Brunch near Moraga

April 2004

I am looking for suggestions for a restaurant in or around Moraga to go to after my daughter's graduation. We'll be going for brunch with her grandparents and aunts. Our only request is ''Great Food!'' Many Thanks!

For brunch in Moraga, I would recommend Ristorante Amoroma. I recently had my daughter's 1st communion brunch there on a Saturday. The service was friendly and attentive. We had 14 people, and I thought the prices were very reasonable. Another option would be Cafe Terzetto, also in Moraga. Sherry

Brunch after Baptism in Oakland

November 2002

We are baptizing our daughter in a couple of weeks at Our Lady of Lourdes Church on Lake Shore Avenue in Oakland. Does anyone know of a nice place in the area where we can have brunch for a party of about 10? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you, Penelope

There is a place on Lakeshore in the Starbucks/Spettro area called Meze (I think). They have a good brunch and would be really close. Not as close but really good is the Purple Plum, I think they have started a brunch. Kean

Rolling Dune on Lakeshore. Crepes/omelettes and pastas. lots of high chairs. roomy. self service. Good homefries and tastey crepes. Autumn moon: A bit fancier, table service. great hungarian coffee cake and baked goods. egg dishes. You will need reservations. It's on grand just up from safeway. Tins Tea house 7th and Webster. Dimsum. A bit of a hike. But great prices and great dim sum at a good price. kid friendly. You'll be able to get a nice big round table. they take reservations. Jessica

You don't say what day of the week the baptism is. If it's on a Sunday, I've heard that Mezze on Lakeshore (near Mandana) has a nice brunch. I know some parents who have taken their infants there with them. I haven't done it myself. It is a nice place, fairly pricey for dinner, I'm not sure what the brunch price is. The food I've had at dinner has been very good. Lisa

Try Mezze on Lakeshore Avenue for brunch. The food is good with a decent selection (different kinds of omelettes, pancakes, french toast, and a couple of specialties), prices reasonable (between $6-$12, and it has a nice atmosphere. I've seen parties there the times I've had brunch there. anon

I don't know if Lynn and Lu's on Grand near the coffee mill would make plans for a private party, but they do have a good brunch. anon

Mezze on Lakeshore (3407 Lakeshore). I've seen large parties at Mezze brunch before and their specials are often quite wonderful. Jen

We've had brunch at Mezze's--it is a little pricey but not overly so. Mezze's takes reservations. Mezze's is also a very different atmosphere than Rolling Dunes--there you order at the counter and sit down with a number at the tables. Another reasonable place is Lakeshore Cafe near Baby Gap. The food is not fancy but good and it's ''sit down'' but it is a very sparten atmosphere (more so than Rolling Dunes). Great for kids though. They have tables in the back ''garden area'' but I have not eaten back there so I don't know the atmosphere. You could also go down to Jack London Square--Jack's Bistro is good but even more pricey. anon.
