<p>Hey guys, I'm visiting UCB this Wednesday, and I'm wondering what some of your favorite food places in the area are and what type of food they serve?</p>
<p>I like many different types of food, but I can't stand seafood tbh. </p>
<p>Anyway, if anybody has any suggestions, that would be great!</p>
<p>Cheeseboard on Shattuck Ave. Delicious thin crust pizza. They select one pizza for the day and serve just that one pie all day. It’s always vegetarian and always delicious :)</p>
<p>DD always brings visitors to Cheeseboard, Naan and Curry (Indian/Pakistani food) on Telegraph, Love at First Bite (cupcakes) on Walnut, and Ici (ice cream) on College.</p>
<p>Oh, and Tuk Tuk Thai on Shattuck.</p>
<p>I hate Naan and Curry :\ It’s bland and dry. Then again, being from the subcontinent and all, I’m probably biased.</p>
<p>Cheeseboard sounds excellent! Thanks inconnu and Schmoomcgoo! Love at First Bite and Ici also sound delicious. I’ll be sure to check out some of these, if not all.</p>
<p>inconnu: agreed on naan and curry sucking. most inauthentic **** ive tasted in my life.</p>
<p>i happen to like the thai noodle place on telegraph-cant seem to remember its name though and dont know how popular it is compared to cheeseboard.</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.ajantarestaurant.com/[/url]”>http://www.ajantarestaurant.com/</a> not really close but worth the trip</p>
<p>Thai House 2.</p>
<p>Thanks Batman, I’ll look into Thai House 2 as well.</p>
<p>If parents will be joining/paying…then…I agree with rider…Ajanta Restaurant-best Indian Restaurant in the Bay Area, IMHO…Chez Panisse on Shattuck is world famous-make reservations [Chez</a> Panisse Restaurant](<a href=“http://www.chezpanisse.com%5DChez”>http://www.chezpanisse.com)</p>
<p>Top Dog, if you’re looking for something super quick. There are multiple locations, google it. Very quick/cheap, authentic delish hot dogs.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>[Flavors</a> of India - Rockridge - Berkeley, CA](<a href=“http://www.yelp.com/biz/flavors-of-india-berkeley]Flavors”>http://www.yelp.com/biz/flavors-of-india-berkeley)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Unless you’re ****faced, no.</p>
<p>OP, you should make your way down College Avenue into the Rockridge area. Some of the best restaurants in the area.</p>
<p>Leftist, I was born and raised in South India and I think Naan and Curry is horrible 
But to each his own. </p>
<p>OP, if you want something quick, try Smart Alec’s on Telegraph Ave. Their corn bread is beyond worldly limitations, and their corn chowder is the best I’ve had. Their burgers/sandwiches are pretty good too.</p>
<p>PS. If anyone knows better corn chowder than what’s served at Smart Alec’s, please let me know. I’m a huge fan of corn chowder.</p>
<p>La Mediterranee on college is great for mediterranean.</p>
<p>If you want some good, cheap pasta
Milanese Cafe on Telegraph is really gooood</p>
<p>The food around Cal is pretty mediocre and you’re pretty screwed if you’re not into Asian or Indian food. With that said, I’d recommend Gypsy’s Italian restaurant.</p>
<p>For dinner:</p>
<p>Italian - Trattoria La Siciliana on College Avenue - Best Italian Food I have ever tasted, everything on the menu is good.</p>
<p>Thanks for all of the amazing suggestions guys! The Italian places sound really good right now. </p>
<p>@ Firapina: I may just have to go there if it really is as good as you say. I’m trying to get the full day experience up in Berkeley, so I want the food selection preplanned and the best of the best. Trattoria La Siciliana, and as Catalysis mentioned above, Milanese Cafe both sound great.</p>
<p>breakfast: king pin
lunch: thai basil
dinner: cheeseboards (or blondies if your in a rush)</p>
<p>I’d go to Sufficient Grounds on Durant just west of Telegraph for the sandwiches. I always get the rosemary garlic chicken on either honey wheat or foccacia with a side of potato salad for $7.50. The free donuts by the cash register are also pretty cool. :]</p>
<p>If you want gourmet French food for cheap ($10-15), try Gregoire on Cedar ([Welcome</a> to Gregoire Restaurant](<a href=“http://www.gregoirerestaurant.com/]Welcome”>http://www.gregoirerestaurant.com/)). The menu changes every month, and it’s worth trying out.</p>
