Editorial Review
Tell me who would not want to enjoy a meal with a backdrop setting that is set to look like a cross between a ranch farm in the Alps and a seasonal farmers' market? Aside for their cozy atmosphere, Marche has made their mark worldwide due to their emphasis on Homemade produces and exquisite attention to the preparation of their food, which ultimately effects the overall quality of food and service at Marche. The most impressive part of their 1.132 meters square setting will have to be their open kitchen system wherein customers can see how their food is grilled, tossed, fried, baked and prepared. Simply exhilirating!
At Marche there are several European foods to choose from, mind you there are no menus here, so if you want to know what they are serving you need to walk around and try to figure out what to choose from an array of choices on display such as pastas, pizza, rotisserie, fresh grilled seafood and of course their stunning dessert section. The attractive display of fresh lemons, potatoes and vegetables and also fresh seafood such as red snapper, sea bass, butter fish, salmon and king prawns are all very enticing.
But the star dish at Marche that can surely be enjoyed by anyone on any day of the week, will have to be the Rosti. A dish mainly containing thinly sliced potatoes and enjoyed for breakfast in Switzerland is just the perfect dish. The potatoes are pan fried carefully like an omelette/pancake and is slightly crunchy on the outside and almost mushy on the inside makes the Rosti the ultimate comfort food.
If you want something carb free to start your meal, we suggest you take a visit to their vegetable/salad stand. Have your vegetables stir fried in front of you or have them fresh, with your choice of vegetables and then hand them over to the friendly standby chef who will then toss it over for you with your choice of dressing whether it be Italian, creamy or Caesar. The prefect freshly made salad!
Also, do not forget to stop by their Pasta stand, to create the ultimate yummy pasta dish of your own. For you will get to choose among their homemade wheat noodles in all shapes and forms and have them cooked in your favourite sauce whether it be the spicy aglio olia, or the rich and creamy carbonara or the fresh marinara sauce.
Their Rotisserie of homemade sausages, chicken roast, chicken wings and of course their gorgeous mashed potatoes seem to be the favourites here among their customers and is a definite must try.
At the end of your meal, we can assure you that you will most definitely be full and satisfied. But whatever the case you cannot miss their Dessert stand, so do try and make room for that. Their most impressive display of pies, cakes, strudels, ice cream, puddings and fresh breads are baked fresh everyday. The one dessert that has people coming back for more is their Bee sting dessert, which has a caramelised, crunchy almond on the top and sandwiched in the middle is the best rich vanilla custard that one foodie can ever ask for!
With their pleasant settings and delicious array of foods and desserts it will come as no surprise that Marche has over 80 restaurants and 13 franchised operations all over the world. It simply is the best thing to come out of Switzerland since, Emmental Cheese and the Swiss Army Knife.
Many months ago, they serve Movenpick ice cream; now they serve local made ice cream and lousy because the freezer was not cold enough. The icre cream was just horrible.
The place do not have enough air conditioning because it was a bit warm for me.
The staffs were friendly but I don't like when the staffs scream pretending like it was in a Swiss market. I got enough headache from the office and went to eat peacefully but instead I had to hear all these loud annoying screaming from staffs. Just not a good day to eat at Marche.
Good good. Just have to east quickly when the place was warm and the staffs start to yell and scream...
