Picante

The Picante dining room and outdoor patio has a fresh look. 👀

There’s more space, better flow, indoor/outdoor energy, art on the walls, and room to settle in for a real meal.

Picante has always been an easy place for takeout and curbside pickup, but we also want the dining room and patio to feel like a place where you can slow down, meet a friend, bring the family, or stay a little longer than planned.

Join us for lunch, dinner, or a long hang.

Picante has been part of Berkeley for 33 years.

A lot has changed in that time; the restaurant has changed, the neighborhood has changed, the way people eat, order, gather, and spend time together has changed, too.

And the heart of Picante is still the same: good food, generous hospitality, and a place that feels easy to come back to.

Whether you’ve been coming in for decades or you’re just getting to know us, we’re glad you’re here.

Come in and see what’s new.
