Grégoire

On June 26, 2002, French-trained Chef/Owner Grégoire Jacquettransformed the tradition of carryout food by opening the first high-end artisan takeout restaurant – called GRÉGOIRE – just around the corner from the renowned Chez Panisse in the heart of Berkeley’s Gourmet Ghetto. Since its debut, GRÉGOIRE has become a dining hit with both restaurant critics and customers. Among its most popular items are the GRÉGOIRE Crispy Potato Puffs ($4.50), which have earned cult status around the Bay. San Francisco magazine featured the Puffs in its “The 125 Best Things to Eat” issue last May, East Bay Express critic Jonathan Kauffman has included them in his “Top Ten” list of favorite dishes, and 7×7 SF magazine made them an “Editor’s Pick,” among other accolades.
