Monsieur Marcel Gourmet Market

Monsieur Marcel Gourmet Market ranks 5th in the list of best gourmet Mini-marts In L.A. Marcel Gourmet Market, Restaurant, and Seafood Market is a family-owned French-inspired restaurant, seafood market, specialty food and giftware store featuring a carefully curated selection of the world's finest gourmet foods, cheese and charcuterie, international and California wines, spices, chocolates, and imported artisanal cuisine ingredients. For nearly 25 years, Monsieur Marcel has been located at the Original Farmer's Market at Third and Fairfax. It includes a European café-style restaurant recently named one of the top French bistros in Los Angeles; a seafood market offering fresh, wild-caught seafood, shellfish, and caviar; and a satellite market located in Terminal 5 at Los Angeles International Airport. Monsieur Marcel has established itself as LA's premier gourmet foods destination for discerning customers ranging from international tourists, European locals, and food-savvy home chefs to professional caterers and private chefs.

While the Original Farmers Market lacks the seemingly de rigueur Millennial design cred of the other mini-marts on this list, it does have a dazzling array of upscale non-alcoholic drinks in its cold case, as well as cookies, chocolates, and small kitchen goods you'd be hard-pressed to find anywhere else. Monsieur Marcel also sells high-quality wines, olive oils, pastas, and other gourmet imported fare, as well as counters selling first-rate cheese and wild caught seafood. Plus, the Farmers Market offers 90 minutes of free parking with vendor validation.
