For those of you who don't know, Marché isn't really a restaurant but a marketplace as the name suggests. At Marché, you are immersed into an environment where you can interact with a variety of international street vendors serving up food with the freshest of ingredients. You create a tab by logging it on your Marché card and you pay for all your consumed items when you leave. It has always been quite a unique concept.
But for me, the novelty of Marché has come and gone...for the most part. It's no longer a place that comes to mind when I am deciding where to dine out. Gone are the days that I crave for a Rösti, a Swiss pan-fried potato dish that the chain is known for (at least for me).
However, when I am in the vicinity of one just out of happenstance, the thought of their mouthwatering Napoleon Square is enough to allure me back. It's hard for me to resist such a delicious treat.
The Napoleon variant at Marché contains a generous amount of velvety smooth custard and strawberry slices sandwiched between two layers of flaky puff pastry. On top, it is finished with powdered sugar and whipped cream. I highly recommend it!
