and I split a lot of food)... was AMAZING! Also, our waitress, Alison, was great! She was so nice! I love this place and I wish I could go back.

If you like omelets and you happen to be in Nashville this place is a must. Fluffy, flavorful and perfectly cooked. Service is very friendly and even though they were packed, food came out really fast. Just one thing to keep in mind...if you are coming on a Sunday for brunch be ready to wait...def worth it.

Went for brunch early on a rainy Saturday morning with plenty of seating. The food was just disappointing. Got burnt crepes topped with arugula going bad. The wife got a bowl of bland mushy oatmeal with hard, bland nectarines. Sent back the crepes and got bacon, eggs, and cheese grits that were edible but uninspired. Did we catch the kitchen on a bad day? Not sure I would chance it again. On the plus side, two shiny stars for good service and for taking the oatmeal off the check.

After a close friend raved about MarchÃ© to my boyfriend, he decided one morning to take me on a surprise brunch adventure. We went to MarchÃ© on an early Sunday afternoon and it was totally slammed. We decided to get our food to go and although I'm hesitant about doing this with a restaurant I've never ate at before, I was definitely not disappointed. My boyfriend ordered their croissant french toast with apples and brie and I ordered the brunch salad with poached egg and a bacon vinaigrette. The croissants were off the chain. A delicious melody of textures and flavor. My salad wasn't TERRIBLE... it was just drowned in the vinaigrette making it very soggy and unappetizing. The other components of the salad were delicious though. All in all, MarchÃ© was a total delight and I can't wait to return and actually eat inside! haha.

I have never had a bad meal here. Brunch is a hassle (but worth it ) and dinner is easy and low key.

Took visiting relatives to Saturday brunch yesterday. It was perfect. The food was amazing! I had a pulled pork/sweet potato/greens creation that HAD to be created just for me. My husband looked at the menu before I did and he said, "you don't even have to look, you're gonna want this." He was correct...it was splendid. All of our guests were happy with their brunch, they were charmed by the ambiance and we were all grateful for the unobtrusive but attentive service. We sat there for 3 hours catching up and visiting and never got that "I wish they'd clear out" feeling. Very gracious service. Oh...and the Benton's bacon. If I review Marche 10 times, I will mention the bacon 10 times. Sighhhhh...the bacon.

I didn't find my meal here all that remarkable, but I still appreciate the concept of a simple, seasonal menu. Dinner offerings rotate monthly, with the usual starters of cheese, olives, and olive oil; about a half-dozen first courses (soup, salad, smoked salmon, oysters, and the like); and about a half-dozen entrees, which include a variety of meat, seafood, and vegetarian options. Back in January 2012, I had the Milk Braised Pork Tenderloin ($15), served with mashed sweet potatoes, collard greens, and toasted hazelnuts. The dish came well presented, and the ingredients were quality, but I'm not sure the overall meal worked all that well. The juicy and tender pork was prepared very lightly, and was enjoyable with the very lightly salted collards. However, the overly generous portion of mashed sweet potatoes really overwhelmed everything else. I've otherwise enjoyed the trend of somehow incorporating sweet potatoes into damn near everything, but I think the cloying sweetness of the sweet potatoes, especially when they're in mashed form and thus retain that cloying sweetness, really took over what should have been a much lighter dish. I also had a taste of the Housemade Fettuccini with Spicy Lamb Meatballs ($15), served with a red pepper tomato sauce, olives, oregano, and pecorino. I enjoyed the meatballs -- very solid lamb flavor, there -- but I wouldn't call them spicy at all. And while I liked the pasta, I thought it was perhaps just a tad under-flavored and under-sauced, at least to my palate. Rounding off my meal with a competently prepared cappuccino, I found the food just a bit lacking, but still enjoyable, overall. The restaurant space itself, with its sidewalk-cafe-style furniture, huge windows, brick walls, and open kitchen, is really quite charming. There's a few nooks stocked full of groceries, along with an (admittedly somewhat cluttered and unattractive) display of baked goods. Restrooms are unisex, brightly lit, and clean. Service is low-key, but helpful enough.

They were very busy on a Sunday morning and the wait was over 1.5 hours, but the food was excellent and the staff friendly.

You have to figure any place where people are willing to spend an hour of their Sunday morning waiting for brunch HAS to be good. If you plan to go her eon a weekend morning, you probably better plan on a wait. But trust me, the time will fly by...just plow through the somewhat awkward layout of the entry area/dining room/coffee bar and order a drink to keep you company while you wait, then step outside to get out of the way and listen closely for your name. I indulged in a "breakfast appetizer" in the form of a chocolate croissant to go with my blood orange mimosa. Both were fresh and delicious. If the croissant wasn't homemade, it was definitely fresh. It had just the perfect amount of chocolate, enough to sweeten it up but not so much that it overtakes the flaky buttery deliciousness of the croissant. For my entree, I ordered the pork loin sandwich, which had a wonderful flavor. The pork was tender and easy to eat (far from one of those annoying meat sandwiches that you can't take a bite of because your teeth can't get through the meat) and it had a delicious grainy mustard on top with creamy coleslaw on the side. Definitely recommended! The biggest issue with this place is definitely the parking, which is a bit complicated. But be prepared for it and get creative, the meal will be worth your effort.

I kid you not, these were the exact words out of my mouth: "MY MOUTH IS SO HAPPY!!!" Upon entering, I knew I would like this place immediately. Even when every table is packed, the dining area is open enough that you wouldn't feel overwhelmed. Wall-to-wall windows allow the sunlight to pour in and provide for a very light atmosphere. Our server was incredibly helpful, as she pointed out options that would adhere to my dietary needs with a kind smile. And of course, the food. Oh. My. God. I had the granola with soy milk replacing the yogurt, and as prefaced above, my mouth was in a state of utter bliss. I would have never guessed that a bowl of granola could taste so good. It's just toasted oats, some dried fruit and spices, right? But seriously? IT. IS. THAT. GOOD. I couldn't stop smiling as I continued to devour that granola. The secret ingredient is most likely magic, because I'd never been so excited about granola before. My scrambled eggs were cooked to perfection and my potatoes were delightfully aromatic and tasty, but what sent me over the edge was the homemade ketchup. I wanted to buy a bottle of it on the spot, but I stopped myself because I wouldn't be able to bring it on the flight home. At this point, my only regret is not having tried everything on the menu and dealt with the aftermath of my food allergies afterward. With that being said, MarchÃ© offers a truly refreshing take on brunch, as well as other meals I'm sure, with options that are sophisticated without being pretentious. Finally, the use of fresh, local ingredients and homemade spreads or condiments is always noteworthy in my book, and this little cafe will not disappoint.

Food was outstanding. The scallops were buttery and perfectly seared on the outside and the risotto was the perfect complement. The herbed olive oil was super yummy. Service was really lacking. Waiter just did not have a sense of urgency about serving his customers. Waited about 20 minutes for bread and olive oil. Had to ask for it a second time and he still wasn't in a hurry. Hopefully they will improve so I can give 5 stars instead of 4. Make reservations for dinner, as it does fill up quickly.

Excellent bistro for Nashville. I really dig the coffee (cafe au lait was phenom), the brunch is a 10 out of 10. If you want to see the latest version of Ugg boots, the girls that frequent the joint are here in droves. Oh yeah. Hipsters. They need their own section.

I had an absolutely delicious omelet with asparagus and feta cheese, a green salad and a side of cheese grits! If you are used to creamy, no texture grits then do NOT order these! They are coarsely stone ground and include the corn brand and have a texture which is almost chewy. I like them but understand that not everyone may. Did not disappoint! This is the only restaurant I've tried in Nashville that has been consistent in food quality and service and that I continue to return to. I am always assured that I will get quality, locally sourced food prepared very well and be offered a variety of choices. I ended my meal with a delicious pecan shortbread cookie thiugh i was very tempted to have the strawberry lemon Semifreddo! I shall miss this place as a Saturday morning brunch spot when I move to Clarksville next month which, alas, is a fast food paradise! Until then, I will get here as frequently as I can.

Nora S.

Only good thing I can say is great location. Frittata I ordered was dry and tasted like scorched eggs. Yuk! It was small in portion and the only side was a few mixed greens, no bread. Everyone at the table ordered something different and every dish was tasteless. I hope for their sake we hit them on an off day.

Marche is a European style cafe in East Nashville whose decor and layout can seemingly transport even those who hate to travel to a intimate cafe in Paris. As we walked in, we were both overcome with excitement at the sight of the decor and layout and having originally met in Europe, we both knew immediately this was going to be a beautiful night that would bring back amazing memories. We were sat at a bistro style table next to large open windows that allowed the 6 pm sunlight to illuminate the cafe beautifully. I was torn between the Prosecco Punch ($6) and the Sangria ($5) but upon a recommendation from our waitress, I went with the house made Sangria. Other than my homemade Sangria recipe, which I got from my dear friend Margaret (Details by Margaret), this was the best Sangria I have ever had due to the perfect mix of fruit flavor to offset the bitterness of the red wine. Cole tried the Highland Ale Beer ($3.50 Bottle) which he described as a very mellow pale ale with a refreshing crisp and bitter finish. Read More - uncharterednashville.bloâ€¦

A breakfast with a touch of noise... It's hard to imagine a quiet breakfast place, but when this place gets busy it's kinda crazy in here. Parking is a little of a headache when a line starts to form outside the building, especially after Sunday morning services. The wait can be a little bit crazy too. If you have a party of 6 or more, it may be difficult to find a seat at the busiest times of the day. Overall, the food is always fresh and I have no complaints or qualms. It definitely has an open, airy, feel with windows surrounding the dining area which adds to the European cafe ambiance. Service is good, and I think the workers do one helluva job keeping up with the work during the busy hours. If you can avoid the less busy times of the day during the weekdays, I would recommend a relaxing stroll on over to Marche and be able to enjoy Marche at its best...when it isn't crowded or busy.

I REALLLY wanted to love this place. Having just moved from Boulder I love fresh food from a boutique kind of restaurant. I probably should have gotten the spinach and gruyere omelette, but I've been wanting to try Poutine for a while and thought I'd give this a shot. It was pretty good, but it was VERY peppery. I don't mean spicy, just lots and lots of black pepper. Everything else in it was good, but it was just too peppery. Other knocks on this place - the clueless host who really needs to shave his mustache told us 20 minutes at 10:20. We sat down at 11:20. While we waited by the host stand this guy kept telling people 20-30 minutes even as the crowd grew. One girl confronted him about the wait and he just said, "Well, it's hard for me to tell time." WTF? I'm going to give this place another chance to try things like the grapefruit brÃ»lÃ©e. I just hope that next time we wait an hour we get our own table. Yes, they sat us with another group. Other than that, if you are a 5 points hipster, this is absolutely the place to be for Sunday brunch.

I hate Brussels sprouts. I hate rutabagas. Just seeing their names make me wrinkle my nose. That is, until I ate the Vegetable Hash from Marche Artisan Foods. You must understand, I am not one of those people that orders steamed vegetables or even cooked-to-death country vegetables. I like green beans. That's about it. The food came and I hesitantly took a bite of the hash first. I knew it was Brussels sprouts. It could not be disguised. Then came the next bite, this time with rutabagas added. Oh. Nice. Yummy. Another bite, then another. These were Brussels sprouts and rutabagas with which I was not familiar! Oh, don't forget the meatloaf, which I almost did in this hash love fest. Unlike most turkey meatloaves, this was not dry but juicy and flavorful. The prosciutto wrapped around it was a nice touch. Plus, the serving is two very nice-sized pieces. Then I noticed the oohs and ahhhs all around at our table. My companions loved their dishes: Braised Pork Sandwich, Curry-Glazed Chicken with Couscous, and a Portabella Sandwich. Conversation slowed dramatically except for the "Mmm. You have to try this!" Service during the meal was attentive but not intrusive - my favorite kind.

Amrita R.

I had the one of the best brunch items here that I'd ever had before, and it was not something I'd ever think of ordering, had my friend not pushed me to do so. It was sliced peaches on brioche toast with ricotta and honey. All the components were so flavorful and fresh, I savored every single bite. I can see the relationship between Marche and Margot clearly. They both stick to simple dishes, made well. I love that you can shop around the store side of the establishment, and that bakery side is separate. I also love that we spotted a very grumpy Jack White at the next table! I'd been here on a previous trip to Nashville, so when I drove through again, I really wanted to go back. My friend suggested we try Margot for a change and I'm glad we did, but I've still got Marche on my mind and I'll be back on my next trip, for sure.

We had a group from Work go for a farewell lunch for a Graduate student. (I had been before for a brunch years a go) everyone else was new and the Grad student picked it because she had heard so much about it and always wanted to try it. We had a Party of 8 and sat quickly the waiter was great but the food took forever to come out and 4 of the orders were not what we had ordered from the Menu. We had ordered a Potato and Red Pepper Omelet....we were served a Salmon and Cream Cheese Omelet....No one informed us that there was an issue with our order...just sat it down for us and nothing said about the change....our people noticed and and asked what the filling was and then they told us.... 3 of us tried to eat it one returned hers...it was not a good taste and none of us finished it. One also had a hair in it (discovered as she got to the end of the meal)...we asked to see the manager 3 times before he finally got up from the table he was sitting at to speak to us and talked down to us and gave us a 10% discount customer complaint discount....no "I'm Sorry" nothing like that....Finally he took off the charge for the Omelet with a hair...but still charged her for a cup of Coffee. Never again Food was a 2 out of 5...Management 0 out of 5

On my second trip back here, I didn't do the snack/pastry shopping but was able to eat breakfast here. And it is a fantastic breakfast place. The prices seem a little steep, but the portions are just right. The food is fresh, well prepared and is of high quality. It seems their food is generally locally sourced, which is always a plus! If you're not too hungry, getting a side of eggs and bacon or sausage is perfect and barely $5. If you want a full plate, they're still under $10 and should definitely fill all but the most glutinous of us. The bacon was not crispy, which in my book isn't too big of a deal as long as it has some structure to it, which it did. Who really wants bacon that breaks up like crackers? That's just too far, and what Waffle House is for. The sausage on the other hand tasted delicious, very much like a good breakfast sausage/banger.

I absolutely adore Marche. I recently visited for brunch with friends and was absolutely blown away by the service and the menu items. The wait is just like any other for brunch in Nashville - longish. For a table of 3 we had a 30 minute wait. What makes this wait more than tolerable is the option to order a cup of coffee, latte, cappuccino, etc. at the counter. If you order a latte, be sure to ask for a regular mug (if not, they will serve it in a bowl like dish that is hard to hold while holding onto your clutch, trying to converse with friends and moving around the people around you). Great latte. The cafe itself is pleasant with a casual, laid back atmosphere. I would have no problem wearing cute shorts or a maxi dress or jeans to this place. The servers are all lovely and very helpful. The tables are small, but they are excellent at clearing extraneous dishes. The menu items looked incredible and there were several options for vegetarians, pescetarians and your usual carnivores. We started with a cheese plate, more coffee and ordered our entrees. We all sampled each order and agreed that most were delicious. The french toast left a little something to be desired but no worries. We had plenty to choose from. However, when our server cleared plates she proactively offered to remove the french toast from our bill. How kind! It's that kind of attention to customer experience that will definitely keep me returning. Nutshell: great coffees great food great atmosphere GO!

My friends and I came for a late lunch here after visiting the Hermitage this past October. We were cold and hungry and Marche hit the spot. The restaurant itself is very cute. There's a little market area, a counter where you can order things to go, and a seating area surrounded by windows. I had a turkey burger with a side salad and both were excellent. The service was a little slow at times, and they weren't busy, but it was ok because the atmosphere was nice. My friends all enjoyed their lunches, as well. I'd recommend it if you're in the area.

Came in on a Sunday...all I can say is, busy! busy! but not too bad of a wait. Simple menu, but good in particular the croissant french toast, it was oh so good! Also had the omelette w/ veggies, cooked just right, no complaints. So, I would add this to my weekend list of go-to places for breakfast.

We stayed at a place a few blocks away from Marche Artisan Foods and every time we drove by the place was packed. When that's the case, you know it has to be good. We had a bit of a wait when we tried it out but it wasn't too bad. I had the Croissant French Toast and it was so good.

I think the thing I miss the most is Sundays at this place. The freshest food and great service in the hood of all hoods. The owners are great and always around to ensure all is well. Best brunch ever and you know it's good when people are waiting in their cars for the doors to open.

Lucky for us, we went during a weekday because I read this place had lines out the door on the weekends. After going, I can totally see why! It's not just because the food is so tasty, but there's not a whole lot of seating space. Servers were great, though, and very friendly. Didn't make you feel like you were being rushed out, and I remember the food coming out ninja fast. I'd go back just for the applewood smoked bacon.

Went here with my partner for Valentine's Day. They were completely booked but allowed us to wait and see if we could get a table. The host was able to get us in and it was so worth the wait!

Went there for drinks and a small bite on our trip to Nashville after a full day of exploring and eating. The restaurant had a very laid back, casual feel to it. I'm not sure that they appreciated that we ordered just appetizers and drinks without entrees though. Food was good - especially the lamb flat bread ... Yum! drinks were great. The strawberry rhubarb was my favorite part though - just the perfect amount of sweet. Staff was friendly but not overly involved. Would go back to try main dishes if we get a chance.

my favorite place in Nashville. Service is fabulous, our server was so much fun, she was informative and really laid back. She knew we were from out of town and was helpful on telling us some local gems as well. I LOVED the risotto dish it was so rich and flavorful. The Curry/rice dish was ok, I think i was expecting more of a liquid type of meal but it was rice and curried vegetables, it was actually pretty good. Blood Orange Mimosas. Oh yes they have them. and they are fabulous. Loved the selections of honeys that they have, bought myself a truffle honey. do wish we could have tried it before purchasing but i figure, its truffle it has to be good.

I swear EVERYTHING we tasted in Nashville was fresh... ALL SERVERS were friendly... all the people here are super kind and hospitable... this place is amazing! The food is great, and they have great gluten free options! Our server was exceptionally friendly and gave us some great recommendations for attractions and eateries. Although we only had a chance to try breakfast here, we had a chance to see the previous nights dinner menu, and the selections looked fresh, and unique and hopefully next time we will try those out!

I've been wanting to try this place for a while now but have been put off by the crowds. Went around 2:00 pm and it was perfect timing- only a 10 minute wait! I started off with their blood orange mimosa. Super delicious and their most popular according to our server. Got their omelette and it was superb! I ate every last bite. Perfect place to brunch! Atmosphere and service were on point. I now understand the lines.

Stopped by to get quick breakfast to go since I was running late for my meeting. The Batista person was actually really helpful. She was sweet, obviously new at her job but quickly took my order and answered my questions. I got the breakfast sandwich without bacon. It was kinda disappointing. Certainly innovative with the greens that came with it but it just had no taste. I ate the sandwich in my car on my way to work and was seriously tempted to stop at a grocery store to get some salt for the sandwich. Worse still, the manager (?) was snarky when I asked her for their wifi password. Sorry that I asked but don't have three networks, including one that says "guest" if you are not willing to share. Next time, I will be getting up 20 minutes earlier and spending my hard earned money at Fido.

Had breakfast at Marche today with husband and our 3yo and 13mo. We got there around 9:45 am and had a 30 minute wait. We enjoyed people watching and looking through the little corner of interesting food items to buy. We could have ordered from a selection of coffee drinks and baked goods while we waited. Started with the oatmeal and the fruit tartine; both interesting and delicious especially that tartine. Entrees of steak and eggs and polenta lasagna. Both heavenly! The eggs over medium on both plates were a revelation...wished I could have gone back to the kitchen for lessons. I really wanted to try most everything on the menu; we will have to come back. It is loud in there which makes conversation a bit difficult, but having two little ones makes conversation difficult and the general loudness meant that any noise our girls made didn't stand out, so pros and cons!

Dined with my husband for brunch today and appreciated the friendly service. I had the French toast, red potatoes and grapefruit brÃ»lÃ©e. My husband had the scrambled eggs, grits, and bacon. We were pretty famished after a long wait and did enjoy the food, but think it was a bit over priced. Fine place if you happen to be in the neighborhood and don't mind a bit of a wait. P.S. We loved the big windows and the light they provided for the dining room. We also shared an 8 top table with several young ladies, but we didn't mind. Could be fun if you happen to be seated next to friendly, less pretentious people!

Yes yes yes! We stood in line before this place opened in order to snag a seat for brunch. The creamy parmesan grits and the chocolate croissant were so satisfying and comforting. This cafe is definitely a diamond in the rough in East Nashville - it is really the only thing to see for several blocks. I would definitely come back for a bloody mary or mimosa to pair with another delicious breakfast!

Yesterday I visited this place for the first time and I wasn't disappointed. I ordered the Tartine with peaches, ricotta and local honey on organic grains toast. Amazing!!! Not to mention I ordered the savory crepes with chorizo and potatoes. The quality of food was on point and the price range was completely affordable!

Traveling for work I always try to find good local spots to check out. This place seemed to fit the bill so I gave it a shot. I little bit of a wait, but it was definitely worth it! I paid about $15 for my brunch, which wasn't too bad compared to some other brunches I've had - especially coming from Seattle. Please - do yourself a favor and get the croissant french toast. Oh my goodness! Melt in your mouth heaven was what it was. Amazing! I came by myself and was sat at the community table. It ended up working out as I was sat by another man who was eating by himself, so we ended up chatting and it was a pretty cool experience - a nice break from eating in solitude most of my trip. Definitely a classier, "Portlandia" type brunch spot, but I'd say it was worth the hype.

Three words to describe marche: classy, refreshing, tasty. After eating days of delicious but heavy southern food, marche was a refreshing and perfect way to end my nashville trip. They change the menu constantly and print you a new one each day. We started with the manchego cheese plate with raisin sourdough bread and peach jam. This was delicious with our wine. My friend got the pork chop and I had the quinoa salad. Both were delicious. We ended with the chocolate zucchini cake which is covered in decadent frosting and big enough to share. Service was awesome and for the freshness of the menu I thought it was very reasonable priced! Check it out for a break from the typical southern food options!

Afkham N.

Always a pleasure to eat here. Rustic interior, friendly service and such a fresh menu with the flavors to match, I love all of it. Thier menu varies throughout the day and some through the week so u r sure to find new things to try. The tiny mamosa did put a dent in my pocket but hey when in France, do the Romans. I have had thier omelet de jour a few times and the one with chorizo is packed with flavor. For Sunday brunch today however I enjoyed a very decadent Steak n scrambled eggs with delicious rosemary potatoes. The steak was covered in a shitake gravy which sent the tender steak into a different dimension. Like the guy in Candy Crush says, DIVINE!

Allie R.

This place is adorable. I have been in for both brunch and lunch with friends and family. The food here is very good, simple and pleasant. When I was in for lunch I had the market salad. It was delicious, $5 and a great little lunch portion, and I have also had their sundried tomato basil quiche. It was wonderful. The only complaint I would have is that the service can be very slow. When I was in for lunch we were one of two tables eating and it took 40 minutes to get our three little lunches out.... so that seemed very silly. Otherwise I've had great experiences. Love the atmosphere and the drink and coffee menu. I am sure I'll be back.

I love Marche. I had been there for brunch many times and was never dissapointed, so a few months ago we decided to give it a go for dinner. So glad I did! Way less crowded, decent prices and amazing high quality food! We wanted to repeat the experience so husband made reservations for Valentines day, and once again everything was a hit. Started with an antipasta place (gorgonzola stuffed figs wrapped in bacon, butternut squash crostini, beets, and marcona almonds). Yum. All of it. Also a bowl of curried carrot soup. Husband had an open faced hot fish sandwich that was outstanding and I had the pasta bolognese. So savory and delicious. Desserts are where its at, here at Marche and we split a piece of pineapple upside down cake. Im drooling right now just thinking about it. All in all we both had drinks, an appetizer, soup, 2 entrees, coffee and a shared dessert and the bill was $64. Thats pretty incredible for the quality! If you've only tried Marche for brunch, GO FOR DINNER.

Marche is my favorite restaurant in Nashville by a lot. The food is mostly (if not all) local and seasonal. Everything is extremely fresh and tasty. I've only been here for brunch, but would eat here every day if I could. The biscuits with poached eggs are amazing. Quiches and savory tarts are always delicious. I had a sweet potato and kale bread pudding sometime in the autumn that was unreal. It's full of light from all the windows and very charming. Big mismatched farm tables scattered around and mixed in with smaller tables and chairs. It almost feels like eating out on a patio in Europe. Love it!!

Yelp provided this as a good breakfast location and since it was so close to where I was staying I thought I would go when I wake up late. I was a little surprised to see such a high brow seeming place in Nashville and wondered what it would be like. I stepped in and it looked more like a market or coffee shop than a restaurant with a large open area with a counter with pastries and coffee station. Tables filled with cheeses and spreads. A nice woman came up to me and asked how many. I told her just me and she sat me in a little round table near the window in a corner between the levels that separate the restaurant and market areas. My waiter was a little confused about the soup and specials so he came back after checking-I think it was a shift change. I got the mulled cider and the soup sounded interesting enough-tomato barley with prosciutto. The cider was great, with the cinnamon and cardamon really complemented the cider well. A little lukewarm but a great flavor. The soup was okay, not enough prosciutto and it made the rest of the soup a little blander without it. For breakfast I ordered the pulled pork bruschetta with eggs over medium. The pork was okay but the eggs were done right just yolky enough that it mixed well the pork and with salt and pepper a pretty good start to the day. A nice brunch place for sure, I brought it up to my friend and let her know that it seems like a nice brunch place for couples.

Great Shrimp and Grits. Added a side of bacon, which is apparently baked, and tasted fantastic. Service was friendly and helpful, even though they were a bit busy at 10am. Pleasant atmosphere and nice open kitchen where you can see the staff at work.

Always packed for brunch, Marche is a great stop on a Saturday morning. I've had the steak and eggs, the omelet, and the strata, and all were top-notch. The coffee is strong and flavorful, and the service, though sometimes a bit slow, is always friendly and knowledgeable.

Is it my favorite ever, neuh, but overall it's good. Been here a few times for brunch, but the atmosphere is perfect. Crowded with all sorts of people. Some families, some young couples, some people recovering from partying the night before, maybe with a bloody mary. You can just get a pastry, and a coffee, or sit down to eat some good food. It's french mainly, and I like all the dishes, but not really love. The whole ambiance is nice though, and open space, with some communal sitting is a pleasure. One of my favorite places for brunch, for sure. Recommend the steak and eggs.

I love this place! Great food, great waitstaff, great atmosphere, and very reasonable prices. I live in the 'hood, so have had the pleasure at dining at Marche six or seven times, for brunch, lunch, and dinner. I have been most impressed with their dinner menu--it is so creative, delicious, and fresh. (This could be due at least in part to the fact that I'm not a huge brunch fan.) The portions aren't huge, which really makes you appreciate the food. And did I mention that the prices are really reasonable? I think I spent $40 for two of us, with drinks and dessert. If you go for brunch and want something particularly decadent, try the croissant french toast. I always bring visitors here, especially people who have a more refined palate or hail from larger metropolitan areas. They are always impressed. Marche is a one-of-a-kind restaurant in Nashville, and it has few rivals in terms of price, ambiance, quality, and creativity. In fact, I can't think of any.

It is always busy here and a wait to be seated but I never mind that due to the ease of sipping a Mimosa while you wait. The food is wonderful. I have had the omelette (which they were happy to make with whites only), the cheese plate, the smoked salmon flatbread (loads of delicious salmon) and a few others. The service is consistently good with often quirky individuals. I highly recommend this place and a walk around the neighborhood after.

During a spontaneous walk through 5 points, I decided I was just too close by to not try Marche. I went during mid-day Saturday so there was no wait to be seated. I tried the cheese plate of the day for my appetizer and since I was only hungry for a snack, I chose the tomato watermelon salad for my entree. The food is all fresh and extremely creative. Also, my husband said the burger was one of the better ones he has had in Nashville-which we were not expecting for this place. We decided we couldn't leave without trying dessert so we shared a blueberry tart. It ended up being a great way to spend our Saturday afternoon.

Our brunch couldn't have been better. The chocolate croissant was flaky, buttery deliciousness; my outstanding french toast was made from croissants; the bacon still makes my mouth water. Apparently those in the know go to MarchÃ©: We were in Nashville for the U2 show the night before. U2's opening act, Florence + the Machine, were having brunch at MarchÃ© the morning after the show as well...you know that you've chosen the restaurant well when the table next to you is occupied by a band that just played in front of 50,000 people. Most importantly, the food was outstanding!

This place is super trendy and trying really hard but it was a total let down for us. The atmosphere and the space are really warm and inviting but I went to this place for some good food. The waitress was cute and nice but super aloof. Anytime we needed something I had to flag her down or literally get up out of my seat to go get her. I have a lot of patience in restaurants and really cant remember the last time I had to do that. Their menu looks like everything is going to be amazing but things were either bland or way too salty. No matter how cool the atmosphere is I just cant imagine us ever going back to a place that messes up the simple things like an egg. I was hoping this was going to be a go to spot for us but we just left disappointed. I guess all the rave reviews are coming from people that just like the atmosphere and are not paying attention to what they are eating?

MarchÃ© is a little slice of Paris in East Nashville. It's so very well known around these parts that it's hard to add anything to a review that hasn't already been written. You'll always find intriguing combinations at MarchÃ© -they consistently find food pairings that surprise and amaze, and our "brunch appetizer" (yes, it's a THING) was amazing -fresh peaches and ricotta on toast, with honey drizzled on the side. Except that the peaches weren't exactly ripe. I can understand, because it's not yet July 4, but I was surprised it was on the menu. My wife ordered a savory crepe with an outstanding basil-tomato "sauce," which to me tasted like a concentrated tomato-basil soup -again, another outstanding pairing of tastes. These are the kinds of food combinations that keep me going back. And the coffee on a late Sunday morning ... you cannot ask for better coffee. Just be willing to step outside your "comfort zone" on the menu -- even MarchÃ© can't make a pedestrian choice (in my case, scrambled egg hash that allegedly had andouille sausage) anything more than what it is. And in that case, you can blame no one but yourself for playing it safe.

Oh my. The croissant and whatever jam went with it, delightful. The coffee was perfectly roasted. I had an omelette--sweet corn, goat cheese, tarragon. I don't even have words to describe it. It was transcendent. Best brunch I have ever had.

A great place for brunch, get a crepe, you will want to order another one. They change the crepe menu offerings frequently and offer sweet and savory options. There is a pretty tasty dessert selection on display in at the counter. I have went inside on a crowded night and just purchased a slice of cake to go. I have no patience, so I will not wait to eat. This place is always crowded, so prepare to wait unless you go at an off time, mornings during the week are clear, the parking sucks.

What an adorable place to eat! I went here for breakfast after a night of drinking and the heat was just too much for us! We had to wait 40 min but that gave us time to walk around and explore this wonderful new neighborhood. Although we did see a dancing man that smelled of garbage, the walk was nice and as soon as we made it back - it was packed. We started off in the corner window and it was so cute! The beautiful dainty waitresses, the cute table clothes and adorable chairs all combined to create a rustic, old country feel in this cafe. We ordered the bread bowl that came out with little dishes of peanut butter, nutella, jam, honey and butter. I ordered the brucetta (which although for 8$ is kind of expensive) was delicious. It had goat cheese and precutto on it! Not a very big portion though. And my friend got the oatmeal that had cute little apple dishes on top! We also got some yummy drinks to go along with our breakfast. I got the pomegranate mimosa and the other the blood Orange. They were not as sweet as expected but i think with the added champagne you can't really change it. Our waitress actually knew the menu and had notes on all the dishes, she was wonderful. The only thing i could change is to up the AC, it was extremely hot in there and the fans didn't help. Other than that - cute place and I'd definitely go back.

I'm now a regular at this little joint because it's probably the cutest thing I have seen in Tennessee so far! It's not too big but it's not tiny either, where the people are just close enough to exchange pleasantries but far enough to hold their individual conversations. The staff is so friendly and I can become friends with any of them any time, it just makes my day to go in for lunch and be able to be stress free of everything and be genuinely taken care of! The food is very fresh and so excellent! The lunch menu has just the right ingredients for everyone, I know because I'm extremely picky but here I don't modify my food! They also have a modest but rich wine selection. Any palette, from fine to plain, would find a wine it would like; white OR red - or both heh heh. Overall this place has an artistic and relaxing atmosphere, I wish it was closer to where I live so I could go there even more!

My wife and I went in here expecting a half-way decent breakfast. Instead, we got the best breakfast we had in a long time. We started with the bread basket appetizer, which came with I believe 3 breads and dipping sauces (peanut butter, nutella, peach jam, butter, and honey). This was nice. We both had the coffee, which was good. For breakfast, I ordered the Croque Madame, which I had to ask what it was; basically a grilled ham and cheese (great cheese, and great ham) with an egg on top. I thought it would be okay, but it was AWESOME! I can't recommend it strongly enough. My wife got the ham and cheese omelet, which was the same cheese, and it was really good too. They both came with a "breakfast salad", which had a light tangy sauce it was tossed in. Strongly recommend!

Wow, Marche for Sunday brunch was perfection. My boyfriend surprised me and took me here, which was awesome to begin with. Then we got here and were both pleasantly surprised with how amazing the food was. When we walked in, it was packed and the layout of the place was kind of confusing. We didn't really know what to do, then after standing there like idiots for a minute we discovered that the hostess stand was in the middle of the restaurant. The wait was only about a half hour, so we ordered some pomegranate mimosas while we waited which made it go by a little quicker. When we were seated, my boyfriend insisted on ordering the artisan cheese plate for an appetizer. This was amazing, and my only complaint is that I wish there would have been more cheese on there. I then ordered the crepes and my boyfriend the herb-feta omelet, both of them with a side of bacon. Both of us loved what we ordered. The portion sizes were perfect, and even after gorging on a cheese plate, I finished all the food and wasn't toooo too stuffed. Although, I must say, the perfect end to my brunch was the nap that followed when we got home. My mouth is watering thinking about Marche, and I want to go back soon!

This is a must-try brunch place for Nashville. Great food.... Simple, but always delicious. Great coffe, and save room for dessert. Worth it. If you go on a weekend prepare to wait as this place is super popular. Portions are not huge, but satisfying.
(5)
Mike H.

As the name implies, the food was individually prepared and contained very fresh ingredients as befitting the "artisan" in the name. The clam bake was well-prepared and full of fresh tomatoes, and the tomato-basil first course was excellent. My wife's chicken was grilled to perfection. A little pricey, but well worth it. The building does not provide the best ambiance, but the staff is attentive and it isn't too much of a detraction. A must-visit in East Nashville.

Disclaimer: Yes, I'm biased, as a former Marche server and a good friend of lots of folks still ensuring that this place RULES. But if I'm to review any place in the city, it should be this one, with consistently delicious and creative presentations of breakfast, lunch, dinner and brunch standards. Saddle up with your big ol' loud visiting family or laid back gang of friends at a farm table (you gotta split whatever "fruit, cheese, spread and bread" combo is seasonal, i.e. peaches and ricotta). Have an intimate convo and glass of wine with your #1 at a round table by the window, while waiting for the most affordable fine dining supper in the city. Or, as others have mentioned, you can grab an A+ meal or sweet snack in a hurry, ordering directly from a darling barista, who'll also whip you up the best latte of your life. Revel in my personal favorite East Nashville pastime, a rousing guessing game of "hobo or hipster?" as folks walk in. (The diversity in clientele is notable and nice.) Altogether warm and authentic, Marche consistently hits homers with me, even or ESPECIALLY now that I must pay for the food. :) GO THERE, and (duh) tip graciously for the experience you're sure to enjoy!

I have been here 2X once for brunch on Sunday, which was amazing, the food is perfect. I mean perfect. I am a picky eater. I came because they were featured in the New York times and I wasn't disappointed. The second time, I went for dinner. Their soup was so yummy, I was sitting there with my eyes closed making happy noises. Their staff is friendly and attentive, without being intrusive. The bread and cheese appetizer was wonderful. Whenever I go here, I wonder why I don't go more often.

I stopped by MarchÃ© for brunch with a friend over the summer. The place was absolutely packed (it must be extremely popular), but our wait wasn't long and we were seated fairly quickly. Ordinarily I'd order a mimosa, but at $8 or so for a small champagne flute, I decided to order brewed iced tea instead. Born and raised in the South, I'm so used to tea = super-sweet iced tea so I was surprised when my tea arrived unsweetened. Duh, of course...but it had a lovely light flavor which I really enjoyed...nothing like sweet tea at all! I ordered the peaches and ricotta, which were served atop a thick slice of multigrain bread and drizzled with honey. It was literally one of the best dishes I've ever eaten, and heads were turned at nearby tables to gawk at my plate. Visually appealing and delicious! My friend ordered the croissant french toast and said it was great as well. I'd seriously drive the 4ish hours back to Nashville for another order of peaches and ricotta. I wish I'd been able to try other menu items too since they looked like they'd be just as good.

Let's just say that if I am ever to die and be reincarnated as a piece of delicious artisan bread, I shall spend my whole bread life trying and wishing and hoping to become a piece of Marche French toast lightly dusted with powdered sugar and drizzled with maple syrup. Ah. Delish. Visited Marche this morning for brunch with the bf and I must say that we were very, very pleased and impressed. I loved the giant bowl like coffee mug that our lovely waitress refilled very often. And I just spent an entire paragraph describing the French toast...so my thoughts about that are already pretty obvious. Marche is not a big restaurant, but it is filled with farm tables, laughter, and East Nashville's finest. They get really crowded for brunch on Sundays (we'd actually tried to go before and left after discovering that we'd have to wait about an hour...), but if you've got some time, then I say put your name on the list, grab some coffee, and chat with your pals outside.

Really good brunch. This place was on so many lists of must-eats when I was researching things to do in Nashville, so we had to come try! I had the pumpkin-mozzarella panini, which was good and fresh and so fall-y :) The wait wasn't too long either...we got there about 11am on a Saturday and waited maybe 20-30 minutes. Real cute place!

Marche remains to be one of my favorite restaurants in Nashville be it for Brunch, Lunch or Dinner. I simply love this place. Marche is one of these places where you can randomly select items from the menu and you are almost guaranteed to love whatever you selected. I always pick random things from the menu and I have not been disappointed so far. This itself speaks about the quality of this place. The menu is small but they keep changing it every month or so. Everything on the menu is amazing but deserts need to be acknowledged separately. I had the peach cake today and I don't remember having a desert so good in the past several years since I moved to Nashville from Paris (France): it is soooooo good. To summarize, this is one of the very few places where I have always been satisfied and would highly recommend this place.

I'm in town from Chicago and took my parents.....super tasty and great atmosphere. I had scrambled eggs and the farm freshness was amazing. We ordered the croissants and french toast, both very very tasty. We went at 9am on a Friday so great atmosphere although I could see the room getting very loud on the weekends if it were packed. Great experience and will definitely go back. It

There is simply nothing bad about Marche during the week and the place to be on Sundays! The menu items are always a perfect blend of flavors and art. Pushing the envelope for artistic creationism is what is exciting about each and every plate. The coffee is endless and the laughs soon follow. Be sure to check out some of the local, artists, stars, musicians sitting right next to you. This is the place to be seen in East Nash. Also, be sure to bring your reusable grocery bag with you to shop for a few unique and wonderful items presented throughout the restaurant. Overall, this is always a pleasure and great for any type of event you want to celebrate or revel in.

This place won me over with the basket of exquisitely baked breads and home-made preserves. Nothing beats the experience of tearing open a piping hot croissant, smearing it with butter and apricot jam, and washing it down with some strong coffee. YUM!! The other breakfast items we ordered were delicious also. Love the atmosphere, just don't look too hard out the window.

On a busy Saturday night in Nashville, my girlfriend and I had a delicious meal at Marche! Complete with braised short ribs and salmon, we were consistently impressed with the casual setting, gourmet menu, and attentive staff. This restaurant is clearly very well managed and has a magnificent chef crafting the decadent menu.

Delicious food. A bit off the path (which I love) so you'll get to rub elbows with the awesome East Nashville lovely locals. Service was fast, friendly and spectacular. All types dine here. Happy to have sat at a table with another couple and surrounded by 20-something hipsters, upcoming starlets, a fun Indian family and some neighborhood families. I had the egg sandwich. Highly recommend this restaurant. Notes: They didn't seat our party until all 5 of us were there and the line forming behind us grew substantial after 10:30am. No one seemed disappointed to wait, we didn't feel rushed.

Place is jammed on a Sunday am. Not the greatest part of town. Not their fault. Must be good opens at 9 am on Sunday. We get there at 930 and already a half hour wait. Order 2 mochas with skim milk and were told they can't do as its premix and made. Yikes. That'll be $10.90. Admittedly it was really good. With whole milk I suspect so . Ordered the omelette of the day and its made with goat cheese and corn. Comes with a garden salad. Too much goat cheese and the flavoring was too bland. We did split French toast. Yum. Waiter was great. Overall good experience - glad we went. Would get a different option if we go back.

My favorite place in nashville. Absolutely for breakfast. And a little splurge on dinner. The savoury crepes are to DIE FOR. And you have to have croissant French toast at least once. They've got great mimosas and the roasted potatoes are always delish. I also love the mixed greens on the side of most dishes. Gloriously French with an American twist (as to not freak us out too much perhaps).

I really hate to post a bad review because I don't like complaining on social media, but the treatment we received at Marche was just rude. We went on a Sunday morning, so naturally there was a wait. We were told 45 minutes, so we walked around the area and came back after about 40 minutes. We asked the host how much longer and he said we were just a few spots away from being called. I'd like to also add that it seemed the way they keep track of customers is by what they're wearing, so he had down "blue jacket" for my husband. Also, not to play any race cards but we WERE the only Asians in the restaurant that morning. Again, I am not accusing anyone of being racist, I just want to point out that we should have been noticeable. AND I was 8 months pregnant, so I'm just going to say that we were PROBABLY hard to miss. Anyway, of course, 45 MINUTES LATER- after numerous times of making eye contact, going up to the stand (he was busy so we didn't actually talk to him because we were trying to patient and not be rude, so just went to glance at the list), etc, we finally asked again and he said that he called our name multiple times- which, he never once called anyone's name to call for a table. The procedure was that he would look at the list and go find the person wearing whatever description he had written down. The entire time, we stood at the front of the round table closest to the host stand, so we were in clear eye sight. Well, the thing that bothered me the most was that afterwards, he didn't offer an apology or anything, he just looked at us and found a waitress to seat us. A simple "sorry" would have made a huge difference, but nope, nothing, nada. The food was actually pretty good but I really can't rave about that after our experience.

Visited while visiting- great place. Cool loft type spot, filled with good looking local hipsters. Had the savory crepes which tasted like more. Omelette with sweet corn got good reviews as well. Good craft beer list - try the Kentucky Krolsch, nice one for brunch. Service was excellent - attentive and accommodating. Highly recommended!

Alex K.

Cool restaurant. Was looking for something light to eat since I was going to be walking around in the heat afterwards. I ordered the grilled cheese which had Gouda, Avocado, and a spinach salad. I also ordered the tomato soup to go with it. The portions were perfect for walking around town afterwards. My girlfriend ordered the Chickpea and Vegetable salad. It was amazing. I'm fairly sure the dressing was made of angel tears. It's a mist try. They were very busy so we did wait a while, but it's worth the wait.

Daphny L.

I wasn't blown away by my experience here but I definitely see the appeal--it was a pleasant dining experience all around. I had the croissant french toast with eggs and the bread was pretty amazing. It doesn't compare to the bread I had in France but it was definitely among the best I have had state side. I really believe it was a treat considering the price--they could totally charge a lot more. Undercharging for high quality food? People will line up for that

This place is a great concept with very nice menu options. They keep the menu trim and focus on execution. The quiche is fluffy and light, and they offer great coffee and juice. The dining room has great natural light which I enjoy at breakfast.

There were a few things on my list that I had to try when I visited the south. Fried Chicken, Sweet Tea, Pecan Pie, Boiled Peanuts and Shrimp and Grits. I am so happy this was where I had my first taste of authentic southern shrimp and grits. Im sure its a liitle more sophisticated and elegant here than it is at most places but I'm not going to complain about that. I was surprised to find that this was listed on the breakfast menu but am so happy I didn't let that detour me from ordering it so early in the morning. The grits were super creamy. The carmelized onions felt like someone had put some love into em as they melted in your mouth. Big plump pieces of Gulf Shrimp all came together for an amazing breakfast experience. I cleaned my plate. I adore the rustic sparse but elegant decor at Marche. The music selection suits me perfectly as well. I was so surprised to find that it was actually the same music I play for myself when I'm cooking up an elaborate breakfast. A retro mix of Patsy Cline, n bluesy, sassy modern country songs to get ur cookin' on to is also great music to Dine to. I love Nashville. So hip but yet so old fashioned at the same time. Highly recommend Marche.

John S.

Order anything on the menu you won't be disappointed. Found this gem on YELP. We thoroughly enjoyed the Crepe du Jour (goat cheese, spinach, white beans?), omelet du jour (bratwurst, onions and peppers, cheese), peaches and ricotta to share, cucumber sake bloody mary, and coffee. Easily the best omelet "base" (ie. sans innards) I'd had in my life. How do they make it so good? Places like this, where its EASY to give 5 stars, are hard to find. We had about a 20 minute wait. Parking was slightly challenging. Some patrons will share tables with other patrons. We were fortunate to have a table for ourselves next to the window.

Marche is my happy place. I wish they would bring back the classic teapots though. They just added a lovely touch to brunch..and the new ones spill. Given that that's my only complaint, obviously the place is amazing.

Best brunch in Nashville. French toast is a favorite. Can get crowded especially for groups during prime brunch hours. Everything tastes fresh. I love dining here. Took family from out of town here and they loved it. Neat location with walls of windows.

This place has a really elegant southern atmosphere. The inside is really well decorated, you can def tell you are in Tennessee. My coffee was old and not that great. Drew's Brew. Also I ordered something called croissant French toast which I had never had before but combines my two favorite things. It was good but one of the pieces was completely undercooked I would love to blame it on the fact that it was busy but it really wasn't. Atmosphere is better than the food on this particular day

If you like brunch, chances are you have been to Marche. It is one of those hot spots that the brunch crowds can't seem to get enough of. People (including me) have waited in absurdly long lines just to get a bite of their fantastic croissant french toast. To me, it elicited flashbacks to the epic Portlanda Brunch Special. If waiting in line isn't your thing, and you love French bistro fare, Marche at nighttime is a pure delight. Here is something that should come with no shock: We ordered bone marrow for an appitizer. I feel like I should write A Cavewoman's Guide To Nashville: EVERY RESTAURANT THAT SERVES BONES. Marche's bone marrow was served more traditionally, cut horizontally with the bones in chunks. I passed on the bread and just used my fork and tongue to get the fat out. This marrow was served with a lovely smoked sea salt. The salt was pretty amazing, something I never thought I would say about salt. Steve ordered the potato and leek ravioli with gulf shrimp in a tarragon cream sauce. I think he picked it because of the tarragon. The shrimp were cooked beautifully and the ravioli were tender and definitely home made. The cream sauce was lovely and surprisingly perfect for a cold winter night. My only issue was with the size of the portion. It was pretty tiny, even by fancy restaurant standards. They could stand to throw in a few more ravioli. And for another non-shocking event: I ordered duck. This was a duck leg confit with butternut squash and Brussels sprouts in a fig jam. I'm not sure if I have made this clear on the blog, but I'm in love with everything fig related. Figs and ducks happen to be a perfect pairing. Also, the sweetness of the fig jam over the Brussels and squash was heavenly. The duck itself was cooked just the way I like it, pink in the center with lots of crispy fat and skin. I have a soft spot for Marche. It is located on one of the most recognizable corners in East Nashville and vaguely reminds me of a pastry shop where I had breakfast while visiting Paris. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. Steve even picked up a few cookies on our way out to bring home to his parents. If you have only been for brunch, I recommend going for dinner.

