In the vibrant East Bay region, a plethora of dining options await food enthusiasts. From the bustling streets of Walnut Creek to the picturesque town of Lafayette, here's a roundup of some must-visit restaurants that cater to various tastes and occasions.
Starting in Walnut Creek, Original Joe's, the new Bay Area icon, offers a unique dining experience with its big booths, two patios, and a temporary closure due to a minor kitchen fire. The Dead Fish, a waterfront classic with a strange name but delightful crab feasts and Carquinez Strait views, is another popular choice. For those seeking a taste of Greece, Elia serves up Greek-Mediterranean plates, live music, and late hours, making it an ideal spot for prime-time Fridays and Saturdays.
Moving towards Lafayette, The Hideout Kitchen stands out with its cozy ambiance, outdoor patio (heated for those chilly evenings), and a diverse menu offering California comfort food. Lunch, happy hour, dinner, weekend brunch, and even weekday happy hours are on the menu here. Batch & Brine, a crowd-pleaser known for its burgers, shareables, and cocktail list, is another popular spot. Shawn G. of Pacheco is a fan of their offerings, and weekend brunch is particularly popular.
For those craving Mexican flavours, Cantina Jack's, a newer addition to the scene, offers margaritas, a party vibe, and an inviting patio setting. Tropa, in Lafayette, serves Filipino flavors, with dinner service on Wednesdays through Saturdays and Sunday brunch.
In the nearby town of Orinda, Casa Orinda is a local legend, known for its fried chicken and Old West décor that offers a taste of East Bay nostalgia. It has a dinner-only schedule Wednesday through Sunday and is BART-adjacent. Terry M. from Alhambra Valley highly recommends it.
Lastly, Marie-Eve W. von Endriss, who was looking for a trendy/cute spot in Walnut Creek or Lafayette, found her pick in The Dead Fish, as recommended by Gena J. from Ridgeview. Social Bird Kitchen & Bar, a lively Restaurant Row staple, is also a favourite for Moms' Nights Out and parent gatherings for local schools.
