The DC area seems to have a deli or cafe on every corner. In what’s come to be very common in the area, The Marketplace is uncommon in that they are several notches up from regular buffet food, with prices that are typical for the area.
What makes this place exceptional are the big buffet tables with a large selection of both hot and cold items — prepared and fresh salads, sushi, fruit, turkey, sliced pork, fried scallops, potatoes and gravy, corned beef – just to name a few items that you might find on any given day . Add that to the fact the restaurant is roomy and comfortable and you’ve got a place that you will keep coming back to. In fact, we know some customers who have nick named this place “the far salad bar”. A reference to the fact that they will walk further than normal just to go to:
4100 N Fairfax Dr
Arlington, VA 22203
(703) 875-9185
The Marketplace is only open for breakfast and lunch and is closed on weekends, so plan your visit around those times.
