The 16 Best Restaurants in Berkeley

"A pair of Chez Panisse alums opened tiny lunch counter spot Fava, just around the corner from the mothership in Berkeley. Yes, the aesthetic is there, but so is the flavor. Dine on flatbread sandwiches filled with spicy chicken, herbs, cabbage, yogurt, and harissa; pints of soup; and beautiful salads made with the Bay Area’s best produce, perfectly arranged. There’s nowhere to sit, really, so this is best eaten as a picnic in a Berkeley park or at home." - Dianne de Guzman
