Best European Restaurants in Berkeley

This is my boyfriend and I’s top date spot and The Matterhorn never disappoints. The food is always amazing and the service and staff are fantastic. One of our favorite restaurants in SF, couldn’t recommend enough!

Absolutely superb and stunning restaurant! The food is fantastic and the service is wonderful and attentive. The ambiance is so soothing and relaxing. It is a gem. We had a fantastic family reunion meal and it was so special. While we ate inside, the outdoor tented front of the restaurant looks extremely appealing as well. The bar is amazing- stocked to perfection! Reasonable for the level of fine dining Elia provides. We will be back!

RUN to eat here. The best meal I’ve had in SF after 7 years. Better than Quince, Rich Table, Osito, Earnest, Saison. I’m not even kidding and yes, I know those are different cusisines. The food is divine. Authentic French food and service (if they liked Americans).

We had apple gorgonzola salad, the soup special, and the Steelhead main. All beautifully prepared. This is our favorite restaurant in this area, just a lovely atmosphere!

I met up with three friends who live in the neighborhood (I work there, but live elsewhere) and we truly had a wonderful experience! We had flights of wine (paired with chocolates), then ordered glasses of the ones we most enjoyed and also shared a delicious charcuterie board among us. The staff was incredibly kind, thoughtful & went above and beyond multiple times to make us feel welcome and to create a delightful experience, filling the evening with treats and the best service I've had in awhile. This is going to be a regular go-to for us! Thank you all so much for a fabulous evening!
