This dapper wine bar looks a little out of place in the time-worn Farmers Market. Tucked away in the southeast corner, its U-shaped butcher block-style bar, topped with tea-light candles and bud vases, offers a romantic and soothing respite from the bustling, open-air market. The affable and knowledgeable staff will navigate your wine selection to the Monsieur Marcel house label, another French vintage, further selections from Europe or even select Californian wine without even a hint of wine snobbery. Its neighboring gourmet market also attracts tourists, locals, wine aficionados and novices…

A Hidden Gem for Breakfast
by carolrae4
I had the most amazing breakfast this morning at Monsieur Marcel's lovely outdoor restaurant in the Farmer's Market. My daughter and I shared our two favorite breakfast fares, French Toast and Monsieur Marcel's spin on Eggs Benedict. The French Toast was yummy and uniquely made with a baguette instead of the usual boring bread. It was crisp on the outside but melted in your mouth with abundant flavors that said, "I want more". Mr. Marcel's eggs Benedict was also a surprise presentation, served on a freshly baked croissant instead of the usual English muffin with crisp, bacon, perfectly poached eggs and the best Hollandaise sauce I've ever tasted. If you haven't thought of breakfast at Farmer's Market, here's a MUST TRY place for the perfect beginning of your day.
- Pros: Great Place for Breakfast!!---And other meals

The hosts need to get over themselves...
by vlmSantaMonica
I went to the Santa Monica location. What they did to remodel the outdoors was really nice, and the food, on average, is excellent. The wait staff is always very attentive. What I can't get over are the hosts that consistently turn me off. I've been to this place 3 times, all with the hope that the hostess and young host have learned a little humility, but this is LA, so I leave disappointed. The last time I went, it took 10 minutes to be seated when there were plenty of tables available and no one waiting, except for ourselves. The young host just looked at us and shrugged. The hostess disappeared, took a smoke break and then came back to seat us. It was the strangest thing I've ever seen. I have no idea what possessed me to continue to be seated, except for the fact that it is a beautiful and convenient location, the food is good and they serve a good panache. But, wow...
- Pros: Wonderful location for people watching, good selection
- Cons: Hosts--again, wow.
