Berkeley: Gregoire
One of my favorite places in Berkeley is Gregoire:
Even though it's a bit out of the way, I would trudge through rain to get some of these potato puffs:
The menu changes every month at Gregoire, but potato puffs remain a constant. $4.50 for 10 fried balls of mashed potato with aioli (which changes with the menu)...mmMMmm.
The rest of the menu can be a little on the pricey side, but everything is well-thought out, made with locally-grown ingredients, and delicious. Seating at Gregoire consists of some stools at the counter inside where you can watch everything that goes on the small kitchen and two wooden picnic tables outside were you also can watch everything that goes on in the kitchen through the giant open window. No fancy cutlery here. Everything is served to-go in recyclable cardboard containers.
Love, love, love Gregoire.
I didn't realize the puffs were the only constant.
