Marché (181 Bay Street - Brookfield Place)


Marche (Movenpick) has always been known for their exciting and unique live market approach to food. After a stint being under the Richtree brand, the location at Brookfield Place has re-opened and in my opinion is better than ever in terms of amazing atmosphere. They've went overboard improving the whole space - it's really something to see and experience.

I used to go to their location at College Park (now a Richtree) for my morning coffee and berry muffin (fresh baked in store from scratch), so I thought I'd grab an espresso at the new flagship location.

Though a bit pricey ($3.29+ tx) for a double, the coffee was pretty tasty. I know that they are obsessive about their quality here, so they only use fair trade Arabica beans. The mini espresso cup was pretty unique too!

Since they have an in-house bakery directly across from the cafe this makes for a great visit as you can pick up a freshly made treat to go with your coffee. There are just too many delicious things to choose from!

Next time I'm going back for the food first :)

  1. Hi Matthew

    Thanks a lot for your nice comment. We are very happy you liked it. Just for info, Richtree is a Canadian company and Marche a Swiss one (nothing to do which each other, but I know its a bit complicate :). However, I liked your comment and therefore let me know, when are next time in the store at Brookfield Place. I would be happy to give you one of this unique little green expresso cups if you like.
