Marché Maman

SoHo & Chinatown


This clean French bistro, homewares store and 'secret garden' feels like it's been picked up and placed here from Provence. Enjoy quiche lorraine or beignets from the takeaway bar or sit for a meal on the other side of the shop, where tables and chairs are cleverly placed to show off the fanciful French country kitchenware and gorgeous kids accessories.

Note that the bistro opens slightly later and closes slightly earlier than the grab-and-go counter. The owner of Marché Maman is the creator of the Yellow Table blog (www.theyellowtable.com) and does cooking workshops here as well.
