Dine on a dime Vincent Market Bistro

Jenny Housh / Scottsdale Chronicle

The prosciutto and mozzarella salad at Vincent Market Bistro offers farm fresh ingredients at a flavorful price.

Throughout this semester, we have focused on

exciting inexpensive eats around the Valley.

For our last issue we have centered on a more

upscale bistro, with the best lunch you will enjoy

while dining on a dime.

Vincent Market Bistro opened in 2003, and is adjacent

to the main restaurant Vincent on Camelback.

Vincent's homemade stocks and sauces as well

as his popular croissants and desserts makes this

upscale but inexpensive bistro a unique fi nd in the

usually expensive Camelback area.

You may sit inside or on the patio and enjoy the

regular market bistro menu or daily specials (each

$10). Using only the freshest produce and fi nest ingredients,

it is easy to see why Vincent Market Bistro

is so popular.

We enjoyed many dishes from the regular menu

including the Prosciutto and mozzarella salad ($7.50)

with fresh mozzarella, shaved prosciutto, and the

best tomatoes I have found outside my local farmer's

market.

Our favorite main course, Pates au Pistou ($7)

spinach pasta paired with basil pesto is tossed lightly

with chicken or shrimp if you choose and topped

with parmesan. The pasta and pesto displays fl avors

that refl ect the quality that the Vincent name

is known for.

To end our meal we indulged in a variety of desserts,

Vincent's offers a complimentary dessert

with your entrée, which changes daily. We also enjoyed

the bread pudding ($5.50), and the homemade

sorbet ($5.50) and then traveled home for a much

needed nap.

Vincent Market Bistro is a rare gem that offers a

fantastic way to enjoy an upscale meal at a fraction

of what a bistro of this quality should be charging.

We encourage you to frequent Vincent Market Bistro

for a quality meal you will travel back for time

and time again.
