Le Bateau Ivre is a quaint and cozy French style home converted restaurant. The food is good and service is friendly.

Stunning throwback to a kinder, gentler era of slower food and drink, and nicer people, Le Bateau Ivre, has a purity of intention, that dates back to the culinary revolution of the 60’s and 70’s, and holds forth with a simple, almost rustic menu, especially in the breakfast department, where they really shine.

Really cute ambiance for brunch! The food was good, and it felt cozy, and the staff was warm and welcoming… they seemed mildly understaffed, but service was still efficient. Reasonably priced food for Berkeley, too.

Came here for lunch because the place looks super cute. We ordered the French onion soup, salmon cakes and bolognese (which was very recommended). The French onion soup was pretty standard and my friend has enjoyed. The salmon cakes and bolognese were unremarkable. I would not come again for the food, but the vibe is very cute and they have a lovely outdoor area.

It’s a romantic, cozy quiet place with excellent service and food. The menu is simple but good,nice atmosphere. I highly recommend. Reservation is not require but recommended. They have open bar a la cart and good selection of wines.

If you are in Berkeley Le Bateau Ivre should be in your dining plans. This is a perfect example of fine unpretentious elegant dining in the French fashion. The menu is simple and the meals are perfect. The restaurant is a late 1800s converted house with multiple cozy dining rooms with typical round table-clothed tables surrounded by an eclectic mix of period chairs. Outdoors is perfect patio dining with wrought iron tables with umbrellas.

Half of menu was Italian cuisine, and quality was much lower then expected. No balance, too salty. Probably restaurant was sold and they need a new staff and chef. Also we recorded rat just outside our window, which was looking for entrance through their side door…

The beef stew they had was out of this world. It was at a great spot on Telegraph ave and an unbelievable gentleman who helped us the whole time we were there. Most of the time I pass on deserts, but the flan was so delicious. The prices also made this a place to go back to. Try it out!
