Posted at the entrance was a sign indicating that a 12% gratuity would be automatically added to the bill. If you object to paying this gratuity at a non full service restaurant, you may want to pass on this restaurant. If this is your first time to a Mache Movenpick restaurant, this is a fun dining experience not to be missed. As a tourist, I am always interested in new experiences that I cannot get at home. You will be amazed at the food stations and amount of food on display.
The hostess handed me an unpaid tab card and I went in to select a table to dine at. Make sure you turn the sign over on the table to indicate that this table is now taken. If this is your first time at Marche, you may want to walk around to all the food stations before deciding what to eat at this self serve restaurant. You will drool over the amount of food on display. When you have decided what you want to eat, tell the Marche employee at the food station what you want. They will take your unpaid tab card and charge your order on the card. If your order is made to order, they will tell you how long the wait will be or they will give you a pager to indicate when your order is ready for pick up. Repeat as many times as you can eat lol. When you are ready to leave, take your unpaid tab card to a cashier at the exit. They will scan your card and add a 12% gratuity to the bill total.
I looked forward to eating at Marche as I haven't been here in a long time. My appetizer order was one pound of mussels with tomato sauce. I was given a pager to tell me when my order was ready for pick up. This gave me an opportunity to go sightseeing at all the food stations. I had to stop walking around as the more I walked around the more food I saw and wanted to try eating lol. My mussels were wonderfully prepared. The tomato sauce was not salty or spicy so I was able to drink the broth. A piece of garlic toasted bread was included with this dish.
My main course was rosti and chicken schnitzel. I was told that it would take 6 minutes to prepare this dish. The rosti was delicious with sour cream spread on each bite. The lightly breaded chicken schnitzel was moist. It did not taste oily.
There was no dessert as I was too full. :-(
I enjoyed my meal so I will have to come visit Marche again soon.
