Oakland and Berkeley’s Restaurant Weeks begin Jan. 14 and run through the end of the month. Over 100 restaurants across the region are participating this year.
The newest addition to the Elmwood district of Berkeley offers a mostly successful melding of California ingredients and Mediterranean sensibilities. That, and delicious cocktails.
It’s been two years in the making, but the new restaurant from the guys who brought us Comal is finally open, and we predict it’s going to prove just as popular.
There’s plenty of food news in this week’s Bites, including an update on 21st Amendment’s San Leandro brewery (opening soon!) and Elmwood’s The Advocate.
