Marti's at Midday

Marti's at Midday on Prince Avenue in Normaltown has been feeding the Athens lunch crowd for over 20 years from a charming 100 year old house that feels like the most welcoming kitchen in the city. With nearly 480 reviews at 4.7 stars, the cafe has earned its place as one of the most beloved lunch spots in Athens, GA. The menu centers on sandwiches, fresh salads, and Marti's signature chicken salad, which comes in multiple flavors and has developed a following of its own. The salad plates and daily specials round out an offering that is fresh, well prepared, and portioned to satisfy without overwhelming. Everything is made with care, and the quality of the ingredients is evident in every bite. The charm of the space is a major part of the experience. Housed in a restored historic home on Prince Avenue, the cafe has a warmth and character that corporate lunch spots cannot replicate. The Normaltown location adds to the neighborhood feel, with a patio and a setting that invites you to slow down and enjoy the meal rather than rushing through it. Marti's is open Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 3:30 PM, closed on weekends. The cafe also operates a robust catering business that serves events seven days a week. The Prince Avenue location has parking available, and the restaurant handles the lunch rush with the efficiency of a team that has been doing this for two decades.
