Bar Marta is a new restaurant located in Humboldt Park that aims to provide diners with an escape from the outside world through thick curtains on the windows. The chef, Jeff Pikus, previously worked at several Hogsalt Hospitality restaurants and focuses on sophisticated yet comforting global cuisine made with local ingredients. Dishes include smoked eggplant spread, a salad with farro and lentils, and a half chicken roasted with paprika and served with bread soaked in pan drippings. The desserts and cocktails complement the meals without disconnecting between savory and sweet.
