Welcome to The Market Place, Asheville's culinary gem nestled in the heart of downtown!

We're proud to have been named a semi-finalist for the prestigious James Beard Award for Outstanding Restaurant. Join us for dinner beginning at 5 pm where you can enjoy our delicious dishes alongside a local beer or a handmade cocktail.

Due to the unpredictable weather in the mountains, patio tables cannot be reserved.

Nice farm to table fare. Entree options were quite limited. My wife had seen the shrimp and grits on the menu online and when we got there it was missing. Very pricey entrees. We each had the lamb shank at $42! Frankly, I was still hungry which the waiter had assured me would not be the case.

A reliably excellent choice of restaurants for either a couple or a group. We had a quiet meal with four new friends at the round table in the corner. Our server was efficient, attentive and pleasant. He successfully split the check among three parties! Because we eat at Market Place regularly, we would appreciate innovation in the menu. New fish and vegetable offerings will bring us back more often.

Great cocktails! The menu is nice with the small plate offerings, and the mains range from a burger (yum!) to lamb shank (also yum).

4.5 This is a delightful and delicious place. We had a party of 8 and all went smoothly. Extra step-we didn’t love the first wine we picked and the server found an off menu wine he thought we would enjoy and we did! Going above and beyond.

Fixed price, 3 course menu for NYE. The food was first class and our service was great. Nice touch from Chef/Owner to chat for a good couple of minutes and kindly thank us for coming to town and help support the town. Will definitely return to enjoy the a la carte menu.

Food was well prepared and great. When we arrived they didn’t have our reservation made on open table. It could have been because it was made 30 mins prior to our arrival. They were happy to seat us still
