Saint Marc Pub, Cafe, Bakery & Cheese Affinage Opens in Pacific City

12.29.15

Quite possibly the best dining concept ever: part bacon bar, bakery, cheese shop and bar, is the new Saint Marc Pub - Café, Bakery & Cheese Affinage -- a flagship restaurant at Pacific City in Huntington Beach. 

Saint Marc has something for everyone. A well-curated selection of craft beer in a can, expertly handcrafted cocktails served in red SOLO cups and 32 wines on draft. The bacon bar features a wild variety of flavored cuts (including wild cherry, tender belly habanero and chocolate), while the cheese lovers can choose from more than 100 international selections. The café and bakery serves caffeinated drinks and free-flowing breads from breakfast hours until late night.

The kitchen prepares classics with a gourmet twist, such as grilled cheese and southern grits, to elegant charcuterie and ahi tuna cooked on salt rocks. You can’t pass up the lemon ricotta beignets!

You can stop in Saint Marc for intimate dinners, late night bites, business lunches or family brunches. An innovative, iPad menu system, used tableside and at free standing stations, offers images and on-demand ordering of any of Saint Marc's items for in-house dining or take out.

Saint Marc was created by Thomas (Mac) McFarland Gregory III, and Frank Mathew Belosic III. Gregory is a master mixologist, certified advanced sommelier, beverage consultant, and executive in the international food and beverage community with 25 years of experience developing, launching, and managing hundreds of locations for the world's most elite luxury hospitality brands. Belosic, responsible for overseeing Saint Marc's launch, is a master chef with more than 20 years of industry experience.
