Food Photos: The Amazingly Delicious Market Place Restaurant in Downtown Asheville

“…that was the best salad I ever had in my life!” were the exact words that came out of her mouth. And after I tasted it, I knew why. Chef William Dissen took over this fabulous restaurant many years ago, and brought it to the next level with his team. I recently bumped into him at the Newark Airport while I was heading into NYC, and he was heading to the World Food Summit in Copenhagen. Food is his life, and anyone that has spent any amount of time with the Chef, knows his passion for good and healthy foods.

This is one of the restaurants where I make sure that I get the macaroni and cheese. Maybe the best I have ever had, or one of the top at least. Anyway, simple perfection!

Need I say more? This photo should be enough to communicate how delicious these scallops were! Order these immediately.

Braised Lamb cooked to perfection with house-made pasta. Wow, incredible dish!!!

I was full, but had to get dessert to cap off this first class evening. I have an amazing meal each and every time I eat here, so definitely put this on your sure-shot list of places to eat in downtown Asheville North Carolina. Check out the Market Place website for more info.
