Markette occupies 326 7th Ave in Chelsea after rebranding from Haymarket to avoid name confusion. The menu includes standout dishes such as braised oxtail polenta. Executive chef India Doris leads the kitchen; she began cooking at 15 in London and worked across London, Normandy, and Spain before moving to the United States in 2016 and rising to executive sous chef at a Michelin-starred sister restaurant. Alex Pfaffenbach partnered on the project after overseeing global food and beverage for The NoMad Hotels and other openings. The single-room dining hall features murals evoking the English countryside and a basement added to the space. Markette opened in June of 2025.
