The Commentators:

 We wish to thank the following people for their assistance in preparing this guide. How much
you trust their opinions is, of course, a matter of taste.


A note on the Claremont:

The only restaurant outside the hotel within a half mile is The Station
(see American Short), about one block down Ashby from the hotel. A bakery,
a produce store, and a liquor store (Jackson's-- also claims to sell deli
food) are in the same general area. AC Transit bus #65 goes to/from
southside and downtown Berkeley; it stops on Domingo in front of the
bakery (fare is 25\(ct).

A note on the drought:


 Restaurants in the Bay Area will only serve you water if you ask for it.

 place to sit outside and watch the plaza below. [BWC

The Cafeteria Downstairs near the Student Union
 (OC,lunch only)
 Still no. [BE

 BE

The Cheshire Cat 1839 Euclid Ave. 845-8707
 Cheap American-Chinese food. Go to Dynasty across
 the street [WJS π \(bu π Buy the Luncheon special if you're in
 a hurry [MCU π \(bu π Ugh  [RMK π \(bu π Menu OK, steam
 table trash.  [EMG

Caf \(aa es

caf \(aa e au lait, and usually sell baked goods to go
with coffee. More ambitious fare served where
noted.

Delis

 Warning: If you are from NY any of
these will be extremely disappointing [WJS




Curds and Whey 6311 College 652-6311
 Expensive, overly impressed with themselves. [BE


French, Continental

Ice Cream, Dessert

The Frozen Yogurt Store (SS,TO)
 Good, but Blimpies has Dreyer's (which is much
 better). [BE

Swenson's 1854 Euclid (NS,TO) 841-6374 \(sq 2530
 Durant (SS,TO) 845-8544
 Prices a mite steep, but many exotic selections. I prefer it
 to Baskin Robbins. Try Swiss orange chip.  [RJF π \(bu π The
 only ice cream stores with the Leslie Singer stamp of
 approval. [BE

Old Uncle Gaylord's 2566 Telegraph (late night,SS) 845-
 7087 \(sq 1549 Hopkins (late night,SS) 526-2109
 Eh. [BE π \(bu π You have to like all-natural ingredients
 in order to like this type of ice cream. No stabilizers, higher
 butterfat, "homemade". It grows on you.  [BWC

Bott's 2977 College (TO) 848-3578
 Unpretentious. Low prices. Try bittersweet chocolate,
 fresh lemon. [RJF π \(bu π This is the best ice cream in
 Berkeley. [HRK π \(bu π No it's not. [LMS

Good Times 2430 Durant Ave (SS) 848-6470
 Serves Bud's ice cream, which is produced in San Fran-
 cisco and shipped over. I think it's good, but Leslie doesn't
 agree..... [BE

Dreyer's 5929 College (late night) 655-8187
 Invented Rocky Road ice cream (although Swenson's
 R.R. is better). They make really good frozen yogurt (try the
 blueberry). [BE π \(bu π A sit-down parlor. The closest to the
 Claremont except for Baskin-Robbins. Well-made sundaes,
 splits, shakes, etc.  [BWC

The Ice Creamery Downstairs at the Student Union
 (lunch only,OC)
 Prices are as good as Botts; although larger selection,
 servings are smaller. Get dessert here if you are in the area
 and in the mood.  [RJF

McCallum's 1825 Solano Ave. 525-3751
 Good for large groups.  [EMG

Fenton's 4226 Piedmont Ave., Oakland (late night-
 midnight) 658-4948
 They have great hot fudge sundaes. [BWC π \(bu π As in
 "large": sundaes guaranteed to be unfinishable.  [BE

Ortman's 1799 Solano 526-9830
 Not worth a special trip, but if you are shopping on
 Solano and need a place to stop for lunch, it is a clean place
 with simple well-prepared sandwiches. Good for kids.  [RJF

Eclair Pastries 2468 Telegraph 848-4221
 Other shops come and go on the Avenue, but the Eclair
 has earned permanence. No ice cream, just cookies, cakes,
 pies .... [BWC

Indonesian

Indonesia Village 2006 9th 841-9667
 Too little food for too much money [WJS

Places for Pizza

Pizza Haven 2440 Bancroft Way (SS,late night) 843-8476
 Used to be good, but no more.  [EMG

Arinell Pizza 2109 Shattuck (DT,TO) 841-4035 \(sq
 2513 Dwight Way (SS,TO) 841-7171
 Truly excellent pizza. No seating [WJS π \(bu π They have
 Sicilian and Neopolitan style pizza. The Sicilian with cheese
 only was delectably crusty, but oddly lacked real taste. [BWC

Carolina (SS,TO)
 Like Arinell's. [BWC π \(bu π But not as good.  [EMG

Salerno (DT-see Italian)
 Pizza very good [PL π \(bu π Pizza okay [BWC, BE

Pirro's (DT-see Italian)
 Pizza greasy, spicy, gooey  [BWC

Caf \(aa e Romano (see Italian)
 Pizza is about as good as you can get east of the
 Hudson. [MCU π \(bu π Good pizza, but on the greasy side. [
 BWC

LaVal's (NS-see Italian)
 Pizza is about as good as you can get on Euclid ave. [
 MCU π \(bu π Not recommended. [BE π \(bu π The pizza at Caffe
 Espresso is (was) better. Too expensive [BWC

Albatross Caf \(aa e 6321 College 655-3766
 Not very good [WJS

Pizza Man 2366 San Pablo 849-2884
 (free delivery in Berkeley and Albany)

Leaning Tower of Pizza 1160 University 548-6750
 (Delivery within 3 miles.) π \(bu π Excellent (i.e. best after
 Arinells) [WJS

New Sunshine 3891 Piedmont Ave 658-5888
 Delicately flavored sauce makes the difference.  [CP


Sandwiches

Blimpies 2576 Bancroft Way (SS) 848-4745
 This is a franchise, but you may not have seen others.
 Specializing in long soggy-bread type hero or sub (or blimp, I
 suppose) sandwiches, having several kinds of sauce, onions,
 plus choice of meats, cheeses. If you are hungry for starch.
 Strangely enough, they also serve pastries, espresso, Italian
 soft drinks, and a variety of nice things. Presumably for the
 evening crowd. The sandwiches would probably ruin your
 palate for 2 hours.  [RJF π \(bu π The sandwiches can't com-
 pare with East Coast subs, but it's the only place near campus
 that attempts to make them ($1.50) [BWC π \(bu π Ignore the
 other disparaging remarks [the sandwiches are good and rea-
 sonably priced. Their desserts are made across the bay at Just
 Desserts, a deli that sells only that. Try the carrot cake (or the
 baklava, or their black bottom cupcakes, or the banana
 bread, or the frozen yogurt ......) [BE π \(bu π What BWC
 doesn't know is that it is an East Coast franchise. Blimps,
 even in the East, are rather unique. [MCU π \(bu π Now wait a
 minute Mike, I have been in Blimpies in the East. [BWC
