Gregoire A
If you're a Berkeley student and have not yet tried Gregoire's- Berkeley's finest take out, you are no longer my friend. A little dramatic I know, but I'm begging you to take the trip to 2109 Cedar Street (at Shattuck) as soon as you get the chance. Open everyday- lunch 11 am to 4:30, dinner 4:30 to 9:00, this quaint take out place (two tables outside), is quintessential Berkeley, gourmet ghetto.
My lovely friend Jane and I just had lunch there a few hours ago. There was a buzz about the place, with folks waiting around the tables, looking directly into the kitchen where the chefs were busily prepping the meals. You could have a full on conversation with them if you wanted. The folks there are always friendly.
Even with a fresh menu every month, there are a few staples that are a MUST try- namely their crispy potato puffs ($4.25). Just imagine- perfect creamy mashed potatoes, coated in a light bread crumb, fried to perfection and served with a garlic/tomato aioli. You get 9 puffs total, so this is a great side dish to share with a friend.
I ordered the grilled chicken with fresh mozzarella & pesto in crispy lavash ($7.00). PERFECTION- the pesto was right on point, and the lavash was crispy and light, the mozzarella melted and the chicken tender. Jane opted for the grilled montana beef patty with spicy Indonesian sauce ($7.00). A mini pasta salad with gourmet cheeses accompanied each of our sandwiches. She liked my sandwich a bit more, but her dish was excellent nonetheless. Gregoire's trademark is their cute square box that all the dishes are served in.
I haven't tried dinner (i.e. du ngeness crab cake, baked maine pollock, grilled montana flank steak, grilled veal chop, baked polenta, etc...)yet, but prices range from $15.00-$17.75, or vegetarian items will put you back around $8.50. Desserts are $3.75 (coffee bread pudding, creme craamel, almond fold).
Because their menu is always changing, I suggest checking out their website at www.gregoirerestaurant.com
Be good to yourself and take a cute boy/girl to Gregoire's.
Til next time,
Melissa
