This year’s Restaurant Week in Berkeley promises yet another collection of global flavors and local treasures. After all, you never fail to sample the local fare at your destination every time you travel.

With Berkeley’s annual weeklong event, you don’t need a passport or a pricey ticket to go on a gastronomic adventure. You can take your pick from the array of international cuisines on offer or taste the distinct California cuisine.

A Different Cuisine Every Night

During Restaurant Week, participating establishments offer prix fixe menus, with different rates for lunch and dinner. From the fixed rate menus, you can choose an appetizer, an entrée, and a dessert. Some restaurants, however, may provide you with more courses and more items.

The culinary celebration is an opportunity for you to sample what the dining scene is like in the area. You can taste the unique culinary offerings of participating restaurants. You can eat at different establishments every night for the entire week. Or you can choose to go to the same spots, discovering your favorites.

You can take a table-side tour of global cuisines or enjoy California cuisine without paying a hefty price every night.

But the Restaurant Week is not just a gustatory treat for diners. It is also a remarkable way for Berkeley chefs to present sumptuous signature menus. It is an opportunity to introduce local diners, weekenders, and tourists to their kind of food.

Prepared by the area’s most talented chefs and presented by the most creative restaurateurs, this year’s Restaurant Week will deliver great dining experiences.
