Had a very nice time here. My friend and I shared the large charcuterie board. We tried three wines and two digestifs. Grace, our server, was welcoming and friendly and knew the menu well. Really nice patio atmosphere.

Les Marchand is the perfect spot for a casual lunch or dinner. They have a great menu with a nice variety of dishes from chicken and waffles to shakshouka, all very well prepared and presented. Add to this a great wine list and you have the recipe for a great dining experience.

Everything we ate was fresh, vibrant, well prepared and delicious...from the farmers plate appetizers to the pour over coffee. Service was attentive. Atmosphere was fun. I definitely want to come back.

Bad service. The girl at the front counter was very rude. You have to order for yourself and then set your own table. The metal glasses were dirty and water tasted horrible. Food was ok.

Fabulous brunch. Ambience with outdoor and indoor seatings Delicious food and a seasonal menu. Tagliatelle on the dinner menu is fab but we often have to order two when ordering family style Great events like Pride brunch with a DJ and drag queens Fabulous hosts Sofia and Sarah - super helpful and went out of their way to help us with directions and also handled a supper busy event with grace and smiles. Book in advance for events. Supporting Local talent in music like Noah to Tina S crooner nights. Way to go LM

Came here for the charcuterie but got amazing service and fun as well! Isabelle (I hope I spelled your name right!) gave my boyfriend and I some tips about the area since we like to try out multiple spots in one city. We got a great orange wine she recommended and even sent the manager over to give us more extensive information. We went with her original natural orange wine rec, a wine from Thessaly, Greece. It was phenomal. She also got us a very prime charcuterie board and helped us get it just to our liking. Thank you Isabelle (sorry if the spelling is wrong, again..)- we will bring our parents back next time. To the rest of the restaurant: very cool under pressure and very hospitable!

Cute little wine shop offering delicious food and gracious hospitality. We had a wonderful dinner. Our server, Grace, had spot-on recommendations for wine. So much so that we returned a day later to purchase 2 bottles of her suggestion. We will be back.

I had friends visiting from out of town, and brought them to Les Marchands for some delicious wine and cheese plates! Grace was our server and was so kind and extremely helpful in choosing delicious wine. The cheese plate was the perfect afternoon treat, along with their olives.. wow!! My friends were so happy with the cute patio and the great food & wine.

I was disappointed at this place. It barely had any gluten free options. I went for dinner on a Saturday night. The salad we had was delicious (arugula, strawberry) but the anchovies was average & pretty unbalanced taste wise plus very small. We also had the lamb sausage dish. They were going to make it gluten free in some way but then couldn't... shame. Overall just very average with limited options.

I have been thinking about my brunch at Les Marchands for days. I just can't believe what was dumped into the bowl I received. I love the wine shop. I have liked the food at the last few brunches I spent here - I'm not a big fan of brunch in general. Brunch is not a meal that makes sense to me. BUT I did not expect while enjoying delicious wine in my favorite hangout spot to suddenly be transported to Applebee's. Applebee's! I ordered a smoked pork dish that came with French fries. WITH fries. I hadn't had fries in a while so I thought that Les Marchands is a place I can trust to do it right. I figured there would be a little pile of smoked meat, a drizzle of creme fraiche, maybe some garnishy greens, and some fries. Classy to match the restaurant. What I received, however, was a giant bowl of CHILI CHEESE FRIES dotted with flecks of meat. I guess I really don't understand brunch if this is what such a beautiful wine shop will serve to people on purpose. Soggy cheese-soaked potatoes. Yeesh. Please someone explain this to me. 5 STARS for the wine selection and the fantastic service. 0 STARS for the chili cheese fries.

This used to be our favorite brunch spot until one day the menu changed and the tastiest ricotta toast with house-made strawberry jam was gone.

Great date location. A bit on the pricier side but the double $$ signs keep the rowdy college kids at the brewery next door, meaning great ambience and low volume for intimate conversation. My girlfriend and I shared the charcuterie board and each ordered a glass of wine, both great. The service was very kind and well versed on their wine selection, as they should be.

Always a winner. Offering specialties from Portugal his month. Had the marinated anchovies as an app. Delicious. Also finished with a 22 year old port, a perfect end to a meal which also included the farmers market board and short ribs with a robust earthy cinsault from Languedoc. Beautiful dinner.

One of my best serving experience since a while. Big to this really sweet and nice server called Maureen.
