We had a fantastic time on our edible excursion with Emunah. She gave us great incite and background on the area, the evolution of the food movement in berkeley as well as the specific restaurants and stops that we made. The food that was served was very good (and large portions) leaving us full from the visit. You walk about a mile on and around Shattuck between Hearst and Vine. We stopped at Agrodolce, Saul's, Peet's (the original store), Soop, Alegio Chocolate, The local butcher ship and Gregiore. A great mix of treats and hearty sandwiches and (as stated above) great details and background! We will do this again and try some of their other walking tours!

Wow!! What a great way to experience the different foods of the aptly named "gourmet ghetto" - even if the locals don't call it that - that name still fits!! This is our second time on this tour - we brought our out of town friends to enjoy the food tour - so happy that it was even better than I had described to them. You will go home with a full belly of some very delicious foods - and knowledge of the neighborhood too! Our guides Lisa and Joshua made the day so enjoyable. Can't wait to do a different tour next time.

Our guide Emunah taught us so much about all the gems which are in the Berkeley Gourmet Ghetto. We were completely stuffed but everything was so good that I had to keep sampling. In the course of just a few blocks, we tried everything from the best pastrami sandwich ever, to potato puffs, pasta, wine, cheese, pizza and chocolates. Great tour and great tour guide. Good as an introduction to the area or just because you want to indulge in some good food.
