Markette is a stunning restaurant with a dazzling Euro-Caribbean fusion menu with superior clarified cocktails. Standout dishes included the braised oxtail with crispy cheddar polenta, the heirloom tomatoes, and the salt cod fritters. The sol y playa cocktail was my favorite with a seamless blend of savory and sweet. The forest green dining room with the English countryside painted on the walls contrasts well with the striking burnt orange banquettes. The waitstaff exhibit urbane European hospitality. read more

Summary: I had a great Saturday night family dinner and was provided excellent service by Daniel and the entire staff. My mother, grandmother, and I came here because we wanted to go out for dinner, and try a new restaurant. I saw some good reviews about this place on OpenTable, and decided to give it a try. We started off with the well fleet oysters, grilled prawn, and Bibb salad. We also ordered the oxtail gratin and the pan seared dorade. Everything was delicious, but our favorite dish that was the star of the show was the pan seared dorade. We shared two orders of that, the oysters, and grilled prawn. I loved the sunken strawberry and cafe du bois. The sunken strawberry is great for anyone who likes a drink that doesn't taste like one. The Cafe Du Bois was an interesting twist on an old fashioned and I enjoyed every sip. I will definitely return to try the peri-peri chicken and other items as well. read more

The food here was extremely good and surprising. I didn't know what to expect when it said European and Caribbean, but it looks like all of the dishes are influenced from various cultures. We tried virtually everything on the dinner menu. I loved the codfish, fritters and surprisingly, the sun chokes. ROYAL STURGEON CAVIAR served with duck fat frites were underwhelming to be honest. Friends enjoyed the oysters. TUNA CRUDO was tasty as was the prawn. The prawn is a single serving (1 prawn). It does come in an extremely delicious sauce. The orzo with squash was also one of my favorites. There was also a butter bean dish . I asked to remove due to allergies. The braised oxtail gratin was really the star of the show. We couldn't stop eating it alongside the sunchokes. We also ordered the Dorade which had a nice sear on it. Very flavorful. The Bavette steak was also served with the duck fat frites which are a good standalone side. There is also a bar downstairs with a separate drink and light bites menu. The decor is very cool! I will be back read more

Hi, I haven't written a review in a long time because frankly I've lost interest. I'm almost always so distracted by the prices of everything it's broken me down. But every so often an experience pulls me out of retirement. And Markette did just that- a self described European Caribbean menu in a perennially depressing stretch of 7th avenue piqued my interest. Markette is a relatively nice looking space Lounge/nightclub /hotel lobby vibes, on a fairly tragic block in a transient portion of the city- historically reserved for commuters making their way in and out of Penn Station/Games /concerts at the Garden, etc. I had a quiet drink at the bar, as i was early for the 8 pm rez, the Negroni was solid. The staff were all very nice. I was distracted by the Ibiza at 10 pm soundtrack- not full blown balls to the wall techno, but happier house than I needed. The acoustics are loud. To be honest the most peaceful thing about the restaurant are their bathrooms. Great candles and great soap, nice lighting Place was full of people having early-ish after work dinners- most seemed to probably be heading to the train after-as you do.. Normal, unremarkable crowd. We made our way to the table where we were met by our extremely professional/enthusiastic server. She gave us the spiel about the plates to share, yada yada yada, and we settled on sunchokes (fine, unspectacular) , the bibb lettuce (best thing we had IMO) , the oxtail dish with polenta, and the dorade. This was more than enough food for 2 mid level hungry people, and our server had been pushing hard to sell us one more entree. Had we taken that advice this review would have dropped to 2 stars. I hate to be upsold. Let me find my way to the Promised Land. Service was a touch too attentive-we weren't nearly in the rush that our server was in. Dinner was 280.00. 2 small dishes, 2 entrees, 2 cocktails, 2 glasses of wine, 1 desert, 1espresso. With 20 % tip (because we had a reasonably good time and I didn't want to impact that negatively ) dinner was 336 bucks . 336 bucks- that's a lot of money. That's a flight to Puerto Rico, or LA for that matter. There's a 52 dollar lamb and an 80.00 steak on the menu, there's a lounge downstairs I'm told is a "vibe" . We saw the Peri Peri chicken from afar and it is drizzled in its entirety with alternating lines of piri piri sauce and ranch dressing. It looked to me sort of kid's menu fare. Nothing blew us away, we didn't finish the oxtail. I'd go here again if the right scenario presented itself-if a certain person or group needed to meet near MSG , but it's not a place I would revisit otherwise. For me If dinner is to be 330.00 bucks I want to be craving something I had- ambiance, music, lighting- unique flavors, exceptional service. It just wasn't good enough- but that seems to be more and more the rule as opposed to the exception. read more

