Le Marché on Clifton Has Closed

Opened late last year by chef Kevin O’Connell in the space next to La Ville Lumière , Le Marché Clifton (10431 Clifton Blvd.) has permanently closed.

The Parisienne-themed cafe and market was a natural extension of the full-service restaurant next door, dishing up pastries, breakfast, sandwiches and an assortment of pantry and fresh items.

Sadly, the concept never reached full velocity.

“The idea was fun, fresh, and something we truly believed Cleveland needed. A place to slow down, gather, discover something new, and enjoy simple pleasures done well,” management announced on Monday. “Not every idea becomes a long-term success, but that doesn’t make it a failure.”

The space could evolve in the future. For now, it “will remain available for private events, celebrations, showers, corporate gatherings, and special occasions.”
