I had lunch here recently and was able to sit outside. The ambiance of 4th Street was great and not intrusive and we avoided the noise of the hard surfaces inside. The porchetta sandwich was first rate and the potatoes that accompanied it were some of the best I have ever had. I can't wait to go back. This comes... More

Very Good Paris Bistro in Berkeley...Great moist and flavor-packed rotisserie chicken (just like that which is sold in the Parisian markets), excellent house made charcuterie plate, wonderful wild and fresh salads, and very good wines by the glass or bottle. Most ingredients are local and organic. Place was packed with happy dinners. We will happily go back. More

What a great restaurant, with seating outside, at the bar, and lovely tables upstairs and downstairs. Great service, very attentive with a knowledgeable staff. Full bar with expert bartenders and a fresh meat market. The steaks and the hamburger are a joy. Bar menu is generous and imaginative. More

Nice surprise to find Cafe Rouge in a fun part of Berkeley on 4th st. You can take a stroll after or before the meal to make nice part of your day. The food was eclectic and nicely priced. I had the Pork Pot Pie that was really yummy with a flaky and not too heavy crust on top over... More

worth the stop! great service with really healthy food. We sat outside in January - beautiful location with a lot to do on 4th Stree. More

This 4th street Berkeley oasis is a great place for people watching and usually good French food. The bar is terrific, and the attached meat market offers rare finds. The oysters are always fresh, and the daily wine chalkboard offers treats you cannot find elsewhere. The food varies by your selection. The sausage on a french baguette is always good,... More
