what the critics say

Zoe Williams - 7/10
Wednesday, February 25, 2009 - Market's interior does not distinguish it from any mid-range trendy food-spot this side of 1993. Exposed brickwork, functional grey paint on the odd pillar and school-type wooden chairs do not heap luxury upon the atmosphere, but I don't mind that...I, boringly, had the cauliflower-cheese soup and it blew me away. The bass note was earthy and flavourful, without being arduously vegetative. Mustard and a quirky, tangy cheese fenced over who would dominate. But never mind all that, it was just so darned nice.

Sunday, September 21, 2008 - A conversation with my companion, upon reading the menu at Market in Camden Town. 'Well, I know what I'm going to have.' I shake my head: 'You're not having that.' He looks at me. 'I haven't told you what I want yet.' With a world-weary sigh, I say: 'You want the pig cheek, trotter and apple pie and you can't have it.'

Second visit - excellent wholesome food, beautifully cooked; service attentive but not obtrusive. Good choice for small groups.

Thursday, December 23, 2010 - My first course came from the daily specials' board. Ox tongue fritters and mustard mayo. A wonderfully executed dish and beautifully seasoned...The duck was as good as it gets; crispy, tender and salty enough without the aid of the Dead Sea. The potatoes (think dauphinoise but baked in meat stock instead) were a revelation. The red cabbage, for once not over marinated in vinegar, was subtly sweet and heart-warming...Market is an overlooked and unheeded joint.
