Located along restaurant row in the West Loop, Marché serves imaginative versions of brasserie-style French fare in a nightclub-like setting. Numerous chef changes over the years have done nothing to diminish the popularity of this Randolph Market District mainstay. Vibrant paintings, ultramodern furnishings, and colorful upside-down umbrellas hanging from the ceiling give the restaurant a funky-chic feel and may make you feel as if you have stepped onto the set of Moulin Rouge. Sit back with a glass of Veuve and enjoy the theatrical surroundings of this hip hangout and its bustling bar.
