In the summer of 1971, Alice Waters and a group of friends founded a neighborhood restaurant called Chez Panisse. Born from the 1960s counterculture movement and the small family bistros Alice had visited in France, Chez Panisse was meant to feel like a dinner party at home: a warm, welcoming place to gather with friends and share delicious, thoughtfully prepared food. The Restaurant offers one fixed price menu daily designed to celebrate the best ingredients of the season, sourced from local, regenerative farmers, ranchers and fishers. The four course set menu changes every night, Monday through Saturday.
