Restaurant is home to three-time James Beard nominated chef

A modern and sophisticated restaurant, Market Restaurant + Bar is home to three-time James Beard nominated chef and owner Carl Schroeder, who has garnered so many accolades in the San Diego Dining scene, that quite frankly, it’s hard to keep track. The cuisine at this restaurant is so product-driven; it seems to carry a type of pedigree that sets it apart from other restaurants in the area. In fact, when I dine here, I know I’ve tasted a truly distinctive cuisine from Schroeder’s life’s work. He’s taken his many years of experience, combined with schooling, and paired it with his matchless creativity. It’s no wonder that loyal customers and visitors from all over the world keep the place packed on any given night. The menu changes daily depending on Schroeder’s whim, or what he’s picked up at the farm that day. I co-authored and photographed the Market Restaurant + Bar Cookbook with Schroeder, so you can try your hand at making his famous recipes at home. The book is available for purchase at the restaurant. Reservations are highly recommended. -Maria Desiderata Montana
