St. Roch Market offers fresh regional produce along with locally prepared products.
As culinary commerce booms, food halls are popping up like gourmet mushrooms from coast to coast. More selectively curated than open-air farmers’ markets, these indoor marketplaces house everything from local butchers to casual eateries. Unlike the Italy-centric Eataly archetype, most new halls aren’t bound by a theme. Melrose Market in Seattle and St. Roch Market in New Orleans offer a diverse array of vendors—young-gun chefs as well as established faces in the food community. St. Roch co-owner Will Donaldson says his market is “about 13 individuals, all with something to say.”The hall allows them a space to say it while establishing a more intimate bond with customers. Thus, the primary focus of these markets is on sharing flavors and moments. “It is a place for people to come in and spend hours as they meet friends, push tables together, and engage in sampling food,” Donaldson says. “This is a shared experience.”
