A fresh take on Turkish cuisine takes root in West Berkeley

Divan, a new Turkish restaurant in West Berkeley, delivers on some of the cuisine’s greatest hits: pides (“Turkish pizza”), pomegranates and pistachios, plus the passion for grilled meats and eggplant, Turkey’s most beloved vegetable. But, Divan does it in a sleek, contemporary, spacious room with a full bar, without the museum-like displays of ceramics and rugs other Turkish restaurants in the Bay Area often lean on for decor.

Healdsburg’s Michelin-Starred Troubadour Featured in Apple TV’s “Knife Edge”

Healdsburg’s Troubadour Bread & Bistro is getting some serious screen time in an Apple TV documentary series executive produced by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay. That may be surprising for a neighborhood sandwich shop. But Troubadour has a second identity: At night, it transforms into an intimate fine-dining restaurant. And that’s only part of the story.

Oakland’s Tiniest Bakery Gears Up for a Big Thanksgiving

One of the Bay Area’s tiniest and most beloved bakeries is hidden away, literally underground, in an Oakland basement. If it weren’t for the customers who routinely line up on the sidewalk outside, most people wouldn’t ever guess that Gregory’s Gourmet Desserts even exists. “Only two persons inside at a time,” the sign taped to the door stipulates. Once you step inside, the reason for the rule becomes self-evident: The bakery can’t hold much more than that. Not “so much a store as it is a storage nook,” as I wrote after my first visit back in 2014.

Japan’s Favorite Boutique Winery in Berkeley Throws a Japanese Pop-Up Party

Broc Cellars didn’t necessarily set out to become one of Japan’s favorite Bay Area wineries. But in 2018, a surprise appearance in the popular wine manga The Drops of God propelled the tiny, Berkeley-based natural winemaker to newfound celebrity status. Soon, Japanese oenophiles were buying up almost as many bottles of Broc’s Vine Starr Zinfandel, the specific wine featured in the manga, as the winery could produce. Today, Broc sells merch with the phrase “Got Grapes?” written in Japanese katakana characters. And travelers from Japan routinely make a special pilgrimage to the winery’s West Berkeley tasting room, eagerly snapping photos and, of course, buying a bottle or two at the source.

Cliff House Name Finally Returns Home, but SF Landmark Still Sits Empty

The name Cliff House is finally back where longtime San Franciscans feel it belongs. Dan and Mary Hountalas, who ran the cliffside institution for decades, donated the restaurant’s name and all its associated trademarks to a local nonprofit just days before November 10, 2025 — but the landmark building itself at 1090 Point Lobos Ave. remains empty, with no confirmed date for anyone to walk back through its doors.
