Marche!
 

Fantastic deal at Marche currently. On Mondays and Wednesdays, they offer a three course $25 prix fixe dinner. What is amazing about this is that EVERYTHING on the regular menu is included. I had a $15.95 crab cake, $17.95 lemon sole and a great tarte au citron all for $25! Even the most expensive item on the menu, the $34.95 strip steak was included in the deal. There were four of us, everything was excellent (except the "chewy" profiteroles). Great deal AND they give you a $50 cetrificate to one of their sister restaurants, Opera. Even the obnoxiously loud music (which has been an issue for me there in the past) was at a pleasant level. They are located at 833 W. Randolph (1 block west of Halsted).

I smell a Monday night or Wednesday night FT dinner... when does this expire?

There is no announced date for the expiration of this offer, so who knows?

my thoughts as well,

How does April 10 or 12 work for the Chicago FT gang (and those who may be in town)?

4/10 or 12 work for me

:cool:

They had something like this last year...the $50 off deal during week nights. Good way to stir up biz during the week. I especially like it since I really prefer to not eat at those types of restaurants on the weekends, when they are inundated by suburbanites. :D

:rolleyes:

I usually don't eat out on weekdays, but this offer might motivate me to join the in-the-know diners.

is this a vote for the April 12 date? :)

I have a chance of being able to make 4/10, should know by this Monday. I know I cannot make 4/12, or any other Mon/Wed after that until sometime in late May.

I don't think 4/10 will work as there is a special $75 wine tasting/dinner there that evening (that is, unless people want to do that). However, as Willie has pointed out before, Flyertalkers are notoriously frugal. :)

oh well... :( I guess I have to hope it's still going on in mid-May!

edited as cert is gone.

YGPM.

BTW, I have several Opera certificates. Same deal as above. PM me if interested.

Cool, done deal YGPM

BTW, just read in the paper that Marche still has this deal. See first post for details.

FYI for Marche & sister restaurant Red Light:


Enjoy complimentary shuttle service to United Center PLUS free dessert!

Dine at Marché or Red Light before any evening Hawks or Bulls game, or other United Center evening event, and receive complimentary transportation to the United Center and back to the restaurant after the game!

Plus, those who present their ticket from any United Center event will receive a FREE Chef's Choice dessert (limit one per person).

Reservations required 24 hours in advance for shuttle service. Shuttle is first come, first served and subject to availability. Only valid with purchase of an entrée.

I have always had a good experience at Marche. Especially when the deals are on!