Honestly such a great meal and overall experience. Everything was seriously delicious and the servers were extremely friendly. The staff made such awesome recommendations and everything was seriously great. My favorites: ox tail, the fish, & the crudo were the clear clear winners but everything on this menu is a 9/10 at LEAST! The inside is a super fire vibe also & they have a speak easy downstairs that's designed really well. Strongly recommend. Big ups to the chef, you deserve all of the praise you're getting online. read more

This is a must go if you are in NYC. The vibe is fire and the food is out of this world. Our waiters, Jamie and Lupe were so attentive so nice. Made great recommendations. This is definitely one of the best restaurants I've ever been to in my entire life and I've been to a lot of restaurants all over the world. If you don't get the oxtail gratin..... you'll be sorry! Honestly, everything was delicious. I would go back to NYC just to visit this restaurant. read more

The service at Markette truly shines. Everyone was super helpful and our waitress did a great job of guiding us through the menu. It's also a sophisticated and relatively quiet place for a meal near MSG and Penn Station. Now onto the food...nothing was bad, but in the crowded NY restaurant scene and at these prices nothing wowed me. For two we ordered the Bibb Salad, Roasted Sunchokes, Braised Oxtail Gratin and the Peri Peri Chicken. This was ample food for two. The standouts were the Oxtail and Sunchokes, with both the Oxtail and Chicken having decent spice. Overall, recommend Markette if you're in the area and looking to have a nice meal, but I wouldn't travel out of my way. read more

We had a great time at this new gem in Chelsea. From start to finish, everything knocked it out of the park. Vibe is a balance of trendy, inviting, lively but comfortable, ideal for sharing a fun meal together. We opted for several apps and mains to share, which felt just right: lots of variety and lots of flavor. The menu leans into modern European technique with Caribbean influences (braised oxtail with crispy cheddar polenta). Cocktails were on point as well. read more

Markette - Modern European Near Me - New York, New York

There are meals and then there are *dining experiences*. There are restaurants that need some time to work out the kinks upon first opening and then there are those that immediately shine. Haymarket is the latter in both cases. When I first read about Haymarket, my spidey senses (plus years of monitoring new openings) told me that it would be a formidable newcomer to the NYC dining scene, one that could quickly become one of those spots that is impossible to get a reservation at. Trying a new spot in its first couple days can be a crapshoot, but I had a feeling I would not regret taking the risk. And wow, did Haymarket deliver, exceeding expectations at every turn. The food, European with Caribbean influences, is singular and creative, sophisticated and refined, whimsical and quirky, and executed to perfection. Spots like Haymarket are why I remain devoted to the foodie life and for that I am so grateful. At 8:45 on a Saturday night, upon stepping into this beautiful, lively space, we were enthusiastically greeted by the host, clearly buzzing with excitement (and probably adrenaline). I had thought that the restaurant officially opened the night before, but the host told us that the night before was their soft opening for friends and family and that we were there for the first service open to everyone. A momentous occasion that was very cool to experience. As we settled in and opened the drink menu, we quickly realized that deliberations would be challenging here. Every cocktail was both intriguing and appealing. I started with the I Have A Martini Kink (vodka, vermouth, raspberry, lychee, lemongrass, szechuan) and my partner had the Hay Barbie (mezcal, aquavit, cachaça, beets, ginger, saffron). For our second round, I got The White Mirage (gin, bergamot, aromatized wine, aperitivo, vetiver) and my partner got the Lucky Plum (gin, umeboshi, fig leaf, coriander, soda). I have gone to a dizzying number of fancy cocktail bars in my life and I can say with certainty that the drinks here rival the very best that mixologists have to offer. They were all outstanding, but the Hay Barbie and The White Mirage were particularly astounding in their flavor profiles. True genius, true art. Food-wise, I think it's safe to say you can't go wrong. The menu is impeccably curated with an impressive range of preparations. Everything is designed for sharing, and you'd be silly not to try as much as possible here, an approach that sharing facilitates. Each dish showcases expert technique and artistry with flavors that are both astounding and harmonious. Eats, below: Tuna Crudo w/ aji amarillo, avocado, radish: A+ Light, fresh, with very thinly sliced avocado and radish and a glorious both of aji amarillo that had just a hint of spice. Bibb Salad w/ sour cream + onion, everything crumble: A+ Our server told us that each bite magically tasted like a sour cream and onion chip and that it did. The everything crumble was from potato chips made from scratch, which alone is impressive. It's on the smaller side as far as salads go, so order two if you're on the fence. Grilled Prawn w/ bouillabaisse, chili crisp: A++ Minds were starting to be blown at this point. The prawn was cooked to perfection and that chili crisp-bouillabaisse flavor/texture combo was just next level. Pan-Seared Dorade w/ spring potatoes, asparagus, anchoïade: A+ The sear on this fish was beautiful (Gordon Ramsay voice implied). The dish was bright and delicate, and I basically licked the plate clean because of how good the anchoïade was. Roast Half Chicken w/ peri peri, ranch, snow pea salad: A++ The signature dish here is this one-of-a-kind peri peri chicken, as visually enticing as it is delicious. Accompanied by a cute little salad served in turquoise ceramic chicken (let that sink in for a second...and peep the photo). The first bite left me speechless. Our incredible meal was made even better by the great service, which is always appreciated but was particularly impressive on this night given that Haymarket just opened and you never know how a concept may take on a life of its own when fully manifested. Everyone working here was friendly, attentive, efficient, and helpful. As a young foodie in training, anytime I went to a great restaurant, I I'd ask my parents with some degree of desperation if they could promise that we'd return, my brain incapable of accepting the possibility that I may never have such an experience again. I found myself doing the same thing here with my partner, despite the fact that I am now, in fact, an adult with autonomy who doesn't need permission for such things. I suppose this experience activated a childlike part of me, which is a testament to the chef and operations staff, who created an experience that evokes a sense of play, a seriously great venture that does not take itself too seriously. read more

