The 10 Best Food & Drink in Berkeley, California (CA)

February 19, 2022 Roger Rusk

The counter-culture, flower power center of the 60s, bohemian Berkeley has evolved into a culinary and cultural travel scene. Shift into low gear and people-watch along quirky Telegraph Avenue while checking out the bookstores and cafes. After strolling through the UC Berkeley campus, the Berkeley Rose Garden and the Downtown Arts District, head into the hills for an outdoor adventure in Tilden Park or cruise down to the waterfront park, where the San Francisco skyline sparkles across the bay.

Monterey Market

Reviewed By 441peggyw - Saint Paul, United States

Monterey Market has had the freshest, most flavorful produce around. During citrus season, they carry a large range of options for your table. They have the largest range of mushrooms I’ve seen anywhere. If you are curious about trying some different produce, this is the place. I have always found staff to ge very helpful.

As we arrived to the building, you get the immediate scent of Sake being made. We are then invited to see a film on the process of how Sake is made. The museum shows the equipment used from the early 19th century. The tasting room attendant Mariko was very helpful explaining the various products they represent. We left having a tremendous appreciation for this incredible beverage that goes backs many centuries. This is a very diversified beverage.
