Martha’s Café

Martha’s Café faces some stiff competition in its tucked-away location on Elliewood Avenue, off the Corner—it’s across the street from sorority girl-cum-Wahoo bar crawl mainstays Take It Away, the Biltmore Grill, and Buddhist Biker Bar—but it holds it own as a purveyor of reasonable meals just like Mom used to make, but with an exotic flair. We started with their artichoke dip, a gooey morass of cheesy deliciousness, before moving on to the main course, a Mediterranean quesadilla. A tortilla stuffed with goat cheese, herb chicken, tomato, and sprigs of cilantro, it’s one of those rare fusion dishes that’s more “you got chocolate in my peanut butter” than “black bean and corn sushi?” In other words, a match made in heaven.
