Gourmet Food in Berkeley

Since the 1970’s, the North Shattuck area of Berkeley has been popularly known as the “Gourmet Ghetto” because of its concentration of innovative restaurateurs and pioneering local businesses.

The North Shattuck Association was incorporated as a non-profit corporation to improve and promote the area and to administrate the property-based business improvement district (PBID) established in 2001. As the authority on things to do in Berkeley – from Boutique Shops, Art Galleries, Farmers Market and the best Gourmet Food Establishments – give the North Shattuck Association a call today at (510)883-3834

The “Gourmet Ghetto” is home to world-renowned Chez Panisse Restaurant, which is considered as the cradle of California cuisine. Other top local businesses include the original Peets Coffee & Tea, the collectively owned Cheeseboard bakery and cheese shop, and Cesar, a lively tapas restaurant and bar.
