French term or phrase: cuisine du marché

Is there a specific English term for "cuisine du marché"? The term is used to describe a type of cuisine (restaurant category). From what I know, it refers to cooking with only the freshest ingredients, but that seems rather vague to me.

Also, would you have a reference to suggest for culinary translations (menus, etc.)?

Many thanks!

Many thanks, everybody!

I ended up using "market cuisine" (rather than market-fresh or fresh-market) since I needed a clear category term and was using the word "fresh" in the definition. Will keep the other options in mind for different contexts, however.

Thanks again!

One varient of the German concept is "Marktfrischküche" - just for the record.

In the US they're called "farmers' markets" since the market is the supermarket.

Cultural context

Unfortunately, markets have different connotations in different contexts. In London fruit and veg direct from Covent Garden market was absolutely fresh as that was a wholesale market. However from e.g. Berwick St. market (to name a market that I knew well) it might be well past its best. Though Britain now has "French farmers' markets", at least in the London area, other market produce is generally cheap rather than good.

market cuisine simply means

there's no fixed all-year-round menu and the chef doesn't bend over backwards to follow recipes. He cooks based on the ingredients of the season and what comes to him fresh from the market. (Sp. "cocina de mercado" & D. "Marktküche").

There seems

to be a confusion here between "cuisine du marché" and "cuisine du terroir à base de produits frais"

In that case, if it's a French restaurant, you could always leave it in French (perhaps in italics) as (a) it sounds better and (b) most people will be able to work out fairly easily what it means.

Hi all,

I didn't have much more context, as it is used mainly as a category, but here is a sentence if that can be helpful:

"La spécialité du chef est la cuisine du marché, fortement axée sur les produits régionaux les plus frais. "

Sorry, meant to add, the idea is that ingredients are seasonal and fresh (implying local).

Asker: While I will probably go with the short "market cuisine" version, your go-montreal.com reference sealed it for me, as this is a Montréal-based text. Thank you!
