About This Place

Located in the vibrant Farmers Market at The Grove, Monsieur Marcel Gourmet Market, Bistro & Seafood Market is a sophisticated yet inviting destination for lovers of authentic French cuisine and gourmet delights. This unique establishment seamlessly blends the charm of a classic French bistro with the allure of a world-class market, offering an immersive experience for both diners and shoppers alike.

The bistro captures the essence of Parisian street-side dining with its warm atmosphere, impeccable service, and carefully curated menu. Guests rave about the exquisite fondue, a rich and silky celebration of melted cheeses that exemplifies comfort and indulgence. The menu is filled with traditional French dishes that evoke a deep sense of place—the kind that calls to mind lively cafés lining cobblestone streets. Every bite is a sensory journey, from the delicate flavors of fresh seafood to the melt-in-your-mouth desserts that invite you to savor the moment.

The dining experience is elevated by attentive and knowledgeable staff, like Nyko and the Parisian waitress mentioned by patrons, who bring authenticity and passion to the table. Their welcoming presence transforms each visit into more than just a meal—it becomes an engaging cultural exchange, enriched by personal stories and thoughtful recommendations.

Connected to the bistro but standing proudly on its own, the gourmet market is a treasure trove of fine French and European imports. Visitors delight in browsing an exceptional selection of cheeses, artisanal breads, and fresh seafood that is as pristine as it is abundant. The market is more than a shopping destination; it’s a place for discovery, where one can find rare delicacies and sample quality products that bring the spirit of France home.

For those seeking a taste of France in Los Angeles, Monsieur Marcel offers not just a meal or a shopping trip, but a heartfelt experience filled with flavor, warmth, and genuine charm. Whether dining amid the lively energy of the market or selecting gourmet essentials for your kitchen, this beloved French staple invites you to indulge your senses and immerse yourself in la vie française.

    Monsieur Marcel is a French staple in LA! The bistro is my favorite place to dine in the Farmers Market at The Grove. The service is always great and when visiting on Sunday I had THE BEST service from our waitress who was from Paris. She even shared with us a list of her favorite places to visit in Paris… who does that?! The market is separate from the bistro and it has some great finds but the service isn’t nearly as spectacular as the bistro. My friends and I felt very uncomfortable by how much the staff at the market rushed us out because they were all antsy to close at 8pm. Sorry we were spending almost $200 on 5-6 items… we know it’s super inconvenient for you. They’re definitely nicer so long as it’s not near the time they are closing but not stellar like the staff at the bistro!

    More than just a place to eat. This place isn't just a bistro: it's part of a larger gourmet market, so you can enjoy fine cheeses, wines, and imported European specialties. One of my favorite French bistros in LA.

    We had a delicious lunch and some dessert after a day of shopping at Monsieur Marcel French bistro. There’s a shop attached to the cafe as well. It was great to sit and have food while people watching at the market.

    The bistro transports you to the streets of Paris with amazing food, vibes, and service. The menu is authentic and offers lots of delicious French dishes. The market has so many items and is interesting to just browse around. Also the seafood is super fresh and delicious. The staff are all very friendly and helpful.

    We took my mother in law here for the first time. We had just visited France and she had high expectations for the Beef bourguignon. We both enjoyed the texture of the meat but felt the noodles were an interesting choice and were difficult to pick up. She said she would have preferred polenta.The broth seemed to have very limited burgundy wine but still nice. My partner loved his streak frites and said it was cooked perfectly. The crème brûlée was nice and a good size. It did seem odd dogs were allowed in the interior dining area as it was a very small space. A large dog was laying in the exit area next to us just as we were about to sign bill making it awkward for everyone.

    Stopped by the Farmers Market for a bite and saw Monsieur Marcel which I haven't been to in a long time. They have expanded and now for dining, have a little covered alcove, a lot of outside (but covered tables and a bar area with seating. We were seated right away. The staff is very friendly and helpful (and French). It has a nice French feel to the space and you can image this in Paris. Or LA, as it is in the middle of the market. We ordered a baguette (with French butter) and two entrées. The beef bourguignon and the steak frites, both so French! The bourguignon was served with pappardelle noodles. The steak was a rib eye with shoestring frites (I prefer the thicker more traditional frites) with peppercorn sauce. Along with a couple of glasses of the house red blend (generous puors too). The winner was the bourguignon. Very tasty, tender meat and well seasoned. It fit well with the pappardelle noodles too. A great sauce for the bread. The steak frites, while tender, was not the best I have had. It could have had a little more seasoning. But I would certainly try it again (another note for thicker frites too). For desert we had the chocolate mousse. Very chocolaty and served with whipped cream (Chantilly?) on top. All in all a most enjoyable meal in a wonderful location. The servers were all helpful and we were never rushed at all. We of course had to go into their gourmet market afterwords for some additional French treats!

    Found this gem while visiting from Miami and absolutely loved it from the moment when we walked in. The main host Chris was so helpful and accommodating. He was the highlight of our dining experience. He sat us at a lovely spot at the bar so we can sip on some bubbles and people watch. He brought so much professionalism when we asked him questions and he knew the menu and wine selection better than any place I’ve been to. Thank you for having wonderful people to care about the experience we got to enjoy. Food, wine, and even the market were wonderful.