To quote a previous reviewer "the food is nothing to write home about". We went for Sunday brunch on my last trip up to Nashville and after the 45 minute wait we were pretty let down with what we got. I haven't been here at any time other than this occasion but they had a very limited menu that offered small portions and high prices. I got the sweet crepes which were tolerable but nothing I would order again. I got the impression that they were just trying to put as many fancy sounding ingredients as they could into each menu item just so they could justify the high prices. My friend is vegan and despite the surplus of hipster waitstaff they did not have much for vegan options. She ended up going with a salad that was served with nice brown edges (always appealing). For $4 she was able to add on 2 small diced red potatoes and for another $4 she was able to add on 5 pieces of asparagus. Our server might have been new as she seemed rather clueless. Sweet girl but not very attentive and brought the wrong items out. On a positive, the interior space was nice and if it could be paired with better food I would probably go back.

I was supposed to have a meeting at Marche at 3pm on a Friday. Almost all the tables were empty and the staff was running around for what appeared to be shift change. I didn't know if I was supposed to take my own seat or wait for service, so I stood at the entrance for a few minutes until successfully flagging down a server after a few fruitless attempts. She apologized, having seen me waiting but too busy to do anything about it until just then. I picked my own table and she brought me a menu and a glass of water - she was very friendly. The person I was supposed to meet was a no-show and didn't answer any calls/texts/emails, but my server was very accommodating for the potentiality of a tardy appearance. I had the spinach torte (tart?) which was delicious!!! From the time I sat down until my empty plate was taken away, service was excellent. I didn't know if I was supposed to go up to the register to pay or wait for my check. After about 7 minutes of waiting, I went up to the register to ask (servers were still running about their own business) and a chef talked to me. When I asked him how/where I pay, he said he had started just a week beforehand and didn't know. That's fair, not at all unusual in food service. He called over another server, who found my server and gave me my check. When I paid it, she, in a very friendly manner, bombarded me with information about Marche. I think she'd realized my experience wasn't great and was overcompensating...when all I wanted was to leave. The food was fantastic, and service isn't great in general during shift change anywhere...but I wouldn't go here alone again.

The wait was about half an hour on a recent Sunday, but we didn't mind because we were able to order coffee while we waited. And the food was more than worth the wait. It was so good, we wanted to come back the next morning, but it was closed for Labor Day. A friend and I split two dishes since we couldn't decide between the two. The polenta with sunny side up eggs in a tomato sauce and the omelette with corn and goat cheese. We each ordered a side of cheese grits, too. The polenta was melt-in-your-mouth perfection and the corn in the omelette added a wonderful crunch. We also ordered the bread for the table, and it was so good. Much better than a typical bread basket, it came with three types of bread and five different spreads. I also had a lemon oatmeal cookie with my coffee while we waited, and that was delicious. My friends and I wanted to try the tres leches cake but were stuffed after brunch. But that just means we will have to come back next time we're in Nashville.

Confession: I haven't eaten eggs in 10 years, but I ate eggs at Marche today. They were fabulous! Besides the eggs I had cheese grits (like a good southern girl) and bacon. The bacon was not as crispy, which is what I like. I know most people don't, so make sure you let them know if you want it more on the crispy side. The cheese grits were surprisingly not very cheesy or flavorful. Considering how good the rest of the food was, I would've expected the grits to be up to par. Otherwise, service was good, and like I said, the first time I've eaten in eggs in years. You can't beat that (no pun intended).

This is my second time visiting marche for dinner and my experiences have been phenomenally consistent. The first time I came with a large group with a reservation, but this time I came on a Friday around 6 pm with no reservation for 2 and was seated immediately. The pasta dish. Oh my god. Upon my first bite, I could tell that this was handmade pasta--the texture and flavors were rich and delightful. They were spot on with the clam linguine pasta special I ordered. Presentation was beautiful too. Marche will be a staple in my list of restaurants that I eat at in nashville.

Simply amazing. Enjoyed Sunday brunch with several friends and all ordered different dishes. Everyone was more than pleased with the entire assortment of items and the atmosphere. Highly recommend hitting this spot on your trip to Nashville.

Best brunch I've had in Nashville so far. Wonderful Saturday brunch, I was probably one of the few college students there. The wait wasn't too long and my waiter was very sweet. The entire place screamed hip and classy - it's a gem of East Nashville. Had a mix of food that I shared with a friend. The sugared grapefruit was delicious as were the crepes and grits. Not much else to say except for the quality of food was magnificent, service was prompt, and I'm looking forward to my next visit here!

We had Saturday brunch. The eggs were not prepared to order. Average meal for a high price.

Came for Saturday brunch -- place was packed. Sat at community table, which I honestly HATE. The only place that gets a pass for this with me is Monell's, because that's the style of restaurant. Down home at grandma's house? Fine. Family style. That makes sense. Expensive brunch place? Let me eat my brunch with my lady friend in peace. That being said, I enjoyed my grits/eggs/bacon. Everything was well cooked and tasted right. Coffee was good. Believe that my paramour enjoyed her food as well. Ultimately? Not killing it for me with brunch. Will investigate other meals.

This place was so good, I got steak and eggs with an iced chai, totally awesome. Only deduction is the waitress was horrified of my boyfriends tattoos. But, if you're a normal person, you are good to go!

MarchÃ© spanned the entire spectrum of eating, from the best of the best - to pretty disappointing - over the course of one brunch We started with chai tea and almond milk lattes. They were HUGE and all kinds of warm and comforting. The coffee was mild and sweet, as was the chai. Seriously, you could probably give a preemie baby a bath in one of those mugs. I ordered the scrambled eggs, biscuit, and cheesy grits as an entree. Five stars for the best cheesy grits in the world. Three women - all born and raised in the South - unanimously agreed, then had the pleasure of watching me eat it all of it. The eggs, on the other hand, were nothing special. They were room temperature and bland. At the far end of the spectrum, the biscuit was cold, hard and mediocre. Considering biscuits have the potential to be the greatest part of any morning meal, I was soul(food) crushed. When the guy next to us was also served a biscuit and gravy, my friend said, "THAT GRAVY LOOKS DISGUSTING." To which I immediately embarrassedly shushed her. She said, "He can't hear me." To which he replied, "It does look pretty gross, but hopefully it tastes good." Takeaway: You may end up sitting very close to strangers, and though the gravy may look like brain matter, volumes matter, too. We also ordered the polenta, which was creamy and super finely ground, served in a savory, spicy red sauce. Tasty, but nothing to write home about. And certainly not cheesy grits. The only real problem with the meal was in the steak and eggs dept. The steak was served super rare instead of medium, as ordered. When it's too early to make a scene, and too early to eat bloody meat, the conundrum is significant. Overall, MarchÃ© has the potential to be great, you just have to know what to order. If you still haven't figured that out, the answer is cheesy grits. The answer is always cheesy grits.

This place felt a little overrated. We went there while passing through Nashville. With so many great reviews this place was a no brainer choice for us. We had the quiche and not only was average, it was also cold. We ordered as well the smoked salmon omelet (where my best guess was that salmon had migrated upstream) not so much of a generous portion. And last but not least was the steak and eggs. This seemed to be a left over from an earlier plate. The stake portion was extremely disappointing ( don't get me wrong, I'm all for portion control). Our 10% tip was not a mistake! was an statement on the quality of the service. Coffee and pastries that we had while waiting 30 min for our table were VERY good.

I feel like I can close my eyes and point to anything on the menu! Coffee and service are always great too. This is definitely what I think about first thing Sunday mornings for brunch!!

Marche deserves 5 stars only because the food is that good. The atmosphere is pretty nice too, but the restaurant isn't prefect. The wait is pretty long and some of the prices are a little ridiculous (e.g., $4 small bottle of mediocre OJ and $5 hot chocolate). I had the half french toast plate and a bowl of granola with yogurt. They were both really good. It's hard to make a french toast dish that really stands out, but they've managed to do it by using croissants.

I'm going to take the road... most traveled and plug east a circular peg into a circular hole. Marche is a fantastic little stop in the East End, and you really have not had fabulous artisan bread or artisan food in Nashville until you stop in at Marche. Let's cover off on the fab: 1. The restaurant is cozy. The restaurant is chic. There are refurbished desk tables as tables, and there are hints of refurb everywhere. Very awesome. 2. Service is impeccable. The entire staff from host(ess), to servers, to cashiers behind the go-counter, and to the chefs in the back are all extremely helpful, all smiles, and our server made suggestions for the entire table to try. 3. The coffee: well, to be honest, I'm not really into coffee. But the glass sizes were amazingly large and companion seemed to really enjoy her pumpkin latte once we found out that drinking coffee like a soup bowl was 'ok' etiquette in Marche. 4. The food is fab-o-licious. Artisan breads, fantastic muffins, homemade granola, eggs over medium cooked perfectly, polenta, sweet potato ravioli, omelettes stuffed with goat cheese and tomatoes, and to die for crepes. Prices are on par with a Panera bread or ABC type place. But Marche is so many levels of class above a Panera that I really shouldn't even be mentioning them in the same review. But just trying to give ya an idea if you're completely unfamiliar with the concept of an artisan food place. This place is a jewel in Nashville. By the way, if eating brunch, it fills up exponentially fast around 11:00 and the wait becomes very long. Arrive early.

Outstanding place to eat. They have the best brunch in town, and dinner there is amazing as well. Very unique, seasonal dishes that are always well thought out and hit the spot. The only reason why I won't give 5, is because they know they are good and treat you like it is a privilege to eat there. I am not one to usually tolerate pretension, but I always make an exception when I eat here.

I have to say... If it was not for the food, I could probably live without MarchÃ©. I have visited two times in the past week on separate days and found the service to be just abysmal. The servers are average and most certainly not instinctive with their service -- in fact, it would be a stretch to say it was even good. There were considerable delays in just greeting the table, let alone taking orders or delivering specific food items. Now... the food -- that is something that is legendary. The quality of the entrees, sides and desserts were fantastic. Between the scrambled hash from Saturday's brunch to the BLT at Wednesday's "ladies who lunch" --I was in heaven. So good, that I would return in the future for 'to-go' orders, It will be sometime before I sit in that cafe again though! Oh.. and God save me from the Peach Marscapone Cake... Just like the delightful Meryl Streep movie from 92... This cake literally is "death becomes her".

went to Marche twice while visiting Nashville for a weekend. The peaches and ricotta is superb. peaches were perfect texture and sweet! the ricotta is homemade and so good... the steak and eggs is the heaviest I tried on the menu, had to get a side of polenta bc so good from the 1st visit. The wait is long but worth it. great mimosas!! Love Marches

My first experience with this European-styled cafe was this morning for brunch with some of my girlfriends. I used Yelp to search for "Brunch" spots and this was at the top of the list. And for good reason! I love places with quaintness and ambiance. I have not traveled to Europe as of yet (boo!), but I like to feel as if stepping into a place like Marche is what it would feel like to be there. We arrived around 10am and really didn't have to wait long at all for a table. I have been told however that if you catch it at a bad time, the wait could be about an hour. One of my girlfriends ordered a starter of Pears and Camember on Toasted Wheat Bread with Honey. A very good combination of flavors! I decided on the half order of Croissant French Toast with warm Maple Syrup and Powdered Sugar and two fried eggs. It was light tasting (not as in calories, just not HEAVY) and DE-licious! The service was excellent and prompt. Marche is a perfect spot for Saturday brunch with the gals! I have been told it's great for any meal really though!

We were in Nashville for one day and I really wanted to choose wisely. I'm so glad I was able to find Marche through Yelp. Since we were there on a Sunday morning there was a bit of a wait( 20min) but once we were seated, it was lovely. Blood orange juice? Yes, please. Cute southern boys in polo and khakis as far as the eye can see? Sweet waitresses with cute accents? Yes and yes. It also doesn't hurt that the food was delicious. It was very hard to choose but I ended up ordering the scrambled egg hash with potato, corn and gruyere cheese. I loved it. The restaurant and the neighborhood don't seem to match up but still a great find.

The food is fresh, local and delicious. The menu rotates, so I can't recommend anything specific, but the salads are always great. Perfect portion sizes, great service, French farm cafe ambiance.

Eating at Marche is a bit like going to your grandmother's house, if your grandmother was a really good cook: the furniture is a bit too fussy and almost everything served has a bit too much butter, cheese, or bacon. Don't get me wrong - the cooking at Marche is top-notch. However, when this place first opened, I had hopes that it would become the de facto commissary for East Nashville - a place where you could stop in and get a relatively inexpensive meal a couple of nights a week. But given how expensive and fatty the menu is, I find myself rarely going to Marche and instead headed to Wild Cow or Silly Goose.

Alishah N.

Marche is a great place for breakfast/lunch/brunch, the only disappointing factor recently is that's grown in popularity, which really has caused the wait times to sometimes be a little on the ridiculous side. Weekend brunches with 4+ people can sometimes end up being frustrating when it takes more than an hour to be seated. The food is great, but when it's brunch it can sometimes be tough to justify that long of a wait, when Nashville has a few others to offer (including the sister-restaurant Margot which often doesn't have as long a wait).

Breakfast, Lunch, or Supper, MarchÃ© offers a delicious, consistent experience. High on the list of reasons we wanted to move to East Nashville, MarchÃ© is the sweet younger sister to elegant and established CafÃ© Margot just around the corner in Five Points. Since moving to East Nashville, we're now "locals," and we typically avoid MarchÃ© on Sunday mornings for brunch. While it is worth the wait (especially if you have family or friends in town who need impressing) 30-45 minutes around peak brunch time on Sunday can be hard to take. If brunch is your thing, go on Saturdays and go early: 9:30-10am. Breakfast and Lunch during the week are slightly less crowded, and supper (served until 9pm) is your absolute best bet for beating a wait. The menu here changes monthly (whereas big sister Margot changes theirs nightly) and some dishes who get their start at Margot have a way of turning up on the menu at MarchÃ© from time to time in some form. Tonight when we were in, we started with Beau Soliel oysters with prosecco mignonette, accompanied by glasses of Sophia Coppola sparkling wine. The oysters were firm and sweet and the mignonette (a tart, vinegary compliment laced with a little onion) were very nice. I hate oysters which are too "snotty," and prefer firmer ones: these were great. For dinner my husband had the bratwurst, with lentils, oven roasted tomato and warm mustard vinaigrette. The dish was was hearty, yet the vegetables kept it bright and not heavy. With the beer pairing of New Belgium Hop-Tober, it was excellent. I went with the Painted Hills hanger steak (one of my favorite cuts of meat), served with boulangere potatoes, garlic green beans and radicchio. I've had Painted Hills steak at MarchÃ© a few times and this one was excellent: the kitchen knows how to do a good cut of meat justice, cooked it a perfectly medium-rare. The wine pairing was a 2006 Gladuim, La Mancha, Tempranillo, a juicy wine with good acidity that held up well to the steak. For dessert, we both went with the butternut squash tart with cinnamon whipped cream. The crust is made with oatmeal and the flavor was similar to pumpkin, with a slightly lighter finish. I loved it and daresay I could eat a whole pie by my lonesome. Delicious! MarchÃ© never disappoints.

Having just had a baby it's tough to get out for nice dinners (even though our little one is pretty chilled out) because 1) it's weird taking a baby into a fine dining establishment and 2) most fine dining establishments aren't equipped to deal with a poop blowout. So, we've found ourselves doing a lot of breakfast lately and we decided to hit Marche on a Sunday morning for brunch. Not only are the food and service amazing, but the atmosphere is great and its perfect for kids - in fact, I think the kids may have outnumbered the adults on our last visit. I had the best steak and eggs I've ever had, and the gazpacho was perfect. Plus, this is one of the few restaurants in town that serves brewed coffee that doesn't suck. It gets busy but if you can manage to get there when they open at 9 you'll have no problem getting in without a wait.

Rob J.

My family and I were strolling through the east end one evening with no intention of stopping to eat but when we saw this little gem we had to stop in and try it. The beautiful unassuming decor was part modern but part rural chic and the largely french inspired menu beckoned us to come in and give it a try. Snacks quickly turned into a three course meal and a botle of wine and evening cafe au lait, as each course just kept getting better and better. I'm a creme brulee fanatic and Marche's was one of the better ones I've had. The staff couldn't have been nicer either. My daughter knocked over a one of their glass table decorations and it was quickly cleaned up. I became very uncomfortable just due to my personality, but the staff quickly took my comfort level back to relaxed which is no small task. Next time we're in the area we'll definitely be revisiting Marche...this time hopefully without the kids.

Marche is like Margot's casual cousin. But one of many good things I can say about Marche is that it lacks the mincing, inattentive jackhole servers that infest Margot. They are a great place to hit for lunch or brunch, I believe they recently started serving dinner on certain nights. They have a compact but well-thought-out menu that changes frequently. I've been very impressed with their soups as well. They also go for the whole localvore movement, so most of the ingredients come from the area. Last time I went to meet my wife for lunch, I had an Italian sandwich which was on a fresh roll. The real winner was the tomato that was on the sandwich. It was as big around as my face and clearly homegrown. A nice, generous, beefy steak-cut of a slice that I considered leaving my wife for. As for her, she had some sort of roasted eggplant sammich that had pesto and was to die for. She as well confessed thoughts of infidelity upon ingestion. Nice to have vegetarian options that are not total culinary crap, like say at 'The Wild Cow' (couldn't resist a jab). For dessert she got the Peach Yogurt cake, which sounds disgusting to me, but was actually quite delicious. The peaches were clearly fresh and could not have ended up in a better situation. Our server was sweet and personable, and very frank about her thoughts on menu items. I love it when a server can speak with honesty, intelligence and experience to help guide a selection, rather than push whatever the kitchen needs to get rid of. They also have a small market of fancy foods/ local products, which is nice, but certainly no deals (I think they sell Benton's for twice what you can get it for directly from the source). A nice touch, but better for browsing than purchase. Parking is also great.

Melissa W.

Wow, Great food for Sunday brunch! I had the parmesean polenta/fried eggs and mushroom ragu and really could not get enough. The dish had so much flavor it was amazing. I will have to go back for lunch and dinner to see what else is in store. The bread basket is okay with raisin bread and multi grain pieces, but someone at the table got the salmon on crostini which was on a challah type bread and everyone RAVED. As suggested we arrived at 8:55AM and got in the first seating.

Everytime I'm in Nashville, I dine at Marche. This place is delicious. It's portions and food are perfect. I only thing I would say is that dining room is VERY loud when it is packed with people.

It's not fancy and its badass. The finesse, attention to detail, and knowledge of how to ACTUALLY cook something is refreshing in a town that more often than not doesn't jack about a crepe for example. Its for the in-crowd. Its for the out-crowd. And that's the point. The waiters r what non-east-siders would classify as cool. They're super nice, really professional, and replete of that snobbish hipster attitude that so many other hip places seemingly bathe in. They don't trick you into thinking something is great bc there's some exotic ingredient or technique. They don't overcrowd the plate or overwhelm u with choices. All the food is so fresh that I keep looking for the garden in the parking lot or on the roof or something. Margot is part owner and in my opinion this is the much more compelling and satisfying of her two places. And I really like Margot (one of the best date places in town). Order whatever you're in the mood for. Close youre eyes and imagine what you want to eat at that exact moment. Go for lunch/b'fast. But don't forget about the dinner menu. Its inexpensive and out of this world good. For those of you who care a lot (aka too much) about decor...if you don't like the layout, well, then plainly you're not the kind of person anyone with a little hint of cool and good taste would ever want to have a beer with. Whoever's mother this is should be very proud. 1FF

Uh, this place is incredible. My parents who come from a major city and are very cultured foodwise, fell in love with Marche. We went on a beautiful Sunday afternoon for brunch and had enough food to keep us full until dinner time and every dish we had (and barely shared) melted in our mouth. I now visit once a month or as often as I can! Love.

One of my Favorite Breakfast/ Brunch/Lunch places in Nashville! Very Foodie Friendly! If you love Fresh, Local, Homemade, food that you savor and experience- this is your place. If you're looking for huge portions and cheap prices just to shovel in your mouth and be on your way, look elsewhere.

Great coffee, fresh & wonderful bread, seasonal menu borders on frou-frou. (a member of my party once ordered bone marrow) The place is ABSOLUTELY PACKED on the weekend and they don't take reservations. Not only is the food tasty, but they sell breads, meats, spreads and cheeses. Not a bad place to go if you're trying to impress someone. You might even spot a country music star!

Yum! The food was perfect - if you're either a meat eater or vegetarian. Eating vegan here during Saturday brunch time is difficult - but, not impossible. The service was great, and I loved that we could get coffee while we were waiting on a table (around 30 minutes - to be expected when the food and service is good!).

Linda N.

We went here after not getting to Margot's early enough. Same owners. Nice, open, retro-feeling space. Fans...no AC. I had the swiss chard, potato, and feta crepes with the cherry tomato sauce. Really good. I also tried the cheese grits...some of the best I've tasted. Must have a lot of cheese and/or butter! Water and juices were lukewarm (literally)...not sure what the refrigeration system is there. Also, a small kitchen so they don't cater to special ordering/substitutions. Cute, albeit pricey gift area at the front entrance while you wait for space at a community table. I bought some Olive + Sinclair chocolate bars, which proceeded to melt in my luggage...but reformed at 30,000 feet. Yummy after all.

A great place to meet friends, have lunch, people watch, enjoy high quality food, shop for unique food items and soak up the relaxing and convivial atmosphere. We went whole hog at lunch today, meaning coffee, appetizer, main course and dessert. I thought the portions were just right for the ingredients and the price charged. I mean, we ended up needing a to-go box! I came into this deal knowing that the food would be a notch or five above the typical meat and three joint, and Marche fully met and even exceeded our expectations. The omelets and fried eggs were made from fresh eggs and were expertly cooked. The chorizo was tasty. The artisan cheese plate, now that was definitely way above average. The coffee was a unique, strong-flavored brew like Starbucks but better. The dessert display is beautiful, and the raspberry cheesecake tart split four ways was a great ending to the feast. The place was full when we got there, the waitress said expect to wait on the weekend. I am glad that Nashville has businesses like this one that pull together high quality food and food items that are from a variety of cultures. This establishment would not be out of place in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, or any other epicurean-focused population center.

Maybe a long wait, noisy dining area but there is a reason why. The food is fantastic! Visited repeated times for brunch and was never disappointed! Even after a hour long wait. Delicious, simple food that does not bore the palate. Will be back as a stand by many times! Try their breakfast crepe of the day or peaches on toast... amazing!

This place reminds me a lot of Foster's Market in Durham, NC - delicious, fresh, and oh, yea - fresh! It's a bit of a trek if you're staying in a hotel downtown, but very worth the cab ride. (I wouldn't walk the 2 miles, because the area between the city and the restaurant was a bit desolate. This place was recommended to us by Roman Candle's lead singer Skip. They're based out of Nashville and were really helpful. If you can get there on your next visit to Nashville - do it! Awesome food and great atmosphere. My wife and I had strawberries and cheese on homemade wheat bread with a side of vanilla yogurt and granola (also homemade) and a fresh corn and spinach omelette with ricotta cheese.

Stefanie P.

Cute brunch place. Your mom will love it. Perfect to take parents or out of town guests. The Brunch menu is always changing and there is always a special. Price is about $9 for an entree, and there's even brunch appetizers! The coffee came in a huge mug and was delicious. Get there early because this place fills up fast. I'm pretty sure this place gets all their food and stuff locally but there are most def some healthy options for breakfast. The fact that the word "artisan" is in the name of the place pretty much sums it up. FAN-CY breakfast bunch lunch place!

Michael S.

I came here for lunch a while back. I was impressed with the knowledge that the wait staff had. She was able to explain each dish to me. The food is very clean. I had a burger, on the menu it says pasture fed. I had no idea what that meant. Basically it means the cows aren't fed slop and they are housed in a "stress free" environment. This keeps toxins out of the meat. I would give it 5 stars but I dont like the location.

Stopped for Sunday Brunch. Started with coffee drinks - hot chocolate and latte were tasty. Croissant French toast - half order was one croissant split in two slices - yum! Tween daughter enjoyed chocolate croissant and bacon. Husband liked Salmon Tartine, but not enough salmon. Very reasonable prices.

Catherine S.

I would have to say, I think Marche is a bit over-rated. They have maybe a couple things that I enjoy off of the menu, but who wants to go to a place where there is a small chance of ordering something that tastes decent? I must say... their cucumber sake bloody mary's are great. Service is also good... and New York Times says it's one of the top 10 places to visit in Nashville, so you don't have to go by my word... The 3 or 4 visits I have made there have not been impressive though.

Came here for breakfast with my honey since our kiddo was at school. What a yummy breakfast! I orders the egg hash scramble and the hubs the croque madame. We split a side of the sausage, that was the only downfall to our meal as neither of us enjoyed the sausage. But considering that was the only thing we disliked. Coffee is outstanding, service was on point. I understand why this is a busy spot for breakfast/brunch in E Nash.

Tramaine W.

I didn't like this place and the other people I ate with really didn't like this place. I understand what they are trying to do but it didn't work. I have been to places where what they are trying to pull off succeeds and this is a far ways away. In short, I just didn't like the taste of the food. From the bread they served us that came mid way through our meal to the not so fresh tasting tiramisu. The only thing I enjoyed was the broth and bread that my mussels came with. The pot roast and polenta I ordered just didn't fly and I found the cheeses and toast my mother ordered to be severely overpriced. The thing that really solidified my review was the poor service of our waitress. She was very somber, quiet talking and a little uninterested. She took forever to pay us any attention and as I mentioned before took forever to bring us cold sourdough bread. This place definitely made me lose hope in the Nashville section of Yelp. I mean this place is rated very highly and I don't know why, I can show you comparable places in Atlanta that would blow this place out the water.Maybe it is better at brunch but dinner is a no go.

Cat S.

Great food and great service. We ordered chocolate croissant, croissant French toast, omelet du jour--Broccolini with Swiss cheese, and savory crepe du jour--stuffed with yellow squash. Everything tasted great. The chocolate croissant was not crunchy enough, but they did use the right kind of chocolate which made it awesome. The $4 noble blood orange juice was too little for the price. However, everyone was very friendly and helpful. My hot water was replaced before it went cold. This is definitely the place to start a great Saturday.

Eliza R.

Best brunch I've ever had, hands-down. I would honestly go to Marche more often if there wasn't always an atrocious wait for a table. When the weather is pleasant, I've seen the wait line go out out this door. This ain't no Pancake Pantry! Anyway, the atmosphere is chic and casual, the service is surprisingly quick once you get seated, and the food and coffee is always fresh and delish. I love the savory crepes, omeletes, and crescent rolls the most. I've never been here for lunch or dinner, but I'd wager to say it is as amazing as Marche's breakfast items.

Jennifer C.

Stop reading this review and go eat at Marche NOW! I went for Sunday brunch and it was definitely packed but I only waited about 30 minutes. You can get a coffee or another drink and even a pastry or snack while waiting. I say go for a hot chocolate with the marshmallow - it's sinful how good it is. I perused the brunch menu (it changes) probably the entire 30 minutes and still ended up ordering a few different things because everything sounded so good. For my main dish I ordered a cauliflower, caramelized onion frittata which was great. It was a little cold when I got it which is my one and only complaint about my meal. They had a delicious sweet potato soup with chorizo which was out of this world. And I had to try a side of grits because everyone raved about them. They were super creamy and yummy. I wanted to go back the next day it was so good. I'll definitely be stopping by here again when I'm in Nashville.

We visited again today but after noon and there was a much shorter wait, We started with Cappuccino, which was excellent. We shared a bread basket served with five little spreads from butter to Nutella and it was a nice assortment. My wife had the Hoagie and I had the Gruyere strata (Crunchy cheese bread pudding with egg, brown gravy and mushrooms) which was a fine combination and I recommend it. Our waitress Ami, was informative but not intrusive. Very limited free parking but there is a paid lot directly across the street.

Marche never disappoints me. Every time I go, the menu is somewhat different. The ingredients they use are local and fresh. I especially love their soups! Last time, I had a sweet potato soup with chorizo and spinach. It sounded weird but tasted divine! The time before that, I also had a soup, I don't remember what ingredients were in it though, however, it was delicious as well. I also had their steak and eggs... the eggs! I always get sunny side up with the gooey yolk running all over my steak... yum! I tried their croissant french toast as well, it was so simple, classic, but so good!

LOVE MarchÃ©! Iced coffee. CrÃªpe with duck, white bean, Manchego cheese and tomato sauce. Omlette with gruyÃ¨re and ham. Hot, straight from the oven almond croissant. Could not dream of a more perfect French lunch! The food was beyond tasty. The place is cute. The staff is very "French", and lovely. Will definitely come back because this place has stolen my heart, and my 5 out of 5 stars.

I went there for the first time a few weeks back. I ordered the Trout Hash and it melted in my mouth! It was amazing. They also serve Drew's Brew coffee which is so smooth and delicious. I can't wait to go back here again.

This is my favorite restaurant in Nashville. Great, laid-back atmosphere. Great people-watching. Fantastic food. I love the crepes and the chocolate croissant. The "bowl" of coffee is an experience. The pear, Camembert and honey appetizer is one of my favorite appetizers of all time.

I came to town on business and found this spot via yelp. The door man or cabby had never heard of it and boy did I tell them about it. I had a business breakfast and the noise level was fair and the wait staff very attentive yet allowed us to conduct our business. We each had the omelet of the day ham and mushrooms and were very happy. We ended up buying some treats for the road. Everyone should go!

All I have to say is that I left Marche with a stomachache, ripped tights (from the chair), and $50 poorer. I desperately want to like Marche and I have had a couple of dinners that have been good, but this last visit was such a disaster that I don't think I'll be going back. The service was abysmal, my food was under seasoned and drowning in butter and I only have myself to blame if I keep giving it "one more chance". Thankfully we have so many other options on East Nashville, I feel confident that I won't miss taking this place off my list.

Excellent brunch! I've not been to this place for dinner or anything else, so this may not be a fair review. The sausage at this place is amazing. It comes out on a plate with a huge knife and it's not a tiny little tube. It's huge! (That's what she said.) The mimosas are wonderful with your choice of blood orange or pomegranate. I had both... about 6 or so. Great atmosphere, a little loud, worth the money. Very busy on the weekends, but worth the wait.

I rarely go out for breakfast at breakfast. An exception was made and Marche was decided upon. It's been recommended more than once and I'm glad I stopped by. It was pretty busy, and even so we were seated within 10 or 15 minutes. We had the bread basket, which was 6 half slices of bread (2 challah, 2 raisin, 2 wheat) with an assortment of fresh peanut butter, honey, apricot preserves, whipped butter, and nutella. Simple, but a nice starter and I did like the variety. I had the fried egg on top of pork on top of toast. The listed sauce, which I don't recall (see next phrase), was seemingly non-existent. Chimichurri, sofrito, what was it? Regardless, it was tasty. Breakfast-mate had the hash (eggs, chorizo, peppers, potatoes, onions). While the eggs were slightly under for my taste, it was good. The spice from the chorizo held everything together quite nicely. Service was excellent. It is a bit pricey but not shocking. I want to go back and try other things.

It's really nice when traveling to find a good quality restaurant after being on the road for 10 hours. We attempted to visit several other restaurants but they were all closed but we happened to drive by this one to give it a chance and it was well worth it. The waitress was excellent. She knew about all the items on the menu was able to help us decide what we wanted. I had the swiss chard tart. A savory piece of tart with mushrooms and just enough egg not to over power the green apples and cheese. My traveling partner had the Mushroom tartine which was excellent as well. The halloumi cheese in the tartine complemented the mushrooms well. To top it off I had a very rich hot chocolate to go, it was dark yet sweet enough to satisfy my sweet tooth. The other items offered looked delicious as well and left me pining for more, but unfortunately we had another 5 hours of driving to go.

Definitely my new favorite brunch spot -- and lots of other people's judging by how crowded it is. I think I've gotten omelets both times which were ok, but I might recommend trying something else. Not that it wasn't good, but I can't say it was the best omelet I've ever had. My friend and I also find it odd that they wouldn't sub or take anything out of the omelets -- she's a vegetarian. They must premix them or maybe just don't want to bother with special orders since we got rebuffed. The pastries and such are amazing, however. My friend and I got this lovely fresh pear with mascarpone and honey over some kind of bread. Delicious. I could have had five of those and been happy with my coffee. I'd try to get there very early for brunch or expect a wait. Although both times I've waited, I got seated much faster than the quoted time. One time the hostess told me 45 minutes that ended up being more like 10 which was a happy surprise. Margot and Marche are both awesome spots to go in East Nashville. I would say Marche is a bit expensive, but that's why it's a treat when I go instead of an every week habit.

Fannnnntastic. We don't live in Nashville, so we chose our brunch spot from among a flurry of recommendations from friends. Our first choice -- which I can't even remember the name of, now -- was closed, so we went with #2. I can tell you this: Marche will never again be #2. Everything ordered by everyone was delicious. I had the sweet crepes, my wife had the savory. You couldn't pick a favorite. The iced coffee in its wine glass was precious, but delicious. My son's standard bacon, eggs, and grits were surprisingly tasty, especially the cheese grits, which were a revelation. Even my wife's side of roasted potatoes had us shaking our heads in amazement. On a different note, the service was great despite the place being absolutely slammed. Beautiful space, too. Definitely recommended!

This is all my bf has talked about trying, so we finally went for Sunday brunch. We missed the long line that's usually there for brunch, so that was cool.I ordered the American breakfast it was scrambled eggs, Parmesan cheese grits, chicken sausage and blood orange juice. Eh it was ok, nothing spectacular. My bf ordered the lemon raspberry crepes. It was good. So overall The waitress was very nice and quick service. I might go back and try something different.

Excellent food (best grits I've ever had....and I don't even like grits! Just happen to have it with the rest of the ordered dish). Nice atmosphere, too.

We decided to stop in this past Saturday after a 5k at Shelby Park. We've read good things about their brunch and we were in need of a re-charge, so it was a no brainer. The expectations were pretty high, as we had a great dinner experience here a year or so back. I can say, with out a doubt, that those expectations were exceeded by miles. We started off with a shared plate of Peaches and Ricotta. The dish was presented on artisan toasted wheat, spread with lightly sweetened Ricotta(think cannoli filling), with fresh sliced peaches layered on top, and drizzled with local honey. It was such a simple dish, but the freshness of the ingredients and the way they were handled, made for the perfect start to our brunch. For main courses we went with the Open Faced Brisket Sandwich, Croissant French Toast(half order), Pimento Grilled Cheese and a side of Falls Mill Cheese Grits. We wanted to keep it light, haha. I'll start by saying that the Brisket Sandwich is by far the best savory breakfast item I've ever had. Toasted Italian bread, topped with roasted brisket, au jus, and two fried eggs...amazing. The brisket was cooked perfectly, pull apart tender and had tons of flavor(caramelized onions and red wine really stood out). The fresh eggs were fried exactly as ordered and really complemented the brisket. The best part of the dish had to be getting down to the bread that had been soaking in the jus, under all that brisket. Along with a side of creamy cheese grits, this was breakfast perfection. The Croissant French toast was another hit. A perfectly flaky croissant, dipped in french toast batter and served with real maple syrup(amen). The buttery pasty was the perfect vessel for french toast, I can't believe I've never tried this before. My only regret was getting the half order. The Pimento Grilled Cheese was possibly one of the best I've had(though we haven't made it to the Grilled Cheeserie yet...gasp...I know). The sandwich was toasted just right and the flavor of their pimento spread was outstanding. I'm not sure what kind of cheese was used, but it was slightly smokey and it really made the dish. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. Everything we ordered was on point and the service was great. They started to get extremely busy about 20-30 minutes into our meal, but the server never skipped a beat. I'm ashamed that it took us so long to try the brunch here at Marche and I'll use any excuse I can to get back as soon as possible.

Valeria M.

Worth the wait. Simple, fresh and always hits the spot. Friendly staff keeps service moving. If you see the peach tartine on the menu - get it. Toasted grain bread, fresh ricotta, the most in-season sliced peaches, drizzled with local honey. Heaven on a plate. Savory crepe is also a must!

Mariel J.

Marche Artisan Foods was a really cute place - it almost felt like you were just eating in someone's house - the kitchen was in the same room as all of the diners - and the service was great. I shared the roasted delicata squash salad, pumpkin and mascarpone tortelloni, shortribs, and a flatbread that was the special of the night. All very good and reasonably priced! Great service, too (our waitress even helped us figure out where to go nearby to listen to live music).

i met some girlfriends here for my birthday lunch, and it was oh-so-lovely. we started off with morning drinks--who wouldn't want to start every morning with a drink? and had appetizers of the apple and brie toast and their toast basket with: in house made marmalade, peanut butter, whipped butter, and hazelnut spread. i ordered a pumpin tart (it had bacon in it!), but regretted that after my first bite :( i'm super sensitive to salt, and the salt taste was overwhelming. i didn't complain about this (because it's my preference to not care for saltiness), but when i server saw that i had not eaten hardily any of it, she inquired. i told her the deal and she offered to bring me something else; however, i was already full from a drink, and lots of hot tea, and brie and toast...so i passed. she came back and said that the chefs tasted the other tart, and agreed it was way too salty, and they were actually pulling it from the menu for that day, and took it off my bill. everything else was amazing, my friend's dishes were splendid, and so forth. i'd still go back. :)

The Chorizo Burger is melt in your mouth delicious & the Pear Mimosa is a cold, crisp, glass of happiness! Worth the wait.

Marche would absolutely get 5 stars but I'm deducting a star based upon lack of a seating area for the wait that's sure to follow being checked in. That being said the food and wait staff deserve the 4 stars. The vanilla latte I enjoyed while I waited for my table helped the time pass. After being seating I had the apples and Brie which was just perfectly served on top of toasted cinnamon raisin bread. My husband loved his croissant French toast. Will return but it's a little trek to get back to east Nashville.

Kathryn H.

The wait on Sunday can be very long, however there is plenty of coffee to drink while you wait and you can even try the delicious bakery treats too. The 80s/90s dance mix made the wait much more fun! I ordered a breakfast of eggs, bacon, and cheese grits and it was just as it sounds- simple & delicious! The servers are friendly and prices are on par with the quality of food. I did feel like I was in a Parisian cafÃ© right here in Nashville. I've had lunch here and it is much less crowded, and the food is equally as delicious. The salads are wonderful! Marche is a great place to take out of town visitors when they come to Nashville.

The food and atmosphere are good, but be prepared for hipster attitudes and a long wait. And definitely NOT accommodating for larger groups. After an hour and a half wait, we felt rushed to order and rushed out by the staff. We ended up having to split our group off into two separate tables. Not ideal. Personally this ruined our brunch.

One and Done! Visiting Marche's has been on my mind for awhile because of the wonderful reviews, referrals from friends, and the sister entity to one of my favorite Nashville restaurants, Margot CafÃ©; so we headed across the river this Sunday afternoon. I always enjoy promoting restaurants to friends and clients but this will not be a good recommendation. So much going for Marche' Artisan Foods - location, great vibe, lively atmosphere, prompt service and friendly staff. But it is about the food and it was mediocre at best. We had entrees of steak and eggs and frittata. The steak was tuff, dry and not prepared per order. I was more satisfied eating Steak and Eggs at the Waffle House (now granted it was 3am and my taste buds were most likely skewed). The sauce was overly seasoned, dry and old roasted potatoes, the eggs were extremely runny beyond the yolks, and the frittata was very, very dry. This is rare for me to write a poor review and maybe it was just a bad day and timing at the restaurant. After all, this place is highly recommended by a lot of Nashvillians, but for me I was underwhelmed and my visit is one and done!

Marche was awesome. We visited Nashville for four days and Marche was one of my favorite eating experiences. We had Saturday brunch there on 12/21. The place is eclectic and small; the hipsters were there in droves. The only negative was they place is very loud but that did not cause the loss of a star. My favorite was the coffee, Drews Brews Thick French which was strong but not bitter. We bought three bags of beans for gifts. We had a little of everything: croissant pancakes, eggs, sausage (both pork and chicken), croissant roles, and even the organic oatmeal. The orange marmalade was outstanding. All very good. The desserts looked good but we didn't partake. Service was good and the price was reasonable for what we received. Our waitress was very friendly and was knowledgeable about ingredients and dishes. Tableware and linens were clean and neat. Expect a wait if you arrive prime time, but I would say its worth it.

Heather F.

Very pleased with Marche. The waitstaff was nothing but nice and all smiles. The food was really amazing. I had the meatloaf sandwich. The only thing that would have made it perfect would have been tomato sauce/ketchup but I'm not sure how French that would be. They make a lot of their stuff from scratch. Example their jelly is canned homemade. I love to can myself and can appreciate getting to experience the real thing vs store bought. The mini general type store up front was cute and would be a great place to grab a gift for somebody. The only downside to Marche is that it is very popular and isn't super big so there will probably be a wait. That's okay though because it will be worth the wait.

Anne M.

Yummy yummy in my tummy. I take everyone I know to Marche! Yes, they typically have a wait (at least 30 minutes every time I've been) for brunch. Though if you want to go in the evening for dinner you can always just walk right in. I always have great tasting food and a great experience!

Vanessa G.

I ADORE this place! It's a 10 every time we visit. We visited today and enjoyed the savory crepes and frittata. While the service is a tad slow, the food never disappoints. We live on the West Side and I wish they open up a "Marche West".

It's like everywhere has brunch these days. I think they're now serving brunch at the Sunoco by my apartment. Everyone wants in that brunch game. But you know what? Not everywhere is cut out to serve the fine brunch that is deserving of people who just really need to get away on a Sunday morning for some fancy feast and a seven dollar possibly alcoholic drink. This looks like a negative review, but bare with me! I am a man dammit. Give me some bacon and eggs and let me get on with it. I don't need to make an event out of it. However, I understand that to keep up with the ones I love, I must get on the brunch train and keep my mouth shut. That said I am thankful for you, Yelp. You provide a forum for me to voice my thoughts. You listen to me, Yelp. Marche is a worthy brunch venue. The atmosphere is naturally bright and open. The menu has a nice balance of items. Our waitress kept the coffee coming and had a smile on her face. That goes a long way. Ratings: Atmosphere: great Menu: decent Coffee: eight Friendship: unlimited Gift shop: sure Taste: tasty Thank you, Marche. You set the bar for brunch.

Popular place. Hip clientele. There was a bit of a line. But the food was worth the wait. I had a delicious tartine with strawberries, balsamic reduction, and mascarpone. The restaurant also includes a little store where you can buy candy and condiments. I would definitely go back.

Caitlin C.

I REALLY hope we came on an off night because seriously this was completely unexpected and upsetting. -Friends birthday: we had a late evening reservation, it took twenty minutes to be seated and we didn't eat for another hour and a half. -Service was SLOW and they were rude when we asked where a cheese plate was. When the cheese plate came out, it was a slice of cheese and some jam. That is not a cheese plate, that is a cheese sample - change your menu wording. -They either cooked the peas to death or used frozen peas in my Prosciutto and pea tortellini. The dish was flavorless and shriveled. -The side of new potatoes that came with a friends overly salted fish were definitely burnt. The only redeemable factor were their desserts. After a very sad experience at Marche for dinner, I think I'll stick to their brunch, or only make early evening reservations.

Hands down best Brunch spot in Nashville. Amazing staff and delicious grub. Get there early on the weekend and order multiple items to share. Favorites: The Tartine (ridiculous), the savory crepe (changes) and the croissant french toast (duh - this... THIS). We also have a special place in our hearts for Ashley & Evelyn - these ladies ALWAYS help make our experience amazing.

I finally made it to the mecca of East Nashville brunch places and my only real complaint is that its such a drive for me...though I'm sure my waistline is ok with that. Oh MAN the food here is so good!! Yeah, its small inside and yeah, it gets super busy, but if you can get there early enough to beat the rush, have some of their yummy coffee to wake you up, you will not be disappointed. Stellar service, delicious food, and a little bake shop inside along with the ability to purchase other local artisan foods makes Marche a must-go for any weekend. I highly recommend having toast with their homemade pear jam. And purchasing some of it on your way out to get you through until the next visit. The do basic breakfast food (including the best grits I've ever had, and I hate grits normally) and lovely brunch-style options (like the best steak and eggs ever conceived by man). So it gets loud and crowded, who cares when you find a little slice on heaven in great food and service. I will happily wait for a table to enjoy another experience like that again. And it will have to be soon, I am running low on pear jam!!

My friend and I tried this place out for the first time while I was in town. We ordered the fennel sausage flatbread as a starter. It was tasty and had a little bit of a kick to it (just the right amount). The braised rabbit was excellent! It was really tender! We ordered the spiced apple cake and nectarine cream cheese galette for dessert. The apple cake was ok; nothing spectacular. Nectarine cream cheese galette was bland and shouldn't really be listed as a dessert option. I'd come back to try their other entrees. It looks like it changes every month.

I'd give Marche 4-5 stars if it didn't boast the same sub-par service as Margot. Two of us went on a Sunday for brunch. It was pretty busy and we were told that the wait would be 30 minutes. An hour later, we were still waiting and others who had just arrived were being seated. The hostess explained, as if we were idiots, that not enough "two-tops" were ready. I'm still trying to understand why they would rather us wait twice as long as they quoted instead of seating us at a table that could also seat three or four. They must enjoy making customers unhappy. Our server barely noticed us and took 10 minutes to pour a cup of coffee. She managed to get our orders right, but she was mostly MIA the entire time. Our food really was great-- I got the cheese grits, scrambled eggs, and bacon. My dining companion got the omelette with country ham and cheese. We shared the half potion of the French toast. It was delicious and very satisfying! So our food was good, and our table was good. I just can't understand why the customer service always has to suck so badly. It's pretty much a guarantee that if I take a chance and dine in East Nashville, I'm going to get snotty, rude servers who want me to know that this job is beneath them. I don't care if it's beneath you. Get it together and work for your tips, or don't do the job. You're not entitled to 20%!

