Recommended in the MICHELIN Guide for California 2021-2023. 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.

Service was excellent and the food was amazing. Loved the coconut cakes. Very flavorful, even the vegan ones we had. The curry was spicy but not over the top and very flavorful. Loved the eggplant but wish the portion size was a bit larger. We ended up ordering a 2nd one. The drunken noodles were tasty, and they offered to put the spicy chili's on the side for the milder side of our group. Overall delicious and nice ambience.
