    Marche Moderne is everything you would expect of a Michelin Guide Restaurant and more. From the elegant decor to the best service I have experienced in Orange County to the extensive menu of French themed dishes with a California twist you find yourself immersed in an experience that will draw you back time and again. Pork belly confit, Hamachi sashimi, braised duck, angus filet au poivre and a sorbet to finish the meal. Each dish was a star in its right and there are many more that we look forward to try next time. I highly recommend that reward yourself with a dinner in the wonderous restaurant,

    Excellent service and inventive cuisine. Don’t hesitate to go off the beaten path and order specials. We had a very creative and delicious cannelloni with rabbit, the creamy sauce complemented it very well. The smoked roasted duck breast is perfectly cooked and tender, with its sauces being light and tasty with a touch of Szechuan pepper. The short rib was also very tender in a beef burgundy-like sauce (not sweet) and definitely a must try if you are a carnivore with good appetite. The only negative is that you have to pay for bread although it’s a must on a French table… We will come back 😉

    This was the best dining experience I’ve had in orange county in a very long time. The presentation of the food enhanced what was otherwise the most creative food. Every fight of food, commencing with the bread and butter all the way through dessert was a taste treat. Myself, and four other guests were treated with the utmost respect and consideration.

    This place is THE modern French cuisine and fine dining restaurant in all of the OC and possibly Southern California. The owners have taken great care to create a menu to satisfy all the vegetarians to meat-eaters in your party, and the service is attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. I could not recommend a restaurant higher than Marche Moderne. Bravo!

    We had the five course tasting menu. Although all of the courses were very, very good, the star of the show was the butter poached lobster on a bed of shellfish gelee, accompanied by a sable tart with caviar. It was an outstanding dish in every way: visual appeal, taste, texture, and creativity.

    Tasting menu was great however next time we would stick to our usual with ordering off main menu. The big eye tuna dish on tasting was a miss for our table. Tuna was lost in the super tart preparation. Lobster/caviar and duck were outstanding. Overall the wine tasting along with the menu was very well thought out. We absolutely love this restaurant. We will always return!

    Our 59th anniversary dinner with friends was excellent. My husband had the lamb, I had the Coq au vin, my standard, another had the Thai lobster and another the pear salad. Everything was delicious. If you like a smooth bourbon drink, I recommend the Manhattan A L’Orange, but is is very strong. Special with the large ice cube and delicious Amarena cherry.

    This was our first time dining at Marche Moderne. The hostesses were very pleasant and we were seated right away. Our table was against the glass wall next to the kitchen. It became apparent that this was a busy walkway for the staff, and our view of the kitchen was mostly of plastic containers containing various ingredients for the food preparation. We had a great waiter who took care of our drink order quickly and we started with the cheese board, which we enjoyed. Soon we noticed a few patrons in shorts and t-shirts seated near us, making us think we may have overdressed for this restaurant. My husband had the fillet, which he like very much. I had a salad, since there were no other vegetarian options except for having the cooks make me a plate of vegetables as suggested by the waiter. I opted for the salad, which was very good. We noticed as we left that there was a nice bar with great ambience, which would have been a much nicer dining experience. Overall we had a good time.