So delicious and fresh. Their menu is so innovative and yummy. We went for Brunch and there was no wait and we were a party of 8 people.

Definitely borders on the Portlandia level of crunchy farm-to-table vibe, but the food was incredible. Had the Moroccan Chicken Sandwich and Stratta and were blown away by both. The coffee was great and bread plate delicious as well.

Janet Y.

I didn't know how Marche was going to live up to expectations and hype, but WOW! It certainly did. Let's just start by saying the food was pretty exceptional. I really didn't know how an egg biscuit could be extraordinary, but it was... especially when the egg/ham/tomato is on a delicious cheddar polenta biscuit! DRooOL. After seeing the croissant french toast on the menu, I couldn't resist. I got half an order of that too. What a great decision. YUMMMMMM! I pretty much licked off BOTH plates I ordered. Our server was really nice, but we did have a tiny run in with another employee early on. Apparently they won't seat you until your entire party is there, and he wasn't too patient that we didn't know that. Tip: Sunday morning-- Marche opens at 9 am, and there was already a line around the building. Come early and be ready for a wait!

Patten F.

I'm from the South. Until I actually set foot in this place, I thought it was "March" and not "Mar-shay"...because I come from the Athens of the South and I'm all educated and junk. We stopped in after a run all sweaty and hungry. On this morning, we were the "East Nasties" because...well, we were sweaty and wanted eggs. I got an omelette with a side of bacon. The omelette was omeletteriffic and the bacon had clearly been cut and designed by the bacon artisans that they keep on staff in the back of the store. Okay, probably not, but it was still pretty "clutch", as they say in 2003. The best part is that you get heaping loads of coffee in big mugs. The coffee has also most likely been steeped and brewed by Trappist Monks in the bowels of the Marche' building. Or, if nothing else, it's good...and you get lots. Oh! And there's bread and it's so good it almost makes you stabby. It is a wee pricey though, but it's totally worth it. For a person that stayed away from East Nashville for almost 30 years, it's really growing on me and Marche' is another tally on my list of why I was wrong about East Nashville.

Let me keep it short for you - food is excellent, service is efficient, atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired. Noisy and awkward. The floor plan is way too open and the strangers too close. Momma said never talk to strangers but here - they can hear EVERYTHING! Don't be telling any secrets in here!

Great food, but terrible service. Although food was tasty, it was cold by the time it reached our table. Waitress was not helpful and seemed annoyed with our presence. Drinks arrived after our meal and check we got differed from check once credit card was charged. Sad it wasn't a better experience given the potentially cute atmosphere and yummy food. Probably too busy but it was 2pm on a Saturday?

Delish, very good, light and fresh; had to wait a while for the food when we sat down - I like to think because the food was made just for me! The service was good!

Brandon M.

Let me start out by saying I am a West Coast, California, freak so this may explain my love for this restaurant. I LOVED THIS PLACE!!!! It was my favorite restaurant I went to during my trip to Nashville. Fresh produce, great service with a chef that cares about the food palate. It felt like home and after eating nothing but food that was fried, Barbecued or cooked with grease I was ready to hug every employee for getting me centered again. Marche actually had fresh locally grown vegetables which I found very uncommon in the Nashville area. I had the fried egg and asparagus bruschetta, Anson Mills organic oatmeal with strawberries and cream, croissant french toast, crepes Du jour with Coffee-drew's brew. Don't worry...I was with two other people. The restaurant has a nice open layout with floor to ceiling windows. The service was amazing and you could just tell that all the employee's were taking pride in their restaurant. Don't get me wrong I don't mind having a meal at a "ring out your menu" kind of place on occasion, I just prefer to have the fresh, organic, non-processed and non-fried food meal experience. If fresh and organic mean more than a hippie buzz word to you then stroll on into this amazing oasis of fine food.

This is what we had (there were two of us): Latte, drip coffee, one glass of red wine, cup of gazpacho, market salad (app size), peaches and ricotta on toast, ratatouille omelet, side of potatoes, summer salad (entree size), two fried eggs, creme brÃ»lÃ©e. We ate a lot, we had a great time, it was loud at first but we came at the tail-end of the brunch rush so I'm not complaining, plus the space is very open which makes for loud/echoing acoustics but also makes it feel roomy and cozy and spacious all at the same time, and there's a lot of natural light, and the service was attentive but not overbearing, and we sat forever and took our time which I know can be a sucky thing to do but as I said it was at the end of a rush so they didn't need our table to turn (at least not for more customers), and the food was wonderful and delightful and filling but not heavy, and overall I'd say we had a grrrrreat experience... all for just shy of $60 including tax. NOT BAD.

Place this restaurant in any other city with competition in the area and it would fall flat. The best part of this venue might be the staff and location. Very friendly servers - even when busy. Props. The space appeals to the senses. Its open. Its stylish. It is a little loud and a bit too warm on the elevated area though. The food is OK but doesn't deserve the hype. Specials have been consistently mediocre and bland. The specials have also been formulaic and far from intriguing. The regular menu and brunch menu have decent items that only suffer from lack of consistent execution. Some items have been delicious on the first visit and completely lack any seasoning and flavor on the next. Other items have come to the table complete as described on the menu. At other times, key ingredients are lacking. The biggest plus is the style of food and the lack of any decent eatery of a similar style in the area. The potential is there though. All of that being said, it seems like a mecca for the hip and well - to - do. More image than substance. Worth going to until something a little more worthwhile comes to the up and coming five points area.

Nice place, great service, and the food was delicious. There was a wait, we went on Sunday for brunch. They told us 45 minutes but I don't think we waited more than 15. I recommend the Artisan Cheeses as an app. The black currant jam that comes with it is sublime. After that I ordered a la carte, the portions are generous. The table next to us ordered the croissant french toast and it looked really good. Their plates were clean in no time. I will order that the next time. Table side mimosas rock!

Marche advertises that all of its food is fresh, which you can certainly taste. Also, it is one of the few fresh food locations in Nashville. I had the fried green tomatoes, a great appetizer. I would go here for a healthy, light food option, if you are seeking one while in Nashville.

Kris G.

Boasting always fresh, wonderful food and informed, friendly wait staff, Marche is great any time of day. Friday we went for a late dinner. The warm lighting and cafe feel, coupled with large windows showing the cold Tennessee evening provided a great atmosphere to enjoy a flavorful meal. I ordered the beef stew over a polenta cake w/ creme fraiche. The stew was more like a pulled beef, and was mostly meat, but the taste was amazing. The polenta and creme fraiche complemented well. After dinner, the Drew's Brews coffee is mandatory. Drew's is a staple of the East side, but it's even better brewed at Marche. A couple of small desserts were enjoyed with the coffee including a chocolate ganache cookie and a cranberry streusel bar. Marche's short, focused menu means this isn't the best place for a picky eater. But for culinary enthusiasts, you can't go wrong.

Marche is a hidden gem of East Nashville. It was one of my coworkers last day and he wanted to go to Margot Cafe, but it was cloased during luch so we walked over to Marche. Man, was I surprised with this cafe. It totally reminded me of many cafes in LA. I love the fact that you can walk in and order your food from the line or sit and be taken care of by the waiter. The service was awesome! All of the staff were friendly and made me feel just at home. The decor is very inviting. It feels like a perfect brunch spot for the warm weather. The whole decor is very refreshing. Oh, the food, the food is pretty good. It's definitely the best of East Nashville. The menu isn't that big, but it's good for small cafe of this size. Like what Michael N. said, the acoustic can be loud per the decor is a bit open and the sound reverberates b/c there's nothing to really absorb the sound. This place isn't a cafe for you to sit and study, but a place to enjoy some good food (brunch is my recommendation) and cool off from the hot humid weather.

Marche has been a long time favorite of my family and myself. Even to the extent of having my wedding reception there. Their food is artfully crafted and incredibly fresh, not to mention tasty. I would highly suggest stopping by and giving them a try.

A tasty handcrafted breakfast for a price that's about half what I have paid for similar meals. The french toast was a bit overly sweet, but perfectly done, and the coffee was delicious. This is less the greasy spoon and more a French/American fusion, but at a greasy spoon price.

We had brunch at Marche around 12:30 on a Sunday (Table for 3, one child). The GOOD: Wait: 4/5 -- We were quoted a 30min wait but were seated in 10 min. Food: 5/5 -- Really, this is the best brunch in Nashville. Value: 5/5 -- Not much on the menu over $10 makes this a bargain! Veggie-friendly: 5/5 -- Lots of veggie options available. Kid-friendly: 4/5 -- Booster available. Food: Half orders of French Toast ($4) and PB&J ($3) on the menu. No room for strollers, leave them in the car! The BAD: Service: 2/5 -- Our water was poured right away, but it took our server 15 min to take our drink order (we ordered our food then, too). Another 20 min for our drinks to come, after flagging down our server to remind him (His response -- not apologetic -- "Those I forgot") His only saving grace was that he brought out our daughter's food first. After that, things went smoothly. Cleanliness: 3/5 -- The bathroom's waste bin was overflowing. They re-sat the table behind us without sweeping the obviously wet and crumbified floor left by a cranky toddler.

After driving around the same square for about fifteen minutes, my boyfriend and I decided that Marche seemed like a great place to grab lunch. I'm not sure if it was the lunch menu as this place has lots of great reviews but neither one of us was impressed. The tall glass windows gave us a great view but left the dining area pretty chilly. The waiter seemed attentive yet un-attentive at the same time. For the meal, I had the egg salad sandwich and he had the brioche tart. Maybe it was just an off day but we were both underwhelmed. I'm not sure but next time I'm in Nashville, I don't think this establishment is worth a repeat visit.

Having been a regular at this restaurant I am always amazed when I think the food cant get any better and it does. The other night I had a chicken dish that sat on top of a lovely salad and covering all of it grilled delicious peaches. it was amazing

I'm an easy Mark for a 5-star review. Hit the hot-spots of a dining experience, and I'll rave. I loved my experience at MarchÃ©. Over Thanksgiving, 2008, I flew in from LA, my former roommate flew in from NYC and we met up with a Nashville pal we knew in New York. Ambiance - 5 stars. Staff/Greeting - 5 stars. Short wait in a crowded restaurant - 5 stars. Server - 5 stars. Food - priceless. It's not expensive, and the food was great. We all started with the roasted cauliflower soup. M. had the gnocchi - truly the best I've tasted (we all tasted and Loved it), and I've eaten more than my share of Italian food. B. had the quiche - Gouda cheese!! - delicious. I had the crepes - really nice flavours and a lovely bechemel. M. finished with the (chocolate! what?) bread pudding. B. & I finished with the artisan cheese plate. It was a perfect ending. We were there for some time, catching up, drinking nice coffee, blood orange mimosi - never pressured or hurried along. The brunch menu was photocopied, so I folded & pocketed one - already a recommendation to some Nashvillians. I'll return!

I went to Marche so much when it opened that i got a little burnt-out for a while. Lately, I have been back a few times and have found that it is even better than when they first opened. I have been going for lunch during the week, and an occasional brunch (and would still like to try dinner). The fall and winter specials have been fantastic: namely, I could bathe in the spicy pumpkin soup, and asked my waitress for "a gallon" of it to go- alas, she could only provide a quart... :) The beef stroganoff with spaetzle, and the smoked trout salad were both surprisingly good. I also really appreciate that they started brewing their own (delicious) iced tea with free refills, rather than the bottled stuff they used to serve.

I love this place! The service isn't always the best, but it's one of the best places to eat brunch or lunch in Nashville, TN, a place lacking in great restaurants. Plus, almost every time I go there I see Jack White.

Maddie S.

I loved MarchÃ©. I went earlier this week for breakfast and ordered the Scrambled Egg Hash with smoked salmon, red potatoes and green onions. It was delicious. I also ordered a Pomegranate Mimosa. Both were delectable. I wish the hash had had more potatoes, but I'm not complaining. I went with four friends and each person got something different and thoroughly enjoyed his/her platter. I can't wait to go back to try out lunch, brunch and dinner!

Megan K.

yay for their little desserts. hand made, had a WONDERFUL maple whoopie pie type thing. it was like two small cookies (crisp) with the maple flavor, and rhubarb on the inside. so freaking good. SO GOOD. their home made milano type cookie was also very good, with a delightful buttery taste. The olive sinclair chocolate gets a big thumbs up, as well as the cakes in the display. can't wait to go here again, a must stop for nashville travelers!

This place is GREAT. I've had brunch many times and dinner once (with a group from work). The food is fresh and local and very high quality. Always a small menu (small in a good, fresh, "hey - there's a chef" kinda way). The value is incredible when you consider the creativity and freshness. I'll be back again and again.

F. S.

this is by far one of my favorite restaurants in Nashville. The food is always fresh and the service is very friendly. Also a favorite is it's sister restaurant, Margot, which I especially love because of the ever changing menu! you won't go wrong with either one!
(5)
Ian R.

The little sibling of the highly acclaimed Margot Cafe. Much more casual, but with no compromise in the quality of the food. One of the most popular brunch spots in Nashville, so if you are coming on the weekend either show up early or plan to spend most of the morning. The menu rotates regularly, but I have never been disappointed. Also, treat yourself to a mimosa if they have one on special. Fresh juice and champagne will make you feel like you are across the street from the Louvre instead of across from Hunter's automotive.

Wayne H.

This is a really nice cafe to sit and enjoy a leisurely brunch, or in our case research all the other things we should do in Nashville during our weekend trip. Our waitress was friendly and gave us excellent suggestions for things to do. We had the croissant french toast and the quiche. The food was quite good. What a great place to kick off our weekend in Nashville.

As a vegan, I do not go to brunch at non-veg establishments simply because there is never anything for me to eat. But due to my omnivore friend and husband, I found myself tagging along for brunch at Marche during a recent trip to Nashville. I was almost doing cartwheels over a triple-salad menu option that involved vegan potato salad, bulgur stuffed avocado, and some other delicious salad item that I now can't recall. Our meal was AWESOME and the service was great. The mimosas here are fantastic as is the ambiance. Come early, though...this place gets PACKED and has a line out the door.

Marche is probably the best breakfast place on the east side of Nashville. The crÃªpes are very good, I do not know if they are always on the menu or if they were just a special that day, but they were to die for. Marche's coffee wins a prize for taste and presentation. It is really fine and not too bitter, plus it comes in these really cool bowl cup things. It is not often that I am in East Nashville in the mornings, but I think this is a good place to take a detour from, if your are getting bored with the other offerings in the city.

Marche made the perfect ending to a rainy trip to Nashville. It was just down the road from the studio I was working in, so one rainy Sunday morning, I strolled down, treated myself to a rhubarb mimosa and a crepe. And not just any crepe, but a ham stuffed crepe with ricotta cheese bulging out the seems and asparagus throughout, dowsed in a creamy tomato sauce. This was heaven on a plate! Elegant and simple, but with a menagerie of flavors for my lonely palate on a rainy Nashville morning. I did feel a little odd being the only person there who came to eat by myself as there was a huge line and I had a whole table all to myself, but what can you do, good food takes its time, so me, my book, and a wonderful rhubarb mimosa, settled into our table by the window and indulged ourselves in some good eats... that may just be all the company I need!

Maggie H.

Went to Nashville this past weekend, and looked to my fellow Yelpers for some brunch help. They did not disappoint, Marche was the perfect choice. The whole atmosphere was fun and friendly and the food was great. Apparently this is the place to brunch on Sundays, so we did have to wait about an hour, but you can get coffee, look around and hang out outside while you wait. They also have a little shopping area in the front of the restaurant where they sell local products and food. The menu is pretty limited, but all the choices looked great. They had a fun drink menu (prosecco punch, blood orange bellini, etc.) and the coffee was also pretty good. If you're in Nashville, I would definitely come here for brunch.

Lauren A.

this is hands down my favorite place for brunch in Nashville. The menu changes with the seasons, the food is always well thought out and interesting, the coffee is great, and so is the price. The only downfall is that apparently everyone agrees because when it first opened, you barely had to wait... now you may have to wait for 45 minutes on a Sunday... and the waiting area is not very big. I've actually learned that you have a better shot at getting in at Margot down the street on a Sunday than Marche... which is odd because Margot has a much quieter atmosphere and basically the same menu. I've only eaten at Marche once for lunch and it really good. I need to try it for dinner sometime.
(5)
Brad H.

The food is incredible. Only tried dinner once, but it's my favorite breakfast/brunch in Nashville. You never know what you're gonna stumble across. The only downside is it can be a wait during late morning brunch on weekends. But nothing horrible.

I wish this restaurant was closer to my apartment!! We had brunch there on Sat morning during the craziness of the East Nasty Tomato Festival. It was crowded but the staff was very friendly and the food was wonderful. I loved everything about this place and can't wait to go back. They serve Drew's Coffee, Mighty Leaf Tea. I had a cup of coffee, a fresh croissant, and the caprese salad. Yum! My boyfriend enjoyed the omelet and chocolate croissant. All the other food that we saw looked delicious, I can't wait to go back!

I'm not familiar with the area, but my brother and his wife tend to find good places to eat. I think it's in our familys' genetics. Marche is definitely good, but I thought it was pricey for what you got. I'm used to getting a good mix of breakfast food for $10 and all you get is a main dish without the extras. I got an omlette, but no bread, homefries, fruit, and so on. My cheapness aside, the omlette was quality.

Paul H.

Wonderful Sunday brunch spot, with a bright and open seating area. Interesting crowd that mixes East Nashville's hippest with Green Hill's Ladies who lunch. I started my meal with a cucumber-sake bloody Mary. It was outstanding, and the use of sake in place of vodka really helped the cucumber and lime shine through - making it very refreshing. The menu is pretty straightforward, with lots of interesting small plate options and larger entrees ranging from $3 - $9. I had the smoked salmon with capers, red onion and mascarpone cheese on rye. The use of mascarpone was another interesting take on this classic. I had zero complaints about my meal and cannot wait to go back for more.

Having dined here countless times, I can easily confirm Marche's excellence in every department. Vibe is European bistro, better for daytime lunching or breakfasting. (if you want a cozy intimate dinner, go down the street to its sister restaurant Margot.) Menu changes monthly, so the focus is on seasonal, local, and organic cuisine. There are options for everyone, and plenty for vegetarians. The menu is well balanced with market salads, soups, small plates, and heartier entrees. Desserts should not skipped here, and should be grabbed from the dessert counter up front when you're on the go (think brandied cherry souffle, butternut squash tarts, cocoa ginger snaps, ganache bundt cake... yum). They serve tasty Drew's coffee and have an excellent selection of teas. The wine list is small but competent. The prices are extremely reasonably for the high quality of the food. Savory seafood stew with clams, cod, chorizo, and mussels goes for $16, same price for a dried-fruit stuffed pork over creamy grits and sauteed spinach. Brunch is very popular here, as are the occasional wine tastings (hook up with Woodland Wine Merchant's email list for updates). Staff is efficient and very knowledgeable. The front of the restaurant sells European boutique foodie items, and the dining room is surrounded by large windows looking out to Gallatin St (not glitzy, granted, but the interior is so lovely). Go, go, go, if you have not already.

the food and the atmosphere is consistently amazing at marche! if you're looking for a great place to have brunch on sunday, then visit marche. have a pomegranate mimosa with your brie and apple honey glazed toast and you will leave a very happy camper.

Came here on a road trip through Nashville. Fresh, lovely food in a spacious, sunny cafe, and cheap! I got the BLT with avocado and my sister the tuna nicoise. These are our staple dishes, and we thought they did our tried-and-true favorites exceptionally well. We also enjoyed the drinks: blood orange mimosa and summer sangria. The blackberry panna cotta was good but not amazing. We expected the panna cotta to have more of a blackberry flavor, but it did have big, fresh, yummy blackberries in it. We got some cookies to go. We loved the PB&J, the tangerine shortbread dipped in ganache, and the pecan chocolate chip cookies.

katie l.

marche is fresh, creative, and a great value. our meal was both delicious and well priced. we had the flatbread with taleggio, prosciutto, arugula and figs (big enough for an entree, or split between multiple people) and the duck pate as appetizers, and the quail and farro entrees. i would recommend everything. our server was very thoughtful and pleasant, and he suggested a great dessert--the butternut squash tart with oatmeal crust and cinnamon whipped cream. we ended up with more food than we could finish (and took some home) but an extremely reasonable bill. the atmosphere was relaxed but classy. this was definitely the best place i have been in nashville thus far and i can't wait to go back!

[November 2009] This was our first stop during our trip to Nashville, as my sister is a new transplant there and she lives about 10 blocks from Marche. The ambiance is cool, mixed with their cafe/gourmet foods area. I love the open space and big windows. It seems the cool kids of Nashville are there, and some cool parents. I had the smoked trout salad with fennel - wow. Good stuff. Everyone else had pretty good food, bolognase, a open faced sandwich... one mark of good food is their bread plate. It is beyond me why they would charge $4 for cold, untoasted unstellar bread, except for the fact that they serve it with a few nice spreads. If they work on their bread selection, I would definitely give them 5 stars for a great casual dining spot.

Michael N.

You really can't go wrong with Marche. I like to go at off peak times the acoustics can be a bit overwhelming. In the SF Bay Area they started giving sound ratings for restaurants, Yelp needs to add this also. I would have given 5 starts except for the acoustics and the tables are on the small side. The food and service is great!

This place is part artisan deli/grocer and part casual dining. The deli has a range of ready-to-eat soups, sides, and even whole meals to go, and that menu looks great. However, I was there for the brunch (they recently added dinner Tues thru Fri). This chef loves polenta, and that is fine by me! The coffee was great, tasted just like the French press coffee I've had next door at the chef's other restaurant, Margo Cafe. The bloody mary, with cumcumber sake, was the best I've had. My entree was poached eggs over palenta with parmesan and a tomato sauce... looked like pasta for breakfast, but was light and delicious. Also had a polenta biscuit, which was great,,, classic example of using good ingredients in a simple but creative way. Fresh fruit was a perfect end. The menu is full of smallish plates and sides which was great... I hate trying to decide what to order at a brunch and this way I got to try a lot of stuff. The atmosphere was cool; very sunny space with little cafe tables and big farm tables and a low key, eclectic crowd.

Who says brunch is just for Saturday and Sundays. At March'e Artisan Foods you can have brunch every day. Smack dab in the middle of 5 Points gentrification this French bistro serves quality local ingredients in a friendly airy atmosphere. The Blood Orange mimosa is their most popular but if you prefer a dryer champagne cocktail, order the Pomegranate Mimosa instead, it has just the right amount of sweetness without overpowering the taste of the bubbly.

Caroline L.

Holy croissant, this place is good! You never know what you're going to get at brunch places with "artisan" in the title... but Michelangelo himself would cry over the ciabatta bread and cheese plate I had at Sunday brunch. Also some of the best bacon I've ever had. Flavorful, meaty, and perfectly cooked. The food is high quality and the prices aren't bad. Plus, they have a full bar, so load up on the mimosas and bloody marys. The atmosphere is laid back but hip enough to charm the after-church crowd. Not at all the pretentious, money gouging, prissy place I was expecting.

Michelle M.

I came here for brunch and cannot wait to return. The environment is so bright and airy. The food was delicious. I had the smoked salmon sandwich, and I recommend it. The mimosas were another nice touch. Everything about this place is lovely: the prices, the food, the service. Marche gets zero complaints from this lady!

A meal at the European-style MarchÃ© is worth the wait. My teenage daughter and I beamed at each other from across the communal table as we devoured croissant French toast, multi-grain toast with ricotta cheese and fresh peaches, sage sausage, and decent tea. Service was impeccable despite the Father's Day crowds. Make your wait less painful by ordering an artisan drink from the walk-up counter...

Tiffany C.

Not knowing what to expect in Nashville, I was pleasantly surprised by this place. My friends and I went to dinner here last week and I thought what I ordered (House Made Pappardelle with Lamb Ragu, Mushrooms, Parmesan, Fresh Oregano) was really good! It really hit the spot and I cleaned out my plate. My friends equally enjoyed their food and I tried the beef brisket and it was pretty awesome. We also ordered their honey carrot cake and that was divine! If you like carrot cake, you have to try this!! They also have some type of warm spiced wine that was really good! It was almost like juice. Could be an issue if you're a light weight drinker cuz you'll never know what hit you! The location is kind of off the beaten path and I probably would of never found this place if someone hadn't taken us there but it was worth it. There isn't anything "special" about this place, i.e. southern food or BBQ but this place just has good food in general. Try it out if you get the chance!

Jennifer N.

This is a Nashville treasure. EVERY time I eat here I am impressed and leave feeling absolutely delighted. Most of the time, we eat brunch here, and my husband adores the croissant french toast. This is a decadent treat that is sinfully awesome--rich, buttery and well flavored, not just overly sweet. Prepare for a post brunch carb crash! I have tried nearly every egg dish- and the varying crepe selections are always exceptional. Another recent favorite was a creamy polenta with eggs served on top. They also make an excellent croque madame. The sake bloody mary is a wonderful complement- get one early to shorten the wait if there is a crowd. Dinner and lunch selections are also amazing- mostly local ingredients make for wonderful, seasonal and rotating menus. A standout on the fall/winter dessert menu is a butternut squash tart with an oat shortbread crust and cinnamon whipped cream. Truly divine! The staff is always helpful and friendly- I applaud them for their knowledge and unpretentious demeanor. The atmosphere during a hectic Saturday or Sunday morning brunch rush can be loud and rushed, so go early to really enjoy a few moments more at your farmhouse table with a huge cup of delicous coffee.

Elle A.

Maybe I've just gotten over it, but Marche has become pretty average and overpriced for me as of late. I usually go for lunch, but I would like to see a little more variety with their small menu. I hate to complain about small businesses, but it shouldn't take well over an hour to get lunch... especially on "off hours" - we were there around 1:30. Addtionally, I had to send my food back twice. I've worked in the service industry and this is something I rarely do. The server even mentioned that what I'd ordered had been sent back several times that day. Hmm... maybe someone else needs to take over the kitchen for the afternoon? Just a thought. Our meal (that we never ate) was comped so I definately appreciate that, but my 2 hours spent there I will not get back. Being that it's in my neighborhood, I will be willing to try again but only when a new menu rolls around. Sorry y'all...

Good Sunday brunch (that's what this review is about), but I don't get the hype. They are trying to have interesting flavors, but execution isn't there yet. Very noisy, too.

Excellent food. We both had cheese grits, scrambled eggs (best i've ever had), and bacon, with shared half order of french toast (delish!). Good coffee too. Only negative is that it is very loud. However, we'd still dine here again.

Sara N.

This is absolutely hands down my favorite restaurant.... not just in Nashville. I use this as the standard to compare any restaurant I visit in any city. The brunch on the weekends is packed to the gills but so worth the wait. In fact , I even ordered my Thanksgiving dinner from here.

Caesar R.

The GF picked this one and what a great pick it was! The place was packed and tons of people waiting while we only had a 5 minute wait. The service was super friendly and laid back, but not in a negative way. The place has offerings that were creative and delicious. We each had a sake bloody mary with cucumber garnish. Also, we had the bacon, ricotta, swiss shard crepe with a mushroom sauce and the sausage gravy with two sunny side eggs on a polenta biscuit. Everything was delicious. The place also has a mini gourmet market with artisanal offerings from local producers and other gourmet offerings from all over. Expect a wait on the weekends if you are brunching. But it is definitely worth the wait.

Amie S.

This is an abso-tively lovely restaurant with some really incredible fresh, seasonal, mouthwatering dishes that will bring joy to your lips! Marche's menu changes with the seasons, and features locavorious goodies like organic breads, local produce, and farm fresh eggs. We ventured in for brunch, and every single thing I tried was amazing, including vanilla yogurt that almost made me yelp (out loud) with delight. I highly recommend the egg dish with ratatouille (that's right, it's not just a Disney movie). The space is open and airy, with floor-to-ceiling windows bringing in lots of light. There's plenty of room for big gatherings as well as some cozy corners for a more intimate experience. If you're up for a chance to mingle with a bigger crowd, they also host wine tastings, slow food dinners, and other events. You can have them cater your own private events, too. While you wait in line (plan on it), you can check out the shelves of gourmet and artisan food items that make Marche, well...a marche (that's "freedom" talk for market). I'm also thrilled to know you can pick up prepared food here. It's all about reheating some gourmet Marche entrees and impressing the dinner guests! Devious? Maybe. Delicious? Definitely.

Let me start my rating with a caveat. I am an unassuming hole in the wall kind of gal when it comes to food. That's not to say I can't appreciate fine dining or ambiance but I find most mid priced places with pretty wrapping to be well, overrated. Marche pretty much lives up to that stereo type thus far. The tables are pretty, the staff all wears the same clothes,the plates all match and the dishes offer up ingredients that I wouldn't have expected but that's as good as it gets. Each time I go, I think to myself, it's smells good in here and I really do feel like I must be important to be eating in such a fine looking place. Alas the food comes and I am always underwhelmed. It's all just blah with a side of ho hum, smothered in bland. The problem is that if I am going to be paying $9 for a lunch item, I want it to be you know the high light of my day. If it was under $5 I would be saying to myself, "my that wasn't very exciting, but hey the price was right." Instead I end up saying to myself "what the F***?!?" My opinion may not be a popular one as I personally think this place totally wins on peer pressure alone and by virtue of the fact that it's sister restaurant, Margot, is one of the better restaurants in Nashville. I personally suggest you skip a few lunches at Marche, eat some microwave lunches, and invest your saved cash in to an upgraded meal at Margot.

Went here with a group of 12 ladies for brunch on Saturday. I had heard of the long wait (no reservations) so I went ahead an hour early to put our name on the list. They will not seat you until your entire party shows up but I had a couple of mimosas while I waited and looked at their spectacular selection of pastries. Once our party was all here the staff sat us down and were very attentive the entire time. I had the chicken crepes and they were small but spectacular.Everyone at our table truly enjoyed their food, easy to tell when a a group of 12 ladies all of a sudden goes quiet. Some even had room for dessert and every dessert was decadent. This place does brunch right. My only complain is the location. Yes, East Nasty is not my favorite part of town but this gets me there.

I recently went to Marche for Sunday brunch and was not disappointed. The portions are certainly smaller than a hearty American pancakes, eggs, bacon and toast-style brunch, but the ingredients are all extremely fresh, well-balanced, and offered in an equal amount of breakfast and lunch options, surprisingly absent from many *brunch* menus. I ordered the fried eggs over merguez sausage with red potatoes and peppadews. The egg side of the dish was topped with a deliciously mild hot sauce, which is always an A+ when it comes to me and eggs. The coffee was also very good - on the darker roast side. I've heard lunch is excellent as well. Sunday brunch is served from 9-4, considerably less narrow than the Margot 11-2 brunch slot.

I was visiting Nashville for a family reunion a few weeks ago, and a smaller group of us wanted to break away from the crowd for a nice breakfast. I fired up Yelp and saw that there were several highly rated breakfast places in this area. We saw Marche before we made it to one of the other places from Yelp, and we decided to stop in. My mom, her boyfriend and I all thought it looked nice from the outside. I think my bro was sold when he saw a few young ladies in rainboots near the windows. The coffee... was A+. They actually served our latte's in small bowls. Even their drip was delicious. The food... was delicious. We each had something different, and then we shared a plate of the French toast. The service... was friendly and our waitress didn't seem to mind that we kept nagging her with different requests instead of rolling them into one trip to the table. We had lunch the next day at Margot Cafe around the corner, and I actually preferred our meal at Marche.

Rachel S.

I'm so happy I finally tried Marche after knowing of its artisan market existence. It seems that this is the more contemporary Puffy Muffin, a place most appropriate for "ladies who lunch". Except there aren't just ladies in here, as it's located in East Nashville and the typical demographic is far from the location in which sits the Puffy Muffin. The menu: There are omelets, quiche, sandwiches, salads, creative cocktails. After reading other Yelp reviews, I'm glad to hear that the menu changes regularly. Next time I go - and there will be a next time - there will be a new variety to choose from! Our meal at Marche was a late breakfast, so we ordered the two omelets of the day - one with roast beef and other meats, the other omelet with feta, arugula, and tomato - and a cup of the tomato basil soup. Well made soup, served not incredibly hot. Very well made omelets. Lovely flavors, both very well cooked and presented with a small vinaigrette-touched salad. On the side we ordered "toast" which was far from just toast. It was two hearty slices of Marche's "artisan" bread with butter and high quality preserves. Couldn't ask for better. Prices on everything were decent (except for the Mocha, listed at $5 - yikes!), but if you sample a few things you're looking at a moderate as opposed to a cheap bill. Still, not unreasonable in the slightest. Last minute, I ordered one of the available cookies - the chocolate mint wafer. This was hardly paper thin as the term "wafer" may suggest. It was a 3-inch in diameter, thick cookie, dark chocolate with a dark chocolate coating on half of it. Great! Although I could have ordered one of each cookie and a serving of bread pudding, I restrained myself. This one introduction to Marche's selection of pastries however already proves to me that their cookies/desserts by far exceed those at a bakery/restaurant such as the Puffy Muffin. Aside from the sit down area of the restaurant, there is a small market area as the name suggests of foods for sale. I didn't take a close look today, but I know bread loaves were available. I can't wait to go back!

Enjoyed a nice brunch with the boyfriend today. The food was quite delicious: croissant french toast, steak and eggs, and cheddar grits. Everything was prepared as ordered and the portion sizes filled us up. The milk is a tad pricey at $3 a glass. Service was more of the "order taker" varietal which was fine at brunch, but i'd hope to expect a little more if I came back for dinner (which I probably will as the food truly was enjoyable.) Ambiance/ atmosphere is minimilistic, the chairs are somewhat uncomfortable. Just sayin'. Anyhoo, nice place.

My most favorite restaurant in Nashville. Food is outstanding and the wait staff is top notch. I never miss a chance to eat here!

Such an adorable cafe - feels unpretentious and elegant at the same time. The menu changes and it's clear they use all very fresh ingredients in everything. Our service was wonderful - we got just enough attention. I had a plate of homemade pasta and a great glass of wine...and they brought out bread to the table in a big charming basket - such a nice touch. The only reason for 4 stars and not 5 was that the pasta could've used just a little more flavor and a tad less oil....maybe some parmesan or something to make it really stand out - I found myself reaching for the salt and pepper. That said, this would be a regular place for me if I lived in Nashville.

If I could give Marche more than five stars, I would. It's not often that I'm truly blown away by a place or that a place lives up to all the hype. Marche does. Deservedly, it is crowded during brunch hours at the weekend, but the bar is more than willing to serve you delicious mimosas while you wait. I loved the pomegranate and the blood orange ones. This is the kind of place you just need to relax and enjoy. The interior decor reminds you of a French farmhouse and the food is just the same. Everything is simple, yet well thought out. It's all about clever combinations of simple flavors. We ordered a bread basket, which came with different kinds of bread and a selection of spreads including honey, nutella, and an almond-peanut butter. I really wanted to try every single brunch item and the most difficult thing about dining here was narrowing down to a single choice. The omelet I finally chose was light and fluffy and accompanied by a light salad. I celebrated my graduation here, so they managed to make a special event truly special, and I can't wait to go back.

A little off the beaten path, but well worth the visit. I was blown away by the quality of the food at Marche. I shared several brunch dishes and thought they were all amazing. The peaches, ricotta, and honey on top of toast was totally unique and inventive. I couldn't get enough of it. The crepes, eggs and grits, and everything else was simply to die for. The only down side is that the noise level in the restaurant is off the charts. It's so loud that its hard to hear the person sitting next to you. Otherwise, I can wait to go back next time I am in Nashville.

When visiting Nashville, friends suggested Marche. OMG. Out of this world. The food, the ambience, the experience... fabulous! I had the beef for dinner, and my mouth waters to this day when I think about the evening!

Marche is a must when it comes to eating your way around Nashville. It''s a sweet little French styled restaurant with ceiling to floor windows and friendly staff. I've not had one bad experience there which is what led me to have my wedding reception there. They were great to work with! The food is always delicious and the menu ever changing to cater to the season's local produce supply.

This place is quickly climbing my list of brunch favorites in town. The man and I have now been 3 or 4 times, and I have yet to find any downside other than the fact that it's an early morning visit (or else you may have to wait because everyone else wants to eat there too). It's nice to have a place in town that I can head to for breakfast that isn't greasy and heavy- especially as a runner. I want to fuel for the day (and a long run on the weekends), and Marche is absolutely best for that these days. I've fallen in love with their homemade granola and yogurt. Hands down one of the best I've ever had. Also love that their menu is constantly changing so there's always something new to try. Their polenta is also delicious. Service is always fantastic and attentive. Never had an empty water glass on any visit. Overall, I'm a fan. Can't wait to make some time to check out their dinner options!

Caitlin D.

I have been to Marche many a time by now, after a full year in N-town. I will say that it has its ups and downs as far as the length of your wait and the quality of the food. It's never bad quality of food, sometimes it's just excellent- and other times it's good. Always on the right side of the spectrum, though. The menu changes constantly, with a few staples that remain. The portions are fairly small, so don't be afraid of an appetizer and ALWAYS get a cocktail. I like the sake bloody mary.... wish I had one now (but I'm at work). I always go for brunch, I have had one lunch there. Haven't tried dinner yet. It's an artisan-y vibe, the staff is on top of it and hip if I do say so. Give it a go!

Good solid food. Reminiscent of French food, but really not. The joint and the waitresses have that vibe too, French bistro in America thing. They accomplish flavor profiles with their dishes very well, most dishes should be eaten with all components of the dish on each bite. If you don't you may think this joint is super plain. No there is a purpose for those few sprigs of Arugula on your open face breakfast sandwich. The service is a=okay most days except for the mornings on the weekend. That's when it is more crowded than a Cracker Barrel on Veterans Day. I recommend this joint, mostly for the Ambience, partially for the food, not for the service. You will enjoy the dishes, just keep your seat they'll get to you when they get to you. ;)

Such a fantastic brunch spot. Casual, laid back, right in the middle of the hip area of East Nashville. They don't take reservations though, so expect a wait on a Saturday or Sunday especially if you have more than 2 or 3 people. I think it's worth it though. Rustic, French country decor (well I think anyway, I've never actually BEEN to the French countryside!) and an open--but small--floorplan make Marche a really cozy place to hang out and catch up with friends over coffee--or in my case, Diet Coke. If they have quiche on the menu (and haven't run out of it), GET IT! Always scrumptious no matter what kind it is. Food selections are limited to about 8-10 but I think that's a good thing. They use local produce, meats and dairy when available and everything is always super fresh and in season. If any artisan breads are on the menu, give those a shot too. One of the best things I've had there lately was a foccacia with fresh tomatoes, mozzarella and basil baked into it, then topped with the same and back in the oven just enough to melt it all. OH. MY. GOSH. So freakin' good. Service is a little on the slower side but it's always been good. Wait staff is attentive and very knowledgeable of the menu.

Excellent service, relatively easy parking, not too long of a wait on a sunny Sunday morning. Friends had the chicken crepes and the two eggs on toast w prosciutto. Both were incredibly delicious. I liked the prosciutto dish best, salty yummy and comforting. I had the hash with sausage potato peppers and eggs. This wasnt fantastic, mainly because the texture of the sausage was too firm, it was hard bordering dry... but when properly chewed still tasty. That dish was a 3, but the other two were fives, so Im letting it slide. Service was good and my coffee was pretty good.

We so much prefer Marche to Margot, more consistent and less attitude. Evening dining can be quite romantic, market salad, pappardelle without the rabbit - ask for extra shrooms, washed down with a glass of something red. Delicious and not but 5 minutes walk back home. Grab some blue cheese and other nibbles from the deli counter on the way out and Ta Da bed food for later. Omlettes for breakfast always good here. Lines get very long on weekends for brunch.

Marche is the first meal out I had in Nashville, it set the bar high for my other experience here. I always come here and get exactly what I was in the mood for, even when I had no clue exactly what that was going into it. The longest wait I ever had was 20 min, which is nothing. You can stare at their pastry counter, it'll take a solid 15 minutes to get your gluttoned jaw peeled off the floor. When you look at the menu, you could go in blindfolded and come out on top. The prices are very reasonable, so treat your friend!

Jeremy C.

amazing service from the minute we walked in the door on a busy Tuesday during lunch hour. our waitress, celia, was attentive, friendly, and took excellent care of us. plus she had the biggest smile i think i'd ever seen. we felt right at home. As a vegan, the quinoa salad totally hit the spot for me. My wife had what she says was the best tuna niÃ§oise salad she's ever eaten in her life. We'd always wanted to visit this place when we lived in Nashville, and finally got around to it the day we sold our house there. When we go back to visit friends and family, MarchÃ© will definitely be on our list of places to dine.

MarchÃ© caters to adventurous foodies. You won't need to order off the menu to be delighted. I was pleased to find paella on the menu, since I have been falling in love with this rive dish of late.

We were in town for the weekend and this place was recommended by multiple people. It also happened to be the Tomato Arts Fest, so many of the dishes were tomato themed. It was delicious and the service was very friendly and laid back. I would definitely go back!

Sometimes the food is outstanding, sometimes it's just good...with an ever-changing menu; your bound to find something you just LOVE eventually.. I'm a fan of the ambience...I get the feeling I'm in someone's kitchen. LOVE their house-made granola...try it with yogurt and fruit...it's very addictive! Every salad I've ever had there is perfect, also. I love the fact that in my neighborhood, I have a place to go for fresh-baked breads and pastries. I have to have a couple of the walnut meringue cookes each week and of course, I keep the granola on hand always. In our neighborhood, we like for you to remember us AND have a smile on your face. I enjoy the restaurant and hope that it's in our neighborhood for a long time...it truly is a neighborhood gem.

My fiance and I went here last weekend and we had the BEST breakfast. We had never been before and we loved the restaurant itself. All of the staff were very nice, friendly and helpful. We started off with the blood orange mimosas which were delicious! I ordered the croissant french toast which was amazing and my fiance ordered the crepes. We have nothing but great things to say about this place, and it would definitely be 1st on the list the next time we are in Nashville.

We live in East Nashville and have eaten here since it opened... Apparently no biggie to Marche! I just had the rudest encounter there that I have had anywhere in a long time. The gentleman behind the counter clearly needs to find another job as it seems he doesn't enjoy his time here any longer. I suppose they are in a place to take their business success in these tough times for granted. I will think twice before popping by to pick up something to take-home to the family as this was a most unpleasant experience.

I came in at what was clearly a down time, and it was still so slow. I counted five people sitting at tables. I was greeted, but was not asked for my order for a while as I just stood there confused. Finally, I was greeted, and explained that I wanted coffee. I was handed a drinks menu and WOW, this was expensive. Just a coffee was $2.50! How can just a coffee be that expensive. And it's Drew's Brews, so it's going to be mediocre at best. I then ordered my coffee, and waited longer than I thought I should to get it. Now to be fair, I think they realized that they made me wait far too long for the little I wanted, so I will be fair and admit they did waive the cost, and it would also be fair to not that I did not eat any food there, but I don't see myself going back for the coffee. Too expensive and too slow.

I think Marche is great. Although I sometimes have try something completely new because of the changing menu, I have always enjoyed it. Easily the best brunch in town as well.

Thanks Yelp for helping us find the perfect place for breakfast here I'm Nashville. The French toast was warm & delicious with maple syrup. I'm picky about crispy bacon. It arrived just the way I like & the flax seed toast & eggs were a nice way to start long day on road.

Great place. Nice decor and trendy. My wife had the Steak and Cheese on a hoagie and she loved it. The Curried Chicken & Chick Pea Stew and Seafood Curry was amazing a must try. The Bread Pudding is insanely delicious. The service was fast and attentive. And I like the community tables.

Jeff O.

Dropped in on a busy Saturday afternoon for brunch. Just beat the big rush and got our food in relatively short order. I pounced on the steak and eggs with white pesto sauce. The sauce carried the day and the steak was tender and moist. My companions grabbed tomato soup (super rich and creamy) and salad with watermelon, fennel, and arugula (fun combination; nice and light). The place gets LOUD at peak times, which isn't my favorite environment, but the food carried the day.

Kristin Marie S.

Time for an update! By this point I have had countless brunches and dinners at MarchÃ©, including this past Friday. I should probably check in more. What I absolutely love about this place is the rotating menu. This time around I went with the seafood dinner, yum yum YUM! The fregole was a perfect base for my clam, mussel and shrimp meal. The mushroom bruschetta was divine as well. We were full after our meal so we skipped dessert but it wasn't easy. During brunch once we ordered the red velvet cake, yep that's right, I had the cake and I ate it too! To the brunches, they always have steak on the menu, it may change but the basics are there. I pretty much always order the steak and eggs, I try and deviate but I can't. I also always gets the pomegranate Prosecco and a bottle of Mountain Spring still water. Recently we have been adding the bread basket to our meal and it's perfect! Homemade peanut butter, jams, honey and Nutella, what a way to start the day. The atmosphere is always wonderful and we tend to luck out with the waitstaff. I have yet to get a bad server, they are always attentive and friendly. I struggle with giving MarchÃ© 5 stars but only because as Margot's younger sister every time I eat at Margot I am reminded how it's just that much better. And when I say that much better I mean a notch, one notch. So should that one notch knock it down to 4 stars? Nah, because MarchÃ© has that much going for them.

Very nice restaurant in a very cute part of East Nashville. The almond croissant was so delicious, definitely a highlight. The peaches and ricotta to share are just ok, I would say go for the croissant instead. The crepe de jour was amazing, perfect amount of heartiness after such a lot of sweet for a great brunch! Get there early, this place fills up.
(5)
Kevin C.

Like any great establishment in Nashville, if there is a line out the door, it is going to be good. Marche came highly recommended for brunch, and Sunday brunch it is certainly busy. But, they have some quality coffee service for those waiting outside, and the wait is entirely worth it. Definitely go for the croissant french toast, and I went for the crepe which is quite delicious. I had tastes of some other items and they were all top notch, so you can't go wrong here. Enjoy a lazy Sunday brunch the French err Nashville way!

Beautifully airy interior, outstanding coffee beverages and pastries, and one of my favorite brunches in recent memory. I had the creamy polenta with two perfectly runny eggs, carmelized onions, and gorgonzola (I think...). So crowded on the weekend, but so worth the wait. The next time I'm in Nashville, it's on.

David L.

Yum! The Sunday brunch is tops! Get there early though...I hated the wait (even though it is worth it!) I returned for lunch at another time. The sandwiches are very good, too. Overall assessment: Positives: - really good food - quick service Negatives: - noisy - limited parking All in all, it's a very nice meal and I like the atmosphere!

