• Contemporary American • Oakland

Recommended in the MICHELIN Guide for California 2021-2023. Located in Oakland’s historic Grand Lake District, Bardo is a neighborhood lounge and restaurant inspired by the comfort and camaraderie of a mid-century dinner party. Drawing on the celebration and elegance of old school entertaining, we envisioned a space for friends and neighbors to enjoy amazing food, cocktails, conversation and great music. Our lounge is a swank living room, furnished with hand-picked finds from antique and vintage markets from Palm Springs to Portland. Our mezzanine dining room features a rotating menu of fresh, seasonal supper-fare with local and sustainably sourced meats, fish and produce. While we think the food, drinks and atmosphere are all great reasons to visit us, it’s the relationships with our friends, neighbors and guests that is the driving force behind Bardo.

    We were warmly greeted at the door and shown to a comfortable table by a window. Someone came immediately to get us started with the menu which included an extensive beverage list. We ordered the halibut seviche and a pasta. Both were yummy. We will be back.! Next time we’ll try their burgers!

    Tasting menu with beverages on weeknight. We went with high expectations and the experience went beyond. A wide range of food and flavors were impressively creative and amazingly delicious, even simpler sides like smoked carrots were beautifully done. Great beverage pairing as well, what a craft with fig leaf infused cocktail. Special note is the restaurant felt spacious and each table got comfortable space in between. Thanks for that. The service team was attentive, pleasant and knowledgeable.
