East Bay Gourmet |
1782 4th Street Berkeley, CA 94710 United States +1 510 525 1440 http://www.caferouge.net |
Cafe Rouge, located in the heart of Berkeley's hoppin' 4th Street shopping district, is an East Bay institution. Foodies flock from far and wide for treats as simple as a cheeseburger and as complex as a Mediterranean-style lamb shank entree. Menu items are rotated in and out of circulation every couple weeks, so expect to see new and exciting things every time you visit. Shellfish fans marvel at the massive oyster selection (officially celebrated at the weekly Oyster Wednesday party). Cafe Rouge is also well known for the quality of its meats, all of which come from the finest local and regional producers, and many of which are available for takeaway at the on-site Meat Market (where you'll also find all manner of cured meats, pates, terrines and sausages). See website for menus, wine lists and more. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The one and only |
1517 Shattuck Avenue Berkeley, CA 94709-1516 United States +1 510 548 5525 / +1 510 548 5049 http://www.chezpanisse.com |
Few restaurants are known worldwide. Welcome to the jewel in Berkeley's culinary crown, the restaurant around which the famous Gourmet Ghetto has grown. Alice Waters opened this restaurant in 1971 in the hopes of marrying the best in international culinary skills with locally produced organic ingredients, all in the atmosphere of a friendly dinner party. She has more than succeeded. In this intimate setting of brick and wood, an upstairs cafe was opened to offer the delights and flavors of Chez Panisse with a more casual setting and more casual prices. The menu changes daily, but an example of dinner includes Oyster Bisque with Tomales Bay Oysters and Herb Croutons, Oregon Steelhead with Rose Butter, and Apple Jalousie Tart with Candied Orange Ice Cream. The wine list is extensive, featuring dozens and dozens of wines from almost as many countries. Bottles run from USD22 to several hundred. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Elegance in yellow |

Citron is a world of subtle yellow accents and brilliant food. Art Deco glass sconces adorn the yellow walls, with black and white prints that break up the monotony. The menu is a fusion of seafood and local ingredients, with styles that range from Spanish, French, Italian and American, making this place very Californian indeed. Try the Paella Citron with its generous shrimp and shellfish and perfectly spiced rice. Small plates include the Warm Artichoke Confit. The menu is subject to change seasonally, and specials appear daily. The wine selection features Napa Valley vintages. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Garlic braids and woven flasks |
5427 College Avenue Berkeley, CA 94618 United States +1 510 594 0798 |
Garlic wreaths and dried peppers hang in the windows. Bottles of Chianti and herb-infused olive oil sit on each table. This small, Italian bistro has 14 tables, opens for dinner only, and serves up delicious meals in a romantic setting. Find a nice selection of standard Italian fare and daily specials. Start off with the delicious Zuppa di Pomodora e Aglio, vegetable soup with crostini. Entrees include creative pasta dishes like the Fettucini Popalina and traditional meat dishes like Osso Bucco. Find a nice selection of Californian and Italian wines, but go for the house Chianti, which complements every dish. Review © 2007, Wcities |
