Guidebook for Berkeley
Food Scene
One of our favorite restaurants in Berkeley. Delicious Mexican and cocktails. Comal can get very busy, but you can typically find a spot at the bar inside or at the bar out back on their patio. If you have to wait for a table, you can always enjoy a cocktail and some chips, salsa, and guacamole (delicious!) next to the fire pit on the patio.

Romantic and classy dinner spot if you're looking for a "splurge" night out. Reservations are definitely recommended. Dining at their Cafe is equally as lovely, and can be easier to get into and also a little gentler on the bank account.

No frills, amazing French food. This small walk-up shop only has seating outside or you can take a quick walk and find a grassy spot on the Cal Berkeley Campus to enjoy your meal. Believe you can still BYOB if sitting outside. Great for pre-concert dining if you're seeing at show at the Greek.
