I've been going to Marché Italien Le Richemont for about four years now, & I really wish I could say it's stayed as good as it was the first time I went. Unfortunately, it's been going downhill ever since.
The very first time I ate there, I had a beautiful carpaccio to start & a veal cutlet as a main. Everything was well-cooked, well-presented, & felt genuinely special. That meal really stood out, & I left thinking I had found a hidden gem in Griffintown.
Since then, I've returned mostly for brunch, & every time the experience has been more disappointing than the last. The service has dropped significantly. The concept of the place is interesting, with a shop, a deli counter, & a restaurant all in one space, but I feel like the staff are shared across all three & it makes everything feel stretched thin. When the restaurant gets busy, the team just can't keep up. It often shows in small but important ways, I've had to sit at sticky tables more than once, which says a lot about how overwhelmed the staff are during peak hours.
The shop itself is visually attractive. Some of the products are cute & make for good gifts, but pricing is a serious issue. It's extremely expensive, even for Griffintown standards. It's nice to browse & maybe pick something up once in a while, but it's not a place where I'd go do any regular shopping.
It's a shame, because the place does have potential. The idea behind it works. But the execution has just been getting worse, & there doesn't seem to be a sense of accountability for it. At this point, I wouldn't recommend the restaurant side anymore. There are too many other places in the city offering better food & better service for the same or even less money.View more

Food was really good.
Good coffee, acceptable bakery & excellent service.
Music not so loud, so you can talk normally.
All these in a Italian food market, so it is great!

The ambience is amazing ,we usually go there for sandwiches & dessert & they both are great & so tasty , yet when we decided to dine in the service was sooo slow , literally there only one other table & it took us around 2 hrs to finish! Also the portions where so small & not that tasty it was a disappointmentView more

This place warms us up with their food, ambience & the nice people working. It's our 2nd time in 2 months & we went for breakfast/brunch on both occasions. It's been a cheerful experience. Highly recommend!View more
One of the very few places in Montreal you could have a nice real coffee & relax.View more
Great place to enjoy a long lunch. Very laid back yet professional service. They put the focus on the food not the interior or how cool the staff looked!View more
Brunch was great, there was only one person taking orders so it took a bit of time but overall recommend, food was deliciousView more
I'm all about taking left turns, & this place showed up. I went for the Italian Americano. The best so far in my trekking about cafés & bistros. I'm going there this Friday to sit & eat with a friend, so I will report on that adventure. We came Friday & we stayed for two hours. Great coffee. We sat in the bustro. We will definitely come back. Update. Coffee to die for. Met a friend. Atmosphere great. Photos to come. I write books. Coming back to this inspired place.View more
