Foodies seeking a one-of-a-kind Cleveland dining experience can reserve the Fresh Market package at the Ritz-Carlton Cleveland.
This hands-on, chef-guided exploration of the West Side Market is being offered from May to November, 2016.
The Fresh Market experience begins with an overnight luxury stay at the hotel, followed by a morning breakfast with a Ritz-Carlton chef who will review guests' food preferences and favorite menu items. Then, it is off to the market, as the guests and chef embark on a shopping tour of the West Side Market. Strolling from vendor to vendor, guests will survey seasonal flavors, sample foods that pique their interest, talk one-on-one with purveyors and discuss preparation methods with the chef. After the market tour, the guests can send their purchases back to the hotel with the chef, as they continue to explore the market neighborhood.
Once back at the hotel, the guests are invited to suit up in Ritz-Carlton aprons and help the culinary team prepare their customized Fresh Market lunch, to be enjoyed in Muse restaurant. The three-course meal will feature the items purchased during the morning's market visit, accompanied by Muse specialties and complemented by select wines. Prior to departing the hotel, guests will have the rest of their market purchases washed, wrapped and ready to take home to enjoy as well.
The Ritz-Carlton's Fresh Market package is priced from $439 and includes transportation between the hotel and the West Side Market. Phone 800-241-3333 to reserve the package, or visit www.ritzcarlton.com/cleveland.
