Best Restaurants in Piedmont Avenue
20 restaurants analyzed · San Francisco Bay Area
Piedmont Avenue is one of Oakland's strongest dining destinations, with a concentration of quality that makes it worth crossing town for, particularly if you're drawn to Japanese and California-inflected American cooking. The restaurants here skew towards the higher end of the price range, but the cooking tends to justify it, making the strip a reliable choice for a proper sit-down meal or a special occasion dinner. If you're coming by car, the avenue itself is easy to navigate, and the tight cluster of restaurants means you can walk between options without much effort.
