Bite into the best of Berkeley!

There’s no time like the present to bring together friends and family for a night out. With over 25 restaurants participating in Berkeley’s 5th annual Restaurant Week, offering three-course lunch menus for $20 and dinner menus for $25 or $35, there’s plenty of dining options sure to please a variety of palates, and your wallet.

On our 2nd video for #BRW17, we take you to three more neighborhood restaurants that serve up some of the best bites anywhere.

We start at Downtown Berkeley’s Gather Restaurant where co-founder Eric Fenster takes us through the restaurant’s unique design, and Executive Chef Charis Wahl, shares what’s on the special menu.

Next, we land in the Lorin District for Jess McCarter’s quirky, Creole-Cajun hybrid, Easy Creole. We close out at West Berkeley’s intimate La Marcha Tapas Bar with Chef / owners Sergio Emilio Monleón and Emily Sarlatte.

Make reservations and dig in!
