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.

Dined on 19 Nov 2024
Last week I brought my friend to celebrate her birthday. It was our first . From the time we got there, the service was excellent. The staff were extremely attentive. We both had the $55 all you can eat meat. Everything we ate was wonderful. The side dishes were also delicious. I loved the way they carved the meats right at at our table and we both enjoyed all the steaks medium rare. The lamb chops, also medium rare; was excellent. Everything we ate was well seasoned. Because it was my friends birthday, they gave her a free dessert which we shared. I’ve already made reservations for this coming Friday. Best lunch ever!! A meat lovers dream.
