Pere Marquette Bistro & Catering

Best food in the area I'd say. Prices are high but the portions are massive, especially for lunch. Food can be a bit heavy as well, I try to eat half and save half to go. Staff is great, atmosphere is great. Soup special is always good no matter what they make.

Debbie the chef and owner of this must go to place in Reed City. The best dining available as far as fresh food and five-star restaurant with many options. Everything is hand-picked and out of this world! Also great homemade pastries, cookies and more. Don't just think about it do it!!
Just came in again and the soup is like a meal. I love this place!! If I need catering they'll do it also.

The brisket wrap is hands down one of the best wraps I’ve ever had! It was smoky, a little spice, but the crunch of it just put it over the top. Very cozy cafe and great service! Found my new spot for when I’m in Reed City!

A beautifully catered graduation party! Great food paired with terrific unobtrusive service in a lovely and well appointed vintage environment. There were gorgeously displayed colorful heirloom veggies, varieties of crackers, chips, dips, and exotic cheeses as well as a generous salad bar and bountiful entree servings accompanied by freshly prepared hot side dishes. The fillet mignon was cooked and seasoned to perfection and served au jus or with horseradish sauce. The Chicken Alfredo had a divinely creamy and flavorful sauce that the staff indicated was made from scratch on-site. Side dishes included roasted multi-colored baby potatoes as well as delicately steamed fresh seasoned long green beans garnished with delicately sprinkled finely julienned carrots. The dessert bar included petit fours, mini eclairs, a colorful variety of fresh fruits and berries, bon bons, tartlets and French pastries. Splendid and somewhat exotic floral displays appointed each of the food stations. All in all, it was as nice a job as anyone could possibly ask.

Deb and her crew were amazing. We got married a couple weeks ago and had them cater our wedding. I would highly recommend them! We met with her a couple times to go over the menu and postponed the initial date due to how soon we were trying to plan the wedding. She worked with us and never once made us feel like a burden. The food at the wedding was absolutely amazing. She took our vision and took it to the next level. Everything down to the plates we ate on were perfect. The price was better than I planned for and the food was 5 stars. If we ever need catering again, this company will be my first call!

Beautiful setting and large portions of wonderful food. Highly recommend!

My husband and I were at a Celebration of Life memorial yesterday where Pere Marquette Bistro & Catering provide the meal. They did an excellent job! The food was fantastic and the staff was professional. We highly recommend Pere Marquette Bistro & Catering.

A Diamond in the Rough

Let me start off by saying my expectations have been blown away. From the quality of food to the atmosphere, I was pleasantly surprised how high quality my experience was dining in at this establishment.

I have been fortunate enough to experience both the catering services and dine in options offered. On each occasion, the food was absolutely wonderful and the service was top notch and professional. The way they are able to put together their food in a way that it plays music on my taste buds. Even though they offer a huge menu, due to their catering and dine in options, each one of their dishes are finely prepared and exquisite in taste.

As for the atmosphere of the bistro, it was cozy and comfortable while also maintaining the high class feel. When you walk through the door, you’re greeted with classy and creative decorations, a large, but beautiful, painting on the wall, and charmingly vintage floors, walls and ceiling. The mellow music combined with optimal lighting levels created an aesthetically pleasing experience.

I’m by no means a professional reviewer. However, I recommend Pure Marquette Bistro & Catering based off my experiences with them. It’s certainly a 5 star experience!

The spinach salad was amazing. It had the ripest most delish fruits. My wife said the bistro club was one of the best she's ever had. We accidently stumbled on to Pere Marqutte Bistro, but from now on we'll be going out of our way to dine here.

This is a wonderful restaurant! The people were sweet and kind. The food is absolutely DELICIOUS!! I was looking for something fresh and healthy and this was the place to go! Thank you for amazing food ❤ 😁

Pere Marquette has catered a graduation party and a wedding reception for us. Consummate professionals!! Do yourself a favor, stop reading the reviews and call Pere Marquette Catering. We can highly recommend them based on our experiences. Deb and her crew are wonderful people and the food they make is fantastic. We are still getting compliments on how delicious the food at the reception was. I have also worked with Pere Marquette Catering in a professional setting. They are great at accommodating folks regardless of the size of the party or budget. You can bet we will be calling them to help us the next time we need an event catered.

A rare find in this part of the woods! They focus on fresh ingredients, not fried. Everything we ate had exceptionally paired ingredients in a scratch kitchen. Even the chips and sauce were fresh made. Everything was fresh and masterfully crafted. I only wish I'd gotten more then one pie to go!

Great food. Plan for about 1hr for lunch (I have never done dinner here) as service is a little on the slower side, so relax and enjoy your company and the food (which is really great)! You can tell the staff takes pride in their restaurant. Good place to go for a special occasion. I will come back.

Excellent food for a small restaurant. We dined out on a cute glass table for 3. I got Mahi-mahi mango taco with avocado sauce, pita chips and a side salad. Excellent! My son got a BLT with potato chips (not a common kind of chips, I think they were home made) and my h got a berry chicken salad, he said it contained the best blackberries he had tried ever, the salad also had a lot of other berries and almonds. We were happy with the service and the waiter gave us the history of this small town and the building. It was actually a former Jacobson’s Department Store building. There is a bike trail on the back of the building which used to be the train track 😊

Wow! 5 stars for the food, catching this place when it's open is difficult. Door is locked almost everyday so hours of operation are a guess. But if you can get in the food is beyond good its truly and art.

Loved our meal. First time there and we enjoyed the experience. I had the salmon and my husband had the perch. We also had the fish bites for an appetizer. Very delicious. We will return.

We used the Pere Marquette Bistro for catering our class of 1971 reunion at the Moose this September. Their service was reliable, delicious, and extremely helpful in decision making. I also found their pricing to be reasonable considering the quality of food that we enjoyed. I very much wish I had this catering business near where I live on the East Coast! I would use them ALL the time. Sincerely, Kathleen Dennis VanAntwerp-Severna Park, Maryland

Our family held my father's 90th birthday party here for 40 people. The location was great, food excellent and staff so accommodating and friendly. We are so pleased that we chose Pere Marquette Bistro for this special occasion. All the people that attended are still raving about the event several weeks later.

Omigosh...menu items...was so hard to choose one! Got the Philly Steak on Sour Dough...best I've EVER eaten. Lunch with friends we seldom see, and we imposed on hospitality for 3 hours. THANK YOU for not kicking us out.

Had my retirement party here! Everything was great!
