Café Rouge

Superb aged steaks, house-made charcuterie, and excellent fresh oysters are among the best things to eat at this always-reliable, comfortable, and airy Berkeley eatery. (There's a butcher shop on the premises, where you can choose from among 17 different sausages, salt-cured foie gras, and prime and choice meats.) We love the grilled spareribs, the steak frites, and the juicy burger. Choose a fresh fruit tart or a ripe cheese assortment to finish your satisfying repast.
