 Another member of the Vongerichten empire, Market enjoys an enviable position on the aristocratic Avenue Matignon. The décor is modern and elegant with beige banquettes and chairs, enhanced by soft, subtle lighting. The horizontal lines on the blond wood paneling are like large arms welcoming you. At lunch, you enjoy the view and natural light of the beautiful courtyard where you can be seated in summer. Alsatian Jean-Georges Vongerichten has gone far away from his roots in his Parisian restaurant. Influenced by his world travels and his many years spent in America, he has composed a menu that we are more used to seeing in the New World than in France. It starts with the “black plate” section where grilled quail, phyllo-wrapped crab or lobster are choices. Out of the three pizzas on the menu, two are rather unusual, the toppings being raw tuna with wasabi or Fontina cheese and black truffles. Other choices of appetizers include coconut milk-chicken soup, endive salad with shrimp tempura, or foie gras with frozen papaya. Then to follow, you can try the bar de ligne on a purée of panais in a lime-coconut jus, rabbit with shiitake mushrooms in a persil emulsion or veal breast in caramelized milk with ginger and honey. Vegetables on the side are garbanzo beans fries, truffled potato purée or wild mushrooms. Intriguing mixes continue with the desserts, like the lemon-rosemary macaroon with kumquat ice cream, or the spicy chocolate tart. The wine list includes selections from all over the world. The lunch prix-fixe menu at €36 is a great deal (appetizer and entrée, or entrée and dessert).
