Food Lover's Eatery - The MARC — Restaurant in Gauteng

Grab a quick lunch bite here, but make sure you beat the rush, otherwise your options will be limited. Huge variety - from burgers to breyani, from sandwiches to sushi, there is something for everyone. Food is fresh and tasty, and their baked goods are delicious - I especially like their jumbo muffins! Hot food & salad bars are self-service, dish up what you want and then there is a "weigh & pay" system at the tills. It can be pricey if you dish up a big serving, so ration your portions if you are on a budget. There is free parking in the basement of the mall for the first 30 minutes, so if you're grabbing takeaways, you don't have to pay for parking. There is also seating in front of the store if you want to sit down and eat. Overall a good option for lunch...

So this eatery has good and not so good points. Convenient, yes. Sometimes the fruit they get doesn't look so good then the other day I got the most amazing oranges and naartjies. Not keen on the cake as they don't use proper fresh cream, and the icing as well on the cakes.

The food trucks, I love the Mexican place I've probably bought from there the most. Tried the fish and chips once, and the chicken /beef burgers once. The plain or seeded panini's or baguettes or nice, just wish the tomato and cucumber were cut a bit thinner or smaller.

The little wrap tizers are also not bad if you want something small, or even the salads or hot...

Was good at first, but quality is increasing becoming worse. The salad bar is largely useless, and the hot food "bar" lacks three things: variability (always the same things on offer), roast potatoes (not super oily sweet potatoes), and decent vegetable options (always only broccoli mixed with beans and marrows - we need more greens/variability).

I never bother with burgers or calamari or chicken, as there are never chips ready so one has to stand and wait while they prepare them - don't have time for that. Sushi used to be alright, but they're trying to be too fancy now and quality has suffered while prices...