Full disclosure: we did not get an opportunity to eat here for the reason I am about to detail, but if you are looking for a great brunch spot without a pretentious hostess, go down the street to Mad Donna. My friends and I were visiting Nashville for the first time and staying in a cute house nearby. I dropped them off at the door to Marche while I parked. From the account I was told as I walked in, the hostess chose to seat a partially-present party in front of us (we saw this unfold). When we inquired why the other incomplete group was sat before us, we were told that "sometimes people lie about their party being here." At this point, I curiously asked if she was calling us liars (a group of moms, wives, and businesswomen in our 30s, it was hard to believe we fit the profile). She responded by PUTTING HER HAND ON ME in what I can only imagine was an attempt to appease me (I really wasn't that upset; it was more confusion why someone would choose to seat three kids under 5 over six well-groomed women). I was a server for 9 years. Touching a customer is only appropriate when your friends and family come to visit and you have a pre-established public display of affection repertoire. She then proceeded to tell us to calm down while we were merely asking for an explanation. We would have accepted any response from: "That was my sister" to "I f'ed up" to "Here is a free crepe while you wait." However, we got none of that so we decided to leave. She had already decided she didn't want us there, and we were fine to oblige. It has been four days, and my only point with writing this post is to caution: visitors beware. That chick is cleary not interested in your business if you won't be coming back. Good news: there are plenty of other places in the area to get good eggs and biscuits without having to deal with a hostess with a bad attitude. While put up with someone like that on vacation?

Very good breakfast here on Saturday with the family and friends. We arrived at 9am on a Saturday and got immediate seating. We did have a large table and had to sit with a few other folks, but it was okay---the room is loud and we didn't mind at all. Food was good! Coffee was lukewarm on each fill-up but I really think it has to do with the carafe's they use, but otherwise it was okay. Eggs were good, bacon was excellent (just the way I like it, cooked completely). Grits were not as good as they have been in the past. (That's why I give them 4 stars this week). Highly recommend if you want something different and your in Nashville for the weekend.

I love the brunch here but hate the dreaded wait so I rarely make it out to marche. however yesterday I was in the neighborhood around 3 o'clock and was able to not only sit immediately but the restaurant was pretty empty which was great for my infant and I (they serve brunch til 4 on Saturdays). the beet salad is fantastic and so is the french toast. I've had the bloody Mary's in the past and hands down one of the best in nashville. if you like fresh, delicious food, great background music, and adorable atmosphere marche is your place.

Great friendly place for a good dinner. We were greeted and seated by nice hostess. Waitress was friendly, familiar with the menu and made great recommendation. I has lamb meatballs with tziki sauce, salad and pita, my sister had cheese gnocchi. It was plated nicely and was very tasty. Love keeping our dining out selections in our East Nashville neighborhood. This was a nice place to get some good food, reasonably priced with good service and food. Only big problem was poor parking situation at this eatery. Other wise this would have received 5 stars.

Michael N.

Rivals with the best brunch we have ever had. Went with a la carte (grits, Brussels sprouts, sausage, and white bean soup), crepes, and French toast. Wow. Good as it gets. Only hiccup was the Bloody Mary. The virgin was much better than the sake one because the sake drowned out the flavor of the homemade bloody! Got to go.

Laurel B.

I love this place and go at least once every time I come back to my hometown to visit my folks. Because each of my visits are few and far between, the menu is always slightly different so I am thrilled to try something new each time. This past Sunday I went with a couple friends around 10:00am that were in town for one night only and this was their parting meal before they got back on the road. We were told that there would be a 25 minute wait but it ended up being less than 10. Although, i think we got lucky because once we left the crowd around the door and outside was quite large. What we had and what we thought: I had the basic scrambled eggs, bacon, and cheese grits plus the half order of croissant french toast. I miss grits so much and these completely satisfied my cravings. Perfect amount of cheese to grits ratio. As in not overly cheesy...really just perfect. Scrambled eggs are easy but they were perfect as well. Not runny, not overcooked, fluffy, just plain good. BF had the Potato and Kale Cake with creamed leeks & corn with sunny eggs. I had a bite and it was really good. He's also crazy for kale so I think he was really happy with his meal. Friend J had the Crepe with white bean, swiss chard, goat cheese and tomato basil sauce. She was also quite satisfied with her selection and pleased that the white beans didn't overpower it but just added a hearty semi-starch to her meal. Friend T had the Chicken Liver Pate Sandwich and some sort of Sake Cucumber Bloody Mary. I did not try either of his things but he seemed happy with his selections, especially the cocktail and took half of his sandwich for the road so he must have liked it. He seemed particularily impressed with the toppings that highlighted and complimented the Pate. Overall this brunch/breakfast left us feeling awesome. Not overly full, not greasy completely satisfied and ready for a day in Nashville and/or for a 12 hr. drive.

I'd like to find the words to describe how I feel about this place.. All I can think of is... Love? Love? It seems to be crowding my thoughts. The menu is small which I like and all of the choices are fresh and perfectly balanced. Its clear that the wine list was carefully selected as they were all familiar to me as reputable regional wines of Italy spain and france. The dessert? Hahahahaah! Great! I got a meringue cookie with a choc ganache center with a side of mode. My waiter didn't even flinch when I asked if it was possible to warm up our cookie a it would make my gf happy. 5 stars all deserved.

Marche was a very pleasant surprise. I am always thrilled to find any Breakfast venue that isn't Pancake Pantry! Marche exudes charm from beginning to end. They have a lot of choices, from pastries to full entries. The menu is always changing so I'm afraid to mention specific entrees. I had two eggs on French Bread with some Bacon and it was really delicious. The staff was friendly and helpful when it came to our selections and really made us feel welcome. I look forward to going back again soon!

I've long wanted to go to Marche for the name alone (it's one of Nashville's more famous restaurants) and had a great brunch at its sister restaurant, Margot Cafe, a few years back. I finally got the chance last month. First of all, avoid Marche on the weekends at peak time. We arrived around 11am on a Sunday and the place was packed (and loud). We had to wait around half an hour but ordered coffee from the coffee bar in the meantime. The wait didn't seem too bad, but once we were seated, we were a bit disappointed to see the menu. It was about half the size of the menu from the week before (which said it had been the previous Sunday's menu...apparently, the menu changes regularly), and there was nothing on it that had a "WOW" factor. We all ordered the French toast and a side of eggs, and it was good...just not great. Sort of boring if you get my gist. I would have much rather had the delicious flavored pancakes or the onion and butternut squash crepe listed on the website, but not found on the current menu! I'd go back...I just hope the menu has more diverse offerings next time.

The line can be long, but the food is definitely worth the wait. We went for Sunday brunch and the wait around 11 AM was 45 minutes. The espresso and cider kept us warm as we waited outside. The French toast was very good as well as the steak and eggs

Incredible! Brought the family here for Sunday brunch before leaving town. Absolutely our kind of restaurant. Farm to table, super fresh, and everything was beyond delicious. I had the steak and eggs, along with yogurt & homemade granola. You must must must try the homemade granola. Also, the lattes are beyond good. Go and enjoy!

Went here for brunch on a Tuesday afternoon. Despite being a very busy place during the lunch rush, we were immediately greeted and seated. Our server was very nice and the food was delicious!!! I got the grilled cheese with blackberry and mint (yum!) my hubby got the potato crepe in a tomato sauce and we split the zucchini and summer squash tart, which we agreed was the best part of the meal. If we are ever in Nashville again we will be SURE to stop by Marche!!

Sometimes brunch can be boring or predictable. This was neither! The place was popping, the food was interesting, the people were friendly. We stopped in for fuel before heading down the road to Memphis, and it was the best breakfast decision of the trip. I love brunch. We were told a forty minute wait but were seated in a little over twenty minutes. We didn't mind waiting since we could sip good coffee in the bright and engaging environment of the restaurant. I ordered a crispy little crepe with spicy tomato sauce and white beans and a order of french toast... I love brunch. Did I mention that? My boyfriend ordered some kind of grit and cheese and couscous cake with butternut squash and egg and a side of some super awesome grits. The french toast was made of out magic bread and it was chewy and not overly sweet - GET IT. I wasn't as into the food my boyfriend got - maybe pass on it. The butternut squash was missing some cream/butter/decadent brunchy kind of thing that brunch food needs. Anyway, my food was awesome, the atmosphere is great. They had a fancy pbj on the menu that I saw plenty of cute kids tucking into. Our server was adorable. This place is great!

Outstanding artisan food in this hipster East Nashville neighborhood. Service is excellent and the restaurant feels like you are in a French cafe. Our party thoroughly enjoyed the Lentil Burger (special of the day), Porter Road Pork Burger, Chicken Milanese Sandwich, as well as the bread basket with the delish Grapefruit Marmalade and Nutella! Save room for their incredible Chocolate Orange Mousse Cake and Peach Yogurt Cream Cake. For an even fancier meal, make sure to support their sister restaurant nearby - Margot CafÃ©.

Marche really impressed me with there breakfast menu. It was hard to pick just one dish! It does get busy at times but I always get seated shortly after arriving. The staff is very attentive and friendly and the atmosphere is great. If your looking for a non greasy fresh breakfast this is the place. I will be returning next time I am in Nashville.

Marche Artisan foods was a great little find at the end of a great weekend in Nashville. I was in town for a show, and wanted to grab a good breakfast and cup of latte on my way out of town. I loved it, when I walked in. I felt like I'd walked into a French cafÃ©. Marche is full of the sights, sounds, and smells you'd find in a small - off-the-beaten-path cafÃ© somewhere in Provence. I people, groceries, and furnishings were all perfect. Where Marche fell down was with their delivery. The latte was more like a cappuccino (sorry there is a difference), and the omelet was overcooked. The bread and accompanying spread were superb.

Marche functions as one of the classier little brunch spots on the East Side. It's tucked in Five Points near Woodland Wines and Z's Deli, and, along with Margot, is one of the businesses that are stepping up the appeal of the area for yuppies and 30-somethings with large expendable incomes. On nearly every occasion I've stopped in to Marche to try and get a table, I've been turned off by the typically absurd wait time. More often than not (especially on weekends), a line of eager patrons forms on the sidewalk outside of Marche, and wait times can stretch past an hour. However, when you're lucky enough to be seated without much of a wait or are willing to stick it out, the dining experience is pretty top notch. Marche offers a lot of fancy little gourmet items like curried lamb and omelettes dujour. Their prices aren't exactly cheap, but they certainly aren't bad considering the quality of the food. Portion sizes are a bit smaller than what I'm used to (and I eat kind of a lot for my size), and their "side items" are really more like a leaf or two of spinach with some oil on top. The servers, however, are always very nice and extremely attentive. Despite the problems symptomatic of being a fancy little gourmet restaurant (small portions and prices that are slightly inflated), Marche is a great spot to grab brunch. Just today I had lunch there with a friend, and we treated ourselves to a couple of mimosas. Hey...how many opportunities do you get to have a pomegranate mimosa with your meal?

Wow! March menu is strong. Pork chop, polenta, chard fantastic! Braised Lamb ricotta cannelloni with mushrooms.. Unbelievable. Posting pictures now.

A must for brunch in Nashville! My family arrived for brunch at MarchÃ© on a Saturday morning around 10:00 am. At that time it was a 25 minute wait but continued to become even busier by the time we were finished. Due to our extreme hunger, we decided to follow those in the know and order something from the coffee/take out counter while we waited. We opted for the bread basket which comes with four different spreads--nutella, jam, honey, & butter. I only wish the bread had been softer. At our table, I ordered the market salad and housemade granola with vanilla yogurt. Both were delicious, but the the granola was probably the best I have had! I loved the overall decor and ambiance of the place. As others have noted, the layout is a bit tight, especially in the waiting are. I think there is only one bench in that area. If it is crowded, expect to be on your feet and have servers dodging around you while waiting for your table. Unless you have restless children, I would highly recommend waiting it out for a table and a delicious meal.

I will be moving into Nashville soon and I heard a lot about E. Nashville. While driving around trying to find places to live, I stumbled up on this nice nugget. Reminiscent of most Parisian restaurants (what with the menu chalked on a blackboard and roomy French windows overlooking the...well desolate streets) and hippie-esque waiters, I was captivated by this tiny gem. The food was great, with decent choices for ovo-lacto vegetarians and the coffee good. Their choices of desserts and breads was really worth the 15 minute wait.

This is it! The big one! Marche goes the extra mile. I've been here twice, and it's always a transcendent experience. You'll spend a little more money than you'd like, but that's okay. It will all be okay, in fact, if you get the absurdly delicious pear/ricotta/local honey dish. Just so, so good. I really recommend splitting dishes with friends here, because you don't want to miss out on any of it. Make sure to get something savory and something sweet, because they do both so well. And when they bring the desert menu out (possibly without asking you), just order something. You won't regret it. Also, if you have a long wait, get some coffee at the bar and peruse their selection of artisanal sauces, honey, and other food products. It's all great stuff!

I will be dreaming about the croissant French toast and applewood smoked bacon until I visit Nashville again! My friend and I stopped here on a Tuesday morning and the parking lot was full. We ended up finding a spot to park on the street beside it. We weren't sure what to expect since we're from out of state but we knew we wanted to try the French toast after reading the rave reviews. We were seated immediately despite how busy it was. I loved the interior of the place, you'd never guess it would be as cute as it was judging by the outside of the building. My friend and I ordered the same thing and we were beyond impressed. There's no doubt in my mind this was the best breakfast I've EVER had. The half-order plus the side was the perfect amount of food. It was definitely not cheap- $30 between the two of us- but money well spent! I'll be returning when I find myself in Nashville again.

I am a big fan of this place. They have a creative menu and great prices. They are located more towards the shadier part of east Nashville but don't let that fool You. I never had to wait to get a table and alway please with the service. I have yet to try their brunch but their dinner menus alway deliver. Highly recommend!

A friend of mine told me while I was passing through Nashville I had to go to Marche. It's a great breakfast place and was such a pleasant meal on my way to a 12-hour drive to Philly. The restaurant is filled with sunlight and a pleasant waitstaff. Naturally our waitress took our picture before we left town. I get the feeling she does that a lot, but was happy to oblige. Food was spot-on. Great price and very satisfying with nice flavor. The coffee was ridiculously good! I got a cafe au lait served in a latte bowl that I won't be forgetting and was actually worth the $5. Plus I bought some spices from the East Nashville Spice Co. in their market, and used them on an excellent chicken dish just this week. Go here!

Went for brunch and had terrible service! First, we were told the table would be ready in about 30 minutes but in reality it took over an hour. The worst part was; there was no where to sit and wait so it was very difficult to want to wait that long. Once we were finally seated it took over 15 minutes for anyone to speak to us and even longer for anyone to offer us a drink or appetizer. My close friend was not feeling the well because we had not eaten all day so I waved down a server, who ignored us almost the entire time, and asked if she could bring us anything on the menu that could come out quickly so my friend could get any food in her. After about 15 minutes they arrived with a basket of bread and different spreads that were nothing special. My friend was still not feeling well but thank god we got the bread because it took an HOUR AND 15 MINUTES to get our meal fr when we ordered. The food was nothing special after all that wait.

Went for the second brunch visit today, much delayed and anticipated. I am giving this visit only a four, and that is generous for this visit. Love the place, the energy, and as you wait you MUST have an almond meringue/Nutella cookie. Unbelievable. Perhaps I ordered poorly. I had the steak and eggs with roasted potatoes. Steak was good, potatoes delish, but eggs were very, very bleh. Wifey had the crepes of the day. Hers was only lukewarm. Should have sent it back, but she is not as vociferous as I would be. Previously, the quiche was outstanding, but the one in our party of four that ordered eggs was a tad disappointed. I would say stay away from eggs (quiche being the exception). Still a great spot, but the magic was missing this time.

Smoked salmon brioche on fat sweet toast, Crepes with chicken and chickpeas, omelettes and scones - we stumbled on Marche and were delighted! OK, I have to admit I do scoff at any restaurant with the word artisan in the name, but love the vibe when I get there. There is a little corner dedicated to hand-crafted chocolates, soaps, and foods. We sat down at a big table and happened share it with a Nashville native - great conversation about House elections and home renovations. Oh and the coffee is served with fresh and thick cream. Entrees run about $10-15. Yum!

Great breakfast! It's one of the few breakfasts where I don't feel like I'm going to die after I eat there. Cocktails were mediocre but the food absolutely made up for it.

Not my style The food was good (eggs and bacon) but this is too fancy a breakfast spot for me - I much prefer a diner where food is less an art. This spot is great to take people who consider themselves foodies but nothing about my initial visit beckons for me to return.

The line out the door on the weekends is there for a reason, I got there 15 minutes before opening on a Sunday and still had to take my place in line. Overall they have great coffee, pastries, and menu options. I love the decor inside and the giant windows make it feel so inviting. This is a good place for a breakfast or brunch for an occasion. Marche really shines with their sweeter options (pastries, croissant french toast, etc) but I haven't been wildly impressed by their savory choices. Don't get me wrong, I still clean my plate just fine but it isn't my first choice for brunch in Nashville for this reason. If hollandaise took a permanent residency on their menu I might change my mind.

We stopped into Marche on a recent visit to Nashville. We heard about this restaurant from two East Nashville business owners with good foodie taste, so we decided to give them a try. This place was an awesome spot to stop for a quick bite to eat and is conveniently located to many popular East Nashville businesses and downtown. I enjoyed the lentil salad, while my guests enjoyed the leek tart and turnover. We shared the bread basket which is accompanied by peanut butter, whipped butter, Nutella, honey, and jam. I thought this was fun, but the bread didn't win me over. In fact, I questioned (to myself) whether or not the bread was fresh. It was just a bit too dry and crumbly. Aside from the bread, all of the other food was quite delicious and fresh. I'd definitely check this place out again.

I read about Marche on numerous Nashville food guides, so I was excited to try their breakfast with my family. I'm still not quite sure how to pronounce the title (Mar-shay? Marsh?) but we thoroughly enjoyed our experience! We attempted to go again before we left but unfortunately arrived a little earlier than opening time. The morning we dined the restaurant (A Thursday around 9 AM) was busy but not crowded. The atmosphere is rustic and pleasant, an evolved "shabby chic," if you will (I hate the term shabby chic, but it was a well done version of that style). We were seated immediately at a larger table; another party joined us later, European style. It didn't bother us. Our waitress was friendly and quick. The food was fresh and flavorful. Our favorite items: - croissant French toast- I ordered a half size, it was a perfect portion for me. I would've liked a small piece of fruit on the side, but it was a really tasty dish. - omelette- my mom kept asking us to try it. She loved it. Other items: -croissant with jam -salad greens -a salad that was a special for Good Friday -coffee and organic tea Everything we ordered was fresh, and there wasn't one dish we disliked. Marche is a great breakfast spot in East Nashville.

My DF & I went to Nashville during the coldest weekend of the entire year. He was so excited to take me to his old 'stomping grounds' of his previous city and Marche was on his list for breakfast. We sat in the freezing restaurant, that had space heaters placed throughout try and elevate the temperature, but served us water that the was full of ice. We ordered the crepes and biscuits & gravy; and the crepes tasted like pizza and the biscuits was more like a chicken pot pie. We left disappointed and still hungry.

Zeb M.

Why haven't I reviewed Marche already?! Maybe because they're too wonderful for words. Marche offers the best brunch in town, hands down. Everything from the bacon and eggs to the grits (and I don't even like grits!) and croissants (to die for) are simply top notch. I think Marche is unique and such a beloved place in Nashville because their menu is reasonably priced at all times (compare their dinner menu to some "highbrow" places in town). They offer the best quality in food and make you feel fancy without breaking the bank. I can get behind that.

Been wanting to try this place since my last trip to Nashville. We went here on a Saturday morning around 10 am and it looked pretty busy. The parking lot is very small. If you're not lucky enough to get a space in the parking lot, your best bet is to park on the street or park in the "pay" parking across the street for $3. The Rock n' Roll marathon was going on that weekend and a lot of streets were blocked. We had an adventure trying to get to the restaurant. Even though it was crowded we only had about a 15 minute wait for our table. Not too bad plus we ordered cafe mochas in the little "cafe" area while we waited. Once seated, we already knew what we wanted to order because we looked at the menu while we waited. To start we ordered Blood orange mimosas. They were very good and tasty! For plates I had an half-order of croissant french toast, side of bacon and parmesan cheese grits. The hubby ordered Steak and eggs. Everything I ate was good, but nothing to rave about. The parmesan cheese grits were a little dry and lacked flavor. The croissant french toast also didn't taste as good as I thought it would. My hubby ordered his steak medium and it was cooked well done! The steak was so tough and they drizzled a sauce on top of it which tasted very similar to A1 steak sauce. Overall this place is good, but I wasn't too impressed. Maybe my expectations were too high. The service is decent, the atmosphere has a classy vibe,and this place seems to be very popular with hipsters. I say try if you must, but if I lived in Nashville I would not visit it on a regular basis.

Great place for breakfast & brunch! Firstly, be prepared for a wait at brunch. It's not a huge place, but there is a separate counter for getting coffee, pastries, bread, & baked goods to-go. There is also a nice selection of products to buy - shopping bags, coffee, food, made-in-Nashville items, etc. Atmosphere: Bustling, but nice! I love the rustic simple decor & design. Service: Good. Very attentive & prompt. Food: Super! (Portions are big too, so we usually share.) Their croissant french toast is fantastic! Steak & eggs - tasty. Great breakfast potatoes. Only been a couple times, but everything I've had there has been delicious. Definitely a go-to for breakfast & brunch for us! I hope to come back for dinner sometime. :)

I want to alert my fella helpers what a great place this is. We got there 15 minutes before open and were 4th in line, so plan accordingly. The inside is absolutely charming and welcoming. The people seem to be required to have the best personalities on the planet. Very helpful and kind. The coffee is brewed just right. Cappuccinos are perfect. Everything here is excellent. No shortcuts. Pastries fresh and done right. Crust on my quiche was flaky and buttery , as it should be. Appetizer of peach tartine is a must. Bacon so good!! People- this places resets the 5 star standard. Chase, thank you for your spot on advice and super friendly care of us.

Neema C.

After we had waited so long to be seated, we tried to get something interesting in the menu but it had a few choices. These are what we got: Parmesan grits, egg and bacon; and steak. The steak was alright. The egg was dry and tough. The bacon was chewy. And the Parmesan grits was bland. The service was not so attentive maybe because it was crowded at 1:30 PM. We ordered sweet tea no ice. Both of our drinks had ice. One bright side was the water, it tasted like drinking water, not tap water (no fluoride/chloride taste).

Lei B.

With all the great reviews on Yelp I was expecting a lot more. We came here for brunch on Saturday and the place was pretty packed. I think we waited at least 20 minutes before being seated. The menu looked pretty simple to me and nothing really stood out. Eventually I just ordered the steak and eggs and a cup of coffee. My sister ordered oatmeal and a half order of the croissant French toast. When my meal came I was very disappointed at the size of the "steak" which was three very small pieces. For a price tag of $12 you'd think I'd at least get 2oz of steak. I tasted the french toast my sister ordered and it was good. At least the coffee I ordered was nice and strong. Don't order the steak and eggs if you decide to come here. Not worth the time and money.

Best roasted potatoes I've had. Serves Drew's Brews coffee which is seriously amazing coffee. Wait times can get pretty crazy and it is LOUD in there. Will continue to be regulars despite the loudness and wait times. It's delicious.

I have been to Marche about dozen times and intend on returning over and over again. This place has everything going for it: the food is delish, the service is prompt, and the ambiance is quite nice. No matter what I order there, I am never disappointed - and for the right price. They also make a very good cappuccino. And their desserts are to die for. If you're looking for a relaxed, reasonably price eatery with delish food, this is the place for you.

40 minutes wait for a table on a Sunday morning? That's not me! Why I did it? ...because everything was looking so great! Waiting was a wise decision. I liked literally everything of this place: The latte: perfectly foamy and made of a good real coffee. Croissants: crispy, fresh, and delicious. They are not perfect as the one you would get in France, but they are good :) The brunch was almost a perfection of taste, and that's why I love France cousin so much. Especially in the States, French cousin has been one of the few that preserved its authentic "approach" to food, that in this case it is based on: complexity but with balance, and in this place they got it right. Wait staff is just perfect. Nice, polite, very descriptive of their menu, and fast. A must go in town!

Cathy S.

Whether breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner, Marche never fails to bring great food and professional service. Love their Sunday brunch, but be forewarned, arrive early. Before opening the hungry customers start lining up. The atmosphere is lovely and relaxed. The coffee, the pastries, the menu choices, all divine. Try a chocolate croissant. You will want to take one (or two or a dozen) home. No matter the meal, the food at Marche will not disappoint. For the bargain diners, brunch for two won't break the bank. But shhh...don't tell. Marche is our Nashville hidden treasure!

When we packed up and moved to Phoenix from Nashville I forget to put Marche in a suitcase. Fortunately we were back in Nashville for a visit and made Marche a top spot on our list of things to do. It is hard to say when is the best time to visit Marche. If you go for brunch on the weekend be prepared to wait. And you may share a table and make some new friends. Hubby always orders steak and eggs even when he has no intention to do so. He can't help himself. I tend to change up my order each visit. Yesterday I had the croissant French toast. Warning: order the half order or share with a friend. Other brunch options I love include oatmeal with nuts and fruit, egg salad (the best ever), eggs and applewood bacon, and hot chocolate. While we did enjoy brunch occasionally, our favorite meals were on week nights. Their menu changes with the season and over the course of several years it is pretty hard to pick a favorite. Three things stand out in our collective memories: mussels in the most flavorful broth, watermelon rind jelly with assorted cheeses and breads, and the best rabbit with root vegetables this gal had ever tasted. The only thing I have left to say is: Marche please open a location in Phoenix. We need you here!

Good brunch spot for a small group. There were four of us at 1pm on a holiday Friday and had about a 45 minute wait--not terrible. We all had drinks while we waited for the table, and I was told the sangria was good. I was still in recovery, so I had a cafe au lait, which was really good but came in a bowl without a handle-- still can't figure that out. It seems the menu changes regularly with what is fresh and available, which I appreciate. My meal was good (cassoulet over toast with poached eggs and a side of bacon), but unremarkable, and the table seemed to agree. ...They also had a few long tables that each only had a small party sitting at each with plenty of open seats... the atmosphere would lend itself to seating multiple parties at these tables, and had they done so there wouldn't have been a wait at all.

Emily C.

The wait is long, but well worth it (40-45 minutes on weekends around 10AM). They serve the food out to you fast and I've ordered the eggs, bacon, and grits both times. The grits were so creamy, and rich that I loved it. With the bit of cheese that they used, the flavor was perfect. For dessert, creme brulee was delicious. The other time, I had the french toast croissant which was great as well - fluffy, sweet, and exactly what it sounds like (french toast made from croissant). I would avoid the steak and eggs, and their bread platter (which for us didn't have any interesting cheeses). The grapefruit brulee was mediocre and if we had to order it again, I would just go with the creme brulee.

We've only been here once recently but will definitely be back. Being new to Nashville, of the breakfast places we've tried-this one so far has been memorable and made us want to try other things on their menu. We had an omelette, a frittata, and grits which were served with a small salad garnish. We also had a side of their french toast croissants (which we thoroughly enjoyed and I don't like french toast much). Our bill came to approximately $40. He liked the ambiance and said it felt like some of the cafes in Europe with the furniture selection, cement floors, large windows, and simple draping. The customers ranged from late 20's to early 50's it seemed and most were dressed to fit the scene, trendy and hip.

There have only been a few instances in my life when I have tried a place for the first time, then the very next day, came back and ordered the same exact thing. This happened at Marche. Its a cute little place in Five Points, pretty atmosphere, lots of natural sunlight, and for the most part always busy, especially around brunch time on weekends. But what awesome brunch place isn't? Both times I waited around 30-40 minutes to be sat, which I could care less about, like I always say, quality food is worth the wait. They have a nice little food boutique-like set up to browse through as well. The service was fantastic on both occasions, super friendly and prompt once we were seated. And they actually recognized me on the second visit and said something. They have a nice one page menu, not overly complex like a lot of places, but still plenty of options to suit whatever palate you may have. I always enjoy trying things that sound odd on paper. So naturally I went with the Savory Crepe with goat cheese served over a bed of creamed corn, and holy smokes, WOW. That combo of flavors literally blew my mind. Everything from the combination to the presentation was on point. The next trip I ordered the same thing along with one of their fresh pastries, and it too was extremely satisfying. I will definitely frequent this place. So overall, if you are in the mood for a fresh artisanal brunch, and don't mind waiting a few minutes, go check this place out!

I love a place that's worth the hype. You know the ones... when you arrive in a new city and seek out one of the highest rated places on Yelp - then you try it - and fall in love like everybody else. Yeah, that's not MarchÃ©. We came on a Saturday for brunch and had a 45 minute wait. No big deal, right? I mean, it's one of (if not the) highest rated brunches in Nashville. While we waited for our table, we ordered some chai lattes. They came out in a giant bowl rather than a cup. I don't know if this was supposed to be cute or something, but I thought it was just plain weird for the sake of being weird. Totally unnecessary. To top it off, the latte wasn't all that great. Once we were seated, our server was very nice. She was friendly and chatty, and I really liked her. But once we got our food, she disappeared! I have no clue what happened, but she never came back to see us until we had to flag her down for our checks. The food was just okay. Each of us got something different, but the sentiment was the same for all of us. I had the eggs, grits, and sausage. The eggs were fine, but not very flavorful... I can't make much better scrambled eggs. The grits were adequate, but nothing extraordinary. And the sausage was dry and bland. I honestly don't understand this place. It's very cute and the people are friendly, but I can't get behind waiting 45 minutes for mediocre food and slow ass service. Next time I'm in Nashville, I'll be skipping MarchÃ©... with their fussy accent mark.

Waited over an hour for a table. Poor table management as many tables were open and they weren't clearing them fast enough. A lot of hype for good, not great food given how long we waited. Better meal and service at the Garden Brunch Cafe...a must in Nashville!

Yum! I was pleasantly surprised with this cute place. Marche Artisan Foods is a European style cafe and marketplace. They offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner items with simple, seasonal ingredients. They also offer house made pastries, coffee & espresso bar, fresh fish, meats, cheeses, and gourmet grocery items for sale. We came here for brunch on Saturday. I had the Lamb Shepherd's Pie with a Green Salad - it was slightly game-y, but it was still very tender and delicious with the savory sauce with peas, with the nice mashed potatoes on top, and a side of fresh arugula salad with a light vinaigrette dressing. My sister had the Risotto Cake with Kale Pesto and Fried Eggs - this was absolutely divine! Very light and healthy, the risotto cake itself had a nice crispy exterior, and the kale pesto was not overpowering but complemented the cake very well. Service was friendly and there seemed to be a lot of people dining in. There is a small lot for your car, but be on the lookout for those who are zooming off of Main St. :D +Risotto Cake with Kale Pesto and Fried Eggs - YUM! +small lot for your car

I went here with 3 other people for brunch on a Saturday. We got here around 1 and had a 40 minute wait. It's nice that it's by 5 Points and there were plenty of cute boutiques and antique stores to occupy our time while we waited. My friend and I had Grapefruit Mimosa's: Good! The boys had Cucumber Sake Bloody Mary's: Ehhh... They sounded better than they were. A morning hangover Bloody needs liquor (which this place doesn't have) The food was on point.. warm and fresh. Everyone enjoyed their meals. I had the buffalo cucumber melt (I'm basic...what can I say) and it was delicious. Definitely recommend to any veggie friends. The service was fine. Nothing outstanding but nothing wrong either.

I really don't get how this place is ranked so high on Yelp. We waited more than 45 minutes for this, assuming hundreds of Yelpers couldn't be wrong. But alas, we were proven wrong... ^Decor Cute, eclectic touches. There's a little area inside you can browse while waiting endlessly for meh food. ^Drinks Bloody Mary's were great! I asked for extra heat, but I didn't really taste it. Either way, it hit the spot so nice I asked for it twice. Before we were seated, got a couple of chai teas that were so-so. ^Food Ok, this is where most of my disappointment lies. Eggs were bland, sausage was overcooked. And this was the observation of my entire group: food is just so-so. How does one mess up eggs? At that price, I expect better and some veggies. ^Service Started off great, hostess was super nice. Waitress was pleasant, then disappeared after bringing our food. It wasn't crowded, so maybe she didn't care for us because we weren't hipsters? Not saying that to be snarky, but that was the perception I got.

Pros: * My friends and I loved this place because of the delicious food, beverages and comfortable and airy ambiance. * Amazing iced latte and steak & eggs. Wish they served more than just 3 small pieces of steak but still delicious. Tips: * MarchÃ© Artisan Foods changes the menu periodically so don't be upset if you don't see Shrimp Grits on the menu * Make sure to come here early because it's a very popular place. When we arrived around 10 AM on a Saturday we waited about 10-15 minutes, then around 12-1PM the lines were insane.

Needed my afternoon coffee fix so I decided on having a little something to go with it. Today I decided to be bad and go for the croissant bread pudding - today's variation happend to be chocolate almond with a vanilla crÃ¨me anglaise...how can you go wrong with that! Coffee here is Drew's Brews, a local favorite they use the French roast here. The bread pudding is moist but firm with lots of vanilla bean in the crÃ¨me anglaise. ...yumm! (Good thing I skipped lunch) This place is always a good choice.

One of the many "gems" here in East Nashville! If you haven't been here for brunch, shame on you...Go, go now. Chef Margot uses only the freshest seasonal ingredients and it shows! Each dish is beautifully simple without being pretentious, just the way I like it! A BIG thank you to the folks at MarchÃ© for "keeping it real and local"!

Pretty much a 5, but I don't like giving 5s unless I've been multiple times & it is always perfect. Haha. Everything we ordered was amazing. Chocolate croissant, croissant French toast, bacon, my over medium egg was cooked perfectly (which is rare), potatoes, cappuccino, cortado & coffee!! I have been on a mission to find the best French toast & this is definitely at the very TOP!! Our server was very patient, kind & helpful.

Tried this place for Sunday Brunch with 4 others. It was pretty busy. I ordered Steak and Eggs, medium rare, and they came well done. I didn't send them back however. I was pretty hungry considering it was a late lunch and a bit of a wait. Despite this, the steak had good flavor. My friend had the Croissant French toast which was pretty amazing. Service was average . Over-all a good experience.

Went here for a Sunday brunch with the girls while visiting Nashville. We showed up around 11 and only had to about 15 minutes for the table. It is a very bright and airy restaurant. DÃ©cor is mismatched wood tables and iron chairs. It felt very cool, casual, and comfortable while feeling slightly upscale. Every table was scattered with mimosas and smiling face. (make sure to check out their mimosa list, it includes interesting options like pear or pomegranate). The service was very friendly just a bit slow, but that was noticed everywhere in Nashville (ways of the South?). The food was in the top five brunches I have ever had. I ordered a bloody mary to start (of which they made extra spicy per request) and then ordered half of the croissant French toast (you heard me...CROISSANT french toast), a side of extra crispy bacon (done to perfection), and a side of their roasted red potatoes and homemade ketchup. The French toast was truly unique and the half order was more than enough. I wish I could find this back home in California. Oh also, we found out we missed Robert Downey Jr and Jeremy Renner brunching with their families by an hour. If RDJ loves it, you know it MUST be good. 24.media.tumblr.com/c8abâ€¦ Check it out if you can.

Favorite brunch haunt in all of Nashville. If it's on the menu (options change seasonally!), you must get the grapefruit brulee. Unreal. Mimosas are fabulous. Great coffee options, I've honestly never had a meal that wasn't superb. Service is usually pretty great--although the wait can be long if you go at a peak time. Parking across the street in a metered lot, however the pay stand is typically broken.

This place is so great. Food is exceptional, coffee is good, atmosphere is comfortable. Come here! It's where locals go for delicious breakfast. Tip: don't dress like a scrub. This is in a hip part of town and people tend to look like they fit in.

I was super excited to try MarchÃ© as I've been wanting to for a while. I was a little disappointed with the slow service and the menu as there were not a lot of choices, but what I ended up getting (the omelette with Brie and asparagus) was delicious! Also tried the fruit tartine and it was legendary!

I love Marche! The food is incredible, the building has a great ambiance, and the staff are friendly and courteous. I got the croissant French toast, and my husband got the omelet- both were fantastic.

The food is nothing to write home about, but it was pretty tasty. I had an omelet (goat cheese and spinach) with pork sausage and the croissant french toast (it's not as delicious as it sounds). Everything was solid, but I found the customer service here to be disappointing...our plates at on the counter waiting to be delivered for about 10 minutes before they were brought over--I literally was standing up about to go pick them up myself when our server got to them...and this is after we waited for 1 hour to be seated. #notcool. Also...they don't really mention this anywhere, but seating is communal, so you might be at a table with a bunch of strangers...I am not really into this so I think it also took away from the experience for me.

I love Marche, but am unable to come here very often because A. it is on the East side and B. it is SO busy on the weekends, especially during brunch when I really want to eat here. But my first experience YEARS ago left such a good impression, I had to come back. If anyone watches Portlandia, this would be a place to wait in BrunchTown down the street for a chance at a table! I came back to try Marche during the week at lunch to avoid a crowd, and it was perfect timing! We snagged a table right away and started with a delicious latte and coffee. It was perfect. I love the space and the constantly changing menu. We had a very tough time deciding what to order, but decided to split the apple and brie appetizer on toast with honey drizzled on top. It was sweet but not too rich, and we loved it! We also shared the savory pumpkin tart and open faced braised pork sandwich. Both were exceptional! My friend also ordered the croissant French toast (full order) and we were quite stuffed by the time we had eaten. The portions were large, and I'd definitely recommend splitting orders and you definitely do not each need an appetizer. But, we couldn't decide and were rolled out of there once we had eaten :) I love Marche and am sad I can't visit more often! Maybe I need to get up earlier on the weekends....

If I want to impress an out of town business guest for breakfast or lunch -- Marche. If I want to go on a brunch date with my wife-- Marche. If I want to eat delicious food with three picky toddlers -- Marche. Splurges-- the hot chocolate, the orange juice, the local bacon, the croissant French toast (yes, with real maple syrup!)..... Live the steak and eggs, and their omelette a and creeps are perfectly done. Their wait staff is kind, careful, prompt, and just all around perfect. I am a picky eater, allergic to way too any things, and I don't like eating out for things I can cook better at home. However, I am never regretful of spending money at Marche'.

What I liked: 1. Delicious, creative, tasty menu! 2. Great variety- The menu changes with the seasons and fresh, available ingredients. 3. Service - The line can get long, but the hostesses do a great job of managing expectations. What I didn't like: 1. The long weekend wait - though worth it if you stomach (figuratively) 45 mins -1hour+ during prime brunch time 2. No room to wait - While you can grab a coffee or Mimosa at the bar, most of your wait will be standing room only. The Verdict- Worth the wait, bring the paper, grab a coffee, make some friends and get ready for a fantastic brunch.

A delicious meal and reasonably priced for the quality. I came here for dinner on a Weds night and I was shocked at how empty it was. The waitress said they're known for their lunch and brunch. My dinner was amazing and I really don't understand why it wasn't busier. They have a nice drink selection, a simple but varied menu, and the ambiance is very bright and clean with a little rustic feel. The service (Ashley) was also wonderful. I will definitely be back next time I'm in town.

For the first time in all the visits I've had, my meal was actually hot! It was so hot, I had to blow on my eggs. Excellent! Had I had my paintbrush... I would have painted a smile on my waitresses face. She had a scowl the whole morning. I was afraid to ask her for more coffee.

MarchÃ© Artisan is why I love Yelp. Never would have found this place on our own. And my life would have been emptier because of it. Everything we had was fantastic! Egg sandwich - amazing! French Toast - perfect! CrÃ©pes - delicious! Eat here!

Bailey M.

I adore everything about this restaurant. Normally I would not rate 5 stars for a place that tends to be so crowded that the noise level gets too high or the wait is an hour. But here? It's worth it. The food is divine and the restaurant is simply gorgeous with an awesome view.

My husband, 2 year old, and I have been going to Marche for a long time. The waitresses are wonderful and truly nice. The food always feels like fine dining and eats like home-cooking. We love this place and will grow old having many meals there.

Robert A.

With all the great reviews we expected so much more. The food was decent- but nothing to write home about. There were not many gluten free options. The menu on yelp was not the current menu so I was a little disappointed in that as well. It was good but we definitely don't feel compelled to go back.

I REALLLY wanted to love this place. Having just moved from Boulder I love fresh food from a boutique kind of restaurant. I probably should have gotten the spinach and gruyere omelette, but I've been wanting to try Poutine for a while and thought I'd give this a shot. It was pretty good, but it was VERY peppery. I don't mean spicy, just lots and lots of black pepper. Everything else in it was good, but it was just too peppery. Other knocks on this place - the clueless host who really needs to shave his mustache told us 20 minutes at 10:20. We sat down at 11:20. While we waited by the host stand this guy kept telling people 20-30 minutes even as the crowd grew. One girl confronted him about the wait and he just said, "Well, it's hard for me to tell time." WTF? I'm going to give this place another chance to try things like the grapefruit brÃ»lÃ©e. I just hope that next time we wait an hour we get our own table. Yes, they sat us with another group. Other than that, if you are a 5 points hipster, this is absolutely the place to be for Sunday brunch.

I hate Brussels sprouts. I hate rutabagas. Just seeing their names make me wrinkle my nose. That is, until I ate the Vegetable Hash from Marche Artisan Foods. You must understand, I am not one of those people that orders steamed vegetables or even cooked-to-death country vegetables. I like green beans. That's about it. The food came and I hesitantly took a bite of the hash first. I knew it was Brussels sprouts. It could not be disguised. Then came the next bite, this time with rutabagas added. Oh. Nice. Yummy. Another bite, then another. These were Brussels sprouts and rutabagas with which I was not familiar! Oh, don't forget the meatloaf, which I almost did in this hash love fest. Unlike most turkey meatloaves, this was not dry but juicy and flavorful. The prosciutto wrapped around it was a nice touch. Plus, the serving is two very nice-sized pieces. Then I noticed the oohs and ahhhs all around at our table. My companions loved their dishes: Braised Pork Sandwich, Curry-Glazed Chicken with Couscous, and a Portabella Sandwich. Conversation slowed dramatically except for the "Mmm. You have to try this!" Service during the meal was attentive but not intrusive - my favorite kind.

I had the one of the best brunch items here that I'd ever had before, and it was not something I'd ever think of ordering, had my friend not pushed me to do so. It was sliced peaches on brioche toast with ricotta and honey. All the components were so flavorful and fresh, I savored every single bite. I can see the relationship between Marche and Margot clearly. They both stick to simple dishes, made well. I love that you can shop around the store side of the establishment, and that bakery side is separate. I also love that we spotted a very grumpy Jack White at the next table! I'd been here on a previous trip to Nashville, so when I drove through again, I really wanted to go back. My friend suggested we try Margot for a change and I'm glad we did, but I've still got Marche on my mind and I'll be back on my next trip, for sure.

We had a group from Work go for a farewell lunch for a Graduate student. (I had been before for a brunch years a go) everyone else was new and the Grad student picked it because she had heard so much about it and always wanted to try it. We had a Party of 8 and sat quickly the waiter was great but the food took forever to come out and 4 of the orders were not what we had ordered from the Menu. We had ordered a Potato and Red Pepper Omelet....we were served a Salmon and Cream Cheese Omelet....No one informed us that there was an issue with our order...just sat it down for us and nothing said about the change....our people noticed and and asked what the filling was and then they told us.... 3 of us tried to eat it one returned hers...it was not a good taste and none of us finished it. One also had a hair in it (discovered as she got to the end of the meal)...we asked to see the manager 3 times before he finally got up from the table he was sitting at to speak to us and talked down to us and gave us a 10% discount customer complaint discount....no "I'm Sorry" nothing like that....Finally he took off the charge for the Omelet with a hair...but still charged her for a cup of Coffee. Never again Food was a 2 out of 5...Management 0 out of 5

On my second trip back here, I didn't do the snack/pastry shopping but was able to eat breakfast here. And it is a fantastic breakfast place. The prices seem a little steep, but the portions are just right. The food is fresh, well prepared and is of high quality. It seems their food is generally locally sourced, which is always a plus! If you're not too hungry, getting a side of eggs and bacon or sausage is perfect and barely $5. If you want a full plate, they're still under $10 and should definitely fill all but the most glutinous of us. The bacon was not crispy, which in my book isn't too big of a deal as long as it has some structure to it, which it did. Who really wants bacon that breaks up like crackers? That's just too far, and what Waffle House is for. The sausage on the other hand tasted delicious, very much like a good breakfast sausage/banger.

Megan M.

A sign of how good food can often be is how long the wait is. And during brunch, expect a wait. But it's well worth it. Barista menu, beverages and pastries available while you wait. The menu is a mix of sweet and savory, something to please everyone. Recommend the grits, crepes and anything that comes with local honey. Would be a regular here if we lived in East Nashville.

Bruce K.

Arriving just before breakfast was due to end, no worries. Full breakfast is still available even at 5 minutes before the hour. Just as well, because my friend went at it like a bull at a fence. French toast, bacon, eggs, toast, hash browns and a big glass of OJ. I was a little calmer, hitting up the corn and carrot hash, topped with two lightly fried eggs (no poached, I'm afraid). Coffee was excellent, the food was excellent, the service was excellent. A really good meal. Totally would return. Very small parking lot.

I love this place. It sits on a corner in East Nashville, across the street from an automotive store. The location doesn't do it justice, except for the fact that it is on the East Side. I think the Eastsiders do things ahead of everyone else in Nashville. Their food is always spot on. Every time I go, I cannot wait to plan my next visit. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

Vickie R.

Good, but overrated. Apparently we have to be standing at the doors when it opens, not an hour later when normal people wake up. An extra fan (or two) in the waiting area would've been nice. There was technically a fan above us, but something is weird with the ventilation because I could barely feel the air moving. I had the steak and eggs, cooked to order. I did enjoy the perfectly done medium rare steak with the peppery sauce that went with it. I used to live in the South and I miss my grits. Marche has awesome grits! My husband was talked into a blood orange mimosa. Maybe my palate isn't sophisticated enough, but I couldn't tell the difference between a mimosa made with blood orange vs. a "regular" mimosa. I'm glad I tried it, but that's about it. I remember thinking in my head, this place came highly recommended, have I simply become a brunch snob because good brunch options are popping up all over Detroit and that's why I'm not loving it as much as I should? Nah, I think it's just overrated.

