Le Bateau Ivre

2629 Telegraph Ave
Berkeley, CA 94704
Phone: (510) 849-1100
Best Neighborhood Bistro in the Bay Area
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

07/07/2007 Posted by roofus

Le Bateau Ivre -- This place is the greatest gem in the Bay Area. Food is excellent. But the ambience is what makes it special -- very continental and Bohemian -- like a neighborhood bistro in France. This isn't a restaurant experience -- it's family. Very comfortable furnishings like a country farmhouse. We've been coming here since it opened in the 70's. Our favorite place to go with friends or to be alone. On Mondays they feature live music at 7 pm Like a caberet/dining experience. Breakfast is inventive as well as traditional, fare is light but satisfying. Ingredients are fresh. Check it out!

Pros: Ambience. Food.

Cons: Don't go if you're in a hurry
