The GOODS from Market by Jean-Georges

Vancouver, BC | Time-pressed diners shouldn’t ever have to sacrifice on quality and taste. To ensure that even the busiest of people can sit down and enjoy a good meal, MARKET by Jean-Georges has launched an Express Lunch that promises to have guests in and out in as little as a half hour.

Crafted weekly by Chef de Cuisine Montgomery Lau, the Express Lunch highlights cuisine inspired by the classics of Jean-Georges’ “greatest hits” with fresh, locally produced ingredients emphasizing comfort and creativity – including new flavour combinations that explore spices from other regions, all while remaining close to home. Guests can choose between two or three courses off the Express Lunch Fresh Sheet that includes a choice of appetizer, main and dessert. The two-course menu is priced at $27, while the three-course menu is priced at $32.

“While MARKET has always been a favourite for special meals and special occasions, we want people to know that MARKET is easy and accessible for anyone at anytime,” says Moustafa ElGayar, Food & Beverage Manager for MARKET by Jean-Georges. “The Express Lunch is a quick and easy way to enjoy a fantastic lunch.”

The first Express Lunch Fresh Sheet kicks off with menu items such as the Jean-Georges’ favourite Steelhead Sashimi on Crispy Rice and Chipotle Emulsion, Chili Oil Poached Sole served with Roasted Brussels Sprouts, Creamy Parsnips and Lime, and for dessert, MARKET Cheesecake served with Riesling Gelée, Poached Figs and a Concord Grape Sorbet.

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.
