Marché has been at the heart of the Willamette Valley's restaurant scene for more than 25 years– picking up honors from the James Beard Foundation and accolades from the national press along the way. We are most proud of our place in the community, whether it's as a regular lunch spot, a special-occasion date night, a family celebration or a place to gather with friends. We take our name from the French word for market — describing not only our location in Eugene, Oregon’s bustling 5th Street Market, but also our philosophy focused on fresh, seasonal, and local farmer's market fare. Inspired by French technique and committed to using only those ingredients that are at their best, our menu evolves as we move through the seasons. We serve lunch daily in our Parisian-inspired bar, brunch on weekends and dinner seven days a week. In warm weather, our patio is a sunny place to relax with a glass of rosé, surrounded by our herb garden.

Time counts at BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse. Since our humble beginnings back in 1978, we've continued to refine our brewhouse experience to make BJ's a place where you can make the most of any meal. We want BJ's to be a place where the moment you leave is the moment you plan on coming back. We pride ourselves in our craft and attention to detail. Our guests come here for our award-winning handcrafted beer. They come here for the Southern California twist we've put on the Chicago-style deep dish pizza. And they come here for our Pizookies®, our world-renowned dessert. But above all we know people come here to make their good times better. So in many ways we haven't just crafted a brand, but a mindset. And our guests are the reason for this. And it's because of them we're continually striving to make sure every moment they choose to spend with us counts. Welcome to BJ's, a restaurant with a Brewhouse soul.

We also brew non-honey ales, and feature a full bar with one of the most extensive aquavit collections in the Pacific Northwest. You can try this quintessential Scandinavian spirit in one of our house cocktails or in a flight! Head Chef, Mark Brauer, has curated a Scandinavian-inspired menu that features traditional dishes, and incorporates the Scandinavian style of marrying preserved and fresh ingredients. You will also find classic pub fare like burgers and hand-tossed pies, built with high quality and locally sourced ingredients, including meat from our local butcher.
