The best Ethiopian in the East Bay. Our favorite date night is dinner at Romanat followed by a movie at the Grand Lake. Throw in a stroll around the lake if you like romance, but NOT after dark.

The tri-tipBrazil Cafe is great, and this is their quirkiest location. Then, walk up the Ohlone Greenway to where BART comes out of the ground and there's a community garden that is a Berkeley gem.
