Venus

Venus features the best of our local foodshed, from local farms, waters and ranches, served in warm and lovely style in the heart of Downtown Berkeley. A favorite dinner spot for theater goers, Venus devotes itself to local and organic purveyors, creating delicious Northern California style dishes. The wine list focuses on bio-dynamic, and sustainably farmed grapes, and a "New World" style of wine-making, where the fruit expresses itself. An open kitchen and banquette seating create a cozy vibe. Chef Amy Murray is a 15 year veteran of the organic, farm-to-table movement.
Menus are created each month to highlight the best of the season and evoke good appetites.
Venus also serves a unique brunch and lunch, and offers uncommonly good beer, wine and light cocktails.
We are happy to do small parties and buy outs, and tasty lunch catering.
