The owners of Lovettsville’s award-winning restaurant, Market Table Bistro, plan to open a new restaurant in Purcellville.

Jason Lage and Rebecca Dudley say their new restaurant, Market Burger, will move into the space on West Main Street formerly occupied by Jose’s Pizza, which closed its door earlier this month.

Northern Virginia magazine last month named Market Table Bistro one of the 50 Best Restaurants in Northern Virginia.

Lage, a 16-year restaurant veteran, has served as executive chef in many fine dining restaurants, luxury resorts, inns and hotels in the Washington area, including Lansdowne Resort, Jefferson Hotel and the Oval Room in Washington.

Lage studied and worked at Michel Bras in Laguiole, France (Michelin 3 Stars) as well as Pierre Gagnaire in Paris, France (Michelin 3 Stars).

Upon returning to the U.S., Lage was the featured chef at the James Beard House for three consecutive years.
Lage met his business partner, Rebecca Dudley, while working at Lansdowne Resort. Dudley’s command of the dining room as a front-of-house manager is the perfect balance to Lage’s mastery in the kitchen. The couple lives in Lovettsville with their dog, Apollo.

Lage is a staunch supporter of the farm-to-table concept and has developed personal relationships with the farmers and purveyors who supply the ingredients for Market Table Bistro.

Market Table Bistro’s local suppliers includes Quarter Branch Farm, Milcreek Farm and Dog Star Farm in Lovettsville; Oakland Green in Lincoln; Cherry Glen Farm in Boyds, Maryland; and Tiny Acre Farm in Unison.

Local vineyards supplying Market Table Bistro include Corcoran and 8 Chains North in Waterford; Notavia; Breaux; Catoctin Creek and North Gate Vineyards in Purcellville; Bluemont Vineyards; and Hiddencroft Vineyards in Lovettsville; as well as Catoctin Creek Distillery Spirits in Purcellville.
