Grégoire Restaurant

Food is SO delicious. Everything is so well made, buns are perfectly crispy, the flavor combinations are perfection, and it always tastes SO good! Their pulled pork sandwich and garlic bread and soup are amazing. And you always feel amazing after eating their food (I don’t know how to explain it but you feel so healthy and you know the food is high quality and tastes so freshhh). It can be a bit pricy for the portions especially if you’re a big eater, but the taste and quality of the food makes it so worth it! Expect to pay like $16 for each item if you’re getting meat! Minimal seating, more of a killer takeout place! Probably one of the best (if not the best) places in Berkeley (in my humble opinion). Here’s half of my pulled pork sandwich which had avocado, tomatoes, cilantro, and a bit of onion and was so perfectly seasoned and spicy.

My fried chicken sandwich was very tasty with perfectly prepared, moist, tender chicken and a French roll. The customers at the tables outside all had potato balls and were raving about them, so I tried these with Parmesan. The sandwich portion was large enough I wasn’t able to eat more than one of the potato balls, which were good if you like fried mashed potato. (Not my thing.). The fries looked even better. There were many different vegetarian sandwich options, and all sandwiches were available as salads. The outdoor seating was limited but pleasant. On a bad weather day you’d have to grab and go as there is no indoor seating. The staff were friendly, the service was quick.

Not sure if I caught them on an off day or workers were in a rush because it was somewhat close to closing. Chicken was bland, potato balls were crisp and fluffy on the inside, but were also under seasoned. The provided sauce helped a little. Lastly, the lamb wrap. I typically like my burgers and burritos wet and sauced up. But it did not work for the lamb wrap. The wrap used was like 1-ply toilet paper, zero absorption power, and quickly disintegrated into one big soggy mess.
