Good, authentic cuisines from around the world
For the most eclectic mix of Oakland restaurants, visit the Grand Lake neighborhood, where you can sample everything from local specialties to high-end Mediterranean cuisine, and cuisine ranging from Italian to Mexican to Thai. The Piedmont Avenue neighborhood is a foodie’s delight, and West Oakland has many good restaurants with a more homey feel. Oakland’s vibrant Latino community can be found in Fruitvale - here’s where you can also find the best Mexican food in the Bay Area. And for Asian food, to get the real essence of “Chinatown,” Oakland is your best bet.