This place is light and airy. My salad was delicious as hell. I had the Greek salad with halloumi. Have you guys had halloumi? Do yourself a favor and gave some. It's one of the best effing cheeses I've ever had. BUT I hate how they serve their tea. The contraption they serve it in makes it impossible to pick up when it's hot. I had to use a cloth napkin. You think you can hold it up by that black ribbed area at he top. BUT no you can't because the jar itself is too heavy to hold by just the top. So Either you drop it or you burn yourself. I know it's trendy to serve hot beverages in glass but it's STUPID. Please stop!!!!

came into Nashville for the Memorial Day weekend for a wedding. The wedding was only in the afternoon so my family and i had the morning to ourselves. we went into Nashville looking for a nice place to eat. The area this place is in seems kinda sketch... some might say ghetto... but i had to try this place out b/c Yelp doesn't lie! AND BOY ARE YOU ALL CORRECT. this place is wonderful. Typical Saturday Morning brunch wait times/business. They have homemade jams/honeys for you to buy.. fresh loaves of bread, and a coffee shop where you can enjoy coffee while you wait to be seated. Once we sat down we ordered two croissant/popovers with jam OMG SO GOOD! and fresh... there is nothing in this world that speaks amazing food like freshly baked bread. For our meals: The omlette, the savory crepe, and the frittata. Everything was superb. I mean really sooo fresh and delicious. If i'm ever in Nashville again i will def be back!

shrimp and grits, made with tasso ham. thats whats up. im not sure when i will be in the city of nashville again but i do know that when im there, i will go to marche and have the shrimp and grits again. so good i dont even know what else to say about my experience here but thats not to say the service was not good. at all. my waitress was very nice and very attentive. oh man, that tasso ham gave the gravy a spicy kick to it thats just perfect. wow, i got the cravings...

On a work trip to Nashville, my friends and I relied heavily on recommendations. This place came highly recommended and had great reviews and lived up to all of it. We tried a lot of brunch things - bread with spreads, fruit tartine, savory crepe, vegetable hash, omelette - and they were all delicious. Great atmosphere too!
(5)
Tricia W.

Right on. Despite a brief wait in a small crowded space, this place wins. Bread basket was a nice start to a fantastic meal. Tried the housemade sausage and croissant French toast off of my friends plate. Yum. I had the scrambled eggs and cheese grits with bacon. Yum. The Mr. had the roast beef sandwich and loved it. Great coffee too. Come prepared to wait but you will leave happy and full!

Came for breakfast during the week and luckily no line at all. The Shrimp and Grits entree was as good as I have ever had. I highly recommend it. Even the toast and jam was really good. Friendly service as well. I can definitely understand the high ratings.

Great French lunch place. Son loves crepes and sandwiches and salads are good Great place for brunch and best freaking coffee ever. Great for a visit Our server was great so maybe the person with a large party did not have that server . It seems like it could be iffy but our one time we were happy Close to golf so a quick stop after is worth it.

I'm very excited to say this was the chosen brunch spot for a recent road trip through Tennessee. Based on the reviews, I was expecting a good meal, but the consistency of every dish and depth of flavor really puts this place above and beyond. I don't think I've ever been anywhere that every dish delighted as much as this one. We tried the Peaches & Cream Tartine, Chilled Avocado Soup, Quiche with Squash Casserole, Green Tomato Curry, and Pecan Macaron. Everything was perfect and exactly what you would expect by the description. I don't even know what else to say about the food - just go. I can't even pick a favorite dish. I also had the blood orange mimosa and it was perfectly mixed - the right amount of champagne to juice ratio. In addition, the service was impeccable. The wait was about 45 minutes to get a table (not bad for brunch on a Sunday), but once we sat we were promptly greeted and served in a very friendly and hospitable manner. Not only that, but the waitress took it upon herself to have every dish split for us since we were sharing everything. I've not been anywhere that's done that before! I believe there is street parking if you can find it (not sure if you have to pay for that or not), but we parked in the pay lot right across the street from the restaurant and that worked well.

Walked down here from our AirBnB rental. There was a long wait - roughly 40 minutes - but we had heard great things so we agreed to it. The waiting area was stiflingly hot - I was pouring sweat and people seemed to be jockeying for space underneath the ceiling fan. I ordered the savory crepe and got a side of grits. The crepe was good, but not amazing. The parmesan grits took a bit of getting used to - the creaminess of the grits were countered by a slight sourness of the cheese. I would order it again, but it was a bit of a shock. Overall, I thought the place didn't quite live up to its hype, and looking at other brunch restaurants in the area, I think I could have had a superior meal at a slightly lower price point.

SUPER long wait for a mediocre meal. A little overpriced for what a simple Sunday brunch it was. Seemed like the staff was more concerned with turning tables than how the service quality was.

Ahmad F.

This is the worst spot ever in Nashville. What is so french about it. What is so organic about it. Just because you put fancy names on the menu makes you organic & french ? To begin with do they know what a bloody mary is ? It was bloody Gary. Cucumber infused sake ? Your serving juice to people. I swear this was the worst oatmeal of my life. It was simple oatmeal with orange jam. I swear. I can do better at home. Omelette had nothing special goat cheese n mushroom. All bland no taste nothing. Bread was terrible. It was a day old. Only thing good was coffee & french toast. Bottom line :- its a broad day light rip off. The food sucks !!! The service is terrible. Your not french nor organic. So cut the crap. I can do better breakfast at home. I challenge the chef for a throw down anytime & please stop acting like a wanna be Williamsburg attitude. You clearly have no clue about food. I would kindly invite you for a tour of williamsburg anytime to slap your palates. Peace !!!!

Love this local business. I was there promptly at nine this morning and there was a line. I was able to get a seat. The brunch is the best. I had the crepes and my dining companion had French toast. I tried hers. It was delicious. Mine was too. I love the savory crepes. The coffee was good and the server / owner (?) was very attentive! One of my favorite brunch spots in town.

There was a pretty long wait, but hey, it's Sunday brunch in Nashville. There's a little coffee and pastry counter which you can grab a cup of coffee from while you wait so that's nice. We were meeting friends from out of town and wanted to take them someplace memorable. And I think we did a great job there! The croissant french toast was AMAZING. Like holy-crap-how-have-I-never-had-this -before? good. I had the yogurt and granola which was also very good. Everything tasted fresh and while the meal was generously portioned, it didn't seem overly heavy. My friend said the grits were amazing and I had a bite of the chicken sausage which was also very tasty. The only person at the table who didn't get the french toast got the quiche. It looked awesome too and he said it was great. I honestly can't wait to go back to this place. It was cozy, the food was really wonderful and the service was stellar. Even during our wait, the hostess kept us updated and made sure we knew when we would be seated. I would take friends from out of town here again and I would totally eat here again just in general. I think we'll add this into our regular rotation.

My first time at Marche was last Sunday! Went kind of overboard and ordered WAY too much food but everything was fantastic. The French toast was the best and if I went back I would only order that. Other highlights: strawberry balsamic tartine, grits, blood orange mimosa. - @gluttoneats -

One of my favorite places to stop in whenever in Nashville! Their brunch never fails us, and neither does their people watching. Their lattes come in a giant bowl and their croissant French toast! Oh my! Their staff is always very warm and friendly. But overall, I think that the neighborhood and atmosphere are really what make MarchÃ© an excellent brunch destination in Nashville.

Samantha C.

Lovely little rustic breakfast spot near Five Points with very tasty food. Tips: - Come early on the weekend as there can be a long line. - They have farm table seating if you don't mind sitting with other people. Which is my preference actually! - Do order the croissant French toast - it is heaven - If you want something savory try the artichoke and spinach strata with fried egg and green salad. It was amazing! - Walk your breakfast off afterward by strolling a few blocks down to the shops on Fatherland St.

Dana M.

To the extent one can do bacon, eggs and grits better than another, this place does it very well. Everything is fresh, and my plate of eggs, bacon, and grits was delicious. The coffee is also very good. The atmosphere is a little loud but not unpleasant. Bacon, eggs, cheese grits, and coffee came out to $12.56. I'd eat here again for sure.

I don't understand why people rave about this place. I had lunch, and it was comfortably crowded. I'm a vegetarian, and there was just one entree on the menu that I could have, other than a salad. (Admittedly, I'm one of those vegetarians who gets cranky and angry when restaurants think that they just have to offer a salad to accommodate vegetarians.) I had the squash tart, which was ok, not great. And TINY. I got a side of grits, which was about three spoons worth. Grits are so freaking cheap, why would they give such a meager portion?!? The food was, overwhelmingly, mediocrity at its best. It reminded me of some quaint twee place one would encounter in a small town in CT, where the food is served on china that the owner inherited from her Irish grandmother, and was frequented by size two ladies who wanted to grab a bite to eat on their way to a book club. Maybe I just don't like what Chef Margot does. I went to Margot's recently, and was left cold. I hadn't been to Marche in ages, but, because people seem to love it, I tried it again. I think the bar for restaurants has been raised by all the new places that have opened up, and saying something is "artisanal" or "organic" or whatever you want to call it just doesn't cut it if what you're serving is tired and uninspired. The service was efficient, but a little on the cold side. I can overlook that, though, because they were busy and were working hard. But I can't imagine EVER going back to either Margot's or Marche when there are so many more inventive restaurants in town.

Atmosphere is French country and quaint. Food is prepared to perfection. Menu is interesting. Service is LACKLUSTER. My spouse and I ordered 4 items (coffee, croissant french toast, omelet, and bread basket), and the waitress was not able to get it right nor could she check on us to see if we were satisfied with our meal. I drank water. Fortunately, it was on the table so I did not put out the waitress. This is a bakery and we had hoped the bread basket would be a nice sampler of their wares. However, the waitress never took the time to serve it. This restaurant would have a lower score but the food is very well prepared. The chef knows how to prepare the meals perfectly. The menu goes well with those who are looking for a hip and different take on your common breakfast.

I came here for brunch. Ill start off with the customer service. Everyone was pretty friendly. They made sure our table was doing well. They were knowledgeable about their menu. The food was great. Their dessert was unbelievable. Not too heavy, not too light. Their entrees were good too. They had good flavor and good portions. The restaurant itself is small. They put groups together on big tables to save space. I thought that was a bit inconvenient. The prices were a bit steep for the quality of food. Their entrees were fairly priced. But, their starters and dessert were a bit expensive. All in all, it was a great experience. It is definitely a place that everyone should try out.

In short: Long line. Small menu. Big flavors. Amazing experience. In Archie: With a line so long it wraps around the building, you'd figure the restaurant was giving away free alcohol, hard drugs, money, and/or loose women with questionable morals. Instead, you'll find a cute place with a small menu full of inspired dishes prepared with love and presented with an artistic touch. The service here is welcoming, efficient, and excellent. And in the end, the restaurant provided one of my better brunch memories (where booze was not involved). So yeah, I remember it very well. If you're in Nashville, you should try this place out. If you live in Nashville, you should come here often. And if you're not in Nashville or a resident of Nashville, you should go check it out because it's an awesome city and well, the food at this place is worth it. And after heading here and standing in that super long line, you won't even be disappointed when you aren't given free alcohol, hard drugs, money, and/or loose women with questionable morals. Well, not totally disappointed.

It's worth the wait. Despite it being a few months since my visit, I can still taste and remember (within a wink) the delicious brunch that I had at Marche Artisan Foods. Plan for a wait - especially during the Sunday brunch time but know that at the end you will be greeted with beautiful coffee drinks, kale polenta cakes, and dishes that will leave you saying to your dining companion, "can I try yours?" Sharing is caring, right? Tucked away in an unsuspected area (aka off the beaten path from the other touristy joints), Marche boasts a lovely cafe with sweets and drinks that will help you pass by some of the waiting. The artisan product shopping section with vinegars, jams and more will also help pass another 10-15 minutes. I was sooo close to walking out with some of their fresh bread. As for the meal, the "grit cake with kale pesto and eggs on top" was by far one of the best brunches I've ever consumed. To give you a taste of other menu items - crÃ¨pes with fig, goat cheese and hazelnut and smoked salmon tartine with brioche, dill-caper cream cheese, arugula, red onion and radish. Mmm... Salivating yet? Bon apetit!

What a perfect sendoff, having brunch here with a bunch of great women. As expected, the wait on a rainy Saturday was still long-ish, but not as freakishly long as Pancake Pantry. I'm impressed by how the crew made note of what we (the one in our group making the reservation in her name) looked like, so that they can find us and call us in personally, instead of shouting her name. I had the bacon/eggs/grits combo. Had to have something Southern for my last brunch. Grits were delicious and not overly laden with cheese. And the bacon: Tons of it. I am used to getting served about 2 slices of bacon; this place gave me about 8 slices. Unheard of, at least in the places I frequent. Server offered tabasco/Worcestershire without my having to request it. My friends had paninis and French toast. I did not want to ask to try them, but they loved theirs. One friend had a mocha served French style, in a bowl. We opted not to have dessert (but they sounded good on paper). An excellent time had by all. Note: Place is loud and it was hard to hear my companions. But our enjoyment of the place more than made up for it.

My mom and sister and I decided to get up early for Sunday brunch. This place was highly recommended to us and we were very pleased with the choice. We arrived 15 minutes before they opened and a line had already formed outside the door. Get here early! We got seated right away and we were immediately asked if we wanted coffee. We scanned the menu, which features some staples and weekly specialties. We decided to order a couple croissants, a side of the delicious gruyere cheese grits and we each ordered one of the specialities. Our coffee mugs never went empty and our food was delightful. Highly recommended for Sunday brunch in Nashville...and a great way to start a day of touring the city!

If you're in Nashville, this place is a MUST. We went as a group of 10 and while we did have to wait about an hour to be seated, we were able to pass the time mimosas in hand. I was able to try a blood orange one and a pear cider one and both were delicious! The lattes and chai teas also looked really good but I was pleased with my decision. We had a VERY hard time deciding what to eat because everything on the menu looked amazing. A lot of people were ordering the strata but they ran out of it before we could order. I ended up with the steak and eggs and it was AMAZING. The steak was cooked as ordered, the red pepper sauce gave it a nice kick. It also seemed to be coated in coarse black pepper which added some great flavor. I asked for my eggs runny and they were served just as I asked! I seriously couldn't get enough of this meal. And as though the portion wasn't big enough (it was) I ordered some cheesy grits as a side which were served nice and hot! Also delicious! To share we got the croissant french toast and while it was nice, I wouldn't have wanted it for my whole meal. I can't remember what others got (except for the omelet) but everyone really liked their food. The bread basket was also ordered and it was served with butter, apple butter, nutella, honey, peanut butter...and maybe one other thing to put on it. The pieces of bread were pretty big and I think there were about 6 pieces in there. Writing this review makes me wish I could go back there soon. Don't miss out on this place if you're in Nashville even though it's not downtown.

Visited Nashville, so I had to visit Marche since it's so close. It opened at 9 on Sunday, we arrived around 8:40, no line, so we stayed in the car and parked in the lot. We got out the car at 9, and saw that the line formed on the OTHER side (the street side) and there were now 20-30 people in front of us. There was only two of us so we didn't have to wait. SERVICE: Nice and weet. AMBIENCE/DECOR: Simple southern chic FOOD: It was all pretty good, but the french toast is EVERYTHING. It's made from a croissant... can't go wrong with french toast croissant, so good! Eggs didn't have mich flavor, bacon was good (nothing out of the ordinary), grits were good.

Sometimes brunch can be boring or predictable. This was neither! The place was popping, the food was interesting, the people were friendly. We stopped in for fuel before heading down the road to Memphis, and it was the best breakfast decision of the trip. I love brunch. We were told a forty minute wait but were seated in a little over twenty minutes. We didn't mind waiting since we could sip good coffee in the bright and engaging environment of the restaurant. I ordered a crispy little crepe with spicy tomato sauce and white beans and a order of french toast... I love brunch. Did I mention that? My boyfriend ordered some kind of grit and cheese and couscous cake with butternut squash and egg and a side of some super awesome grits. The french toast was made of out magic bread and it was chewy and not overly sweet - GET IT. I wasn't as into the food my boyfriend got - maybe pass on it. The butternut squash was missing some cream/butter/decadent brunchy kind of thing that brunch food needs. Anyway, my food was awesome, the atmosphere is great. They had a fancy pbj on the menu that I saw plenty of cute kids tucking into. Our server was adorable. This place is great!

I love eating here. Best brunch I have found in Nashville. I have brought several people here and they all seemed to enjoy the place. Staff is friendly and food is good.

Outstanding artisan food in this hipster East Nashville neighborhood. Service is excellent and the restaurant feels like you are in a French cafe. Our party thoroughly enjoyed the Lentil Burger (special of the day), Porter Road Pork Burger, Chicken Milanese Sandwich, as well as the bread basket with the delish Grapefruit Marmalade and Nutella! Save room for their incredible Chocolate Orange Mousse Cake and Peach Yogurt Cream Cake. For an even fancier meal, make sure to support their sister restaurant nearby - Margot CafÃ©.

Marche really impressed me with there breakfast menu. It was hard to pick just one dish! It does get busy at times but I always get seated shortly after arriving. The staff is very attentive and friendly and the atmosphere is great. If your looking for a non greasy fresh breakfast this is the place. I will be returning next time I am in Nashville.

Definitely borders on the Portlandia level of crunchy farm-to-table vibe, but the food was incredible. Had the Moroccan Chicken Sandwich and Stratta and were blown away by both. The coffee was great and bread plate delicious as well.

We had a great time at marche, I especially enjoyed the French toast Croissant. Service was excellent and the food was a good value for the price.

I'd give Marche 4-5 stars if it didn't boast the same sub-par service as Margot. Two of us went on a Sunday for brunch. It was pretty busy and we were told that the wait would be 30 minutes. An hour later, we were still waiting and others who had just arrived were being seated. The hostess explained, as if we were idiots, that not enough "two-tops" were ready. I'm still trying to understand why they would rather us wait twice as long as they quoted instead of seating us at a table that could also seat three or four. They must enjoy making customers unhappy. Our server barely noticed us and took 10 minutes to pour a cup of coffee. She managed to get our orders right, but she was mostly MIA the entire time. Our food really was great-- I got the cheese grits, scrambled eggs, and bacon. My dining companion got the omelette with country ham and cheese. We shared the half potion of the French toast. It was delicious and very satisfying! So our food was good, and our table was good. I just can't understand why the customer service always has to suck so badly. It's pretty much a guarantee that if I take a chance and dine in East Nashville, I'm going to get snotty, rude servers who want me to know that this job is beneath them. I don't care if it's beneath you. Get it together and work for your tips, or don't do the job. You're not entitled to 20%!

Excellent food! The service was also friendly. The menu is not "traditional" but even my husband (who is not usually very adventurous) was able to find something he liked.

Guthrie T.

The food and atmosphere are good, but be prepared for hipster attitudes and a long wait. And definitely NOT accommodating for larger groups. After an hour and a half wait, we felt rushed to order and rushed out by the staff. We ended up having to split our group off into two separate tables. Not ideal. Personally this ruined our brunch.

American Breakfast and Steak n' Eggs were both pretty delicious. The grit cake was a slam dunk.

Yummy yummy in my tummy. I take everyone I know to Marche! Yes, they typically have a wait (at least 30 minutes every time I've been) for brunch. Though if you want to go in the evening for dinner you can always just walk right in. I always have great tasting food and a great experience!

Vanessa G.

I ADORE this place! It's a 10 every time we visit. We visited today and enjoyed the savory crepes and frittata. While the service is a tad slow, the food never disappoints. We live on the West Side and I wish they open up a "Marche West".

So delicious and fresh. Their menu is so innovative and yummy. We went for Brunch and there was no wait and we were a party of 8 people. Everything we ate was divine, the decor is rustic and country, our server was super friendly and answered all of our questions. Portions a bit small but very tasty!

Janet Y.

I didn't know how Marche was going to live up to expectations and hype, but WOW! It certainly did. Let's just start by saying the food was pretty exceptional. I really didn't know how an egg biscuit could be extraordinary, but it was... especially when the egg/ham/tomato is on a delicious cheddar polenta biscuit! DRooOL. After seeing the croissant french toast on the menu, I couldn't resist. I got half an order of that too. What a great decision. YUMMMMMM! I pretty much licked off BOTH plates I ordered. Our server was really nice, but we did have a tiny run in with another employee early on. Apparently they won't seat you until your entire party is there, and he wasn't too patient that we didn't know that. Tip: Sunday morning-- Marche opens at 9 am, and there was already a line around the building. Come early and be ready for a wait!

I'm from the South. Until I actually set foot in this place, I thought it was "March" and not "Mar-shay"...because I come from the Athens of the South and I'm all educated and junk. We stopped in after a run all sweaty and hungry. On this morning, we were the "East Nasties" because...well, we were sweaty and wanted eggs. I got an omelette with a side of bacon. The omelette was omeletteriffic and the bacon had clearly been cut and designed by the bacon artisans that they keep on staff in the back of the store. Okay, probably not, but it was still pretty "clutch", as they say in 2003. The best part is that you get heaping loads of coffee in big mugs. The coffee has also most likely been steeped and brewed by Trappist Monks in the bowels of the Marche' building. Or, if nothing else, it's good...and you get lots. Oh! And there's bread and it's so good it almost makes you stabby. It is a wee pricey though, but it's totally worth it. For a person that stayed away from East Nashville for almost 30 years, it's really growing on me and Marche' is another tally on my list of why I was wrong about East Nashville.

Let me keep it short for you - food is excellent, service is efficient, atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired. Noisy and awkward. The floor plan is way too open and the strangers too close. Momma said never talk to strangers but here - they can hear EVERYTHING! Don't be telling any secrets in here!

Josh J.

Great food, but terrible service. Although food was tasty, it was cold by the time it reached our table. Waitress was not helpful and seemed annoyed with our presence. Drinks arrived after our meal and check we got differed from check once credit card was charged. Sad it wasn't a better experience given the potentially cute atmosphere and yummy food. Probably too busy but it was 2pm on a Saturday?

Delish, very good, light and fresh; had to wait a while for the food when we sat down - I like to think because the food was made just for me! The service was good!

Brandon M.

Let me start out by saying I am a West Coast, California, freak so this may explain my love for this restaurant. I LOVED THIS PLACE!!!! It was my favorite restaurant I went to during my trip to Nashville. Fresh produce, great service with a chef that cares about the food palate. It felt like home and after eating nothing but food that was fried, Barbecued or cooked with grease I was ready to hug every employee for getting me centered again. Marche actually had fresh locally grown vegetables which I found very uncommon in the Nashville area. I had the fried egg and asparagus bruschetta, Anson Mills organic oatmeal with strawberries and cream, croissant french toast, crepes Du jour with Coffee-drew's brew. Don't worry...I was with two other people. The restaurant has a nice open layout with floor to ceiling windows. The service was amazing and you could just tell that all the employee's were taking pride in their restaurant. Don't get me wrong I don't mind having a meal at a "ring out your menu" kind of place on occasion, I just prefer to have the fresh, organic, non-processed and non-fried food meal experience. If fresh and organic mean more than a hippie buzz word to you then stroll on into this amazing oasis of fine food.

This is what we had (there were two of us): Latte, drip coffee, one glass of red wine, cup of gazpacho, market salad (app size), peaches and ricotta on toast, ratatouille omelet, side of potatoes, summer salad (entree size), two fried eggs, creme brÃ»lÃ©e. We ate a lot, we had a great time, it was loud at first but we came at the tail-end of the brunch rush so I'm not complaining, plus the space is very open which makes for loud/echoing acoustics but also makes it feel roomy and cozy and spacious all at the same time, and there's a lot of natural light, and the service was attentive but not overbearing, and we sat forever and took our time which I know can be a sucky thing to do but as I said it was at the end of a rush so they didn't need our table to turn (at least not for more customers), and the food was wonderful and delightful and filling but not heavy, and overall I'd say we had a grrrrreat experience... all for just shy of $60 including tax. NOT BAD.

I applaud Nashville for getting a European-type diner, but I had some issues with Marche. Our waiter was less than helpful and not so friendly. He was also absent for extended times, leaving me looking longingly at my water glass hoping it to magically fill itself. They brought the main courses while we were still eating our salads. Basic, basic mistake. Pace yourself better, Marche and don't rush the customer for your error. They don't have curtains on the western-facing windows in the dining room. You know, that side that the sun sets on EVERY night. My meal started with me being blinded for a good 20 minutes until the sun set. GET CURTAINS ON THE SIDE WITH ALL THE SUN!! However, the dinner was delightful and came with unexpected combinations. Point. The dessert selection was a lot of fun (though overpriced), but still it was delicious, so POINT. And I am going to assume that Marche is new so they will eventually work out their pricing, pace and lack of curtains, so a POINT for the newbie to grow on. Come on Marche, you are not that good, at least, not yet. You have many bits in line - you are definitely on your way, but don't get complacent yet. One day, you'll be at the top of the pack. Go, Marche, go!!

Wow.....where do I even start. Marche's has to be my new favorite breakfast spot in town! My girlfriend and I met some friends there for brunch this morning, and pigged out. Don't judge, you'll pig out too! The first and only warning is don't go here so hungry you might consider gnawing you own arm off. The reason I say this is because you are going to have to wait for a table. We were told that it was going to be 40 minutes. Well, that 40 minutes, turned into an hour and twenty minutes. But, it was well worth the wait. We both started off with a latte and we shared the bread basket. The latte was served in a bowl. Yep, you read that right, a bowl. Like something you would eat your morning cereal out of. I thought for a minute they might have just run out of cups, but according to our friends, this is standard practice. The bread basket came with about six slices of various breads, and a plethora of toppings (Nutella, peanut butter, jam, butter, and honey). For our mains, I ordered the egg hash and she ordered a plate of eggs, grits and the pb&j as a side (ill come back to that later). The egg hash was awesome! It was scrambled eggs, potatoes, capers, smoked salmon topped with a creamy dill sauce. If I could, I would go back right now and eat it again. So, the reason my girlfriend got a pb&j with her breakfast, is that it usually comes with bacon. And since she doesn't eat bacon, let the gasping begin, she opted for the childhood favorite. The grits that she got, may have been the best grits I've had in awhile. The eating doesn't stop there. We decided to finish the meal off by splitting a half order of the croissant French toast! Oh yeah, you know that sounds freakin awesome! Well, it was. I'm not sure how much more detail I can go into, to explain to you how delicious this place is. Why don't you just head over to the east side and try it for yourself.

We arrived around 9:30am on a Friday morning and only a few tables were occupied. My best friend and I were celebrating our belated birthdays so we got the day kicked off great with Cucumber Sake Bloody Marys. Hands down THE BEST Bloody I ever had. Spicy and delicious. We started off with the apples and brie. It was good but it was the least remarkable thing we ordered that day. We shared the Croissant French Toast and the Pork Tartine. Both were excellent. The interior is very charming and the service is great. Service was perfectly paced. Such a great find or breakfast/brunch.

Ryan B.

It's been a few months since I've been to Marche', so I won't talk to the exact food we ate, but my wife and I consider this one of the finest restaurants we know in our fair city. We have only had lunches or brunches here It would be inconvenient for us to bring all 5 of our kids here, so we feel limited in coming in that respect, but the food is outstanding and we salivate when we drive anywhere near the place. In fact, we have to keep towels in the car when we drive through East Nashville. Thankfully, our van windows are tinted so people can't watch us overreact.

Noor B.

Great casual brunch spot in Nashville. We started with the special- apples and Bree on cinnamon raisin bread with a balsamic reduction- omg out of this world. We then had the special omelet- ham, cheddar and caramelized onion. Not as outstanding as the apples and Bree, but pretty solid as well. Not too busy. Friendly staff. I'd go back.

If you asked me to dream a restaurant, I could not imagine anything better than Marche. If I died and went to restaurant heaven, it WOULD be Marche! I LOVE food. All kinds of food. New flavors, clever creations, the old standards. I'm willing to try almost anything. Marche delievers time after time. The atmosphere is wonderful. I would like to imagine my dream home to be just an quaint with the charming, french countryside feel and accents. Friends and I have had to share a table with another small party from time to time, but it has never been a problem. The food is a la the French tradition, but the rotating menu offers something for everyone. They'll do the best burger and potato salad you've ever had, as well as, a fabulous rissotto, succulent bistro steak, & heavenly, buttery, croissant french toast with applewood smoked bacon on the same menu. Did I mention I usually hit up this place for brunch on Saturday afternoon? I should also mention so does the rest of Nashville so expect to wait 20 - 30 minutes for a table if you're going during high traffic hours. The desserts don't disappoint either. I'm talking the kind of sweets that make your eyes roll to the back of your head with first bite. You never dreamed ice cream could be this good. Or blueberry lemon tarts...or bread pudding...or creme brulee. This menu also rotates seasonally. They offer many different cafe favorites such as biscotti and cookies. The coffee ain't bad either;) For those looking for the authentic French experience, they offer many freshly baked breads, bread baskets, and jams. You many also buy many of these products pre-packaged alongside other novelty gifts with European flaire. Do yourself and favor and try it out. The final thing that makes this my dream place? The prices!! Just when you thought I couldn't say one more good thing about this place, I have to add, it's so affordable! Most entrees are around $10 or less. It just doesn't seem possible to offer food this good with fresh, local ingredients for a price like that, but it's true.

Everything about this place- the coffee, the croissant french toast, the croissant sandwich, the apple and brie on cinnamon raison and the spiced apple pie (a friend and I split a lot of food)... was AMAZING! Also, our waitress, Alison, was great! She was so nice! I love this place and I wish I could go back.

If you like omelets and you happen to be in Nashville this place is a must. Fluffy, flavorful and perfectly cooked. Service is very friendly and even though they were packed, food came out really fast. Just one thing to keep in mind...if you are coming on a Sunday for brunch be ready to wait...def worth it.

Went for brunch early on a rainy Saturday morning with plenty of seating. The food was just disappointing. Got burnt crepes topped with arugula going bad. The wife got a bowl of bland mushy oatmeal with hard, bland nectarines. Sent back the crepes and got bacon, eggs, and cheese grits that were edible but uninspired. Did we catch the kitchen on a bad day? Not sure I would chance it again. On the plus side, two shiny stars for good service and for taking the oatmeal off the check.

Lisa B.

Marche is one of those places I've had on my list to try forever... Honestly, I'm sad to say that I was a little disappointed. It was good, but it was definitely over-hyped. We went for brunch on a Saturday and ran into some friends who told us that the menu was not as good that day as it usually is... I guess it changes frequently? There was about a 30 minute wait, which is not bad for a popular weekend brunch spot, and we were able to find parking right up front even though the lot is tiny and cramped. The atmosphere inside was inviting and the pastries behind the counter looked amazing and made us drool while we waited. Off to a good start! The first thing that rubbed me the wrong way was the seating arrangement. There was one big party at the largest table in the place when we got there, but after they left it was turned into a community table. When our name was called the host directed us to the community table, where two couples were already sitting. A man at the head of the table with a woman next to him on one end, a woman at the head of the table with a man next to her at the other. We start to sit next to each other and the waiter rudely points to the other side and tells my boyfriend, "No, you're over there." So while the other two couples at the table have their cozy brunch, we're yelling across the table at each other (I should point out that the table was also right by the front door, so it was pretty loud with everyone standing around us waiting to be seated). No one was ever seated on one side of us, and at one point a waiter took the chair next to me away, so I'm really not sure what the harm would have been, but whatever. Toward the end of our meal they sat a couple on one side of us - girl next to me, guy next to him - and we heard them complain that they weren't exactly expecting or looking for community seating either. Ok, now the food. I had an egg and the croissant french toast, which was $4.50 for a half order of 2 slices (which, according to Paul K's review, equates to about $.50 per bite. Thanks, Paul.) The french toast was pretty good, I like the originality of making it with a croissant, but it wasn't mind blowing. The boyfriend's meal was also pretty good, but not spectacular, from the bite(s) I had. The menu didn't have a big selection, but if it does change as frequently as was implied I guess that's not a big deal. One thing there was a good selection of? Brunchy cocktails. I had a cucumber sake bloody mary. Pretty delicious. I'm glad we finally tried Marche, but I don't think we'll be back any time soon. Maybe if I lived in East Nasty I'd be able to justify it, but my West side self is not willing to make the trek over the bridge for mostly mediocre.

Ahhh Marche. My daughter, wife, and myself had a late evening meal here. It was delicious! The waitress was very attentive to your young daughter and made her feel like a princess. We will definitely be back. The creme brÃ»lÃ©e was the best we have ever had.

For a place full of overdressed hip folk you wouldn't expect the volume to be that of an elementary school cafeteria, but it is. It might have something to do with all of the wood and glass and lack of anything to absorb sound, but having to shout at my girlfriend who's sitting 2 feet away in order to hold a conversation is a little ridiculous. The last time I was there was for breakfast I got bacon, eggs and home-fries, all of which were overpowered by a strange fish taste. After informing our waitress who didn't believe us at first she checked with the chef to learn that he cooked my breakfast in the same pan he had previously used to cook somebodies tuna special. The food was inedible but at least they comped it. My coffee was served to me in a soup bowl which made things interesting - I figured they had run out of mugs but they had some for sale near the register by the exit. Also, I left this place one day with a pretty nasty stomach ache and have heard that they've had customers at this restaurant and at their sister restaurant down the street that have come down with food poisoning.

I saw this on several lists as a good place to stop and grab some food. Man was that an understatement. I stopped in for Brunch on my way out of town that was a big mistake I wish had more time to eat here again. This place turned me into a complete and total Pig (No offense to any Pigs out there) I tried to order everything on the menu that was good (so Everything on the menu). Just outside downtown Nashville proper you will find this amazing little place to eat. Great food and friendly staff and a beautiful atmosphere. I would put this place at the top of places to eat while in Nashville. I started off with the Martinelli's sparkling apple juice which was nice for an unusually warm day. I then ordered the Steak & Eggs the only complaint was the steak was a little cold, but it was still mouth watering. herbs and spices on the potatoes was perfect and eggs simply delicious. by the time I tasted the steak my other food had arrived a side of cheese grits w/ gruyere and half order of the croissant french toast. If this was a last meal I would have been very angry having not tried everything on the menu. First bite into the gruyere cheese grits was amazing my taste buds danced and then it only got better as I mixed the flavorful grits with the seasoning from the potatoes and juices from the steak and eggs. ahhhh! memories... Wow!!! I should have ordered a full order of these was the first thought after taking a bite of the croissant french toast. probably the most buttery fluffy flaky most delicious piece of breaded heaven I have tasted this side of dessert again Wow! I finished my plate and sat there because I didn't want to leave (also probably because I was stuffed But very Happy). If you are ever in Nashville on a Sunday this the place to be for Brunch. Six Stars ****** (awesome coffee and a Bakery)

Only good thing I can say is great location. Frittata I ordered was dry and tasted like scorched eggs. Yuk! It was small in portion and the only side was a few mixed greens, no bread. Everyone at the table ordered something different and every dish was tasteless. I hope for their sake we hit them on an off day.

I've had a couple of breakfast meetings here recently which are never fun to get up extra early for but I was in good company and Marche's cozy atmosphere was inviting enough to get me out of my morning grumps. The toast with fresh locally produced jam that I had was quite filling and tasty. Seriously may have been some of the best jam that I have ever enjoyed... no joke. My only gripe is that their menu doesn't accommodate a vegan's diet very well. I quietly mentioned my diet restriction to the server but she didn't make any suggestions for dishes that could be re-worked. At other dining establishments, this is normally not a big deal as this vegan can make it work practically anywhere. With that being said, Marche' is a solid spot for a quiet week-day breakfast or bustling weekend brunch too. I have never tried dinner here but am curious to check it out!

Some friends were visiting our wonderful city recently. As they are thinking about moving to Nashville, we showed them a couple of areas where we think they would enjoy living. After a quick tour of some very impressive older homes in East Nashville, we decided to take them to Marche. It had been a fet months since I last was there, but it was as good as I had remembered. We went for an early lunch and waited around five minutes to be taken to a table. The building definitely has charm and character, and we enjoyed the natural light from all the windows. Our server was friendly and although busy, she made us feel important. Everyone in our group enjoyed their food, my Tuscan chicken salad was especially fresh and tasty. Because of the way it's set up and the floors, it did get a bit loud when all the tables were occupied.

I can't believe I haven't reviewed Marche, after coming here SO many times! This is one of my favorite places in all of Nashville. I bring all my friends here, host bridal showers here, love it! The wait can be long, so just be prepared. You can get a coffee or mimosa while you wait, though. The food is worth the wait- anything on the menu is great. Love the bread basket to start and then the french toast or anything savory. The soups are also so good. The menu changes all the time with what's freshly available and lots of light, healthy but delicious options. I love the big windows that let the sun in. It just makes me happy to have brunch here, which is why I come here all the time!

1. Brunch cocktails - great variety, well poured. Specialty fruit mimosas and other manly type drinks. 5 Stars 2. Gumbo - bland, bland, bland, salty, bland. No spice on the sausage, no spice on the broth, the shrimp didn't taste like anything. The rice was clumpy. Clearly I was confused about what state I was in. 3. Croissant with homemade jam. Great jam. Even more awesome croissant. Flaky, not too buttery, nom nom nom. 4. Lamb meatball sandwich (SO's). I liked the herb flavor that was on it and the fresh mozzarella. SO didn't like that it wasn't toasted and the cheese wasn't melted. Didn't bother me. Some of the meatballs were cold in the middle though. More bothersome. So, some things are great and some things are not so great? Ambiance was pretty good. Lots of windows and such. Service was fine.

After a close friend raved about MarchÃ© to my boyfriend, he decided one morning to take me on a surprise brunch adventure. We went to MarchÃ© on an early Sunday afternoon and it was totally slammed. We decided to get our food to go and although I'm hesitant about doing this with a restaurant I've never ate at before, I was definitely not disappointed. My boyfriend ordered their croissant french toast with apples and brie and I ordered the brunch salad with poached egg and a bacon vinaigrette. The croissants were off the chain. A delicious melody of textures and flavor. My salad wasn't TERRIBLE... it was just drowned in the vinaigrette making it very soggy and unappetizing. The other components of the salad were delicious though. All in all, MarchÃ© was a total delight and I can't wait to return and actually eat inside! haha.

I didn't find my meal here all that remarkable, but I still appreciate the concept of a simple, seasonal menu. Dinner offerings rotate monthly, with the usual starters of cheese, olives, and olive oil; about a half-dozen first courses (soup, salad, smoked salmon, oysters, and the like); and about a half-dozen entrees, which include a variety of meat, seafood, and vegetarian options. Back in January 2012, I had the Milk Braised Pork Tenderloin ($15), served with mashed sweet potatoes, collard greens, and toasted hazelnuts. The dish came well presented, and the ingredients were quality, but I'm not sure the overall meal worked all that well. The juicy and tender pork was prepared very lightly, and was enjoyable with the very lightly salted collards. However, the overly generous portion of mashed sweet potatoes really overwhelmed everything else. I've otherwise enjoyed the trend of somehow incorporating sweet potatoes into damn near everything, but I think the cloying sweetness of the sweet potatoes, especially when they're in mashed form and thus retain that cloying sweetness, really took over what should have been a much lighter dish. I also had a taste of the Housemade Fettuccini with Spicy Lamb Meatballs ($15), served with a red pepper tomato sauce, olives, oregano, and pecorino. I enjoyed the meatballs -- very solid lamb flavor, there -- but I wouldn't call them spicy at all. And while I liked the pasta, I thought it was perhaps just a tad under-flavored and under-sauced, at least to my palate. Rounding off my meal with a competently prepared cappuccino, I found the food just a bit lacking, but still enjoyable, overall. The restaurant space itself, with its sidewalk-cafe-style furniture, huge windows, brick walls, and open kitchen, is really quite charming. There's a few nooks stocked full of groceries, along with an (admittedly somewhat cluttered and unattractive) display of baked goods. Restrooms are unisex, brightly lit, and clean. Service is low-key, but helpful enough.

They were very busy on a Sunday morning and the wait was over 1.5 hours, but the food was excellent and the staff friendly.

You have to figure any place where people are willing to spend an hour of their Sunday morning waiting for brunch HAS to be good. If you plan to go her eon a weekend morning, you probably better plan on a wait. But trust me, the time will fly by...just plow through the somewhat awkward layout of the entry area/dining room/coffee bar and order a drink to keep you company while you wait, then step outside to get out of the way and listen closely for your name. I indulged in a "breakfast appetizer" in the form of a chocolate croissant to go with my blood orange mimosa. Both were fresh and delicious. If the croissant wasn't homemade, it was definitely fresh. It had just the perfect amount of chocolate, enough to sweeten it up but not so much that it overtakes the flaky buttery deliciousness of the croissant. For my entree, I ordered the pork loin sandwich, which had a wonderful flavor. The pork was tender and easy to eat (far from one of those annoying meat sandwiches that you can't take a bite of because your teeth can't get through the meat) and it had a delicious grainy mustard on top with creamy coleslaw on the side. Definitely recommended! The biggest issue with this place is definitely the parking, which is a bit complicated. But be prepared for it and get creative, the meal will be worth your effort.

I have never had a bad meal here. Brunch is a hassle (but worth it ) and dinner is easy and low key.

Took visiting relatives to Saturday brunch yesterday. It was perfect. The food was amazing! I had a pulled pork/sweet potato/greens creation that HAD to be created just for me. My husband looked at the menu before I did and he said, "you don't even have to look, you're gonna want this." He was correct...it was splendid. All of our guests were happy with their brunch, they were charmed by the ambiance and we were all grateful for the unobtrusive but attentive service. We sat there for 3 hours catching up and visiting and never got that "I wish they'd clear out" feeling. Very gracious service. Oh...and the Benton's bacon. If I review Marche 10 times, I will mention the bacon 10 times. Sighhhhh...the bacon.

Marche is my favorite restaurant in Nashville by a lot. The food is mostly (if not all) local and seasonal. Everything is extremely fresh and tasty. I've only been here for brunch, but would eat here every day if I could. The biscuits with poached eggs are amazing. Quiches and savory tarts are always delicious. I had a sweet potato and kale bread pudding sometime in the autumn that was unreal. It's full of light from all the windows and very charming. Big mismatched farm tables scattered around and mixed in with smaller tables and chairs. It almost feels like eating out on a patio in Europe. Love it!!

I kid you not, these were the exact words out of my mouth: "MY MOUTH IS SO HAPPY!!!" Upon entering, I knew I would like this place immediately. Even when every table is packed, the dining area is open enough that you wouldn't feel overwhelmed. Wall-to-wall windows allow the sunlight to pour in and provide for a very light atmosphere. Our server was incredibly helpful, as she pointed out options that would adhere to my dietary needs with a kind smile. And of course, the food. Oh. My. God. I had the granola with soy milk replacing the yogurt, and as prefaced above, my mouth was in a state of utter bliss. I would have never guessed that a bowl of granola could taste so good. It's just toasted oats, some dried fruit and spices, right? But seriously? IT. IS. THAT. GOOD. I couldn't stop smiling as I continued to devour that granola. The secret ingredient is most likely magic, because I'd never been so excited about granola before. My scrambled eggs were cooked to perfection and my potatoes were delightfully aromatic and tasty, but what sent me over the edge was the homemade ketchup. I wanted to buy a bottle of it on the spot, but I stopped myself because I wouldn't be able to bring it on the flight home. At this point, my only regret is not having tried everything on the menu and dealt with the aftermath of my food allergies afterward. With that being said, MarchÃ© offers a truly refreshing take on brunch, as well as other meals I'm sure, with options that are sophisticated without being pretentious. Finally, the use of fresh, local ingredients and homemade spreads or condiments is always noteworthy in my book, and this little cafe will not disappoint.

Food was outstanding. The scallops were buttery and perfectly seared on the outside and the risotto was the perfect complement. The herbed olive oil was super yummy. Service was really lacking. Waiter just did not have a sense of urgency about serving his customers. Waited about 20 minutes for bread and olive oil. Had to ask for it a second time and he still wasn't in a hurry. Hopefully they will improve so I can give 5 stars instead of 4. Make reservations for dinner, as it does fill up quickly.

Excellent bistro for Nashville. I really dig the coffee (cafe au lait was phenom), the brunch is a 10 out of 10. If you want to see the latest version of Ugg boots, the girls that frequent the joint are here in droves. Oh yeah. Hipsters. They need their own section.

Gale K.

I had an absolutely delicious omelet with asparagus and feta cheese, a green salad and a side of cheese grits! If you are used to creamy, no texture grits then do NOT order these! They are coarsely stone ground and include the corn brand and have a texture which is almost chewy. I like them but understand that not everyone may. Did not disappoint! This is the only restaurant I've tried in Nashville that has been consistent in food quality and service and that I continue to return to. I am always assured that I will get quality, locally sourced food prepared very well and be offered a variety of choices. I ended my meal with a delicious pecan shortbread cookie thiugh i was very tempted to have the strawberry lemon Semifreddo! I shall miss this place as a Saturday morning brunch spot when I move to Clarksville next month which, alas, is a fast food paradise! Until then, I will get here as frequently as I can.

Marche is a European style cafe in East Nashville whose decor and layout can seemingly transport even those who hate to travel to a intimate cafe in Paris. As we walked in, we were both overcome with excitement at the sight of the decor and layout and having originally met in Europe, we both knew immediately this was going to be a beautiful night that would bring back amazing memories. We were sat at a bistro style table next to large open windows that allowed the 6 pm sunlight to illuminate the cafe beautifully. I was torn between the Prosecco Punch ($6) and the Sangria ($5) but upon a recommendation from our waitress, I went with the house made Sangria. Other than my homemade Sangria recipe, which I got from my dear friend Margaret (Details by Margaret), this was the best Sangria I have ever had due to the perfect mix of fruit flavor to offset the bitterness of the red wine. Cole tried the Highland Ale Beer ($3.50 Bottle) which he described as a very mellow pale ale with a refreshing crisp and bitter finish. Read More - uncharterednashville.bloâ€¦

A breakfast with a touch of noise... It's hard to imagine a quiet breakfast place, but when this place gets busy it's kinda crazy in here. Parking is a little of a headache when a line starts to form outside the building, especially after Sunday morning services. The wait can be a little bit crazy too. If you have a party of 6 or more, it may be difficult to find a seat at the busiest times of the day. Overall, the food is always fresh and I have no complaints or qualms. It definitely has an open, airy, feel with windows surrounding the dining area which adds to the European cafe ambiance. Service is good, and I think the workers do one helluva job keeping up with the work during the busy hours. If you can avoid the less busy times of the day during the weekdays, I would recommend a relaxing stroll on over to Marche and be able to enjoy Marche at its best...when it isn't crowded or busy.

Very yummy straight ahead food. I had an arugula smoked trout salad for lunch and a chocolate polenta cake for desert another time. The cake wasn't the most interesting and I found it to be a bit dry.

Yelp provided this as a good breakfast location and since it was so close to where I was staying I thought I would go when I wake up late. I was a little surprised to see such a high brow seeming place in Nashville and wondered what it would be like. I stepped in and it looked more like a market or coffee shop than a restaurant with a large open area with a counter with pastries and coffee station. Tables filled with cheeses and spreads. A nice woman came up to me and asked how many. I told her just me and she sat me in a little round table near the window in a corner between the levels that separate the restaurant and market areas. My waiter was a little confused about the soup and specials so he came back after checking-I think it was a shift change. I got the mulled cider and the soup sounded interesting enough-tomato barley with prosciutto. The cider was great, with the cinnamon and cardamon really complemented the cider well. A little lukewarm but a great flavor. The soup was okay, not enough prosciutto and it made the rest of the soup a little blander without it. For breakfast I ordered the pulled pork bruschetta with eggs over medium. The pork was okay but the eggs were done right just yolky enough that it mixed well the pork and with salt and pepper a pretty good start to the day. A nice brunch place for sure, I brought it up to my friend and let her know that it seems like a nice brunch place for couples.

