Invite a friend and spend an incredible day in Berkeley.

First, you and your companion will wine and dine for lunch at the renowned Chez Panisse cafe.

This ecologically friendly restaurant is a homage to the sentiment, comedy and informality of Marcel Pagnol's 1930's trilogy of movies (Marius, Fanny, and Cesar).

Chez Panisse has tried for years to make diners partake of the immediacy and excitement of vegetables just out of the garden, fruit right off the branch, and fish straight out of the sea.

After lunch, head over to the California Shakespeare Theater.
Founded in 1974, the Theater began as an artistic collective and has evolved into a fully professional theater known for its innovative productions of classic theater.


A hallmark of the Bay Area communities is the broad diversity of the people.
The Theater aims to bring diverse communities together around the creation of boldly imagined and deeply entertaining interpretations of Shakespeare's plays, fresh rediscoveries of important works of World Theater, and new works inspired by classic literature.

Theatre and fine dining - the perfect combination.
