Berkeley Restaurant Week

As the birthplace of the farm-to-table movement, it’s no surprise that Berkeley embraces its Restaurant Week with open arms. Dine at some of the best spots in the country for a reasonable price: $20 for prix fixe lunch and $25 or $35 for dinner. This year, try experimental Oaxacan dishes at Comal, which SFGATE calls a “study in excellence,” or vegetarian-friendly meets nose-to-tail cuisine at Gather, dubbed by the New York Times as “the solution to the omnivore’s dilemma.” Insider tip: Check @VisitBerkeley on Instagram for a chance to win certificates to participating restaurants.
