Emeryville

While Emeryville is a short commute to San Francisco, there is no need to leave when looking for good dining and entertainment. Trader Vic’s is a bar and restaurant with a constantly growing menu specializing in Asian fare. The Indonesian Rack of Lamb with BBQ pineapple is a local favorite, along with the Wood Fired Scallops marinated in coconut aminos and ginger. The restaurant also offers a private dining experience for those who want to book the location.
 
Rudy’s Can’t Fail Cafe is a local restaurant with a wide-variety menu and a fun atmosphere. Unlike Trader Vic’s, Rudy’s Can’t Fail Cafe focuses on breakfast and lunch. Their menu has traditional favorites like a meatloaf sandwich and cheesy macaroni. The Cafe also hosts trivia contests for patrons.
 
For any meal, Honor Kitchen and Cocktails is a must-go for those in Emeryville. They have a wide-variety menu, including building your own pizza and countless specialty drinks to choose from. Honor Kitchen and Cocktails has a fabulous brunch. The blueberry Lemon Ricotta Beignets are as delectable as a dessert. The Dungeness Crab Benedict is another local favorite. Either will pair perfectly with the Jameson & the Giant Peach cocktail made with ginger-infused Jameson apricot liqueur with hints of lime and peach. Honor Kitchen can also be rented out for parties or other private dining needs.
