Le Cafe du Marche

Yes, Le Cafe du Marche is a popular choice for a romantic date night. Guests frequently highlight the candlelit, intimate atmosphere, live piano and double-bass jazz, and cosy French-bistro feel that make evenings feel special. Expect attentive, discreet service and classic French dishes (many recommend the côte de boeuf and sharing options). For the most romantic experience, book an evening table and mention any special occasion so staff can help make it memorable.

Le Cafe du Marche serves lunch and dinner on a regular weekly schedule. Lunch is Tue–Fri 12:00–14:15, and dinner is Tue–Sat 18:00–21:30. If you're planning a special visit (late dinners or holidays) it's wise to call ahead, many guests recommend booking, especially for evening service when the restaurant gets busy.

Portions are generally generous and hearty, many guests describe the dishes as well-sized and filling, especially sharing plates like côte de boeuf or the rack of lamb. Several reviews praise “hearty portions” and good value on the fixed-price menu. As with any bistro, there are occasional remarks about a main or two being smaller than expected, so if you have a big appetite consider ordering a starter and a side or choosing a sharing main.

It depends on your aim: for the full romantic, musical experience pick Friday or Saturday evening when the jazz duo is usually playing. For a quieter, more relaxed meal, ideal for business lunches or quieter conversation, choose a weekday lunch (Tue–Fri) or an early weekday dinner. Guests often recommend midweek for a calmer vibe and weekends for atmosphere and live music.

Yes, the team is known for accommodating special requests. Guests report the staff handle birthdays (playing Happy Birthday), dietary needs and seating preferences with care. For allergies, celebrations or specific table requests, call ahead and the welcoming staff will advise and do their best to arrange it. If you have mobility or other accessibility needs, mention them when booking to ensure staff can prepare.

Busiest: Friday–Saturday evenings (live jazz nights) when the atmosphere is buzzy and reservations are in high demand. Quietest: weekday lunches (Tue–Fri) and early weekday dinners tend to be calmer, ideal for conversation or a relaxed business lunch. Guests recommend early evening slots if you prefer a less noisy dining experience.

Yes, families do dine here and guests often celebrate birthdays or bring younger family members. The atmosphere is relaxed and many parties include teens and multi‑generation groups. There’s no mention of a children’s menu in the available sources, so for younger diners consider an earlier seating and call ahead about menu flexibility or simpler options.

For a lively, atmospheric evening with live jazz choose Fri–Sat dinners when the pianist and double-bass often play. If you prefer a quieter experience, aim for weekday lunches (Tue–Fri) or an early weekday dinner when the restaurant is less busy. Guests also recommend early evening service for more relaxed conversation and to avoid peak noise later in the night.

Yes for family-friendly seating, guests regularly bring families, celebrate birthdays (including older relatives) and report staff are welcoming to groups of all ages. The venue is cosy with two dining rooms, so you can often find a table that suits a quieter family meal. For accessibility specifics (step-free access, wheelchair facilities), information isn't explicit in the sources, call ahead to confirm any mobility needs and request a suitable table.

Casual dress is the stated dress code. Guests typically dine in smart-casual attire, comfortable but neat, which suits the restaurant’s relaxed yet refined French-bistro style. For special occasions you may choose to dress a bit smarter, but there’s no formal requirement.

Warm, convivial and unmistakably French, guests describe candlelit tables, exposed brick, low lighting and a buzzing yet intimate bistro vibe. Live jazz or piano-and-double-bass in the evenings adds charm without being overpowering. Service is consistently called friendly, professional and unobtrusive, creating a relaxed, romantic and slightly old‑world atmosphere that many guests return to again and again.

Yes, guests report separate or semi-private rooms (a ‘Rendezvous’ room and adjoining dining areas) and several groups have used the space for celebrations and events. However, the restaurant-provided listing marks private-party options as not allowed, so it’s best to call and confirm availability, capacity and any booking terms if you’re planning a private event.