Great Shrimp and Grits. Added a side of bacon, which is apparently baked, and tasted fantastic. Service was friendly and helpful, even though they were a bit busy at 10am. Pleasant atmosphere and nice open kitchen where you can see the staff at work.

Always packed for brunch, Marche is a great stop on a Saturday morning. I've had the steak and eggs, the omelet, and the strata, and all were top-notch. The coffee is strong and flavorful, and the service, though sometimes a bit slow, is always friendly and knowledgeable.

Will M.

Is it my favorite ever, neuh, but overall it's good. Been here a few times for brunch, but the atmosphere is perfect. Crowded with all sorts of people. Some families, some young couples, some people recovering from partying the night before, maybe with a bloody mary. You can just get a pastry, and a coffee, or sit down to eat some good food. It's french mainly, and I like all the dishes, but not really love. The whole ambiance is nice though, and open space, with some communal sitting is a pleasure. One of my favorite places for brunch, for sure. Recommend the steak and eggs.
(4)
Merritt G.

We had an okay meal here. I ordered a pumpkin latte to start which was huge and very tasty. I ordered the omelette for brunch which was fine - but nothing special. In my opinion there was way too much egg and not enough filling. I did add a slice of bacon for $1. That's right one slice = $1. Hmm. I ordered the polenta on the side and it was delicious! I'm not sure it was $3 delicious, but it was pretty good. All in all I am in no rush to go back. If I'm going to make the trek to East Nashville for brunch I'm going to Mad Donna's.

Suq M.

I love this place! Great food, great waitstaff, great atmosphere, and very reasonable prices. I live in the 'hood, so have had the pleasure at dining at Marche six or seven times, for brunch, lunch, and dinner. I have been most impressed with their dinner menu--it is so creative, delicious, and fresh. (This could be due at least in part to the fact that I'm not a huge brunch fan.) The portions aren't huge, which really makes you appreciate the food. And did I mention that the prices are really reasonable? I think I spent $40 for two of us, with drinks and dessert. If you go for brunch and want something particularly decadent, try the croissant french toast. I always bring visitors here, especially people who have a more refined palate or hail from larger metropolitan areas. They are always impressed. Marche is a one-of-a-kind restaurant in Nashville, and it has few rivals in terms of price, ambiance, quality, and creativity. In fact, I can't think of any.

It is always busy here and a wait to be seated but I never mind that due to the ease of sipping a Mimosa while you wait. The food is wonderful. I have had the omelette (which they were happy to make with whites only), the cheese plate, the smoked salmon flatbread (loads of delicious salmon) and a few others. The service is consistently good with often quirky individuals. I highly recommend this place and a walk around the neighborhood after.

Avonel R.

During a spontaneous walk through 5 points, I decided I was just too close by to not try Marche. I went during mid-day Saturday so there was no wait to be seated. I tried the cheese plate of the day for my appetizer and since I was only hungry for a snack, I chose the tomato watermelon salad for my entree. The food is all fresh and extremely creative. Also, my husband said the burger was one of the better ones he has had in Nashville-which we were not expecting for this place. We decided we couldn't leave without trying dessert so we shared a blueberry tart. It ended up being a great way to spend our Saturday afternoon.

Meredith M.

This place is super trendy and trying really hard but it was a total let down for us. The atmosphere and the space are really warm and inviting but I went to this place for some good food. The waitress was cute and nice but super aloof. Anytime we needed something I had to flag her down or literally get up out of my seat to go get her. I have a lot of patience in restaurants and really cant remember the last time I had to do that. Their menu looks like everything is going to be amazing but things were either bland or way too salty. No matter how cool the atmosphere is I just cant imagine us ever going back to a place that messes up the simple things like an egg. I was hoping this was going to be a go to spot for us but we just left disappointed. I guess all the rave reviews are coming from people that just like the atmosphere and are not paying attention to what they are eating?

MarchÃ© is a little slice of Paris in East Nashville. It's so very well known around these parts that it's hard to add anything to a review that hasn't already been written. You'll always find intriguing combinations at MarchÃ© -they consistently find food pairings that surprise and amaze, and our "brunch appetizer" (yes, it's a THING) was amazing -fresh peaches and ricotta on toast, with honey drizzled on the side. Except that the peaches weren't exactly ripe. I can understand, because it's not yet July 4, but I was surprised it was on the menu. My wife ordered a savory crepe with an outstanding basil-tomato "sauce," which to me tasted like a concentrated tomato-basil soup -again, another outstanding pairing of tastes. These are the kinds of food combinations that keep me going back. And the coffee on a late Sunday morning ... you cannot ask for better coffee. Just be willing to step outside your "comfort zone" on the menu -- even MarchÃ© can't make a pedestrian choice (in my case, scrambled egg hash that allegedly had andouille sausage) anything more than what it is. And in that case, you can blame no one but yourself for playing it safe.

Oh my. The croissant and whatever jam went with it, delightful. The coffee was perfectly roasted. I had an omelette--sweet corn, goat cheese, tarragon. I don't even have words to describe it. It was transcendent. Best brunch I have ever had.

james f.

A great place for brunch, get a crepe, you will want to order another one. They change the crepe menu offerings frequently and offer sweet and savory options. There is a pretty tasty dessert selection on display in at the counter. I have went inside on a crowded night and just purchased a slice of cake to go. I have no patience, so I will not wait to eat. This place is always crowded, so prepare to wait unless you go at an off time, mornings during the week are clear, the parking sucks.

Our brunch couldn't have been better. The chocolate croissant was flaky, buttery deliciousness; my outstanding french toast was made from croissants; the bacon still makes my mouth water. Apparently those in the know go to MarchÃ©: We were in Nashville for the U2 show the night before. U2's opening act, Florence + the Machine, were having brunch at MarchÃ© the morning after the show as well...you know that you've chosen the restaurant well when the table next to you is occupied by a band that just played in front of 50,000 people. Most importantly, the food was outstanding!

AMAZING. every single entree was perfect and delicious. Poutin was amazing, zucchini fritter was amazing, blood orange mimosas were amazing. Every single person of a 6 person group loved their food. We want to come back every Sunday for brunch...if only we didn't live in DC.

What an adorable place to eat! I went here for breakfast after a night of drinking and the heat was just too much for us! We had to wait 40 min but that gave us time to walk around and explore this wonderful new neighborhood. Although we did see a dancing man that smelled of garbage, the walk was nice and as soon as we made it back - it was packed. We started off in the corner window and it was so cute! The beautiful dainty waitresses, the cute table clothes and adorable chairs all combined to create a rustic, old country feel in this cafe. We ordered the bread bowl that came out with little dishes of peanut butter, nutella, jam, honey and butter. I ordered the brucetta (which although for 8$ is kind of expensive) was delicious. It had goat cheese and precutto on it! Not a very big portion though. And my friend got the oatmeal that had cute little apple dishes on top! We also got some yummy drinks to go along with our breakfast. I got the pomegranate mimosa and the other the blood Orange. They were not as sweet as expected but i think with the added champagne you can't really change it. Our waitress actually knew the menu and had notes on all the dishes, she was wonderful. The only thing i could change is to up the AC, it was extremely hot in there and the fans didn't help. Other than that - cute place and I'd definitely go back.

I'm now a regular at this little joint because it's probably the cutest thing I have seen in Tennessee so far! It's not too big but it's not tiny either, where the people are just close enough to exchange pleasantries but far enough to hold their individual conversations. The staff is so friendly and I can become friends with any of them any time, it just makes my day to go in for lunch and be able to be stress free of everything and be genuinely taken care of! The food is very fresh and so excellent! The lunch menu has just the right ingredients for everyone, I know because I'm extremely picky but here I don't modify my food! They also have a modest but rich wine selection. Any palette, from fine to plain, would find a wine it would like; white OR red - or both heh heh. Overall this place has an artistic and relaxing atmosphere, I wish it was closer to where I live so I could go there even more!

My wife and I went in here expecting a half-way decent breakfast. Instead, we got the best breakfast we had in a long time. We started with the bread basket appetizer, which came with I believe 3 breads and dipping sauces (peanut butter, nutella, peach jam, butter, and honey). This was nice. We both had the coffee, which was good. For breakfast, I ordered the Croque Madame, which I had to ask what it was; basically a grilled ham and cheese (great cheese, and great ham) with an egg on top. I thought it would be okay, but it was AWESOME! I can't recommend it strongly enough. My wife got the ham and cheese omelet, which was the same cheese, and it was really good too. They both came with a "breakfast salad", which had a light tangy sauce it was tossed in. Strongly recommend!

Wow, Marche for Sunday brunch was perfection. My boyfriend surprised me and took me here, which was awesome to begin with. Then we got here and were both pleasantly surprised with how amazing the food was. When we walked in, it was packed and the layout of the place was kind of confusing. We didn't really know what to do, then after standing there like idiots for a minute we discovered that the hostess stand was in the middle of the restaurant. The wait was only about a half hour, so we ordered some pomegranate mimosas while we waited which made it go by a little quicker. When we were seated, my boyfriend insisted on ordering the artisan cheese plate for an appetizer. This was amazing, and my only complaint is that I wish there would have been more cheese on there. I then ordered the crepes and my boyfriend the herb-feta omelet, both of them with a side of bacon. Both of us loved what we ordered. The portion sizes were perfect, and even after gorging on a cheese plate, I finished all the food and wasn't toooo too stuffed. Although, I must say, the perfect end to my brunch was the nap that followed when we got home. My mouth is watering thinking about Marche, and I want to go back soon!

This is a must-try brunch place for Nashville. Great food.... Simple, but always delicious. Great coffe, and save room for dessert. Worth it. If you go on a weekend prepare to wait as this place is super popular. Portions are not huge, but satisfying.

Mike H.

As the name implies, the food was individually prepared and contained very fresh ingredients as befitting the "artisan" in the name. The clam bake was well-prepared and full of fresh tomatoes, and the tomato-basil first course was excellent. My wife's chicken was grilled to perfection. A little pricey, but well worth it. The building does not provide the best ambiance, but the staff is attentive and it isn't too much of a detraction. A must-visit in East Nashville.

Mmmmmmmmmmm! I'm sure you've heard all the raves, but, have you made it over to the East side to check it out? After countless orders of french toast, crepes, quiche, mimosas, Benton's bacon, and the like in our lovely town (and still a few places on my list yet to try), my consistent go-to and wearing the crown as my #1 fav brunch spot goes to Marche Artisan Foods. This super cute cafe of sorts has all the elements of providing a fabulous morning-time (ahem, or afternoon) meal. I love the casual European bistro-style atmosphere, along with their AMAZING pastries (chocolate croissant // almond croissant // or the bread basket, served with an assortment of yummy spreads), and the best brewed coffee in town (no lie). Some additional menu items not to miss are: The wonderful assortment of brunch bevs including blood-orange mimosas The croissant french toast coupled with a side of perfectly cooked applewood-smoked bacon which is absolutely my favorite in town Any of their always-evolving crepes, all of which will change your life for the better I reinforce the success in choices of my favorite fab restaurants by out-of-town friend's reactions. This past Sunday I brought a foodie-friend from Dallas here and she LOVED it! Marche has NEVER let me down, and I assure you it will be on your list of favorites if it isn't there already. One word of advice, get there early early on Saturday/Sunday, or shoot for later in the afternoon (Say around 3:00), otherwise be prepared to wait.

Mike K.

This place is fantastic. It was a bit of a wait for our table, which is fine, but once seated the service was right on! I ordered the croissant french toast, as did my friend, but I also ordered an egg, some bacon, and toast. We sipped our coffee while we waited for our food and it was delicious. I love coffee, I'm not a snob, I don't regularly hate coffee, and even had some circle K when I woke up for the drive to Nashville from Memphis, and the coffee at Marche Artisan Foods is delicious. It is great, it is good coffee. When the food arrived it was all still fresh and hot. The timing was perfect in the back, my french toast was warm, crusty, crispy, flaky, the egg seemed to just have finished sizzling, the toast was crunchy and warm, the bacon was perfect. The entire meal was prepared unbelievably well, and this place was packed! So I have to assume that if my plate was perfect it wasn't because my order was unique, I wasn't special, so everyone's plates must have been just right! And let me tell you, everything was a hit! The egg was just what I ordered, the bacon and toast were what I wanted, and the croissant french toast was better than I imagined. Go here and get it. I will make the drive back to Nashville for another one of these brunches, and it may be soon.

The salmon entree that I ordered here was the most delicious meal I've had in a very long time...and I don't even like fish! The menu rotates every month, so you know ingredients are always fresh. If I lived in Nashville I would definitely be a regular here. In fact, my only gripe is that I couldn't try it all ;) We went on a Saturday night and probably should have made reservations, since we ended up sharing a table with two other parties just to get a seat. Service was excellent and prompt despite how busy they were. The restaurant atmosphere was very cute and had shelves stocked with local TN food products. This restaurant is a must for out-of-towners, or anyone looking for a great dining experience.

My boyfriend and I were visiting in Nashville and looking for a good place for Saturday brunch. After we struck out with an hour wait at the other restaurant, we stumbled upon Marche driving down the street and decided to give it a shot. We lucked out with a parking space behind the restaurant and walked into the bustling, modern, rustic brunch spot. The separate counter for cafe foods and coffee was a really nice option, but we wanted to sit. The hostess was very nice and there was only a 10-15 minute wait, so we decided to stay. When our name was called, we were seated at a long butcher-block style table with two other couples on either side of us; this really reminded me of a European style of dining, which I'm always a fan of! But for those who aren't, there are plenty of regular tables. I ordered the half size of french toast and house made granola with yogurt. The french toast (half size was 2 big slices) was to die for and the yogurt and granola was delicious too. HUGE bowl of granola! Enough for probably 4 regular servings. You definitely get what you pay for. My boyfriend ordered the egg sandwich (I don't exactly remember what else was on it)... but I had a bite and it was delicious. No complaints with the food quality or prices. And OHHH, the coffeeeeee!!! Amazingly delicious served with what seemed like full fat cream... I was so satisfied and even got a cup to go. On a final note, the waitress was friendly and attentive. My coffee cup was never empty. Excellent brunch experience, one of the best I've had in a while.

There's a reason this place has so many positive reviews. It's consistantly delicious. They always have a great menu and I appreciate that it's small and changes often. It's a crowded little place if you go at the wrong time, but a mid-week lunch is a good bet for grabbing a table quickly. The steak ceasar is great, if it's offered, and you can't go wrong with any of the breakfast offerings. Really one of the best places in Nashville.

First time there, parked in their lot, met up with some friends who could not be seated because we were not there yet (delayed due to Titan's football game blocking the exit). Titans 11 minute delay caused another 20 minute delay after we got there. Was slightly peeved at that as if they had allowed seating we would have been there by the time the waiter got there, but I understand why they think it's a good business idea to do that (they're wrong, but you can't convince restaurants that very easily without more proof than is available). Anyway, I had the mushroom omelet, a half order of their french toast, some coffee and a slice of their bread from another person who was there. The omelet was good, the french toast I was not too fond of - I think I make a better french toast than they did, and it was $4.50 for a half order, which was 2 slices of it. The coffee was pretty nice. The slice of bread I had was not good. Total time spent there was about 1.5 hours, there were lines constantly, took a bit to get our checks, about as long to process them. Basically I think we held our seats for nearly an hour out of that waiting on something. The waitstaff was really nice, seemed to be on top of it for the most part, except that "it" was getting too much to handle as crowds of people were just waiting around, getting in the way, while waiting to be seated. I don't think I would have liked to be at the tables up top, as those people were getting bumped in to by the people waiting to be seated who had to keep moving constantly. At one point during our wait I just walked outside as there was no where to sit to wait, and standing meant you were always in someone's way. Bathrooms were clean as all getout. They have a sign up in them that tells all the awards they won, but no mention of who gave them the award, nor the year, so you'll notice right off the bat they won first and second place for best restaurant. Mmmm hmm.. It was pretty good mind you, but I am not one for waiting, or for overpaying for mediocre french toast. (2 slices at 4.50 came out to roughly 50 cents a bite) Trying to get out I was faced with being blocked in by someone who wanted my parking spot and could not back up due to another person behind them. Waited about 4 minutes for them to move and try and parallel park, which blocked the person behind them behind me. So yeah, parking is not so good - I would park on the street if possible.

I'm in town from Chicago and took my parents.....super tasty and great atmosphere. I had scrambled eggs and the farm freshness was amazing. We ordered the croissants and french toast, both very very tasty. We went at 9am on a Friday so great atmosphere although I could see the room getting very loud on the weekends if it were packed. Great experience and will definitely go back. It

My friend and I came here on the last day of our Nashville visit. I don't know why we waited so long to come here and I don't know why we waited until Saturday to do so. The place was crowded and a little out-of-control, but after having the food it was easy to see why. A table for two constituted a 45 minute wait, which was plenty of time to have a cup of coffee, review the menu and peruse the stationary, travel-sized Nutella packets, and baked goods up for sale. I decided on the quiche and my friend on the steak and eggs. Both took a little while to come out but when they did it was nothing short of amazing. The crust of my quiche was flaky and surely bad for my arteries. And as if we weren't already cutting our lifespans short with each buttery forkful of "artisan food" [Does that translate to "heaven on a plate"?] we ordered two desserts which we TRIED to share with each other. Yea, that didn't really happen.

Disclaimer: Yes, I'm biased, as a former Marche server and a good friend of lots of folks still ensuring that this place RULES. But if I'm to review any place in the city, it should be this one, with consistently delicious and creative presentations of breakfast, lunch, dinner and brunch standards. Saddle up with your big ol' loud visiting family or laid back gang of friends at a farm table (you gotta split whatever "fruit, cheese, spread and bread" combo is seasonal, i.e. peaches and ricotta). Have an intimate convo and glass of wine with your #1 at a round table by the window, while waiting for the most affordable fine dining supper in the city. Or, as others have mentioned, you can grab an A+ meal or sweet snack in a hurry, ordering directly from a darling barista, who'll also whip you up the best latte of your life. Revel in my personal favorite East Nashville pastime, a rousing guessing game of "hobo or hipster?" as folks walk in. (The diversity in clientele is notable and nice.) Altogether warm and authentic, Marche consistently hits homers with me, even or ESPECIALLY now that I must pay for the food. :) GO THERE, and (duh) tip graciously for the experience you're sure to enjoy!

I have been here 2X once for brunch on Sunday, which was amazing, the food is perfect. I mean perfect. I am a picky eater. I came because they were featured in the New York times and I wasn't disappointed. The second time, I went for dinner. Their soup was so yummy, I was sitting there with my eyes closed making happy noises. Their staff is friendly and attentive, without being intrusive. The bread and cheese appetizer was wonderful. Whenever I go here, I wonder why I don't go more often.

The food is fresh, local and delicious. The menu rotates, so I can't recommend anything specific, but the salads are always great. Perfect portion sizes, great service, French farm cafe ambiance.

I stopped by MarchÃ© for brunch with a friend over the summer. The place was absolutely packed (it must be extremely popular), but our wait wasn't long and we were seated fairly quickly. Ordinarily I'd order a mimosa, but at $8 or so for a small champagne flute, I decided to order brewed iced tea instead. Born and raised in the South, I'm so used to tea = super-sweet iced tea so I was surprised when my tea arrived unsweetened. Duh, of course...but it had a lovely light flavor which I really enjoyed...nothing like sweet tea at all! I ordered the peaches and ricotta, which were served atop a thick slice of multigrain bread and drizzled with honey. It was literally one of the best dishes I've ever eaten, and heads were turned at nearby tables to gawk at my plate. Visually appealing and delicious! My friend ordered the croissant french toast and said it was great as well. I'd seriously drive the 4ish hours back to Nashville for another order of peaches and ricotta. I wish I'd been able to try other menu items too since they looked like they'd be just as good.

Let's just say that if I am ever to die and be reincarnated as a piece of delicious artisan bread, I shall spend my whole bread life trying and wishing and hoping to become a piece of Marche French toast lightly dusted with powdered sugar and drizzled with maple syrup. Ah. Delish. Visited Marche this morning for brunch with the bf and I must say that we were very, very pleased and impressed. I loved the giant bowl like coffee mug that our lovely waitress refilled very often. And I just spent an entire paragraph describing the French toast...so my thoughts about that are already pretty obvious. Marche is not a big restaurant, but it is filled with farm tables, laughter, and East Nashville's finest. They get really crowded for brunch on Sundays (we'd actually tried to go before and left after discovering that we'd have to wait about an hour...), but if you've got some time, then I say put your name on the list, grab some coffee, and chat with your pals outside.

Really good brunch. This place was on so many lists of must-eats when I was researching things to do in Nashville, so we had to come try! I had the pumpkin-mozzarella panini, which was good and fresh and so fall-y :) The wait wasn't too long either...we got there about 11am on a Saturday and waited maybe 20-30 minutes. Real cute place!

Marche remains to be one of my favorite restaurants in Nashville be it for Brunch, Lunch or Dinner. I simply love this place. Marche is one of these places where you can randomly select items from the menu and you are almost guaranteed to love whatever you selected. I always pick random things from the menu and I have not been disappointed so far. This itself speaks about the quality of this place. The menu is small but they keep changing it every month or so. Everything on the menu is amazing but deserts need to be acknowledged separately. I had the peach cake today and I don't remember having a desert so good in the past several years since I moved to Nashville from Paris (France): it is soooooo good. To summarize, this is one of the very few places where I have always been satisfied and would highly recommend this place.

There is simply nothing bad about Marche during the week and the place to be on Sundays! The menu items are always a perfect blend of flavors and art. Pushing the envelope for artistic creationism is what is exciting about each and every plate. The coffee is endless and the laughs soon follow. Be sure to check out some of the local, artists, stars, musicians sitting right next to you. This is the place to be seen in East Nash. Also, be sure to bring your reusable grocery bag with you to shop for a few unique and wonderful items presented throughout the restaurant. Overall, this is always a pleasure and great for any type of event you want to celebrate or revel in.

This place won me over with the basket of exquisitely baked breads and home-made preserves. Nothing beats the experience of tearing open a piping hot croissant, smearing it with butter and apricot jam, and washing it down with some strong coffee. YUM!! The other breakfast items we ordered were delicious also. Love the atmosphere, just don't look too hard out the window.

I'm going to take the road... most traveled and plug east a circular peg into a circular hole. Marche is a fantastic little stop in the East End, and you really have not had fabulous artisan bread or artisan food in Nashville until you stop in at Marche. Let's cover off on the fab: 1. The restaurant is cozy. The restaurant is chic. There are refurbished desk tables as tables, and there are hints of refurb everywhere. Very awesome. 2. Service is impeccable. The entire staff from host(ess), to servers, to cashiers behind the go-counter, and to the chefs in the back are all extremely helpful, all smiles, and our server made suggestions for the entire table to try. 3. The coffee: well, to be honest, I'm not really into coffee. But the glass sizes were amazingly large and companion seemed to really enjoy her pumpkin latte once we found out that drinking coffee like a soup bowl was 'ok' etiquette in Marche. 4. The food is fab-o-licious. Artisan breads, fantastic muffins, homemade granola, eggs over medium cooked perfectly, polenta, sweet potato ravioli, omelettes stuffed with goat cheese and tomatoes, and to die for crepes. Prices are on par with a Panera bread or ABC type place. But Marche is so many levels of class above a Panera that I really shouldn't even be mentioning them in the same review. But just trying to give ya an idea if you're completely unfamiliar with the concept of an artisan food place. This place is a jewel in Nashville. By the way, if eating brunch, it fills up exponentially fast around 11:00 and the wait becomes very long. Arrive early.

Outstanding place to eat. They have the best brunch in town, and dinner there is amazing as well. Very unique, seasonal dishes that are always well thought out and hit the spot. The only reason why I won't give 5, is because they know they are good and treat you like it is a privilege to eat there. I am not one to usually tolerate pretension, but I always make an exception when I eat here.

I have to say... If it was not for the food, I could probably live without MarchÃ©. I have visited two times in the past week on separate days and found the service to be just abysmal. The servers are average and most certainly not instinctive with their service -- in fact, it would be a stretch to say it was even good. There were considerable delays in just greeting the table, let alone taking orders or delivering specific food items. Now... the food -- that is something that is legendary. The quality of the entrees, sides and desserts were fantastic. Between the scrambled hash from Saturday's brunch to the BLT at Wednesday's "ladies who lunch" --I was in heaven. So good, that I would return in the future for 'to-go' orders, It will be sometime before I sit in that cafe again though! Oh.. and God save me from the Peach Marscapone Cake... Just like the delightful Meryl Streep movie from 92... This cake literally is "death becomes her".

went to Marche twice while visiting Nashville for a weekend. The peaches and ricotta is superb. peaches were perfect texture and sweet! the ricotta is homemade and so good... the steak and eggs is the heaviest I tried on the menu, had to get a side of polenta bc so good from the 1st visit. The wait is long but worth it. great mimosas!! Love Marches

On a busy Saturday night in Nashville, my girlfriend and I had a delicious meal at Marche! Complete with braised short ribs and salmon, we were consistently impressed with the casual setting, gourmet menu, and attentive staff. This restaurant is clearly very well managed and has a magnificent chef crafting the decadent menu.

My first experience with this European-styled cafe was this morning for brunch with some of my girlfriends. I used Yelp to search for "Brunch" spots and this was at the top of the list. And for good reason! I love places with quaintness and ambiance. I have not traveled to Europe as of yet (boo!), but I like to feel as if stepping into a place like Marche is what it would feel like to be there. We arrived around 10am and really didn't have to wait long at all for a table. I have been told however that if you catch it at a bad time, the wait could be about an hour. One of my girlfriends ordered a starter of Pears and Camember on Toasted Wheat Bread with Honey. A very good combination of flavors! I decided on the half order of Croissant French Toast with warm Maple Syrup and Powdered Sugar and two fried eggs. It was light tasting (not as in calories, just not HEAVY) and DE-licious! The service was excellent and prompt. Marche is a perfect spot for Saturday brunch with the gals! I have been told it's great for any meal really though!

We were in Nashville for one day and I really wanted to choose wisely. I'm so glad I was able to find Marche through Yelp. Since we were there on a Sunday morning there was a bit of a wait( 20min) but once we were seated, it was lovely. Blood orange juice? Yes, please. Cute southern boys in polo and khakis as far as the eye can see? Sweet waitresses with cute accents? Yes and yes. It also doesn't hurt that the food was delicious. It was very hard to choose but I ended up ordering the scrambled egg hash with potato, corn and gruyere cheese. I loved it. The restaurant and the neighborhood don't seem to match up but still a great find.

Breakfast, Lunch, or Supper, MarchÃ© offers a delicious, consistent experience. High on the list of reasons we wanted to move to East Nashville, MarchÃ© is the sweet younger sister to elegant and established CafÃ© Margot just around the corner in Five Points. Since moving to East Nashville, we're now "locals," and we typically avoid MarchÃ© on Sunday mornings for brunch. While it is worth the wait (especially if you have family or friends in town who need impressing) 30-45 minutes around peak brunch time on Sunday can be hard to take. If brunch is your thing, go on Saturdays and go early: 9:30-10am. Breakfast and Lunch during the week are slightly less crowded, and supper (served until 9pm) is your absolute best bet for beating a wait. The menu here changes monthly (whereas big sister Margot changes theirs nightly) and some dishes who get their start at Margot have a way of turning up on the menu at MarchÃ© from time to time in some form. Tonight when we were in, we started with Beau Soliel oysters with prosecco mignonette, accompanied by glasses of Sophia Coppola sparkling wine. The oysters were firm and sweet and the mignonette (a tart, vinegary compliment laced with a little onion) were very nice. I hate oysters which are too "snotty," and prefer firmer ones: these were great. For dinner my husband had the bratwurst, with lentils, oven roasted tomato and warm mustard vinaigrette. The dish was was hearty, yet the vegetables kept it bright and not heavy. With the beer pairing of New Belgium Hop-Tober, it was excellent. I went with the Painted Hills hanger steak (one of my favorite cuts of meat), served with boulangere potatoes, garlic green beans and radicchio. I've had Painted Hills steak at MarchÃ© a few times and this one was excellent: the kitchen knows how to do a good cut of meat justice, cooked it a perfectly medium-rare. The wine pairing was a 2006 Gladuim, La Mancha, Tempranillo, a juicy wine with good acidity that held up well to the steak. For dessert, we both went with the butternut squash tart with cinnamon whipped cream. The crust is made with oatmeal and the flavor was similar to pumpkin, with a slightly lighter finish. I loved it and daresay I could eat a whole pie by my lonesome. Delicious! MarchÃ© never disappoints.

Having just had a baby it's tough to get out for nice dinners (even though our little one is pretty chilled out) because 1) it's weird taking a baby into a fine dining establishment and 2) most fine dining establishments aren't equipped to deal with a poop blowout. So, we've found ourselves doing a lot of breakfast lately and we decided to hit Marche on a Sunday morning for brunch. Not only are the food and service amazing, but the atmosphere is great and its perfect for kids - in fact, I think the kids may have outnumbered the adults on our last visit. I had the best steak and eggs I've ever had, and the gazpacho was perfect. Plus, this is one of the few restaurants in town that serves brewed coffee that doesn't suck. It gets busy but if you can manage to get there when they open at 9 you'll have no problem getting in without a wait.

My family and I were strolling through the east end one evening with no intention of stopping to eat but when we saw this little gem we had to stop in and try it. The beautiful unassuming decor was part modern but part rural chic and the largely french inspired menu beckoned us to come in and give it a try. Snacks quickly turned into a three course meal and a botle of wine and evening cafe au lait, as each course just kept getting better and better. I'm a creme brulee fanatic and Marche's was one of the better ones I've had. The staff couldn't have been nicer either. My daughter knocked over a one of their glass table decorations and it was quickly cleaned up. I became very uncomfortable just due to my personality, but the staff quickly took my comfort level back to relaxed which is no small task. Next time we're in the area we'll definitely be revisiting Marche...this time hopefully without the kids.

Marche is like Margot's casual cousin. But one of many good things I can say about Marche is that it lacks the mincing, inattentive jackhole servers that infest Margot. They are a great place to hit for lunch or brunch, I believe they recently started serving dinner on certain nights. They have a compact but well-thought-out menu that changes frequently. I've been very impressed with their soups as well. They also go for the whole localvore movement, so most of the ingredients come from the area. Last time I went to meet my wife for lunch, I had an Italian sandwich which was on a fresh roll. The real winner was the tomato that was on the sandwich. It was as big around as my face and clearly homegrown. A nice, generous, beefy steak-cut of a slice that I considered leaving my wife for. As for her, she had some sort of roasted eggplant sammich that had pesto and was to die for. She as well confessed thoughts of infidelity upon ingestion. Nice to have vegetarian options that are not total culinary crap, like say at 'The Wild Cow' (couldn't resist a jab). For dessert she got the Peach Yogurt cake, which sounds disgusting to me, but was actually quite delicious. The peaches were clearly fresh and could not have ended up in a better situation. Our server was sweet and personable, and very frank about her thoughts on menu items. I love it when a server can speak with honesty, intelligence and experience to help guide a selection, rather than push whatever the kitchen needs to get rid of. They also have a small market of fancy foods/ local products, which is nice, but certainly no deals (I think they sell Benton's for twice what you can get it for directly from the source). A nice touch, but better for browsing than purchase. Parking is also great.

Melissa W.

Wow, Great food for Sunday brunch! I had the parmesean polenta/fried eggs and mushroom ragu and really could not get enough. The dish had so much flavor it was amazing. I will have to go back for lunch and dinner to see what else is in store. The bread basket is okay with raisin bread and multi grain pieces, but someone at the table got the salmon on crostini which was on a challah type bread and everyone RAVED. As suggested we arrived at 8:55AM and got in the first seating.

Everytime I'm in Nashville, I dine at Marche. This place is delicious. It's portions and food are perfect. I only thing I would say is that dining room is VERY loud when it is packed with people.

Eating at Marche is a bit like going to your grandmother's house, if your grandmother was a really good cook: the furniture is a bit too fussy and almost everything served has a bit too much butter, cheese, or bacon. Don't get me wrong - the cooking at Marche is top-notch. However, when this place first opened, I had hopes that it would become the de facto commissary for East Nashville - a place where you could stop in and get a relatively inexpensive meal a couple of nights a week. But given how expensive and fatty the menu is, I find myself rarely going to Marche and instead headed to Wild Cow or Silly Goose.

Hugh M.

It's not fancy and its badass. The finesse, attention to detail, and knowledge of how to ACTUALLY cook something is refreshing in a town that more often than not doesn't jack about a crepe for example. Its for the in-crowd. Its for the out-crowd. And that's the point. The waiters r what non-east-siders would classify as cool. They're super nice, really professional, and replete of that snobbish hipster attitude that so many other hip places seemingly bathe in. They don't trick you into thinking something is great bc there's some exotic ingredient or technique. They don't overcrowd the plate or overwhelm u with choices. All the food is so fresh that I keep looking for the garden in the parking lot or on the roof or something. Margot is part owner and in my opinion this is the much more compelling and satisfying of her two places. And I really like Margot (one of the best date places in town). Order whatever you're in the mood for. Close youre eyes and imagine what you want to eat at that exact moment. Go for lunch/b'fast. But don't forget about the dinner menu. Its inexpensive and out of this world good. For those of you who care a lot (aka too much) about decor...if you don't like the layout, well, then plainly you're not the kind of person anyone with a little hint of cool and good taste would ever want to have a beer with. Whoever's mother this is should be very proud. 1FF

Uh, this place is incredible. My parents who come from a major city and are very cultured foodwise, fell in love with Marche. We went on a beautiful Sunday afternoon for brunch and had enough food to keep us full until dinner time and every dish we had (and barely shared) melted in our mouth. I now visit once a month or as often as I can! Love.

One of my Favorite Breakfast/ Brunch/Lunch places in Nashville! Very Foodie Friendly! If you love Fresh, Local, Homemade, food that you savor and experience- this is your place. If you're looking for huge portions and cheap prices just to shovel in your mouth and be on your way, look elsewhere.

Great coffee, fresh & wonderful bread, seasonal menu borders on frou-frou. (a member of my party once ordered bone marrow) The place is ABSOLUTELY PACKED on the weekend and they don't take reservations. Not only is the food tasty, but they sell breads, meats, spreads and cheeses. Not a bad place to go if you're trying to impress someone. You might even spot a country music star!

Yum! The food was perfect - if you're either a meat eater or vegetarian. Eating vegan here during Saturday brunch time is difficult - but, not impossible. The service was great, and I loved that we could get coffee while we were waiting on a table (around 30 minutes - to be expected when the food and service is good!).

Linda N.

We went here after not getting to Margot's early enough. Same owners. Nice, open, retro-feeling space. Fans...no AC. I had the swiss chard, potato, and feta crepes with the cherry tomato sauce. Really good. I also tried the cheese grits...some of the best I've tasted. Must have a lot of cheese and/or butter! Water and juices were lukewarm (literally)...not sure what the refrigeration system is there. Also, a small kitchen so they don't cater to special ordering/substitutions. Cute, albeit pricey gift area at the front entrance while you wait for space at a community table. I bought some Olive + Sinclair chocolate bars, which proceeded to melt in my luggage...but reformed at 30,000 feet. Yummy after all.

A great place to meet friends, have lunch, people watch, enjoy high quality food, shop for unique food items and soak up the relaxing and convivial atmosphere. We went whole hog at lunch today, meaning coffee, appetizer, main course and dessert. I thought the portions were just right for the ingredients and the price charged. I mean, we ended up needing a to-go box! I came into this deal knowing that the food would be a notch or five above the typical meat and three joint, and Marche fully met and even exceeded our expectations. The omelets and fried eggs were made from fresh eggs and were expertly cooked. The chorizo was tasty. The artisan cheese plate, now that was definitely way above average. The coffee was a unique, strong-flavored brew like Starbucks but better. The dessert display is beautiful, and the raspberry cheesecake tart split four ways was a great ending to the feast. The place was full when we got there, the waitress said expect to wait on the weekend. I am glad that Nashville has businesses like this one that pull together high quality food and food items that are from a variety of cultures. This establishment would not be out of place in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, or any other epicurean-focused population center.

Maybe a long wait, noisy dining area but there is a reason why. The food is fantastic! Visited repeated times for brunch and was never disappointed! Even after a hour long wait. Delicious, simple food that does not bore the palate. Will be back as a stand by many times! Try their breakfast crepe of the day or peaches on toast... amazing!

This place reminds me a lot of Foster's Market in Durham, NC - delicious, fresh, and oh, yea - fresh! It's a bit of a trek if you're staying in a hotel downtown, but very worth the cab ride. (I wouldn't walk the 2 miles, because the area between the city and the restaurant was a bit desolate. This place was recommended to us by Roman Candle's lead singer Skip. They're based out of Nashville and were really helpful. If you can get there on your next visit to Nashville - do it! Awesome food and great atmosphere. My wife and I had strawberries and cheese on homemade wheat bread with a side of vanilla yogurt and granola (also homemade) and a fresh corn and spinach omelette with ricotta cheese.

Stefanie P.

Cute brunch place. Your mom will love it. Perfect to take parents or out of town guests. The Brunch menu is always changing and there is always a special. Price is about $9 for an entree, and there's even brunch appetizers! The coffee came in a huge mug and was delicious. Get there early because this place fills up fast. I'm pretty sure this place gets all their food and stuff locally but there are most def some healthy options for breakfast. The fact that the word "artisan" is in the name of the place pretty much sums it up. FAN-CY breakfast bunch lunch place!

Michael S.

I came here for lunch a while back. I was impressed with the knowledge that the wait staff had. She was able to explain each dish to me. The food is very clean. I had a burger, on the menu it says pasture fed. I had no idea what that meant. Basically it means the cows aren't fed slop and they are housed in a "stress free" environment. This keeps toxins out of the meat. I would give it 5 stars but I dont like the location.

Joy M.

Stopped for Sunday Brunch. Started with coffee drinks - hot chocolate and latte were tasty. Croissant French toast - half order was one croissant split in two slices - yum! Tween daughter enjoyed chocolate croissant and bacon. Husband liked Salmon Tartine, but not enough salmon. Very reasonable prices.

Catherine S.

I would have to say, I think Marche is a bit over-rated. They have maybe a couple things that I enjoy off of the menu, but who wants to go to a place where there is a small chance of ordering something that tastes decent? I must say... their cucumber sake bloody mary's are great. Service is also good... and New York Times says it's one of the top 10 places to visit in Nashville, so you don't have to go by my word... The 3 or 4 visits I have made there have not been impressive though.

I came to town on business and found this spot via yelp. The door man or cabby had never heard of it and boy did I tell them about it. I had a business breakfast and the noise level was fair and the wait staff very attentive yet allowed us to conduct our business. We each had the omelet of the day ham and mushrooms and were very happy. We ended up buying some treats for the road. Everyone should go!

Julie R.

All I have to say is that I left Marche with a stomachache, ripped tights (from the chair), and $50 poorer. I desperately want to like Marche and I have had a couple of dinners that have been good, but this last visit was such a disaster that I don't think I'll be going back. The service was abysmal, my food was under seasoned and drowning in butter and I only have myself to blame if I keep giving it "one more chance". Thankfully we have so many other options on East Nashville, I feel confident that I won't miss taking this place off my list.

Excellent brunch! I've not been to this place for dinner or anything else, so this may not be a fair review. The sausage at this place is amazing. It comes out on a plate with a huge knife and it's not a tiny little tube. It's huge! (That's what she said.) The mimosas are wonderful with your choice of blood orange or pomegranate. I had both... about 6 or so. Great atmosphere, a little loud, worth the money. Very busy on the weekends, but worth the wait.

I rarely go out for breakfast at breakfast. An exception was made and Marche was decided upon. It's been recommended more than once and I'm glad I stopped by. It was pretty busy, and even so we were seated within 10 or 15 minutes. We had the bread basket, which was 6 half slices of bread (2 challah, 2 raisin, 2 wheat) with an assortment of fresh peanut butter, honey, apricot preserves, whipped butter, and nutella. Simple, but a nice starter and I did like the variety. I had the fried egg on top of pork on top of toast. The listed sauce, which I don't recall (see next phrase), was seemingly non-existent. Chimichurri, sofrito, what was it? Regardless, it was tasty. Breakfast-mate had the hash (eggs, chorizo, peppers, potatoes, onions). While the eggs were slightly under for my taste, it was good. The spice from the chorizo held everything together quite nicely. Service was excellent. It is a bit pricey but not shocking. I want to go back and try other things.

It's really nice when traveling to find a good quality restaurant after being on the road for 10 hours. We attempted to visit several other restaurants but they were all closed but we happened to drive by this one to give it a chance and it was well worth it. The waitress was excellent. She knew about all the items on the menu was able to help us decide what we wanted. I had the swiss chard tart. A savory piece of tart with mushrooms and just enough egg not to over power the green apples and cheese. My traveling partner had the Mushroom tartine which was excellent as well. The halloumi cheese in the tartine complemented the mushrooms well. To top it off I had a very rich hot chocolate to go, it was dark yet sweet enough to satisfy my sweet tooth. The other items offered looked delicious as well and left me pining for more, but unfortunately we had another 5 hours of driving to go.

Definitely my new favorite brunch spot -- and lots of other people's judging by how crowded it is. I think I've gotten omelets both times which were ok, but I might recommend trying something else. Not that it wasn't good, but I can't say it was the best omelet I've ever had. My friend and I also find it odd that they wouldn't sub or take anything out of the omelets -- she's a vegetarian. They must premix them or maybe just don't want to bother with special orders since we got rebuffed. The pastries and such are amazing, however. My friend and I got this lovely fresh pear with mascarpone and honey over some kind of bread. Delicious. I could have had five of those and been happy with my coffee. I'd try to get there very early for brunch or expect a wait. Although both times I've waited, I got seated much faster than the quoted time. One time the hostess told me 45 minutes that ended up being more like 10 which was a happy surprise. Margot and Marche are both awesome spots to go in East Nashville. I would say Marche is a bit expensive, but that's why it's a treat when I go instead of an every week habit.

Such a fantastic brunch spot. Casual, laid back, right in the middle of the hip area of East Nashville. They don't take reservations though, so expect a wait on a Saturday or Sunday especially if you have more than 2 or 3 people. I think it's worth it though. Rustic, French country decor (well I think anyway, I've never actually BEEN to the French countryside!) and an open--but small--floorplan make Marche a really cozy place to hang out and catch up with friends over coffee--or in my case, Diet Coke. If they have quiche on the menu (and haven't run out of it), GET IT! Always scrumptious no matter what kind it is. Food selections are limited to about 8-10 but I think that's a good thing. They use local produce, meats and dairy when available and everything is always super fresh and in season. If any artisan breads are on the menu, give those a shot too. One of the best things I've had there lately was a foccacia with fresh tomatoes, mozzarella and basil baked into it, then topped with the same and back in the oven just enough to melt it all. OH. MY. GOSH. So freakin' good. Service is a little on the slower side but it's always been good. Wait staff is attentive and very knowledgeable of the menu.

Excellent service, relatively easy parking, not too long of a wait on a sunny Sunday morning. Friends had the chicken crepes and the two eggs on toast w prosciutto. Both were incredibly delicious. I liked the prosciutto dish best, salty yummy and comforting. I had the hash with sausage potato peppers and eggs. This wasnt fantastic, mainly because the texture of the sausage was too firm, it was hard bordering dry... but when properly chewed still tasty. That dish was a 3, but the other two were fives, so Im letting it slide. Service was good and my coffee was pretty good.

Just finishing dinner with my lovely wife and had to post a review about the fantastic dinner. I had the trout which was perfect..... Not very one tiny bone and perfectly done.

We so much prefer Marche to Margot, more consistent and less attitude. Evening dining can be quite romantic, market salad, pappardelle without the rabbit - ask for extra shrooms, washed down with a glass of something red. Delicious and not but 5 minutes walk back home. Grab some blue cheese and other nibbles from the deli counter on the way out and Ta Da bed food for later. Omlettes for breakfast always good here. Lines get very long on weekends for brunch.

Marche functions as one of the classier little brunch spots on the East Side. It's tucked in Five Points near Woodland Wines and Z's Deli, and, along with Margot, is one of the businesses that are stepping up the appeal of the area for yuppies and 30-somethings with large expendable incomes. On nearly every occasion I've stopped in to Marche to try and get a table, I've been turned off by the typically absurd wait time. More often than not (especially on weekends), a line of eager patrons forms on the sidewalk outside of Marche, and wait times can stretch past an hour. However, when you're lucky enough to be seated without much of a wait or are willing to stick it out, the dining experience is pretty top notch. Marche offers a lot of fancy little gourmet items like curried lamb and omelettes dujour. Their prices aren't exactly cheap, but they certainly aren't bad considering the quality of the food. Portion sizes are a bit smaller than what I'm used to (and I eat kind of a lot for my size), and their "side items" are really more like a leaf or two of spinach with some oil on top. The servers, however, are always very nice and extremely attentive. Despite the problems symptomatic of being a fancy little gourmet restaurant (small portions and prices that are slightly inflated), Marche is a great spot to grab brunch. Just today I had lunch there with a friend, and we treated ourselves to a couple of mimosas. Hey...how many opportunities do you get to have a pomegranate mimosa with your meal?

I absolutely adore Marche. I recently visited for brunch with friends and was absolutely blown away by the service and the menu items. The wait is just like any other for brunch in Nashville - longish. For a table of 3 we had a 30 minute wait. What makes this wait more than tolerable is the option to order a cup of coffee, latte, cappuccino, etc. at the counter. If you order a latte, be sure to ask for a regular mug (if not, they will serve it in a bowl like dish that is hard to hold while holding onto your clutch, trying to converse with friends and moving around the people around you). Great latte. The cafe itself is pleasant with a casual, laid back atmosphere. I would have no problem wearing cute shorts or a maxi dress or jeans to this place. The servers are all lovely and very helpful. The tables are small, but they are excellent at clearing extraneous dishes. The menu items looked incredible and there were several options for vegetarians, pescetarians and your usual carnivores. We started with a cheese plate, more coffee and ordered our entrees. We all sampled each order and agreed that most were delicious. The french toast left a little something to be desired but no worries. We had plenty to choose from. However, when our server cleared plates she proactively offered to remove the french toast from our bill. How kind! It's that kind of attention to customer experience that will definitely keep me returning. Nutshell: great coffees great food great atmosphere GO!

My friends and I came for a late lunch here after visiting the Hermitage this past October. We were cold and hungry and Marche hit the spot. The restaurant itself is very cute. There's a little market area, a counter where you can order things to go, and a seating area surrounded by windows. I had a turkey burger with a side salad and both were excellent. The service was a little slow at times, and they weren't busy, but it was ok because the atmosphere was nice. My friends all enjoyed their lunches, as well. I'd recommend it if you're in the area.

