THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Delicacy Restaurant Review:


Just beyond Berkeley’s gourmet ghetto popularized by Chez Panisse, the Cheese Board and Bar César is a lesser-known North Berkeley gourmet which includes a fine fish shop, a butcher, a fantastic produce market and this lively and modern delicatessen. The bright, cleanly designed room is sparsely decorated, but that just helps you focus on what’s important...the food. At the entrance is the espresso bar and pastry case. Filled with croissants, tarts and chocolate-filled pastries, it is the perfect place for a morning pick-up to take to the office or a friend’s house. The savory deli case offers an array of sandwiches, from crisp-crust panini and gourmet sandwiches to traditional turkey--and--Swiss cheese or roast beef on rye. Big platters are filled with fresh gazpacho soup, potatoes au gratin, curried chicken salad and fresh, roasted chicken. A freezer-full of house made items are ready to pick up to help make dinner at home, like chicken and beef stock, hearty soups, pasta sauces and pastas. Shiny baker’s racks are loaded up with crackers, imported oils and vinegars, jams and coffee. Plenty of local wines share shelf space with beautiful cookbooks.
