Chez Panisse
Where farm-to-table began. Alice Waters' Berkeley institution has shaped how America eats for 50 years, and the prix fixe still feels revolutionary.
What to Expect
Downstairs is the formal restaurant with a set menu that changes daily. Upstairs is the cafe - more casual, equally excellent.
The Tip
Book the downstairs restaurant for the full experience, but the upstairs cafe is easier to get into and nearly as good.
Who You'll Find
