Market Salamander

The interior has a very unique design, with market-like stalls displaying various products around the walls which are painted like the sky. The short rib sliders were pretty good, and the boursin cheese that came with it was an excellent pairing. I wasn’t as much a fan of the potato salad though. The potatoes felt undercooked, and the whole mix was a bit plain.

Have been wanting to try Market Salamander for a while and finally stopped in for lunch with the family. No table service, you have to order from the front register. However the staff are very pleasant and responsive. The food is what you'd expect from an upscale market, excellent. Had the Jr Club, mac-n-cheese, and the quinoa crab salad. All were fabulous and worth coming back for. If you are visiting Middleburg VA, I highly recommend grabbing a bite or drink here.

I regret not trying this place sooner. Worth solid 5-Stars in all categories. After a round of golf today (7/9/23), we decided to stop at Middleburg for lunch at Market Salamander. Entered the restaurant with a warm welcome from one of the host (regret no.2: did not get his name). He gave us a quick rundown of the menu and drinks options and recommended the Turkey Pot Pie from the Today’s specials……what a perfect recommendation. The pot pie was the best i have ever had. We also ordered the rueben sandwich. While it was a first for me to try a reuben with chunky strips of meat rather than the usual pastrami style thin sliced beef, the beef was smoked melt in your mouth perfect. The host was super professional, courteous and friendly. Great job. And the food was clearly made fresh, the portion size was just right and the pricing was very reasonable per Middleburg standards. I strongly recommend this place to anyone who appreciates great quality food in a comfortable and welcoming ambience and that too reasonably priced. Keep up the great work team Market Salamander.

We were meeting up with family to go to a winery, stopped here to pick up sandwiches to take out. While we waited for the rest to catch up we got a snack for ourselves on the patio. A charcuterie plate piled high with delicious finds on it. I was having so much fun noshing away I sort of hoped the rest would be late. The sandwiches we got for take out were equally delicious. This will be a new must stop on my way through town again. Very good fresh food at a good price point. You wont believe how good it is. The staff is very friendly too. They have lots of snacks too. Dont miss this gem. Parking in the back.

Do you know when you are hesitant to introduce a certain spot to your friends because you wanted to keep it unpopular for a while so you can enjoy it more as a hidden gem? To me Market Salamander was like that many years ago. It is now too popular that I even find some one-star reviews from some visitors. This restaurant must have done something right to increase their expectations. Today I went back to this favorite lunch place with my beloved colleagues on a perfect Spring day and sat outside for a casual dining. I couldn’t be happier. Friendly staff, clean porch, decent food, no loud music, and cute bathrooms.

Chef Pete is absolutely amazing. I had the pleasure of attending of one of his wine pairing dinner this past Sunday. The food was delicious from start to finish. It was a wonderful atmosphere very welcoming staff and impeccable service. If you are considering attending one of the one wine pairing dinners they have twice a month you will not be disappointed.

First off this restaurant has a very cool setting that is elegant, casual and inviting. The staff are very friendly and so is the chef! The food was good and it was served fairly quick which is great. However there were two things I noticed that took away from the experience. My eggs over easy being slightly cold. My biscuit was a bit harder than expected and my crab cake seemed burnt on the top but it was fine. Those in my opinion were minor issues and didn't impact the flavor or experience. So with that said I still recommend you give this eatery a try!

Fantastic Food! Recently had the pleasure of attending the "Caviar & Champagne" Wine dinner earlier this month. It was hands down the BEST food and wine pairing dinner I have ever been to - Market's Chef Pete is truly a culinary wizard. Each course was artfully and thoughtfully prepared, inviting guests to marvel not only at each course's unique architecture, but also the delicious design and flavors therein. Many thank yous to the entire team at Market Salamander (you all were extremely professional & polite!) and also to the wine rep for Moët Hennessey for hand crafting a wonderfully whimsical, elegant December event. Truly an unforgettable experience! Highly recommend & hope to attend the next one soon!
