If you work downtown, this new lunch spot is worth checking out! Oxford Market is the latest eatery to open in the lower level of One Oxford Centre. It may have taken longer than expected to open, but it was worth the wait. My coworkers love it and given the crowds I've seen, so do our neighbors.
Oxford Market is a made-to-order, customizable food court featuring a total of five food stations. Each station specializes in something different, giving you a good range of lunch options to order from! Guests must place their order at a kiosk rather than ordering from the stations themselves. Most kiosks are at the entrance of the Market but a few are scattered inside it as well. Feel free to order from more than one station at a time, too! Just remember to grab a drink and snacks before ordering - these are located in coolers and stands throughout the market and need to be scanned as part of your whole order.
So what do the stations themselves have to offer? Piccola Italia offers pasta and pizza; Market Fresh offers a salad bar (note that you make and weigh your salads, versus the ordering process for the other eateries); Flame seems to strike the American comfort food vein with protein-based sandwiches and fries; and the other two stations (who I sadly cannot name off the top of my head - I'll have to add their names later) offer Thai-inspired cuisine and tacos. All made fresh, all made to order, all made based on what you want! Yum!
In the future Oxford Market hopes to host food trucks as "travel chefs" or chefs of the week. This is definitely something I'm looking forward to - although even without the featured cooks, this place has PLENTY of tasty goodness to offer. Do check them out and consider them as a lunch option!
