Qatar Foodie Tour: MARKET by Jean-Georges (W Doha)

I'm a HUGE fan of the Jean Georges-Marja Vongerichten couple and it was kind of a wish-come-true for me to dine in one of the many restaurants of the top and world-renowned chef, Jean-Georges.

We visited Market on a Saturday for their 'Lunch Express', a three-course meal for an affordable price of QR 95 per person. I booked a table for three, hours before our visit because from what I heard and read on the internet, the restaurant gets really packed during lunch and dinner.

As expected, the restaurant's ambiance and even the service was really good. The staff greeted us upon our arrival and one other staff confirmed our reservation and then led us to our table. After taking our orders, a complimentary bread basket was given, and to tell you the truth, it was one of the best bread baskets I've ever had.

Meet by foodie tour buddies! My cousin Chin and my mum Daisy

For the starters, I ordered Salmon Marinated with Orange, Creme Fraiche, Cilantro; my Mom had the Crispy Calamari, Rosemary-Lemon dip and my cousin had the Steamed Shrimp Salad, Avocado, Mushroom, House Vinaigrette. 

Three types of appetizers

For the main course, my mom and my cousin both had the Salmon while I had the Chicken. I got to taste the fish with the sauce and mashed potato and it was a perfect match, plus! the fish wasn't overcooked. The chicken, was amazing. It was juicy, tender and delicious, just how chicken is supposed to be cooked. The pepper and yellow powder on the side goes really well with the chicken and the sweet green beans.

And for the last part, the desserts! We decided to order three different things so we can try them all. My favorite out of these three would be the Molten Chocolate cake with Vanilla Ice Cream. The cake was soft, the warm lava-like chocolate at the center was so good, not too sweet, and was perfect with the ice cream. I had to take out the Nougatine so I can munch on it last because from the blogs I've read, I knew that it'd be lovely.

To sum it all up, it was a perfect and lovely weekend lunch out. I would definitely recommend this to my friends and family in Doha.
