• Contemporary American • Oakland
Booked 22 times today
Recommended in the MICHELIN Guide for California 2021-2025. 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.

Revered as more than just a means of cooking, smoke represents a prayer or offering to the spirits.Popoca is a mix of heritage and play. Our food is driven by preserving past, creating something new and uniquely Oakland. After years of pop-ups, Popoca has its own digs in the Old Oakland neighborhood, where the pupusas, chicken with fermented pineapple sauce, and other Cali-Salvadoran specialties are happily devoured.

    The waitstaff is friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. The branzino (whole fried fish) is the star of the menu in my opinion. The cocktails are yummy! The coconut rice with vegetables (May 2026 menu item) is a WOW dish.

    I order the crispy shrimp every time. So flavorful! This time I brought a friend and She chose the paella with chicken. Also delicious. Great purple drink. Can’t recall the name but very good. No room for dessert this time, but that’s good too. Easygoing but prompt service. One of my favorite restaurants in Oakland !

    I’ve been to Bardo twice now and it’s been great each time. I’ve sat in both the dining space and at the bar. Service is great at both spots. I brought out of town guests the second time and they really enjoyed the decor, music, mood, drinks and food.
