Good Food on the Road

The reopening of Marché Moderne in Newport Beach bodes well with LA Times food critic Jonathan Gold. His recommendation? Do not skip the lovingly prepared coq au vin.

One year ago, the closest thing Orange County had to a neighborhood French restaurant shuttered its doors at the South Coast Plaza. But recently, it resurfaced directly across from the Newport Beach shoreline. Jonathan Goldfinds quality consistent with Marché Moderne’s original location but in more elegant digs. The exquisite roasted rabbit and coq au vin guarantee that hungry eaters will travel the distance for authentic French classics.
