The GOODS from Market by Jean-Georges

Vancouver, BC | With summer in full swing, starting Friday, July 26, MARKET by Jean-Georges will be hosting a series of fresh and fun events to ensure that we all make the most out of our summer nights. The Pressé Summer Series will feature guest DJ’s, complimentary appetizers from 4:00 to 6:00 pm, and drink specials, including a featured pressé for $6.00 and a Grey Goose cocktails roster for $9 each. The evenings run from 4:00 through 8:00 pm with the final night of the series on September 13, 2013.

Fresh-pressed and inspired by a favourite French café drink, the pressé is traditionally crafted tableside at sidewalk cafés in France. A simple but balanced blend of vodka, fresh-pressed fruit, sugar and club soda, the pressé is the perfect way to celebrate summer and all its bounty.

The Pressé Summer Series will kick off on the patio with a guest DJ Charles Blair DJ spinning some hot summer beats, signature menu items from the MARKET by Jean-Georges lounge menu, Grey Goose cocktails, and the Citrus Cherry Pressé as the feature pressé. Guests can expect to be welcomed with local, seasonal, fresh menu items with a global influence that Jean-Georges is known for including the Rice Cracker Crusted Tuna, Citrus with Sriracha Emulsion and the Steelhead Sashimi on a bed of Crispy Rice.

The outdoor terrace at MARKET by Jean-Georges, open spring through fall, is one of Vancouver’s favourite hot spots. Overlooking the city below, the terrace provides glimpses of an adjacent ‘green’ roof done with blue and coral flowering plants and black grasses, as well as an art galleria curated by the Vancouver Art Gallery. Ideal for an afternoon cocktail or evening drink, the terrace is a perfect complement to the contemporary MARKET bar and lounge.

At MARKET by Jean-Georges, the culinary team presents Jean-Georges’ culinary vision within a chic bar, casual café, seasonal outdoor terrace and refined dining room. MARKET’s menu represents the ‘best of the best,’ a collection of Jean-Georges’ most popular dishes, customized to highlight the richness of British Columbia’s local products, especially the seafood of the Pacific waters.

MARKET by Jean-Georges is the first restaurant in Canada for the three-star Michelin chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten and the signature restaurant of Shangri-La Hotel, Vancouver. MARKET, open seven days a week from breakfast through dinner, is located on the hotel’s third floor and accessible through the hotel or directly off Alberni Street. Reservations can by made by telephone at (604) 695-1115 or via the restaurant’s website: www.marketbyjgvancouver.com.

THE VANCOUVER SUN – Mia Stainsby | It’s been too long since I’ve visited New York… So it was really nice of New York to come and visit me. Market at Shangri-La in Vancouver borrowed chef Anthony Ricco from New York’s Spice Market to bring some of his food here. Both restaurants are operated by Jean-Georges Vongerichten, whose name is spoken in reverential tones even in that jaded city.

We shared four à la carte dishes, plus a dessert. Shaved tuna with chili tapioca, Asian pear and lime ($14) was, if I may speak in rhyme, sublime: Petals of sashimi-grade tuna and a quenelle of tuna broth sorbet were served over a coconut kaffir lime broth. Vietnamese chicken curry ($22) featured half a chicken chopped into eight pieces in a beautiful coconut curry broth; fresh cut herbs
rained down upon it…

Ricco says he was impressed by the passionate, hard-working crew at Market. By his reckoning, this generation of New York chefs are getting a little too soft.

In Vancouver, Market impressed me once again, with casual but impeccable service. Case in point: a server saw us switching dishes and swooped in with the proper cutlery for each of us. The congenial professionalism is just right.