Kelly T.

Came in on a Sunday...all I can say is, busy! busy! but not too bad of a wait. Simple menu, but good in particular the croissant french toast, it was oh so good! Also had the omelette w/ veggies, cooked just right, no complaints. So, I would add this to my weekend list of go-to places for breakfast.

A little overpriced, service a little slow. Hopelessly crowded on weekends. A beautiful spacious place with big windows and sunlight. Silly groceries for sale, you don't need this stuff. Lunch is delicious but you'll spend more time and money in its acquisition than you intended.

We stayed at a place a few blocks away from Marche Artisan Foods and every time we drove by the place was packed. When that's the case, you know it has to be good. We had a bit of a wait when we tried it out but it wasn't too bad. I had the Croissant French Toast and it was so good.

The service was poor. My food was cold. Once it was reheated it came back with significant less food :( I left hungry after paying for a $12.00 plate.

I think the thing I miss the most is Sundays at this place. The freshest food and great service in the hood of all hoods. The owners are great and always around to ensure all is well. Best brunch ever and you know it's good when people are waiting in their cars for the doors to open.

Sarah P.

Lucky for us, we went during a weekday because I read this place had lines out the door on the weekends. After going, I can totally see why! It's not just because the food is so tasty, but there's not a whole lot of seating space. Servers were great, though, and very friendly. Didn't make you feel like you were being rushed out, and I remember the food coming out ninja fast. I'd go back just for the applewood smoked bacon.

Went here with my partner for Valentine's Day. They were completely booked but allowed us to wait and see if we could get a table. The host was able to get us in and it was so worth the wait! The food had great flavor and was fresh! The desserts were out of this world! I will be coming back here again next time I'm in Nashville

Pratima N.

Went there for drinks and a small bite on our trip to Nashville after a full day of exploring and eating. The restaurant had a very laid back, casual feel to it. I'm not sure that they appreciated that we ordered just appetizers and drinks without entrees though. Food was good - especially the lamb flat bread ... Yum! drinks were great. The strawberry rhubarb was my favorite part though - just the perfect amount of sweet. Staff was friendly but not overly involved. Would go back to try main dishes if we get a chance.

Swati B.

my favorite place in Nashville. Service is fabulous, our server was so much fun, she was informative and really laid back. She knew we were from out of town and was helpful on telling us some local gems as well. I LOVED the risotto dish it was so rich and flavorful. The Curry/rice dish was ok, I think i was expecting more of a liquid type of meal but it was rice and curried vegetables, it was actually pretty good. Blood Orange Mimosas. Oh yes they have them. and they are fabulous. Loved the selections of honeys that they have, bought myself a truffle honey. do wish we could have tried it before purchasing but i figure, its truffle it has to be good.

I swear EVERYTHING we tasted in Nashville was fresh... ALL SERVERS were friendly... all the people here are super kind and hospitable... this place is amazing! The food is great, and they have great gluten free options! Our server was exceptionally friendly and gave us some great recommendations for attractions and eateries. Although we only had a chance to try breakfast here, we had a chance to see the previous nights dinner menu, and the selections looked fresh, and unique and hopefully next time we will try those out!

I've been wanting to try this place for a while now but have been put off by the crowds. Went around 2:00 pm and it was perfect timing- only a 10 minute wait! I started off with their blood orange mimosa. Super delicious and their most popular according to our server. Got their omelette and it was superb! I ate every last bite. Perfect place to brunch! Atmosphere and service were on point. I now understand the lines.

Stopped by to get quick breakfast to go since I was running late for my meeting. The Batista person was actually really helpful. She was sweet, obviously new at her job but quickly took my order and answered my questions. I got the breakfast sandwich without bacon. It was kinda disappointing. Certainly innovative with the greens that came with it but it just had no taste. I ate the sandwich in my car on my way to work and was seriously tempted to stop at a grocery store to get some salt for the sandwich. Worse still, the manager (?) was snarky when I asked her for their wifi password. Sorry that I asked but don't have three networks, including one that says "guest" if you are not willing to share. Next time, I will be getting up 20 minutes earlier and spending my hard earned money at Fido.

Me and my boyfriend went here for the first time last night for dinner, and we loved it. Very small place but nice and clean, nice atmosphere, friendly and quick wait staff, great food, for great prices. We've spent the same amount of money or more at other places on our check and left not near as satisfied as we did here. We will be back very soon! :)

Had breakfast at Marche today with husband and our 3yo and 13mo. We got there around 9:45 am and had a 30 minute wait. We enjoyed people watching and looking through the little corner of interesting food items to buy. We could have ordered from a selection of coffee drinks and baked goods while we waited. Started with the oatmeal and the fruit tartine; both interesting and delicious especially that tartine. Entrees of steak and eggs and polenta lasagna. Both heavenly! The eggs over medium on both plates were a revelation...wished I could have gone back to the kitchen for lessons. I really wanted to try most everything on the menu; we will have to come back. It is loud in there which makes conversation a bit difficult, but having two little ones makes conversation difficult and the general loudness meant that any noise our girls made didn't stand out, so pros and cons!

Dined with my husband for brunch today and appreciated the friendly service. I had the French toast, red potatoes and grapefruit brÃ»lÃ©e. My husband had the scrambled eggs, grits, and bacon. We were pretty famished after a long wait and did enjoy the food, but think it was a bit over priced. Fine place if you happen to be in the neighborhood and don't mind a bit of a wait. P.S. We loved the big windows and the light they provided for the dining room. We also shared an 8 top table with several young ladies, but we didn't mind. Could be fun if you happen to be seated next to friendly, less pretentious people!

Diana K.

Yes yes yes! We stood in line before this place opened in order to snag a seat for brunch. The creamy parmesan grits and the chocolate croissant were so satisfying and comforting. This cafe is definitely a diamond in the rough in East Nashville - it is really the only thing to see for several blocks. I would definitely come back for a bloody mary or mimosa to pair with another delicious breakfast!

Chris P.

Yesterday I visited this place for the first time and I wasn't disappointed. I ordered the Tartine with peaches, ricotta and local honey on organic grains toast. Amazing!!! Not to mention I ordered the savory crepes with chorizo and potatoes. The quality of food was on point and the price range was completely affordable!
(5)
Alex M.

Traveling for work I always try to find good local spots to check out. This place seemed to fit the bill so I gave it a shot. I little bit of a wait, but it was definitely worth it! I paid about $15 for my brunch, which wasn't too bad compared to some other brunches I've had - especially coming from Seattle. Please - do yourself a favor and get the croissant french toast. Oh my goodness! Melt in your mouth heaven was what it was. Amazing! I came by myself and was sat at the community table. It ended up working out as I was sat by another man who was eating by himself, so we ended up chatting and it was a pretty cool experience - a nice break from eating in solitude most of my trip. Definitely a classier, "Portlandia" type brunch spot, but I'd say it was worth the hype.

Three words to describe marche: classy, refreshing, tasty. After eating days of delicious but heavy southern food, marche was a refreshing and perfect way to end my nashville trip. They change the menu constantly and print you a new one each day. We started with the manchego cheese plate with raisin sourdough bread and peach jam. This was delicious with our wine. My friend got the pork chop and I had the quinoa salad. Both were delicious. We ended with the chocolate zucchini cake which is covered in decadent frosting and big enough to share. Service was awesome and for the freshness of the menu I thought it was very reasonable priced! Check it out for a break from the typical southern food options!

Afkham N.

Always a pleasure to eat here. Rustic interior, friendly service and such a fresh menu with the flavors to match, I love all of it. Thier menu varies throughout the day and some through the week so u r sure to find new things to try. The tiny mamosa did put a dent in my pocket but hey when in France, do the Romans. I have had thier omelet de jour a few times and the one with chorizo is packed with flavor. For Sunday brunch today however I enjoyed a very decadent Steak n scrambled eggs with delicious rosemary potatoes. The steak was covered in a shitake gravy which sent the tender steak into a different dimension. Like the guy in Candy Crush says, DIVINE!

Coco R.

This is my second time visiting marche for dinner and my experiences have been phenomenally consistent. The first time I came with a large group with a reservation, but this time I came on a Friday around 6 pm with no reservation for 2 and was seated immediately. The pasta dish. Oh my god. Upon my first bite, I could tell that this was handmade pasta--the texture and flavors were rich and delightful. They were spot on with the clam linguine pasta special I ordered. Presentation was beautiful too. Marche will be a staple in my list of restaurants that I eat at in nashville.

I love Marche. I had been there for brunch many times and was never dissapointed, so a few months ago we decided to give it a go for dinner. So glad I did! Way less crowded, decent prices and amazing high quality food! We wanted to repeat the experience so husband made reservations for Valentines day, and once again everything was a hit. Started with an antipasta place (gorgonzola stuffed figs wrapped in bacon, butternut squash crostini, beets, and marcona almonds). Yum. All of it. Also a bowl of curried carrot soup. Husband had an open faced hot fish sandwich that was outstanding and I had the pasta bolognese. So savory and delicious. Desserts are where its at, here at Marche and we split a piece of pineapple upside down cake. Im drooling right now just thinking about it. All in all we both had drinks, an appetizer, soup, 2 entrees, coffee and a shared dessert and the bill was $64. Thats pretty incredible for the quality! If you've only tried Marche for brunch, GO FOR DINNER.

Delicious food. A bit off the path (which I love) so you'll get to rub elbows with the awesome East Nashville lovely locals. Service was fast, friendly and spectacular. All types dine here. Happy to have sat at a table with another couple and surrounded by 20-something hipsters, upcoming starlets, a fun Indian family and some neighborhood families. I had the egg sandwich. Highly recommend this restaurant. Notes: They didn't seat our party until all 5 of us were there and the line forming behind us grew substantial after 10:30am. No one seemed disappointed to wait, we didn't feel rushed.

Kenneth S.

Since I arrived in East Nashville in January 2015, I've been coming here once or twice a month, and the food consistently is delicious. I like to come in afternoon and skip the wait, however that sometimes means some dishes are sold out. You really can't go wrong here. And the waitstaff is generally very friendly and helpful.

Aimee K.

I recently had brunch here while visiting Nashville, and left full and happy! We walked in around 10:30am and there was only a ten minute wait. I loved that you could just walk over to the bar and order a mimosa while you waited, and we might have picked up a few pastries since they were sitting there looking delicious. I will say that I wasn't a fan of the Bloody Mary... it was really watery and lacked flavor. Definitely go with a mimosa. The atmosphere here is pretty cool. I wasn't sure what to expect as we were driving through the neighborhood, but it's buzzing with happy diners and had the perfect noise level. I loved the casual vibe, too. My food was damn near perfection. The omelette du jour was filled with a salty and sweet combo of sweet corn, jalapeÃ±o, goat cheese, and cilantro, and I seriously couldn't believe how good it was. The cheese grits I ordered on the side were the perfect compliment, and those alone are five-star worthy. I was such a happy girl after this brunch. Pair all of the above with a strong cup of coffee, and you've got the foundation for an awesome Saturday. Thanks for starting our day of shopping off right, Marche!

I really hate to post a bad review because I don't like complaining on social media, but the treatment we received at Marche was just rude. We went on a Sunday morning, so naturally there was a wait. We were told 45 minutes, so we walked around the area and came back after about 40 minutes. We asked the host how much longer and he said we were just a few spots away from being called. I'd like to also add that it seemed the way they keep track of customers is by what they're wearing, so he had down "blue jacket" for my husband. Also, not to play any race cards but we WERE the only Asians in the restaurant that morning. Again, I am not accusing anyone of being racist, I just want to point out that we should have been noticeable. AND I was 8 months pregnant, so I'm just going to say that we were PROBABLY hard to miss. Anyway, of course, 45 MINUTES LATER- after numerous times of making eye contact, going up to the stand (he was busy so we didn't actually talk to him because we were trying to patient and not be rude, so just went to glance at the list), etc, we finally asked again and he said that he called our name multiple times- which, he never once called anyone's name to call for a table. The procedure was that he would look at the list and go find the person wearing whatever description he had written down. The entire time, we stood at the front of the round table closest to the host stand, so we were in clear eye sight. Well, the thing that bothered me the most was that afterwards, he didn't offer an apology or anything, he just looked at us and found a waitress to seat us. A simple "sorry" would have made a huge difference, but nope, nothing, nada. The food was actually pretty good but I really can't rave about that after our experience.

Visited while visiting- great place. Cool loft type spot, filled with good looking local hipsters. Had the savory crepes which tasted like more. Omelette with sweet corn got good reviews as well. Good craft beer list - try the Kentucky Krolsch, nice one for brunch. Service was excellent - attentive and accommodating. Highly recommended!

Alex K.

Cool restaurant. Was looking for something light to eat since I was going to be walking around in the heat afterwards. I ordered the grilled cheese which had Gouda, Avocado, and a spinach salad. I also ordered the tomato soup to go with it. The portions were perfect for walking around town afterwards. My girlfriend ordered the Chickpea and Vegetable salad. It was amazing. I'm fairly sure the dressing was made of angel tears. It's a mist try. They were very busy so we did wait a while, but it's worth the wait.

Rebecca O.

Confession: I haven't eaten eggs in 10 years, but I ate eggs at Marche today. They were fabulous! Besides the eggs I had cheese grits (like a good southern girl) and bacon. The bacon was not as crispy, which is what I like. I know most people don't, so make sure you let them know if you want it more on the crispy side. The cheese grits were surprisingly not very cheesy or flavorful. Considering how good the rest of the food was, I would've expected the grits to be up to par. Otherwise, service was good, and like I said, the first time I've eaten in eggs in years. You can't beat that (no pun intended).

There were a few things on my list that I had to try when I visited the south. Fried Chicken, Sweet Tea, Pecan Pie, Boiled Peanuts and Shrimp and Grits. I am so happy this was where I had my first taste of authentic southern shrimp and grits. Im sure its a liitle more sophisticated and elegant here than it is at most places but I'm not going to complain about that. I was surprised to find that this was listed on the breakfast menu but am so happy I didn't let that detour me from ordering it so early in the morning. The grits were super creamy. The carmelized onions felt like someone had put some love into em as they melted in your mouth. Big plump pieces of Gulf Shrimp all came together for an amazing breakfast experience. I cleaned my plate. I adore the rustic sparse but elegant decor at Marche. The music selection suits me perfectly as well. I was so surprised to find that it was actually the same music I play for myself when I'm cooking up an elaborate breakfast. A retro mix of Patsy Cline, n bluesy, sassy modern country songs to get ur cookin' on to is also great music to Dine to. I love Nashville. So hip but yet so old fashioned at the same time. Highly recommend Marche.

John S.

Order anything on the menu you won't be disappointed. Found this gem on YELP. We thoroughly enjoyed the Crepe du Jour (goat cheese, spinach, white beans?), omelet du jour (bratwurst, onions and peppers, cheese), peaches and ricotta to share, cucumber sake bloody mary, and coffee. Easily the best omelet "base" (ie. sans innards) I'd had in my life. How do they make it so good? Places like this, where its EASY to give 5 stars, are hard to find. We had about a 20 minute wait. Parking was slightly challenging. Some patrons will share tables with other patrons. We were fortunate to have a table for ourselves next to the window.

Marche is my happy place. I wish they would bring back the classic teapots though. They just added a lovely touch to brunch..and the new ones spill. Given that that's my only complaint, obviously the place is amazing.

Best brunch I've had in Nashville so far. Wonderful Saturday brunch, I was probably one of the few college students there. The wait wasn't too long and my waiter was very sweet. The entire place screamed hip and classy - it's a gem of East Nashville. Had a mix of food that I shared with a friend. The sugared grapefruit was delicious as were the crepes and grits. Not much else to say except for the quality of food was magnificent, service was prompt, and I'm looking forward to my next visit here!

If you like brunch, chances are you have been to Marche. It is one of those hot spots that the brunch crowds can't seem to get enough of. People (including me) have waited in absurdly long lines just to get a bite of their fantastic croissant french toast. To me, it elicited flashbacks to the epic Portlanda Brunch Special. If waiting in line isn't your thing, and you love French bistro fare, Marche at nighttime is a pure delight. Here is something that should come with no shock: We ordered bone marrow for an appitizer. I feel like I should write A Cavewoman's Guide To Nashville: EVERY RESTAURANT THAT SERVES BONES. Marche's bone marrow was served more traditionally, cut horizontally with the bones in chunks. I passed on the bread and just used my fork and tongue to get the fat out. This marrow was served with a lovely smoked sea salt. The salt was pretty amazing, something I never thought I would say about salt. Steve ordered the potato and leek ravioli with gulf shrimp in a tarragon cream sauce. I think he picked it because of the tarragon. The shrimp were cooked beautifully and the ravioli were tender and definitely home made. The cream sauce was lovely and surprisingly perfect for a cold winter night. My only issue was with the size of the portion. It was pretty tiny, even by fancy restaurant standards. They could stand to throw in a few more ravioli. And for another non-shocking event: I ordered duck. This was a duck leg confit with butternut squash and Brussels sprouts in a fig jam. I'm not sure if I have made this clear on the blog, but I'm in love with everything fig related. Figs and ducks happen to be a perfect pairing. Also, the sweetness of the fig jam over the Brussels and squash was heavenly. The duck itself was cooked just the way I like it, pink in the center with lots of crispy fat and skin. I have a soft spot for Marche. It is located on one of the most recognizable corners in East Nashville and vaguely reminds me of a pastry shop where I had breakfast while visiting Paris. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. Steve even picked up a few cookies on our way out to bring home to his parents. If you have only been for brunch, I recommend going for dinner.

To quote a previous reviewer "the food is nothing to write home about". We went for Sunday brunch on my last trip up to Nashville and after the 45 minute wait we were pretty let down with what we got. I haven't been here at any time other than this occasion but they had a very limited menu that offered small portions and high prices. I got the sweet crepes which were tolerable but nothing I would order again. I got the impression that they were just trying to put as many fancy sounding ingredients as they could into each menu item just so they could justify the high prices. My friend is vegan and despite the surplus of hipster waitstaff they did not have much for vegan options. She ended up going with a salad that was served with nice brown edges (always appealing). For $4 she was able to add on 2 small diced red potatoes and for another $4 she was able to add on 5 pieces of asparagus. Our server might have been new as she seemed rather clueless. Sweet girl but not very attentive and brought the wrong items out. On a positive, the interior space was nice and if it could be paired with better food I would probably go back.

Nashville has come a long way in the past few years when it comes to good food and fun restaurants. Marche is one of those bright spots, in my book. The interior is bright and cheery, and the service was quick and friendly on our recent visit. Everything our party of 4 had, tasted great. And, which is a big deal to me, their ingredients are mostly organic. So bonus points for that. Marche does not offer a huge menu, more"cafe"-like, but they do have different menus for breakfast/lunch/dinner and brunch. Pretty good Bloody-Marys, too. The small bakery part off to the side is offering some amazing bread, tarts, and cakes, as well as a number of other products (chocolate, honey, jelly, flours and baking mixes, from what I remember). We'll be back.

Terri S.

Wonderful!! Variety of choices is more than adequate & each member of our party was content with the entrees chosen. Fresh & unique foods. Prices are inexpensive, given the quality. Worth the wait. Tried their mimosas, mulled wine, lattes & coffee - all were exceptionally good. Only downside was the high hipster count of clientele!

Christina D.

This place was super cute, and right in five point. I had the mushroom quiche which was just ok, my side of potatoes were delicious though! My friend had the crepes which she loved, and a croissant ( that i immediately regretted not order after tasting hers). Lots of coffee options and brunch drinks. The brunch menu was pretty small, so that could be hit or miss in the future. Unless you just order a croissant, just order the croissant.

The grapefruit brulee was amazing, as was the fruit tartine. We split biscuits and gravy for the table which was a great call because it's heavy, but delicious. Great place!!

the spinach (or was it Kale) tart and side of (REAL)bacon were simply divine. Great flavors going on. Love the idea of "Friday Brunch" that they presented. Start the weekend early here. Coffee served in REAL diner style cups was delicious. Wonderful service and atmosphere. I took home leftovers and had a nice nosh the next day. Parking was a challenge but up the block is free street parking.

i went back a second time because consistency is important and was disappointed. this is just overpriced dull food and salt and pepper wont help. the line and the service dont really give the proper impression either. this place is for people that dont get out much obviously. nothing special for your money thats for sure. for some reason i want to compare this place to waffle house. maybe because the flavor is about the same. my review is probably going to mysteriously move out of the top position now. i will say the grits was the only part i liked. eggs were tough both times.

Everything is fresh and delicious. The cauliflower melt and the banana-nutella crepe were delicious! The wait was worth it.

Came for Saturday brunch -- place was packed. Sat at community table, which I honestly HATE. The only place that gets a pass for this with me is Monell's, because that's the style of restaurant. Down home at grandma's house? Fine. Family style. That makes sense. Expensive brunch place? Let me eat my brunch with my lady friend in peace. That being said, I enjoyed my grits/eggs/bacon. Everything was well cooked and tasted right. Coffee was good. Believe that my paramour enjoyed her food as well. Ultimately? Not killing it for me with brunch. Will investigate other meals.

MarchÃ© spanned the entire spectrum of eating, from the best of the best - to pretty disappointing - over the course of one brunch We started with chai tea and almond milk lattes. They were HUGE and all kinds of warm and comforting. The coffee was mild and sweet, as was the chai. Seriously, you could probably give a preemie baby a bath in one of those mugs. I ordered the scrambled eggs, biscuit, and cheesy grits as an entree. Five stars for the best cheesy grits in the world. Three women - all born and raised in the South - unanimously agreed, then had the pleasure of watching me eat it all of it. The eggs, on the other hand, were nothing special. They were room temperature and bland. At the far end of the spectrum, the biscuit was cold, hard and mediocre. Considering biscuits have the potential to be the greatest part of any morning meal, I was soul(food) crushed. When the guy next to us was also served a biscuit and gravy, my friend said, "THAT GRAVY LOOKS DISGUSTING." To which I immediately embarrassedly shushed her. She said, "He can't hear me." To which he replied, "It does look pretty gross, but hopefully it tastes good." Takeaway: You may end up sitting very close to strangers, and though the gravy may look like brain matter, volumes matter, too. We also ordered the polenta, which was creamy and super finely ground, served in a savory, spicy red sauce. Tasty, but nothing to write home about. And certainly not cheesy grits. The only real problem with the meal was in the steak and eggs dept. The steak was served super rare instead of medium, as ordered. When it's too early to make a scene, and too early to eat bloody meat, the conundrum is significant. Overall, MarchÃ© has the potential to be great, you just have to know what to order. If you still haven't figured that out, the answer is cheesy grits. The answer is always cheesy grits.

This place felt a little overrated. We went there while passing through Nashville. With so many great reviews this place was a no brainer choice for us. We had the quiche and not only was average, it was also cold. We ordered as well the smoked salmon omelet (where my best guess was that salmon had migrated upstream) not so much of a generous portion. And last but not least was the steak and eggs. This seemed to be a left over from an earlier plate. The stake portion was extremely disappointing ( don't get me wrong, I'm all for portion control). Our 10% tip was not a mistake! was an statement on the quality of the service. Coffee and pastries that we had while waiting 30 min for our table were VERY good.

I feel like I can close my eyes and point to anything on the menu! Coffee and service are always great too. This is definitely what I think about first thing Sunday mornings for brunch!!

Marche deserves 5 stars only because the food is that good. The atmosphere is pretty nice too, but the restaurant isn't prefect. The wait is pretty long and some of the prices are a little ridiculous (e.g., $4 small bottle of mediocre OJ and $5 hot chocolate). I had the half french toast plate and a bowl of granola with yogurt. They were both really good. It's hard to make a french toast dish that really stands out, but they've managed to do it by using croissants.

This place was so good, I got steak and eggs with an iced chai, totally awesome. Only deduction is the waitress was horrified of my boyfriends tattoos. But, if you're a normal person, you are good to go!

I didn't like this place and the other people I ate with really didn't like this place. I understand what they are trying to do but it didn't work. I have been to places where what they are trying to pull off succeeds and this is a far ways away. In short, I just didn't like the taste of the food. From the bread they served us that came mid way through our meal to the not so fresh tasting tiramisu. The only thing I enjoyed was the broth and bread that my mussels came with. The pot roast and polenta I ordered just didn't fly and I found the cheeses and toast my mother ordered to be severely overpriced. The thing that really solidified my review was the poor service of our waitress. She was very somber, quiet talking and a little uninterested. She took forever to pay us any attention and as I mentioned before took forever to bring us cold sourdough bread. This place definitely made me lose hope in the Nashville section of Yelp. I mean this place is rated very highly and I don't know why, I can show you comparable places in Atlanta that would blow this place out the water.Maybe it is better at brunch but dinner is a no go.

Cat S.

Great food and great service. We ordered chocolate croissant, croissant French toast, omelet du jour--Broccolini with Swiss cheese, and savory crepe du jour--stuffed with yellow squash. Everything tasted great. The chocolate croissant was not crunchy enough, but they did use the right kind of chocolate which made it awesome. The $4 noble blood orange juice was too little for the price. However, everyone was very friendly and helpful. My hot water was replaced before it went cold. This is definitely the place to start a great Saturday.

Best brunch I've ever had, hands-down. I would honestly go to Marche more often if there wasn't always an atrocious wait for a table. When the weather is pleasant, I've seen the wait line go out out this door. This ain't no Pancake Pantry! Anyway, the atmosphere is chic and casual, the service is surprisingly quick once you get seated, and the food and coffee is always fresh and delish. I love the savory crepes, omeletes, and crescent rolls the most. I've never been here for lunch or dinner, but I'd wager to say it is as amazing as Marche's breakfast items.

Jennifer C.

Stop reading this review and go eat at Marche NOW! I went for Sunday brunch and it was definitely packed but I only waited about 30 minutes. You can get a coffee or another drink and even a pastry or snack while waiting. I say go for a hot chocolate with the marshmallow - it's sinful how good it is. I perused the brunch menu (it changes) probably the entire 30 minutes and still ended up ordering a few different things because everything sounded so good. For my main dish I ordered a cauliflower, caramelized onion frittata which was great. It was a little cold when I got it which is my one and only complaint about my meal. They had a delicious sweet potato soup with chorizo which was out of this world. And I had to try a side of grits because everyone raved about them. They were super creamy and yummy. I wanted to go back the next day it was so good. I'll definitely be stopping by here again when I'm in Nashville.

We visited again today but after noon and there was a much shorter wait, We started with Cappuccino, which was excellent. We shared a bread basket served with five little spreads from butter to Nutella and it was a nice assortment. My wife had the Hoagie and I had the Gruyere strata (Crunchy cheese bread pudding with egg, brown gravy and mushrooms) which was a fine combination and I recommend it. Our waitress Ami, was informative but not intrusive. Very limited free parking but there is a paid lot directly across the street.

Marche never disappoints me. Every time I go, the menu is somewhat different. The ingredients they use are local and fresh. I especially love their soups! Last time, I had a sweet potato soup with chorizo and spinach. It sounded weird but tasted divine! The time before that, I also had a soup, I don't remember what ingredients were in it though, however, it was delicious as well. I also had their steak and eggs... the eggs! I always get sunny side up with the gooey yolk running all over my steak... yum! I tried their croissant french toast as well, it was so simple, classic, but so good!

LOVE MarchÃ©! Iced coffee. CrÃªpe with duck, white bean, Manchego cheese and tomato sauce. Omlette with gruyÃ¨re and ham. Hot, straight from the oven almond croissant. Could not dream of a more perfect French lunch! The food was beyond tasty. The place is cute. The staff is very "French", and lovely. Will definitely come back because this place has stolen my heart, and my 5 out of 5 stars.

Kathryn H.

The wait on Sunday can be very long, however there is plenty of coffee to drink while you wait and you can even try the delicious bakery treats too. The 80s/90s dance mix made the wait much more fun! I ordered a breakfast of eggs, bacon, and cheese grits and it was just as it sounds- simple & delicious! The servers are friendly and prices are on par with the quality of food. I did feel like I was in a Parisian cafÃ© right here in Nashville. I've had lunch here and it is much less crowded, and the food is equally as delicious. The salads are wonderful! Marche is a great place to take out of town visitors when they come to Nashville.

We decided to stop in this past Saturday after a 5k at Shelby Park. We've read good things about their brunch and we were in need of a re-charge, so it was a no brainer. The expectations were pretty high, as we had a great dinner experience here a year or so back. I can say, with out a doubt, that those expectations were exceeded by miles. We started off with a shared plate of Peaches and Ricotta. The dish was presented on artisan toasted wheat, spread with lightly sweetened Ricotta(think cannoli filling), with fresh sliced peaches layered on top, and drizzled with local honey. It was such a simple dish, but the freshness of the ingredients and the way they were handled, made for the perfect start to our brunch. For main courses we went with the Open Faced Brisket Sandwich, Croissant French Toast(half order), Pimento Grilled Cheese and a side of Falls Mill Cheese Grits. We wanted to keep it light, haha. I'll start by saying that the Brisket Sandwich is by far the best savory breakfast item I've ever had. Toasted Italian bread, topped with roasted brisket, au jus, and two fried eggs...amazing. The brisket was cooked perfectly, pull apart tender and had tons of flavor(caramelized onions and red wine really stood out). The fresh eggs were fried exactly as ordered and really complemented the brisket. The best part of the dish had to be getting down to the bread that had been soaking in the jus, under all that brisket. Along with a side of creamy cheese grits, this was breakfast perfection. The Croissant French toast was another hit. A perfectly flaky croissant, dipped in french toast batter and served with real maple syrup(amen). The buttery pasty was the perfect vessel for french toast, I can't believe I've never tried this before. My only regret was getting the half order. The Pimento Grilled Cheese was possibly one of the best I've had(though we haven't made it to the Grilled Cheeserie yet...gasp...I know). The sandwich was toasted just right and the flavor of their pimento spread was outstanding. I'm not sure what kind of cheese was used, but it was slightly smokey and it really made the dish. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. Everything we ordered was on point and the service was great. They started to get extremely busy about 20-30 minutes into our meal, but the server never skipped a beat. I'm ashamed that it took us so long to try the brunch here at Marche and I'll use any excuse I can to get back as soon as possible.

Worth the wait. Simple, fresh and always hits the spot. Friendly staff keeps service moving. If you see the peach tartine on the menu - get it. Toasted grain bread, fresh ricotta, the most in-season sliced peaches, drizzled with local honey. Heaven on a plate. Savory crepe is also a must!

Mariel J.

Marche Artisan Foods was a really cute place - it almost felt like you were just eating in someone's house - the kitchen was in the same room as all of the diners - and the service was great. I shared the roasted delicata squash salad, pumpkin and mascarpone tortelloni, shortribs, and a flatbread that was the special of the night. All very good and reasonably priced! Great service, too (our waitress even helped us figure out where to go nearby to listen to live music).

Davy G.

Fannnnntastic. We don't live in Nashville, so we chose our brunch spot from among a flurry of recommendations from friends. Our first choice -- which I can't even remember the name of, now -- was closed, so we went with #2. I can tell you this: Marche will never again be #2. Everything ordered by everyone was delicious. I had the sweet crepes, my wife had the savory. You couldn't pick a favorite. The iced coffee in its wine glass was precious, but delicious. My son's standard bacon, eggs, and grits were surprisingly tasty, especially the cheese grits, which were a revelation. Even my wife's side of roasted potatoes had us shaking our heads in amazement. On a different note, the service was great despite the place being absolutely slammed. Beautiful space, too. Definitely recommended!

This is all my bf has talked about trying, so we finally went for Sunday brunch. We missed the long line that's usually there for brunch, so that was cool.I ordered the American breakfast it was scrambled eggs, Parmesan cheese grits, chicken sausage and blood orange juice. Eh it was ok, nothing spectacular. My bf ordered the lemon raspberry crepes. It was good. So overall The waitress was very nice and quick service. I might go back and try something different.

i met some girlfriends here for my birthday lunch, and it was oh-so-lovely. we started off with morning drinks--who wouldn't want to start every morning with a drink? and had appetizers of the apple and brie toast and their toast basket with: in house made marmalade, peanut butter, whipped butter, and hazelnut spread. i ordered a pumpin tart (it had bacon in it!), but regretted that after my first bite :( i'm super sensitive to salt, and the salt taste was overwhelming. i didn't complain about this (because it's my preference to not care for saltiness), but when i server saw that i had not eaten hardily any of it, she inquired. i told her the deal and she offered to bring me something else; however, i was already full from a drink, and lots of hot tea, and brie and toast...so i passed. she came back and said that the chefs tasted the other tart, and agreed it was way too salty, and they were actually pulling it from the menu for that day, and took it off my bill. everything else was amazing, my friend's dishes were splendid, and so forth. i'd still go back. :)

The Chorizo Burger is melt in your mouth delicious & the Pear Mimosa is a cold, crisp, glass of happiness! Worth the wait.

Marche would absolutely get 5 stars but I'm deducting a star based upon lack of a seating area for the wait that's sure to follow being checked in. That being said the food and wait staff deserve the 4 stars. The vanilla latte I enjoyed while I waited for my table helped the time pass. After being seating I had the apples and Brie which was just perfectly served on top of toasted cinnamon raisin bread. My husband loved his croissant French toast. Will return but it's a little trek to get back to east Nashville.

One and Done! Visiting Marche's has been on my mind for awhile because of the wonderful reviews, referrals from friends, and the sister entity to one of my favorite Nashville restaurants, Margot CafÃ©; so we headed across the river this Sunday afternoon. I always enjoy promoting restaurants to friends and clients but this will not be a good recommendation. So much going for Marche' Artisan Foods - location, great vibe, lively atmosphere, prompt service and friendly staff. But it is about the food and it was mediocre at best. We had entrees of steak and eggs and frittata. The steak was tuff, dry and not prepared per order. I was more satisfied eating Steak and Eggs at the Waffle House (now granted it was 3am and my taste buds were most likely skewed). The sauce was overly seasoned, dry and old roasted potatoes, the eggs were extremely runny beyond the yolks, and the frittata was very, very dry. This is rare for me to write a poor review and maybe it was just a bad day and timing at the restaurant. After all, this place is highly recommended by a lot of Nashvillians, but for me I was underwhelmed and my visit is one and done!

Marche was awesome. We visited Nashville for four days and Marche was one of my favorite eating experiences. We had Saturday brunch there on 12/21. The place is eclectic and small; the hipsters were there in droves. The only negative was they place is very loud but that did not cause the loss of a star. My favorite was the coffee, Drews Brews Thick French which was strong but not bitter. We bought three bags of beans for gifts. We had a little of everything: croissant pancakes, eggs, sausage (both pork and chicken), croissant roles, and even the organic oatmeal. The orange marmalade was outstanding. All very good. The desserts looked good but we didn't partake. Service was good and the price was reasonable for what we received. Our waitress was very friendly and was knowledgeable about ingredients and dishes. Tableware and linens were clean and neat. Expect a wait if you arrive prime time, but I would say its worth it.

Heather F.

Very pleased with Marche. The waitstaff was nothing but nice and all smiles. The food was really amazing. I had the meatloaf sandwich. The only thing that would have made it perfect would have been tomato sauce/ketchup but I'm not sure how French that would be. They make a lot of their stuff from scratch. Example their jelly is canned homemade. I love to can myself and can appreciate getting to experience the real thing vs store bought. The mini general type store up front was cute and would be a great place to grab a gift for somebody. The only downside to Marche is that it is very popular and isn't super big so there will probably be a wait. That's okay though because it will be worth the wait.

It's like everywhere has brunch these days. I think they're now serving brunch at the Sunoco by my apartment. Everyone wants in that brunch game. But you know what? Not everywhere is cut out to serve the fine brunch that is deserving of people who just really need to get away on a Sunday morning for some fancy feast and a seven dollar possibly alcoholic drink. This looks like a negative review, but bare with me! I am a man dammit. Give me some bacon and eggs and let me get on with it. I don't need to make an event out of it. However, I understand that to keep up with the ones I love, I must get on the brunch train and keep my mouth shut. That said I am thankful for you, Yelp. You provide a forum for me to voice my thoughts. You listen to me, Yelp. Marche is a worthy brunch venue. The atmosphere is naturally bright and open. The menu has a nice balance of items. Our waitress kept the coffee coming and had a smile on her face. That goes a long way. Ratings: Atmosphere: great Menu: decent Coffee: eight Friendship: unlimited Gift shop: sure Taste: tasty Thank you, Marche. You set the bar for brunch.

Popular place. Hip clientele. There was a bit of a line. But the food was worth the wait. I had a delicious tartine with strawberries, balsamic reduction, and mascarpone. The restaurant also includes a little store where you can buy candy and condiments. I would definitely go back.

I REALLY hope we came on an off night because seriously this was completely unexpected and upsetting. -Friends birthday: we had a late evening reservation, it took twenty minutes to be seated and we didn't eat for another hour and a half. -Service was SLOW and they were rude when we asked where a cheese plate was. When the cheese plate came out, it was a slice of cheese and some jam. That is not a cheese plate, that is a cheese sample - change your menu wording. -They either cooked the peas to death or used frozen peas in my Prosciutto and pea tortellini. The dish was flavorless and shriveled. -The side of new potatoes that came with a friends overly salted fish were definitely burnt. The only redeemable factor were their desserts. After a very sad experience at Marche for dinner, I think I'll stick to their brunch, or only make early evening reservations.

Hands down best Brunch spot in Nashville. Amazing staff and delicious grub. Get there early on the weekend and order multiple items to share. Favorites: The Tartine (ridiculous), the savory crepe (changes) and the croissant french toast (duh - this... THIS). We also have a special place in our hearts for Ashley & Evelyn - these ladies ALWAYS help make our experience amazing.

I finally made it to the mecca of East Nashville brunch places and my only real complaint is that its such a drive for me...though I'm sure my waistline is ok with that. Oh MAN the food here is so good!! Yeah, its small inside and yeah, it gets super busy, but if you can get there early enough to beat the rush, have some of their yummy coffee to wake you up, you will not be disappointed. Stellar service, delicious food, and a little bake shop inside along with the ability to purchase other local artisan foods makes Marche a must-go for any weekend. I highly recommend having toast with their homemade pear jam. And purchasing some of it on your way out to get you through until the next visit. The do basic breakfast food (including the best grits I've ever had, and I hate grits normally) and lovely brunch-style options (like the best steak and eggs ever conceived by man). So it gets loud and crowded, who cares when you find a little slice on heaven in great food and service. I will happily wait for a table to enjoy another experience like that again. And it will have to be soon, I am running low on pear jam!!

My friend and I tried this place out for the first time while I was in town. We ordered the fennel sausage flatbread as a starter. It was tasty and had a little bit of a kick to it (just the right amount). The braised rabbit was excellent! It was really tender! We ordered the spiced apple cake and nectarine cream cheese galette for dessert. The apple cake was ok; nothing spectacular. Nectarine cream cheese galette was bland and shouldn't really be listed as a dessert option. I'd come back to try their other entrees. It looks like it changes every month.

I wasn't blown away by my experience here but I definitely see the appeal--it was a pleasant dining experience all around. I had the croissant french toast with eggs and the bread was pretty amazing. It doesn't compare to the bread I had in France but it was definitely among the best I have had state side. I really believe it was a treat considering the price--they could totally charge a lot more. Undercharging for high quality food? People will line up for that

Best brunch in Nashville. French toast is a favorite. Can get crowded especially for groups during prime brunch hours. Everything tastes fresh. I love dining here. Took family from out of town here and they loved it. Neat location with walls of windows.

This place has a really elegant southern atmosphere. The inside is really well decorated, you can def tell you are in Tennessee. My coffee was old and not that great. Drew's Brew. Also I ordered something called croissant French toast which I had never had before but combines my two favorite things. It was good but one of the pieces was completely undercooked I would love to blame it on the fact that it was busy but it really wasn't. Atmosphere is better than the food on this particular day

Allie R.

This place is adorable. I have been in for both brunch and lunch with friends and family. The food here is very good, simple and pleasant. When I was in for lunch I had the market salad. It was delicious, $5 and a great little lunch portion, and I have also had their sundried tomato basil quiche. It was wonderful. The only complaint I would have is that the service can be very slow. When I was in for lunch we were one of two tables eating and it took 40 minutes to get our three little lunches out.... so that seemed very silly. Otherwise I've had great experiences. Love the atmosphere and the drink and coffee menu. I am sure I'll be back.

Place is jammed on a Sunday am. Not the greatest part of town. Not their fault. Must be good opens at 9 am on Sunday. We get there at 930 and already a half hour wait. Order 2 mochas with skim milk and were told they can't do as its premix and made. Yikes. That'll be $10.90. Admittedly it was really good. With whole milk I suspect so . Ordered the omelette of the day and its made with goat cheese and corn. Comes with a garden salad. Too much goat cheese and the flavoring was too bland. We did split French toast. Yum. Waiter was great. Overall good experience - glad we went. Would get a different option if we go back.

Nichole L.

My favorite place in nashville. Absolutely for breakfast. And a little splurge on dinner. The savoury crepes are to DIE FOR. And you have to have croissant French toast at least once. They've got great mimosas and the roasted potatoes are always delish. I also love the mixed greens on the side of most dishes. Gloriously French with an American twist (as to not freak us out too much perhaps).

Adele J.

Great friendly place for a good dinner. We were greeted and seated by nice hostess. Waitress was friendly, familiar with the menu and made great recommendation. I has lamb meatballs with tziki sauce, salad and pita, my sister had cheese gnocchi. It was plated nicely and was very tasty. Love keeping our dining out selections in our East Nashville neighborhood. This was a nice place to get some good food, reasonably priced with good service and food. Only big problem was poor parking situation at this eatery. Other wise this would have received 5 stars.

Michael N.

Rivals with the best brunch we have ever had. Went with a la carte (grits, Brussels sprouts, sausage, and white bean soup), crepes, and French toast. Wow. Good as it gets. Only hiccup was the Bloody Mary. The virgin was much better than the sake one because the sake drowned out the flavor of the homemade bloody! Got to go.

I was supposed to have a meeting at Marche at 3pm on a Friday. Almost all the tables were empty and the staff was running around for what appeared to be shift change. I didn't know if I was supposed to take my own seat or wait for service, so I stood at the entrance for a few minutes until successfully flagging down a server after a few fruitless attempts. She apologized, having seen me waiting but too busy to do anything about it until just then. I picked my own table and she brought me a menu and a glass of water - she was very friendly. The person I was supposed to meet was a no-show and didn't answer any calls/texts/emails, but my server was very accommodating for the potentiality of a tardy appearance. I had the spinach torte (tart?) which was delicious!!! From the time I sat down until my empty plate was taken away, service was excellent. I didn't know if I was supposed to go up to the register to pay or wait for my check. After about 7 minutes of waiting, I went up to the register to ask (servers were still running about their own business) and a chef talked to me. When I asked him how/where I pay, he said he had started just a week beforehand and didn't know. That's fair, not at all unusual in food service. He called over another server, who found my server and gave me my check. When I paid it, she, in a very friendly manner, bombarded me with information about Marche. I think she'd realized my experience wasn't great and was overcompensating...when all I wanted was to leave. The food was fantastic, and service isn't great in general during shift change anywhere...but I wouldn't go here alone again.

The wait was about half an hour on a recent Sunday, but we didn't mind because we were able to order coffee while we waited. And the food was more than worth the wait. It was so good, we wanted to come back the next morning, but it was closed for Labor Day. A friend and I split two dishes since we couldn't decide between the two. The polenta with sunny side up eggs in a tomato sauce and the omelette with corn and goat cheese. We each ordered a side of cheese grits, too. The polenta was melt-in-your-mouth perfection and the corn in the omelette added a wonderful crunch. We also ordered the bread for the table, and it was so good. Much better than a typical bread basket, it came with three types of bread and five different spreads. I also had a lemon oatmeal cookie with my coffee while we waited, and that was delicious. My friends and I wanted to try the tres leches cake but were stuffed after brunch. But that just means we will have to come back next time we're in Nashville.

I came in at what was clearly a down time, and it was still so slow. I counted five people sitting at tables. I was greeted, but was not asked for my order for a while as I just stood there confused. Finally, I was greeted, and explained that I wanted coffee. I was handed a drinks menu and WOW, this was expensive. Just a coffee was $2.50! How can just a coffee be that expensive. And it's Drew's Brews, so it's going to be mediocre at best. I then ordered my coffee, and waited longer than I thought I should to get it. Now to be fair, I think they realized that they made me wait far too long for the little I wanted, so I will be fair and admit they did waive the cost, and it would also be fair to not that I did not eat any food there, but I don't see myself going back for the coffee. Too expensive and too slow.

I think Marche is great. Although I sometimes have try something completely new because of the changing menu, I have always enjoyed it. Easily the best brunch in town as well.

By far my favorite place in town. Seasonal menus. A local French lady apparently makes their croissants daily, which are out of this world. The coffee is fantastic too. Great atmosphere. Friendly servers.

Delicious! There are loads of fruit and vegetables in this food. I've been making their Strawberry Toast w/sweetened marscapone and balsamic reduction every day since I've been home. I love their little market as well.

Thanks Yelp for helping us find the perfect place for breakfast here I'm Nashville. The French toast was warm & delicious with maple syrup. I'm picky about crispy bacon. It arrived just the way I like & the flax seed toast & eggs were a nice way to start long day on road.

Great place. Nice decor and trendy. My wife had the Steak and Cheese on a hoagie and she loved it. The Curried Chicken & Chick Pea Stew and Seafood Curry was amazing a must try. The Bread Pudding is insanely delicious. The service was fast and attentive. And I like the community tables.

Dropped in on a busy Saturday afternoon for brunch. Just beat the big rush and got our food in relatively short order. I pounced on the steak and eggs with white pesto sauce. The sauce carried the day and the steak was tender and moist. My companions grabbed tomato soup (super rich and creamy) and salad with watermelon, fennel, and arugula (fun combination; nice and light). The place gets LOUD at peak times, which isn't my favorite environment, but the food carried the day.

Time for an update! By this point I have had countless brunches and dinners at MarchÃ©, including this past Friday. I should probably check in more. What I absolutely love about this place is the rotating menu. This time around I went with the seafood dinner, yum yum YUM! The fregole was a perfect base for my clam, mussel and shrimp meal. The mushroom bruschetta was divine as well. We were full after our meal so we skipped dessert but it wasn't easy. During brunch once we ordered the red velvet cake, yep that's right, I had the cake and I ate it too! To the brunches, they always have steak on the menu, it may change but the basics are there. I pretty much always order the steak and eggs, I try and deviate but I can't. I also always gets the pomegranate Prosecco and a bottle of Mountain Spring still water. Recently we have been adding the bread basket to our meal and it's perfect! Homemade peanut butter, jams, honey and Nutella, what a way to start the day. The atmosphere is always wonderful and we tend to luck out with the waitstaff. I have yet to get a bad server, they are always attentive and friendly. I struggle with giving MarchÃ© 5 stars but only because as Margot's younger sister every time I eat at Margot I am reminded how it's just that much better. And when I say that much better I mean a notch, one notch. So should that one notch knock it down to 4 stars? Nah, because MarchÃ© has that much going for them.

