Food Recommendations

UC Berkeley and the surrounding area offer a diverse range of dining options to satisfy any craving or budget. Whether you're looking for a quick bite between classes, a late-night snack, or a sit-down meal with friends, there's something for everyone.

<aside> 💭 In my opinion, the campus dining halls aren’t great, but if I were to recommend one, Clark Kerr is the best (but farther!)
