Kartabar

My friend Natalie was in town recently, and she introduced me to this fun restaurant near Brown University called Kartabar. It's Mediterranean themed, but more a martini bar than anything. When she and I went there for drinks, I had this delicious plate of hummus with deep fried pita and three ridiculously amazing martinis.


I was so impressed that I told my boyfriend that we had to go there for dinner soon. The following week, we did. He ordered this poached pear/walnut/goat cheese/caramelized onion/golden raisin salad as a starter that was sweet and tart and just so yummy.



For my entree, I ordered this roasted vegetable wrap that was filled with artichoke hearts, red peppers and portabella mushrooms, with french fries that might've been beer battered. We couldn't tell. The sandwich was hard to eat like a sandwich because it was so juicy, so I ended up needing to use my silverware. It was scrumptious.

For his entree, Jason got this spinach, tomato and caramelized onion pizza. I never would've thought to get caramelized onions on a pizza, but since having this one, we've ordered it at another restaurant. It's a sweeter option than just plain onions, which I still don't like.


All in all, Kartabar made fans of both of us, and I'm sure we'll be going back again.
