Skip the takeaway. Order ahead, keep a few Marçi meals in the freezer for when you need them, and simply defrost, heat and serve.
A good one for a special night in is our Pollo alla Ligure - chicken thigh braised with white wine, sage, fennel and Ligurian olives. Light, savoury and deeply comforting.
Part of our limited Ligurian release, only here for a short time and available exclusively online. Worth trying before it’s gone.

A true Ligurian classic, Torta Pasqualina is a savoury pie traditionally made to celebrate Easter. Our version stays true to that spirit - layered with braised Swiss chard and leek, folded through creamy ricotta, and lifted with artichoke and fresh marjoram.
Encased in puff pastry, it’s both hearty and fresh, with a balance of sweetness from the greens and a gentle herbal note throughout.
Available for a limited time only as part of our Ligurian range - and only available to order online. Head to mealsbymarci.com.au to preview the rest of our meal range.

A closer look at a vegetarian favourite.
Roasted cauliflower, layered with spice, finished in a creamy, cashew-rich sauce. With black lentils for depth, texture, and balance.
Bold, satisfying, and a standout on any table.
26/05/2026
Potato Gnocchi with Basil Pesto - available for a limited time only, exclusively for online orders as part of our Ligurian menu.
Soft, pillowy gnocchi made the traditional way, served with a vibrant basil pesto on the side so you can finish it fresh at home.
Our tip: toss the gnocchi through the pesto with a little pasta water just before serving to release the full aroma of basil, garlic, and olive oil.

Part of our limited time only Ligurian menu - Ragù di Cinghiale, or wild boar ragù.
A true regional classic, rooted in Liguria’s inland hills, where game has long shaped the cuisine. Slow-cooked with red wine, herbs, and aromatics to soften its richness and bring out depth.
Best paired with pappardelle - wide ribbons that hold the sauce and carry the rich flavour through every bite.

Pissaladière - part of our new Ligurian menu, available exclusively through our online ordering platform, for a limited time.
A classic from the Ligurian/ Southern French region, we build on a light, airy spelt focaccia base. It’s topped with slow-cooked onions, gently caramelised until sweet and jammy, then layered with briny olives and savoury anchovies for that signature depth of flavour.
Simple to finish at home:
Defrost overnight, into a hot oven, 6 - 8 minutes, done.

On the menu from this week - a few new ready-made meals inspired by a single region, as we take you with us through some of our favourite places around the world, one menu at a time.
Each region is only here briefly before we move on to the next.
First stop: Liguria - in northwest Italy, right near the French border.
A place we came to know well during our years working as private chefs on yachts - long summers, incredible produce, and a deeply rooted food culture.
Available exclusively online, and only for a short time.

Marcus walks you through how we prepare our Lamb Provençal - a rustic French classic, slow-braised and ready when you are.

Our Shepherd’s Pie begins with tender lamb from the Macedon Ranges, slow-cooked with vegetables, white wine, rosemary and our house-made chicken stock until rich and deeply flavourful.
It’s then topped with buttery Yukon Gold potato mash and finished with Grana Padano for a golden, savoury crust.
Rustic, generous and full of depth. A comforting classic, made with care.

A little bit of French countryside comfort, ready whenever you are.
Our Confit Duck begins with locally sourced White Pekin duck legs, gently salted overnight with French herbs, zest and cinnamon quills
They’re then slowly cooked in their own fat until deeply tender.
The result is duck that’s rich, succulent, and ready to crisp beautifully in the oven until golden.
Served with a light jus infused with star anise, orange zest and warming spices, balancing depth with subtle citrus brightness.
For a simple plate, we love it with dressed Frisée leaves and toasted walnuts, perhaps alongside our (Dauphinois) Potatoes Gratin
We hope you enjoy.
