Californian Cuisine: César
César España
1515 Shattuck Ave
Berkeley, CA
César is a Mediterranean-style restaurant that serves a delicious and diverse selection of Spanish tapas. It was founded by three Chez Panisse chefs, and is located right next to the acclaimed kitchen. I came here with my dad and sisters, because my father loves the open air atmosphere and the food is always stunningly flavorful.
