About

La Note is a beloved French Provençal-inspired bistro that has been serving the Berkeley community since 1997. Nestled in the heart of downtown Berkeley, La Note was created by French native Dorothée Mitrani aiming to capture the warmth, charm, and relaxed spirit of her Southern France roots. Our menu celebrates the simple elegance of Provençal cuisine, featuring fresh, seasonal ingredients and house-made dishes prepared with care. From our signature breakfasts and leisurely brunches to our flavorful lunches, every meal reflects our passion for authentic French hospitality.

​

For nearly three decades, La Note has become a cherished gathering place for neighbors, students, families, and visitors from around the world. Our inviting dining room and tranquil garden patio offer a welcoming atmosphere where guests can slow down, connect, and savor the experience of sharing good food. More than a restaurant, La Note is a Berkeley tradition where community, friendship, and the timeless flavors of Provence come together to create lasting memories.
