Bistro Du Marché By Tapenade

The food was excellent. I was disappointed that (1) we were charged $35 corkage even though we bought 3 glasses of sparkling wine from the restaurant, (2) the waiter (or maybe the bartender) decanted our wine by just dumping it into the decanter — leaving us with substantial sediment in our glasses, and (3) the waiter was very rude when I left a 17% tip on the check (including corkage, but before tax).

Our first visit to Bistro du Marche and we will be back soon! This restaurant meets all our requirements for being a favorite no background music to interrupt conversation great menu delivering on flavor wonderful ambience super service acknowledged our request for a quiet table Thanks!!

Best meal this year! Wonderful pork pate and excellent burrata tomato salad. Superb service overseen by Hadrian. The lamb was perfectly cooked. Lemon tart dessert was off the chart!!

Wonderful and authentic French food. The service level is top notch from start to finish. The acoustics make for an atmosphere that is a little bit noisy. Outside dining is a great option. Crab and mango appetizer is very good. Scallop entree was also yummy.

1st timers my Bday celebration. Food quality, plating taste all “A”, but our 2 cocktails really sucked, our server even forgot to bring mine even after 30+ minutes at the table, I think he knew we should pass on them, a sign ? Yummy desserts. The true French woman chef knows her stuff came out of her kitchen in full chef whites as the cooking winded down the restaurant emptied by early 8:30ish, sooo Downtown La Jolla I guess. My Duck Confit was superb, the Pork Chop Lamb entrees decent, the Apps very good the French bread superb. Would recommend. Au Revoir.