Very nice restaurant in a very cute part of East Nashville. The almond croissant was so delicious, definitely a highlight. The peaches and ricotta to share are just ok, I would say go for the croissant instead. The crepe de jour was amazing, perfect amount of heartiness after such a lot of sweet for a great brunch! Get there early, this place fills up.

Kevin C.

Like any great establishment in Nashville, if there is a line out the door, it is going to be good. Marche came highly recommended for brunch, and Sunday brunch it is certainly busy. But, they have some quality coffee service for those waiting outside, and the wait is entirely worth it. Definitely go for the croissant french toast, and I went for the crepe which is quite delicious. I had tastes of some other items and they were all top notch, so you can't go wrong here. Enjoy a lazy Sunday brunch the French err Nashville way!

Great local coffee (drew's brews) and great food. Never had a complaint (outside of waiting to get a table because they are always packed)

Beautifully airy interior, outstanding coffee beverages and pastries, and one of my favorite brunches in recent memory. I had the creamy polenta with two perfectly runny eggs, carmelized onions, and gorgonzola (I think...). So crowded on the weekend, but so worth the wait. The next time I'm in Nashville, it's on.

David L.

Yum! The Sunday brunch is tops! Get there early though...I hated the wait (even though it is worth it!) I returned for lunch at another time. The sandwiches are very good, too. Overall assessment: Positives: - really good food - quick service Negatives: - noisy - limited parking All in all, it's a very nice meal and I like the atmosphere!

Full disclosure: we did not get an opportunity to eat here for the reason I am about to detail, but if you are looking for a great brunch spot without a pretentious hostess, go down the street to Mad Donna. My friends and I were visiting Nashville for the first time and staying in a cute house nearby. I dropped them off at the door to Marche while I parked. From the account I was told as I walked in, the hostess chose to seat a partially-present party in front of us (we saw this unfold). When we inquired why the other incomplete group was sat before us, we were told that "sometimes people lie about their party being here." At this point, I curiously asked if she was calling us liars (a group of moms, wives, and businesswomen in our 30s, it was hard to believe we fit the profile). She responded by PUTTING HER HAND ON ME in what I can only imagine was an attempt to appease me (I really wasn't that upset; it was more confusion why someone would choose to seat three kids under 5 over six well-groomed women). I was a server for 9 years. Touching a customer is only appropriate when your friends and family come to visit and you have a pre-established public display of affection repertoire. She then proceeded to tell us to calm down while we were merely asking for an explanation. We would have accepted any response from: "That was my sister" to "I f'ed up" to "Here is a free crepe while you wait." However, we got none of that so we decided to leave. She had already decided she didn't want us there, and we were fine to oblige. It has been four days, and my only point with writing this post is to caution: visitors beware. That chick is cleary not interested in your business if you won't be coming back. Good news: there are plenty of other places in the area to get good eggs and biscuits without having to deal with a hostess with a bad attitude. While put up with someone like that on vacation?

Very good breakfast here on Saturday with the family and friends. We arrived at 9am on a Saturday and got immediate seating. We did have a large table and had to sit with a few other folks, but it was okay---the room is loud and we didn't mind at all. Food was good! Coffee was lukewarm on each fill-up but I really think it has to do with the carafe's they use, but otherwise it was okay. Eggs were good, bacon was excellent (just the way I like it, cooked completely). Grits were not as good as they have been in the past. (That's why I give them 4 stars this week). Highly recommend if you want something different and your in Nashville for the weekend.

I love the brunch here but hate the dreaded wait so I rarely make it out to marche. however yesterday I was in the neighborhood around 3 o'clock and was able to not only sit immediately but the restaurant was pretty empty which was great for my infant and I (they serve brunch til 4 on Saturdays). the beet salad is fantastic and so is the french toast. I've had the bloody Mary's in the past and hands down one of the best in nashville. if you like fresh, delicious food, great background music, and adorable atmosphere marche is your place.

I love this place and go at least once every time I come back to my hometown to visit my folks. Because each of my visits are few and far between, the menu is always slightly different so I am thrilled to try something new each time. This past Sunday I went with a couple friends around 10:00am that were in town for one night only and this was their parting meal before they got back on the road. We were told that there would be a 25 minute wait but it ended up being less than 10. Although, i think we got lucky because once we left the crowd around the door and outside was quite large. What we had and what we thought: I had the basic scrambled eggs, bacon, and cheese grits plus the half order of croissant french toast. I miss grits so much and these completely satisfied my cravings. Perfect amount of cheese to grits ratio. As in not overly cheesy...really just perfect. Scrambled eggs are easy but they were perfect as well. Not runny, not overcooked, fluffy, just plain good. BF had the Potato and Kale Cake with creamed leeks & corn with sunny eggs. I had a bite and it was really good. He's also crazy for kale so I think he was really happy with his meal. Friend J had the Crepe with white bean, swiss chard, goat cheese and tomato basil sauce. She was also quite satisfied with her selection and pleased that the white beans didn't overpower it but just added a hearty semi-starch to her meal. Friend T had the Chicken Liver Pate Sandwich and some sort of Sake Cucumber Bloody Mary. I did not try either of his things but he seemed happy with his selections, especially the cocktail and took half of his sandwich for the road so he must have liked it. He seemed particularily impressed with the toppings that highlighted and complimented the Pate. Overall this brunch/breakfast left us feeling awesome. Not overly full, not greasy completely satisfied and ready for a day in Nashville and/or for a 12 hr. drive.

I'd like to find the words to describe how I feel about this place.. All I can think of is... Love? Love? It seems to be crowding my thoughts. The menu is small which I like and all of the choices are fresh and perfectly balanced. Its clear that the wine list was carefully selected as they were all familiar to me as reputable regional wines of Italy spain and france. The dessert? Hahahahaah! Great! I got a meringue cookie with a choc ganache center with a side of mode. My waiter didn't even flinch when I asked if it was possible to warm up our cookie a it would make my gf happy. 5 stars all deserved.

Marche was a very pleasant surprise. I am always thrilled to find any Breakfast venue that isn't Pancake Pantry! Marche exudes charm from beginning to end. They have a lot of choices, from pastries to full entries. The menu is always changing so I'm afraid to mention specific entrees. I had two eggs on French Bread with some Bacon and it was really delicious. The staff was friendly and helpful when it came to our selections and really made us feel welcome. I look forward to going back again soon!

I've long wanted to go to Marche for the name alone (it's one of Nashville's more famous restaurants) and had a great brunch at its sister restaurant, Margot Cafe, a few years back. I finally got the chance last month. First of all, avoid Marche on the weekends at peak time. We arrived around 11am on a Sunday and the place was packed (and loud). We had to wait around half an hour but ordered coffee from the coffee bar in the meantime. The wait didn't seem too bad, but once we were seated, we were a bit disappointed to see the menu. It was about half the size of the menu from the week before (which said it had been the previous Sunday's menu...apparently, the menu changes regularly), and there was nothing on it that had a "WOW" factor. We all ordered the French toast and a side of eggs, and it was good...just not great. Sort of boring if you get my gist. I would have much rather had the delicious flavored pancakes or the onion and butternut squash crepe listed on the website, but not found on the current menu! I'd go back...I just hope the menu has more diverse offerings next time.

Sam L.

The line can be long, but the food is definitely worth the wait. We went for Sunday brunch and the wait around 11 AM was 45 minutes. The espresso and cider kept us warm as we waited outside. The French toast was very good as well as the steak and eggs

Incredible! Brought the family here for Sunday brunch before leaving town. Absolutely our kind of restaurant. Farm to table, super fresh, and everything was beyond delicious. I had the steak and eggs, along with yogurt & homemade granola. You must must must try the homemade granola. Also, the lattes are beyond good. Go and enjoy!

Went here for brunch on a Tuesday afternoon. Despite being a very busy place during the lunch rush, we were immediately greeted and seated. Our server was very nice and the food was delicious!!! I got the grilled cheese with blackberry and mint (yum!) my hubby got the potato crepe in a tomato sauce and we split the zucchini and summer squash tart, which we agreed was the best part of the meal. If we are ever in Nashville again we will be SURE to stop by Marche!!

Went here with a group of 12 ladies for brunch on Saturday. I had heard of the long wait (no reservations) so I went ahead an hour early to put our name on the list. They will not seat you until your entire party shows up but I had a couple of mimosas while I waited and looked at their spectacular selection of pastries. Once our party was all here the staff sat us down and were very attentive the entire time. I had the chicken crepes and they were small but spectacular.Everyone at our table truly enjoyed their food, easy to tell when a a group of 12 ladies all of a sudden goes quiet. Some even had room for dessert and every dessert was decadent. This place does brunch right. My only complain is the location. Yes, East Nasty is not my favorite part of town but this gets me there.

I recently went to Marche for Sunday brunch and was not disappointed. The portions are certainly smaller than a hearty American pancakes, eggs, bacon and toast-style brunch, but the ingredients are all extremely fresh, well-balanced, and offered in an equal amount of breakfast and lunch options, surprisingly absent from many *brunch* menus. I ordered the fried eggs over merguez sausage with red potatoes and peppadews. The egg side of the dish was topped with a deliciously mild hot sauce, which is always an A+ when it comes to me and eggs. The coffee was also very good - on the darker roast side. I've heard lunch is excellent as well. Sunday brunch is served from 9-4, considerably less narrow than the Margot 11-2 brunch slot.

I have been to Marche many a time by now, after a full year in N-town. I will say that it has its ups and downs as far as the length of your wait and the quality of the food. It's never bad quality of food, sometimes it's just excellent- and other times it's good. Always on the right side of the spectrum, though. The menu changes constantly, with a few staples that remain. The portions are fairly small, so don't be afraid of an appetizer and ALWAYS get a cocktail. I like the sake bloody mary.... wish I had one now (but I'm at work). I always go for brunch, I have had one lunch there. Haven't tried dinner yet. It's an artisan-y vibe, the staff is on top of it and hip if I do say so. Give it a go!

I'm so happy I finally tried Marche after knowing of its artisan market existence. It seems that this is the more contemporary Puffy Muffin, a place most appropriate for "ladies who lunch". Except there aren't just ladies in here, as it's located in East Nashville and the typical demographic is far from the location in which sits the Puffy Muffin. The menu: There are omelets, quiche, sandwiches, salads, creative cocktails. After reading other Yelp reviews, I'm glad to hear that the menu changes regularly. Next time I go - and there will be a next time - there will be a new variety to choose from! Our meal at Marche was a late breakfast, so we ordered the two omelets of the day - one with roast beef and other meats, the other omelet with feta, arugula, and tomato - and a cup of the tomato basil soup. Well made soup, served not incredibly hot. Very well made omelets. Lovely flavors, both very well cooked and presented with a small vinaigrette-touched salad. On the side we ordered "toast" which was far from just toast. It was two hearty slices of Marche's "artisan" bread with butter and high quality preserves. Couldn't ask for better. Prices on everything were decent (except for the Mocha, listed at $5 - yikes!), but if you sample a few things you're looking at a moderate as opposed to a cheap bill. Still, not unreasonable in the slightest. Last minute, I ordered one of the available cookies - the chocolate mint wafer. This was hardly paper thin as the term "wafer" may suggest. It was a 3-inch in diameter, thick cookie, dark chocolate with a dark chocolate coating on half of it. Great! Although I could have ordered one of each cookie and a serving of bread pudding, I restrained myself. This one introduction to Marche's selection of pastries however already proves to me that their cookies/desserts by far exceed those at a bakery/restaurant such as the Puffy Muffin. Aside from the sit down area of the restaurant, there is a small market area as the name suggests of foods for sale. I didn't take a close look today, but I know bread loaves were available. I can't wait to go back!

Meg D.

Enjoyed a nice brunch with the boyfriend today. The food was quite delicious: croissant french toast, steak and eggs, and cheddar grits. Everything was prepared as ordered and the portion sizes filled us up. The milk is a tad pricey at $3 a glass. Service was more of the "order taker" varietal which was fine at brunch, but i'd hope to expect a little more if I came back for dinner (which I probably will as the food truly was enjoyable.) Ambiance/ atmosphere is minimilistic, the chairs are somewhat uncomfortable. Just sayin'. Anyhoo, nice place.

We live in East Nashville and have eaten here since it opened... Apparently no biggie to Marche! I just had the rudest encounter there that I have had anywhere in a long time. The gentleman behind the counter clearly needs to find another job as it seems he doesn't enjoy his time here any longer. I suppose they are in a place to take their business success in these tough times for granted. I will think twice before popping by to pick up something to take-home to the family as this was a most unpleasant experience.

If I could give Marche more than five stars, I would. It's not often that I'm truly blown away by a place or that a place lives up to all the hype. Marche does. Deservedly, it is crowded during brunch hours at the weekend, but the bar is more than willing to serve you delicious mimosas while you wait. I loved the pomegranate and the blood orange ones. This is the kind of place you just need to relax and enjoy. The interior decor reminds you of a French farmhouse and the food is just the same. Everything is simple, yet well thought out. It's all about clever combinations of simple flavors. We ordered a bread basket, which came with different kinds of bread and a selection of spreads including honey, nutella, and an almond-peanut butter. I really wanted to try every single brunch item and the most difficult thing about dining here was narrowing down to a single choice. The omelet I finally chose was light and fluffy and accompanied by a light salad. I celebrated my graduation here, so they managed to make a special event truly special, and I can't wait to go back.

Amy R.

A little off the beaten path, but well worth the visit. I was blown away by the quality of the food at Marche. I shared several brunch dishes and thought they were all amazing. The peaches, ricotta, and honey on top of toast was totally unique and inventive. I couldn't get enough of it. The crepes, eggs and grits, and everything else was simply to die for. The only down side is that the noise level in the restaurant is off the charts. It's so loud that its hard to hear the person sitting next to you. Otherwise, I can wait to go back next time I am in Nashville.

Marche is a must when it comes to eating your way around Nashville. It''s a sweet little French styled restaurant with ceiling to floor windows and friendly staff. I've not had one bad experience there which is what led me to have my wedding reception there. They were great to work with! The food is always delicious and the menu ever changing to cater to the season's local produce supply.

Casey P.

This place is quickly climbing my list of brunch favorites in town. The man and I have now been 3 or 4 times, and I have yet to find any downside other than the fact that it's an early morning visit (or else you may have to wait because everyone else wants to eat there too). It's nice to have a place in town that I can head to for breakfast that isn't greasy and heavy- especially as a runner. I want to fuel for the day (and a long run on the weekends), and Marche is absolutely best for that these days. I've fallen in love with their homemade granola and yogurt. Hands down one of the best I've ever had. Also love that their menu is constantly changing so there's always something new to try. Their polenta is also delicious. Service is always fantastic and attentive. Never had an empty water glass on any visit. Overall, I'm a fan. Can't wait to make some time to check out their dinner options!

Jonathan P.

Good solid food. Reminiscent of French food, but really not. The joint and the waitresses have that vibe too, French bistro in America thing. They accomplish flavor profiles with their dishes very well, most dishes should be eaten with all components of the dish on each bite. If you don't you may think this joint is super plain. No there is a purpose for those few sprigs of Arugula on your open face breakfast sandwich. The service is a=okay most days except for the mornings on the weekend. That's when it is more crowded than a Cracker Barrel on Veterans Day. I recommend this joint, mostly for the Ambience, partially for the food, not for the service. You will enjoy the dishes, just keep your seat they'll get to you when they get to you. ;)

Great place for good coffee and a yummy meal at a reasonable price for a hipster kind of joint. So as long as you don't mind dudes in skinny jeans serving you your food then you'll love the end game.

Alishah N.

Marche is a great place for breakfast/lunch/brunch, the only disappointing factor recently is that's grown in popularity, which really has caused the wait times to sometimes be a little on the ridiculous side. Weekend brunches with 4+ people can sometimes end up being frustrating when it takes more than an hour to be seated. The food is great, but when it's brunch it can sometimes be tough to justify that long of a wait, when Nashville has a few others to offer (including the sister-restaurant Margot which often doesn't have as long a wait).

Mel V.

Came here for breakfast with my honey since our kiddo was at school. What a yummy breakfast! I orders the egg hash scramble and the hubs the croque madame. We split a side of the sausage, that was the only downfall to our meal as neither of us enjoyed the sausage. But considering that was the only thing we disliked. Coffee is outstanding, service was on point. I understand why this is a busy spot for breakfast/brunch in E Nash.

Place this restaurant in any other city with competition in the area and it would fall flat. The best part of this venue might be the staff and location. Very friendly servers - even when busy. Props. The space appeals to the senses. Its open. Its stylish. It is a little loud and a bit too warm on the elevated area though. The food is OK but doesn't deserve the hype. Specials have been consistently mediocre and bland. The specials have also been formulaic and far from intriguing. The regular menu and brunch menu have decent items that only suffer from lack of consistent execution. Some items have been delicious on the first visit and completely lack any seasoning and flavor on the next. Other items have come to the table complete as described on the menu. At other times, key ingredients are lacking. The biggest plus is the style of food and the lack of any decent eatery of a similar style in the area. The potential is there though. All of that being said, it seems like a mecca for the hip and well - to - do. More image than substance. Worth going to until something a little more worthwhile comes to the up and coming five points area.

Nice place, great service, and the food was delicious. There was a wait, we went on Sunday for brunch. They told us 45 minutes but I don't think we waited more than 15. I recommend the Artisan Cheeses as an app. The black currant jam that comes with it is sublime. After that I ordered a la carte, the portions are generous. The table next to us ordered the croissant french toast and it looked really good. Their plates were clean in no time. I will order that the next time. Table side mimosas rock!

Marcus H.

Marche advertises that all of its food is fresh, which you can certainly taste. Also, it is one of the few fresh food locations in Nashville. I had the fried green tomatoes, a great appetizer. I would go here for a healthy, light food option, if you are seeking one while in Nashville.

Kris G.

Boasting always fresh, wonderful food and informed, friendly wait staff, Marche is great any time of day. Friday we went for a late dinner. The warm lighting and cafe feel, coupled with large windows showing the cold Tennessee evening provided a great atmosphere to enjoy a flavorful meal. I ordered the beef stew over a polenta cake w/ creme fraiche. The stew was more like a pulled beef, and was mostly meat, but the taste was amazing. The polenta and creme fraiche complemented well. After dinner, the Drew's Brews coffee is mandatory. Drew's is a staple of the East side, but it's even better brewed at Marche. A couple of small desserts were enjoyed with the coffee including a chocolate ganache cookie and a cranberry streusel bar. Marche's short, focused menu means this isn't the best place for a picky eater. But for culinary enthusiasts, you can't go wrong.

Nate C.

Marche is a hidden gem of East Nashville. It was one of my coworkers last day and he wanted to go to Margot Cafe, but it was cloased during luch so we walked over to Marche. Man, was I surprised with this cafe. It totally reminded me of many cafes in LA. I love the fact that you can walk in and order your food from the line or sit and be taken care of by the waiter. The service was awesome! All of the staff were friendly and made me feel just at home. The decor is very inviting. It feels like a perfect brunch spot for the warm weather. The whole decor is very refreshing. Oh, the food, the food is pretty good. It's definitely the best of East Nashville. The menu isn't that big, but it's good for small cafe of this size. Like what Michael N. said, the acoustic can be loud per the decor is a bit open and the sound reverberates b/c there's nothing to really absorb the sound. This place isn't a cafe for you to sit and study, but a place to enjoy some good food (brunch is my recommendation) and cool off from the hot humid weather.

Marche has been a long time favorite of my family and myself. Even to the extent of having my wedding reception there. Their food is artfully crafted and incredibly fresh, not to mention tasty. I would highly suggest stopping by and giving them a try.

Erich Z.

A tasty handcrafted breakfast for a price that's about half what I have paid for similar meals. The french toast was a bit overly sweet, but perfectly done, and the coffee was delicious. This is less the greasy spoon and more a French/American fusion, but at a greasy spoon price.

Jena G.

We had brunch at Marche around 12:30 on a Sunday (Table for 3, one child). The GOOD: Wait: 4/5 -- We were quoted a 30min wait but were seated in 10 min. Food: 5/5 -- Really, this is the best brunch in Nashville. Value: 5/5 -- Not much on the menu over $10 makes this a bargain! Veggie-friendly: 5/5 -- Lots of veggie options available. Kid-friendly: 4/5 -- Booster available. Food: Half orders of French Toast ($4) and PB&J ($3) on the menu. No room for strollers, leave them in the car! The BAD: Service: 2/5 -- Our water was poured right away, but it took our server 15 min to take our drink order (we ordered our food then, too). Another 20 min for our drinks to come, after flagging down our server to remind him (His response -- not apologetic -- "Those I forgot") His only saving grace was that he brought out our daughter's food first. After that, things went smoothly. Cleanliness: 3/5 -- The bathroom's waste bin was overflowing. They re-sat the table behind us without sweeping the obviously wet and crumbified floor left by a cranky toddler.

After driving around the same square for about fifteen minutes, my boyfriend and I decided that Marche seemed like a great place to grab lunch. I'm not sure if it was the lunch menu as this place has lots of great reviews but neither one of us was impressed. The tall glass windows gave us a great view but left the dining area pretty chilly. The waiter seemed attentive yet un-attentive at the same time. For the meal, I had the egg salad sandwich and he had the brioche tart. Maybe it was just an off day but we were both underwhelmed. I'm not sure but next time I'm in Nashville, I don't think this establishment is worth a repeat visit.

Having been a regular at this restaurant I am always amazed when I think the food cant get any better and it does. The other night I had a chicken dish that sat on top of a lovely salad and covering all of it grilled delicious peaches. it was amazing

I'm an easy Mark for a 5-star review. Hit the hot-spots of a dining experience, and I'll rave. I loved my experience at MarchÃ©. Over Thanksgiving, 2008, I flew in from LA, my former roommate flew in from NYC and we met up with a Nashville pal we knew in New York. Ambiance - 5 stars. Staff/Greeting - 5 stars. Short wait in a crowded restaurant - 5 stars. Server - 5 stars. Food - priceless. It's not expensive, and the food was great. We all started with the roasted cauliflower soup. M. had the gnocchi - truly the best I've tasted (we all tasted and Loved it), and I've eaten more than my share of Italian food. B. had the quiche - Gouda cheese!! - delicious. I had the crepes - really nice flavours and a lovely bechemel. M. finished with the (chocolate! what?) bread pudding. B. & I finished with the artisan cheese plate. It was a perfect ending. We were there for some time, catching up, drinking nice coffee, blood orange mimosi - never pressured or hurried along. The brunch menu was photocopied, so I folded & pocketed one - already a recommendation to some Nashvillians. I'll return!

I went to Marche so much when it opened that i got a little burnt-out for a while. Lately, I have been back a few times and have found that it is even better than when they first opened. I have been going for lunch during the week, and an occasional brunch (and would still like to try dinner). The fall and winter specials have been fantastic: namely, I could bathe in the spicy pumpkin soup, and asked my waitress for "a gallon" of it to go- alas, she could only provide a quart... :) The beef stroganoff with spaetzle, and the smoked trout salad were both surprisingly good. I also really appreciate that they started brewing their own (delicious) iced tea with free refills, rather than the bottled stuff they used to serve.

I love this place! The service isn't always the best, but it's one of the best places to eat brunch or lunch in Nashville, TN, a place lacking in great restaurants. Plus, almost every time I go there I see Jack White.

Maddie S.

I loved MarchÃ©. I went earlier this week for breakfast and ordered the Scrambled Egg Hash with smoked salmon, red potatoes and green onions. It was delicious. I also ordered a Pomegranate Mimosa. Both were delectable. I wish the hash had had more potatoes, but I'm not complaining. I went with four friends and each person got something different and thoroughly enjoyed his/her platter. I can't wait to go back to try out lunch, brunch and dinner!

yay for their little desserts. hand made, had a WONDERFUL maple whoopie pie type thing. it was like two small cookies (crisp) with the maple flavor, and rhubarb on the inside. so freaking good. SO GOOD. their home made milano type cookie was also very good, with a delightful buttery taste. The olive sinclair chocolate gets a big thumbs up, as well as the cakes in the display. can't wait to go here again, a must stop for nashville travelers!

This place is GREAT. I've had brunch many times and dinner once (with a group from work). The food is fresh and local and very high quality. Always a small menu (small in a good, fresh, "hey - there's a chef" kinda way). The value is incredible when you consider the creativity and freshness. I'll be back again and again.

F. S.

this is by far one of my favorite restaurants in Nashville. The food is always fresh and the service is very friendly. Also a favorite is it's sister restaurant, Margot, which I especially love because of the ever changing menu! you won't go wrong with either one!
(5)
Ian R.

The little sibling of the highly acclaimed Margot Cafe. Much more casual, but with no compromise in the quality of the food. One of the most popular brunch spots in Nashville, so if you are coming on the weekend either show up early or plan to spend most of the morning. The menu rotates regularly, but I have never been disappointed. Also, treat yourself to a mimosa if they have one on special. Fresh juice and champagne will make you feel like you are across the street from the Louvre instead of across from Hunter's automotive.

Wayne H.

This is a really nice cafe to sit and enjoy a leisurely brunch, or in our case research all the other things we should do in Nashville during our weekend trip. Our waitress was friendly and gave us excellent suggestions for things to do. We had the croissant french toast and the quiche. The food was quite good. What a great place to kick off our weekend in Nashville.

As a vegan, I do not go to brunch at non-veg establishments simply because there is never anything for me to eat. But due to my omnivore friend and husband, I found myself tagging along for brunch at Marche during a recent trip to Nashville. I was almost doing cartwheels over a triple-salad menu option that involved vegan potato salad, bulgur stuffed avocado, and some other delicious salad item that I now can't recall. Our meal was AWESOME and the service was great. The mimosas here are fantastic as is the ambiance. Come early, though...this place gets PACKED and has a line out the door.

Marche is probably the best breakfast place on the east side of Nashville. The crÃªpes are very good, I do not know if they are always on the menu or if they were just a special that day, but they were to die for. Marche's coffee wins a prize for taste and presentation. It is really fine and not too bitter, plus it comes in these really cool bowl cup things. It is not often that I am in East Nashville in the mornings, but I think this is a good place to take a detour from, if your are getting bored with the other offerings in the city.

Marche made the perfect ending to a rainy trip to Nashville. It was just down the road from the studio I was working in, so one rainy Sunday morning, I strolled down, treated myself to a rhubarb mimosa and a crepe. And not just any crepe, but a ham stuffed crepe with ricotta cheese bulging out the seems and asparagus throughout, dowsed in a creamy tomato sauce. This was heaven on a plate! Elegant and simple, but with a menagerie of flavors for my lonely palate on a rainy Nashville morning. I did feel a little odd being the only person there who came to eat by myself as there was a huge line and I had a whole table all to myself, but what can you do, good food takes its time, so me, my book, and a wonderful rhubarb mimosa, settled into our table by the window and indulged ourselves in some good eats... that may just be all the company I need!

Maggie H.

Went to Nashville this past weekend, and looked to my fellow Yelpers for some brunch help. They did not disappoint, Marche was the perfect choice. The whole atmosphere was fun and friendly and the food was great. Apparently this is the place to brunch on Sundays, so we did have to wait about an hour, but you can get coffee, look around and hang out outside while you wait. They also have a little shopping area in the front of the restaurant where they sell local products and food. The menu is pretty limited, but all the choices looked great. They had a fun drink menu (prosecco punch, blood orange bellini, etc.) and the coffee was also pretty good. If you're in Nashville, I would definitely come here for brunch.

Lauren A.

this is hands down my favorite place for brunch in Nashville. The menu changes with the seasons, the food is always well thought out and interesting, the coffee is great, and so is the price. The only downfall is that apparently everyone agrees because when it first opened, you barely had to wait... now you may have to wait for 45 minutes on a Sunday... and the waiting area is not very big. I've actually learned that you have a better shot at getting in at Margot down the street on a Sunday than Marche... which is odd because Margot has a much quieter atmosphere and basically the same menu. I've only eaten at Marche once for lunch and it really good. I need to try it for dinner sometime.
(5)
Brad H.

The food is incredible. Only tried dinner once, but it's my favorite breakfast/brunch in Nashville. You never know what you're gonna stumble across. The only downside is it can be a wait during late morning brunch on weekends. But nothing horrible.

I wish this restaurant was closer to my apartment!! We had brunch there on Sat morning during the craziness of the East Nasty Tomato Festival. It was crowded but the staff was very friendly and the food was wonderful. I loved everything about this place and can't wait to go back. They serve Drew's Coffee, Mighty Leaf Tea. I had a cup of coffee, a fresh croissant, and the caprese salad. Yum! My boyfriend enjoyed the omelet and chocolate croissant. All the other food that we saw looked delicious, I can't wait to go back!

I'm not familiar with the area, but my brother and his wife tend to find good places to eat. I think it's in our familys' genetics. Marche is definitely good, but I thought it was pricey for what you got. I'm used to getting a good mix of breakfast food for $10 and all you get is a main dish without the extras. I got an omlette, but no bread, homefries, fruit, and so on. My cheapness aside, the omlette was quality.

Paul H.

Wonderful Sunday brunch spot, with a bright and open seating area. Interesting crowd that mixes East Nashville's hippest with Green Hill's Ladies who lunch. I started my meal with a cucumber-sake bloody Mary. It was outstanding, and the use of sake in place of vodka really helped the cucumber and lime shine through - making it very refreshing. The menu is pretty straightforward, with lots of interesting small plate options and larger entrees ranging from $3 - $9. I had the smoked salmon with capers, red onion and mascarpone cheese on rye. The use of mascarpone was another interesting take on this classic. I had zero complaints about my meal and cannot wait to go back for more.

Having dined here countless times, I can easily confirm Marche's excellence in every department. Vibe is European bistro, better for daytime lunching or breakfasting. (if you want a cozy intimate dinner, go down the street to its sister restaurant Margot.) Menu changes monthly, so the focus is on seasonal, local, and organic cuisine. There are options for everyone, and plenty for vegetarians. The menu is well balanced with market salads, soups, small plates, and heartier entrees. Desserts should not skipped here, and should be grabbed from the dessert counter up front when you're on the go (think brandied cherry souffle, butternut squash tarts, cocoa ginger snaps, ganache bundt cake... yum). They serve tasty Drew's coffee and have an excellent selection of teas. The wine list is small but competent. The prices are extremely reasonably for the high quality of the food. Savory seafood stew with clams, cod, chorizo, and mussels goes for $16, same price for a dried-fruit stuffed pork over creamy grits and sauteed spinach. Brunch is very popular here, as are the occasional wine tastings (hook up with Woodland Wine Merchant's email list for updates). Staff is efficient and very knowledgeable. The front of the restaurant sells European boutique foodie items, and the dining room is surrounded by large windows looking out to Gallatin St (not glitzy, granted, but the interior is so lovely). Go, go, go, if you have not already.

the food and the atmosphere is consistently amazing at marche! if you're looking for a great place to have brunch on sunday, then visit marche. have a pomegranate mimosa with your brie and apple honey glazed toast and you will leave a very happy camper.

Came here on a road trip through Nashville. Fresh, lovely food in a spacious, sunny cafe, and cheap! I got the BLT with avocado and my sister the tuna nicoise. These are our staple dishes, and we thought they did our tried-and-true favorites exceptionally well. We also enjoyed the drinks: blood orange mimosa and summer sangria. The blackberry panna cotta was good but not amazing. We expected the panna cotta to have more of a blackberry flavor, but it did have big, fresh, yummy blackberries in it. We got some cookies to go. We loved the PB&J, the tangerine shortbread dipped in ganache, and the pecan chocolate chip cookies.

katie l.

marche is fresh, creative, and a great value. our meal was both delicious and well priced. we had the flatbread with taleggio, prosciutto, arugula and figs (big enough for an entree, or split between multiple people) and the duck pate as appetizers, and the quail and farro entrees. i would recommend everything. our server was very thoughtful and pleasant, and he suggested a great dessert--the butternut squash tart with oatmeal crust and cinnamon whipped cream. we ended up with more food than we could finish (and took some home) but an extremely reasonable bill. the atmosphere was relaxed but classy. this was definitely the best place i have been in nashville thus far and i can't wait to go back!

[November 2009] This was our first stop during our trip to Nashville, as my sister is a new transplant there and she lives about 10 blocks from Marche. The ambiance is cool, mixed with their cafe/gourmet foods area. I love the open space and big windows. It seems the cool kids of Nashville are there, and some cool parents. I had the smoked trout salad with fennel - wow. Good stuff. Everyone else had pretty good food, bolognase, a open faced sandwich... one mark of good food is their bread plate. It is beyond me why they would charge $4 for cold, untoasted unstellar bread, except for the fact that they serve it with a few nice spreads. If they work on their bread selection, I would definitely give them 5 stars for a great casual dining spot.

Michael N.

You really can't go wrong with Marche. I like to go at off peak times the acoustics can be a bit overwhelming. In the SF Bay Area they started giving sound ratings for restaurants, Yelp needs to add this also. I would have given 5 starts except for the acoustics and the tables are on the small side. The food and service is great!

Peter M.

This place is part artisan deli/grocer and part casual dining. The deli has a range of ready-to-eat soups, sides, and even whole meals to go, and that menu looks great. However, I was there for the brunch (they recently added dinner Tues thru Fri). This chef loves polenta, and that is fine by me! The coffee was great, tasted just like the French press coffee I've had next door at the chef's other restaurant, Margo Cafe. The bloody mary, with cumcumber sake, was the best I've had. My entree was poached eggs over palenta with parmesan and a tomato sauce... looked like pasta for breakfast, but was light and delicious. Also had a polenta biscuit, which was great,,, classic example of using good ingredients in a simple but creative way. Fresh fruit was a perfect end. The menu is full of smallish plates and sides which was great... I hate trying to decide what to order at a brunch and this way I got to try a lot of stuff. The atmosphere was cool; very sunny space with little cafe tables and big farm tables and a low key, eclectic crowd.

Marche is the first meal out I had in Nashville, it set the bar high for my other experience here. I always come here and get exactly what I was in the mood for, even when I had no clue exactly what that was going into it. The longest wait I ever had was 20 min, which is nothing. You can stare at their pastry counter, it'll take a solid 15 minutes to get your gluttoned jaw peeled off the floor. When you look at the menu, you could go in blindfolded and come out on top. The prices are very reasonable, so treat your friend!

Jeremy C.

amazing service from the minute we walked in the door on a busy Tuesday during lunch hour. our waitress, celia, was attentive, friendly, and took excellent care of us. plus she had the biggest smile i think i'd ever seen. we felt right at home. As a vegan, the quinoa salad totally hit the spot for me. My wife had what she says was the best tuna niÃ§oise salad she's ever eaten in her life. We'd always wanted to visit this place when we lived in Nashville, and finally got around to it the day we sold our house there. When we go back to visit friends and family, MarchÃ© will definitely be on our list of places to dine.
(5)
Eve P.

Such an adorable cafe - feels unpretentious and elegant at the same time. The menu changes and it's clear they use all very fresh ingredients in everything. Our service was wonderful - we got just enough attention. I had a plate of homemade pasta and a great glass of wine...and they brought out bread to the table in a big charming basket - such a nice touch. The only reason for 4 stars and not 5 was that the pasta could've used just a little more flavor and a tad less oil....maybe some parmesan or something to make it really stand out - I found myself reaching for the salt and pepper. That said, this would be a regular place for me if I lived in Nashville.

I was visiting Nashville for a family reunion a few weeks ago, and a smaller group of us wanted to break away from the crowd for a nice breakfast. I fired up Yelp and saw that there were several highly rated breakfast places in this area. We saw Marche before we made it to one of the other places from Yelp, and we decided to stop in. My mom, her boyfriend and I all thought it looked nice from the outside. I think my bro was sold when he saw a few young ladies in rainboots near the windows. The coffee... was A+. They actually served our latte's in small bowls. Even their drip was delicious. The food... was delicious. We each had something different, and then we shared a plate of the French toast. The service... was friendly and our waitress didn't seem to mind that we kept nagging her with different requests instead of rolling them into one trip to the table. We had lunch the next day at Margot Cafe around the corner, and I actually preferred our meal at Marche.

MarchÃ© caters to adventurous foodies. You won't need to order off the menu to be delighted. I was pleased to find paella on the menu, since I have been falling in love with this rive dish of late.

We were in town for the weekend and this place was recommended by multiple people. It also happened to be the Tomato Arts Fest, so many of the dishes were tomato themed. It was delicious and the service was very friendly and laid back. I would definitely go back!

Lisa V.

Sometimes the food is outstanding, sometimes it's just good...with an ever-changing menu; your bound to find something you just LOVE eventually.. I'm a fan of the ambience...I get the feeling I'm in someone's kitchen. LOVE their house-made granola...try it with yogurt and fruit...it's very addictive! Every salad I've ever had there is perfect, also. I love the fact that in my neighborhood, I have a place to go for fresh-baked breads and pastries. I have to have a couple of the walnut meringue cookes each week and of course, I keep the granola on hand always. In our neighborhood, we like for you to remember us AND have a smile on your face. I enjoy the restaurant and hope that it's in our neighborhood for a long time...it truly is a neighborhood gem.

A must for brunch in Nashville! My family arrived for brunch at MarchÃ© on a Saturday morning around 10:00 am. At that time it was a 25 minute wait but continued to become even busier by the time we were finished. Due to our extreme hunger, we decided to follow those in the know and order something from the coffee/take out counter while we waited. We opted for the bread basket which comes with four different spreads--nutella, jam, honey, & butter. I only wish the bread had been softer. At our table, I ordered the market salad and housemade granola with vanilla yogurt. Both were delicious, but the the granola was probably the best I have had! I loved the overall decor and ambiance of the place. As others have noted, the layout is a bit tight, especially in the waiting are. I think there is only one bench in that area. If it is crowded, expect to be on your feet and have servers dodging around you while waiting for your table. Unless you have restless children, I would highly recommend waiting it out for a table and a delicious meal.

I will be moving into Nashville soon and I heard a lot about E. Nashville. While driving around trying to find places to live, I stumbled up on this nice nugget. Reminiscent of most Parisian restaurants (what with the menu chalked on a blackboard and roomy French windows overlooking the...well desolate streets) and hippie-esque waiters, I was captivated by this tiny gem. The food was great, with decent choices for ovo-lacto vegetarians and the coffee good. Their choices of desserts and breads was really worth the 15 minute wait.

Marche Artisan foods was a great little find at the end of a great weekend in Nashville. I was in town for a show, and wanted to grab a good breakfast and cup of latte on my way out of town. I loved it, when I walked in. I felt like I'd walked into a French cafÃ©. Marche is full of the sights, sounds, and smells you'd find in a small - off-the-beaten-path cafÃ© somewhere in Provence. I people, groceries, and furnishings were all perfect. Where Marche fell down was with their delivery. The latte was more like a cappuccino (sorry there is a difference), and the omelet was overcooked. The bread and accompanying spread were superb.

Theda S.

Who says brunch is just for Saturday and Sundays. At March'e Artisan Foods you can have brunch every day. Smack dab in the middle of 5 Points gentrification this French bistro serves quality local ingredients in a friendly airy atmosphere. The Blood Orange mimosa is their most popular but if you prefer a dryer champagne cocktail, order the Pomegranate Mimosa instead, it has just the right amount of sweetness without overpowering the taste of the bubbly.

Caroline L.

Holy croissant, this place is good! You never know what you're going to get at brunch places with "artisan" in the title... but Michelangelo himself would cry over the ciabatta bread and cheese plate I had at Sunday brunch. Also some of the best bacon I've ever had. Flavorful, meaty, and perfectly cooked. The food is high quality and the prices aren't bad. Plus, they have a full bar, so load up on the mimosas and bloody marys. The atmosphere is laid back but hip enough to charm the after-church crowd. Not at all the pretentious, money gouging, prissy place I was expecting.

Michelle M.

I came here for brunch and cannot wait to return. The environment is so bright and airy. The food was delicious. I had the smoked salmon sandwich, and I recommend it. The mimosas were another nice touch. Everything about this place is lovely: the prices, the food, the service. Marche gets zero complaints from this lady!

A meal at the European-style MarchÃ© is worth the wait. My teenage daughter and I beamed at each other from across the communal table as we devoured croissant French toast, multi-grain toast with ricotta cheese and fresh peaches, sage sausage, and decent tea. Service was impeccable despite the Father's Day crowds. Make your wait less painful by ordering an artisan drink from the walk-up counter...

Tiffany C.

Not knowing what to expect in Nashville, I was pleasantly surprised by this place. My friends and I went to dinner here last week and I thought what I ordered (House Made Pappardelle with Lamb Ragu, Mushrooms, Parmesan, Fresh Oregano) was really good! It really hit the spot and I cleaned out my plate. My friends equally enjoyed their food and I tried the beef brisket and it was pretty awesome. We also ordered their honey carrot cake and that was divine! If you like carrot cake, you have to try this!! They also have some type of warm spiced wine that was really good! It was almost like juice. Could be an issue if you're a light weight drinker cuz you'll never know what hit you! The location is kind of off the beaten path and I probably would of never found this place if someone hadn't taken us there but it was worth it. There isn't anything "special" about this place, i.e. southern food or BBQ but this place just has good food in general. Try it out if you get the chance!

Anne B.

My fiance and I went here last weekend and we had the BEST breakfast. We had never been before and we loved the restaurant itself. All of the staff were very nice, friendly and helpful. We started off with the blood orange mimosas which were delicious! I ordered the croissant french toast which was amazing and my fiance ordered the crepes. We have nothing but great things to say about this place, and it would definitely be 1st on the list the next time we are in Nashville.

Jennifer N.

This is a Nashville treasure. EVERY time I eat here I am impressed and leave feeling absolutely delighted. Most of the time, we eat brunch here, and my husband adores the croissant french toast. This is a decadent treat that is sinfully awesome--rich, buttery and well flavored, not just overly sweet. Prepare for a post brunch carb crash! I have tried nearly every egg dish- and the varying crepe selections are always exceptional. Another recent favorite was a creamy polenta with eggs served on top. They also make an excellent croque madame. The sake bloody mary is a wonderful complement- get one early to shorten the wait if there is a crowd. Dinner and lunch selections are also amazing- mostly local ingredients make for wonderful, seasonal and rotating menus. A standout on the fall/winter dessert menu is a butternut squash tart with an oat shortbread crust and cinnamon whipped cream. Truly divine! The staff is always helpful and friendly- I applaud them for their knowledge and unpretentious demeanor. The atmosphere during a hectic Saturday or Sunday morning brunch rush can be loud and rushed, so go early to really enjoy a few moments more at your farmhouse table with a huge cup of delicous coffee.

Elle A.

Maybe I've just gotten over it, but Marche has become pretty average and overpriced for me as of late. I usually go for lunch, but I would like to see a little more variety with their small menu. I hate to complain about small businesses, but it shouldn't take well over an hour to get lunch... especially on "off hours" - we were there around 1:30. Addtionally, I had to send my food back twice. I've worked in the service industry and this is something I rarely do. The server even mentioned that what I'd ordered had been sent back several times that day. Hmm... maybe someone else needs to take over the kitchen for the afternoon? Just a thought. Our meal (that we never ate) was comped so I definately appreciate that, but my 2 hours spent there I will not get back. Being that it's in my neighborhood, I will be willing to try again but only when a new menu rolls around. Sorry y'all...

Good Sunday brunch (that's what this review is about), but I don't get the hype. They are trying to have interesting flavors, but execution isn't there yet. Very noisy, too.

Me M.

Excellent food. We both had cheese grits, scrambled eggs (best i've ever had), and bacon, with shared half order of french toast (delish!). Good coffee too. Only negative is that it is very loud. However, we'd still dine here again.

Sara N.

This is absolutely hands down my favorite restaurant.... not just in Nashville. I use this as the standard to compare any restaurant I visit in any city. The brunch on the weekends is packed to the gills but so worth the wait. In fact , I even ordered my Thanksgiving dinner from here.
(5)
Caesar R.

The GF picked this one and what a great pick it was! The place was packed and tons of people waiting while we only had a 5 minute wait. The service was super friendly and laid back, but not in a negative way. The place has offerings that were creative and delicious. We each had a sake bloody mary with cucumber garnish. Also, we had the bacon, ricotta, swiss shard crepe with a mushroom sauce and the sausage gravy with two sunny side eggs on a polenta biscuit. Everything was delicious. The place also has a mini gourmet market with artisanal offerings from local producers and other gourmet offerings from all over. Expect a wait on the weekends if you are brunching. But it is definitely worth the wait.

Amie S.

This is an abso-tively lovely restaurant with some really incredible fresh, seasonal, mouthwatering dishes that will bring joy to your lips! Marche's menu changes with the seasons, and features locavorious goodies like organic breads, local produce, and farm fresh eggs. We ventured in for brunch, and every single thing I tried was amazing, including vanilla yogurt that almost made me yelp (out loud) with delight. I highly recommend the egg dish with ratatouille (that's right, it's not just a Disney movie). The space is open and airy, with floor-to-ceiling windows bringing in lots of light. There's plenty of room for big gatherings as well as some cozy corners for a more intimate experience. If you're up for a chance to mingle with a bigger crowd, they also host wine tastings, slow food dinners, and other events. You can have them cater your own private events, too. While you wait in line (plan on it), you can check out the shelves of gourmet and artisan food items that make Marche, well...a marche (that's "freedom" talk for market). I'm also thrilled to know you can pick up prepared food here. It's all about reheating some gourmet Marche entrees and impressing the dinner guests! Devious? Maybe. Delicious? Definitely.

Anna A.

Let me start my rating with a caveat. I am an unassuming hole in the wall kind of gal when it comes to food. That's not to say I can't appreciate fine dining or ambiance but I find most mid priced places with pretty wrapping to be well, overrated. Marche pretty much lives up to that stereo type thus far. The tables are pretty, the staff all wears the same clothes,the plates all match and the dishes offer up ingredients that I wouldn't have expected but that's as good as it gets. Each time I go, I think to myself, it's smells good in here and I really do feel like I must be important to be eating in such a fine looking place. Alas the food comes and I am always underwhelmed. It's all just blah with a side of ho hum, smothered in bland. The problem is that if I am going to be paying $9 for a lunch item, I want it to be you know the high light of my day. If it was under $5 I would be saying to myself, "my that wasn't very exciting, but hey the price was right." Instead I end up saying to myself "what the F***?!?" My opinion may not be a popular one as I personally think this place totally wins on peer pressure alone and by virtue of the fact that it's sister restaurant, Margot, is one of the better restaurants in Nashville. I personally suggest you skip a few lunches at Marche, eat some microwave lunches, and invest your saved cash in to an upgraded meal at Margot.