Avoid if you don't want to be disappointed. One of the owners, Alex, reached out to my husband after his first experience here was less than stellar (cocktails took nearly an hour). He asked if there was anything he could do, so my husband suggested reservations for Valentine's Day. Alex said sure, 5:45. My husband confirmed. So we got dressed up, went to the restaurant, and the reservation wasn't in the system. After a lot of back and forth, the best they could do is an hour wait in the lounge downstairs. The owner INVITED my husband! What an embarrassing way to run a restaurant. Now we are scrambling on Valentine's Day with nowhere to go. Can't imagine this place will last. read more

4/5 for food 4/5 ambience 4/5 service Came here with my partner for a Sunday evening dinner. We enjoyed the evening and the ambience. The restaurant is tucked slightly next to Penn Station, which is an interesting location but also works. We sound the salad to be very good and thoughtful along with the linguine. While the chicken was good, it was very saucy and the flatbread with a slight disappointment. The drinks were good and the staff was pleasant. read more

I haven't been this excited about a new restaurant since forever. All I know is that the chef is from London and has Caribbean heritage. The food is bold, adventurous and packed with flavor. Our server described the linguine dish as the encompassing saltwater smell of the ocean as you walk towards it, and it was exactly that! But with a beautiful citrus note cutting through it. The signature peri-peri chicken was great, and both desserts were incredible. The bar absolutely matched the food in terms of flavor and balance. We loved the Sol y Playa and I Have a Martini Kink. Such exciting combinations! I will be back! read more

Normally I don't leave review. But my dinner experience here prompted me to leave on. Let me start by honestly saying the food were not bad and the ambience was actually pretty good. However, the waiting time for the food is among the longest ever in all my dining experiences. It was well over an hour from the time we sat down to getting our food on the table. The waiter took our request for the drinks right after we sat and it was at least 20 mins later before we had to flagged him to take our order, and another 40 or 50 minutes before our food came. Though the waiter was polite, the time it took was just way too long. And no one came in all that time to update us on thr status. We had to, again, flag our waiter down to find out where or food are. The restaurant was packed, but to me that is not an excuse for this ridiculous wait time. Personally I would not go back again. read more

My boyfriend surprised me with a dinner to celebrate my new job. Loved our experience here. Jamie was the absolute best! we will definitely be back. read more

I found Markette on the Infatuation and was not led astray. We went to Markette for my boyfriend's birthday. I can tell they paid attention to my reservation note/request; they were super sweet and celebratory towards us. In the most common pictures for Markette, you will see the peri peri chicken, so naturally, I had to try that. It was delicious and the mini salad + wing served on the side was delectable. If you have a low tolerance for spice, I would advise trying something else, but it was good. My boyfriend got the lamb skewers with their home made pita which was phenomenal (we were told this was about to get rotated off the menu for other/new dishes.) We had the cod fritters as an appetizer, which was another crowd favorite that is a sure fire recommendation. I'm usually not huge on cod, but they were really tasty. We ordered the mango dessert, which was actually saltier than expected, but it was interesting to try. They put a candle in the dessert as well :) I would actually recommend trying the strawberry Swiss roll, I have heard amazing reviews about it and I think I'll have to go back to try it again! Drinks were delicious, I had the Sol y Playa which was balanced and deceptively strong. My boyfriend had the Hay Barbie and we split a Sunken Strawberry. These drinks are strong, so if you are a fellow lightweight, pace yourself! To top it all off, we were given mezcal martinis on the house as a send off for his birthday. I could not recommend this place enough. The restaurant is beautiful, the ambiance balances a classy air without being stiff, and the staff was very welcoming. For the experience we received, the prices were pretty reasonable as well. This place feels like a hidden gem due to its discreet signage, but it was packed by the time we left. Check it out! read more

