The Marcel Experience

Inspired by the warmth and rhythm of Europe’s neighborhood bistros, we’ve created a place where conversation lingers, wine is poured generously, and every meal is meant to be enjoyed at an unhurried pace.

with something else and try it the second or third time because everything is delicious! I also had the Foie gras which is perfectly prepared as a traditional French menu item, as is the escargot! If you have a problem with them… don’t order it.Last night had the Ribeye which was the perfect size and perfectly cooked, tender, flavorful and juicy.The cocktails, Kevin at the bar is a fantastic mixologist and can start the night off with excellent concoctions!. Wine list is ideal, not overwhelming with a selection of high quality choices.Most surprising is the prices are beyond fair for what you get. Have tried “high end” restaurants in town that are double the price with food that is half the quality!Finally, have to mention the staff and owners… everyone was attentive, putting in their heart and soul into this family owned restaurant!Read more…
menu and specials. We started with the bread service (a must try) and two French 75’s that were perfectly made. The caprese salad was light and a perfect starter. My partner had the cacio e pepe as an entree and I had the sea bass with butternut squash ravioli. Both of us agreed the dishes were some of the finest we’ve experienced in St Pete. This is what a great dining experience looks and feels like.Read more…

and special.The rabbit pot pie was absolutely amazing—rich, tender, and full of comforting flavor. The sweetbreads were supreme, perfectly cooked and exceptionally delicious. Everything else we tried was spot on, with each dish reflecting the care and quality of the kitchen.With incredible food, attentive service, and a great atmosphere, Marcel is a memorable dining experience and a must-visit for anyone looking for elevated French comfort food in St. Pete.Let Us Save You A Seat