Came for the Black History Month dinner--was severely underwhelmed by the experience. The menu lacked cohesion and the food was pretty bland. It took a long time for the plates to come out and there didn't seem to be any consideration for timing between each course. I don't think there was value for price paid. Staff consistently knocked over my purse without apology, though eventually someone did provide me a bag clip. If I came back I'd go for drinks in their downstairs bar, much better experience. read more

I just love this place. The food was amazing. The service was great and the space is beautiful. Looking forward to going back.!!

We really wanted to love this place. Woman. POC, Michelin... Unfortunately, the expectations were set really high due to recent social media buzz. They didn't have the oxtail dish... what we went for! The other dishes were just ok. service was great at the bar... otherwise just ok. We would've loved to see Chef India. Not sure how often she is at the place. $280.00 with tip... not the priciest meal but underwhelming. read more

Nice build out. But food was subpar. Too acidic. Chanterelle fettuccine was acidy from white wine that was actually unpleasant. Piripiri chicken was burned. Burnt skin on chicken was covered with hot sauce and white sauce. Skin had to be removed as charred taste from skin was offputting. My wife finished it. Service was pleasant and when we told Waiter about the dish being unpleasant he offered to replace it but by the time with every dish being subpar I did not want to even try anything else read more

It's rare to dine at a restaurant and fall in love with every single dish, but that's exactly what happened here. I'm already dreaming of my next visit! These are the dishes I can't stop thinking about: * Oxtail: This dish was life-changing. Must get. * Crudo: Often, crudo can feel like just a taste if you're sharing, but the portion here was more than substantial and the sauce is magical. * Grilled Prawn: Perfectly cooked with a crunchy kick from their incredible house-made chili crisp. I need this bottled at home. The prawn was cut into pieces so it is easy to eat. * Caviar and Duck Fat Frites: I'm not even a caviar fanatic, but these fries are delicious Even as someone who rarely drinks, I assumed the cocktails would be special considering the bar director's background. We tried the three cocktails from the "Tall & Crisp" section, and they absolutely delivered. He clearly has a talent for crafting perfectly balanced drinks. The Lucky Plum was a standout - so unique and refreshing, I've never had anything like it. read more

The food here is absolutely top notch. The oxtail and prawns were fantastic. The service was probably the best part about the Haymarket though. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Cod fritters were like clouds. Everything we ate was delicious. Attentive service. Lovely ambience--it was quiet!

Drinks were so balanced and service was very nice. If I was closer I'd go back on a regular basis!

Amazing food, drinks and service. Downstairs bar has a unique menu for lighter bites, interesting cocktails.

It's been a few months, but the taste memory remains strong. The taste makes this place special! I've been here multiple times, and haven't had a bad experience yet! These employees address problems immediately. I plan to return frequently despite any crowds. read more

Went there the other evening. The food was fantastic and most items have a bit of a kick and very tasty (so ask the server if you are adverse to spicy). The staff were so friendly and the manager walked around talking to everyone and making sure everyone was enjoying their dining experience. It was also a great looking restaurant and we sat at the bar! I'm looking forward to going again and try their downstairs bar area! read more

The food was incredible! I totally see why they have the Michelin star. And the price... $60?? Are you kidding me! For a Michelin meal in 2026?? With the best service in NY, and an incredible owner, India. The ambiance itself is super unique, a dark, cool vibe in there. 10/10 read more

I felt like the entire time something was missing. From the decor, the service, and food something felt missing. Nothing was bad but I was just waiting for something to be great or special, and that wasn't there. I think this spaced lacked intimacy. read more

One of the best dining experiences I've had. The space is beautifully designed, and every detail, from the silverware to the napkins, felt intentional.

Can't wait to return! read more

Went to Markette yesterday to celebrate an anniversary and had the most fantastic meal with absolutely exceptional service! The food was unparalleled- the peri peri chicken was insanely good and I will continue to have dreams about the oxtail for months to come. The restaurant itself was gorgeous and such a lovely setting for some of the best food I've eaten. Our server, Eva, was the absolute kindest and most fantastic server I've ever met and was on point with each and every recommendation she gave us. PS: to the wonderful couple that sat next to us, you are absolute angels, and we can't thank you enough for your kindness and generosity- it meant so much on such a special day. read more
