Are they only offering one menu all day? I thought they had separate menus for lunch and dinner. It seems like they only have one menu throughout the day, every day?
A:
Yes they do have one al day menu. The separate lunch and dinner menus are a thing of the past.

The fried chicken and pesto chicken sandwiches are definitely crowd-pleasers, and we're glad they hit the spot for you.
It's always heartwarming to hear that even our youngest patrons enjoy our dishes, like the potato puffs with parmesan cheese—yum!
Thank you for choosing Grégoire for your mid-afternoon stop, and we're thrilled that your food was ready quickly, allowing you to savor every bite without delay. We hope to welcome you back again soon for another tasty adventure!- Apr 10, 2024
I used to come here all the time when I was a student at UC Berkeley and it's one of my all time favorite spots for brunch! They change their menu on a seasonal basis but the potato puffs always remain the same and its the most popular item. The puffs are incredibly crispy on the outside but perfectly fluffy on the inside, it's amazing.
Everything is incredible and perfect to take on the go or to pick up for a cute little picnic in the nearby area!
Service is incredibly friendly and efficient! There's only 2 tables/ benches on the outside but there's plenty of places you can go in the nearby area to take the goodies to go eat.

Husband and I came here for lunch and ordered the potato puffs (of course!), the fried chicken sandwich, and a beef sandwich (cold cut, can't remember the name). All were incredibly tasty, and the warm and fluffy potato puffs with the curry dipping sauce were perfect with the cold and drizzly weather. The fried chicken sandwich is always a favorite; you can always see them fry the chicken on the spot.
Service is also super friendly and quick. We didn't go on as busy a day as usual, but still, they had the orders out in around 10 minutes or less. Seating is a bit tricky, I saw most people doing takeout. If weather is good and you have a small enough group then the outside seating area is good to quickly munch and go.
Husband's review: Sandwiches are extremely good and flavorful. Potato puffs were deliciously light and fluffy.

Grégoire is AMAZING!!!! The best sandwiches you can find in the area, super high quality ingredients and consistently delicious everytime. The potato puffs are an absolute must and I recommend trying all of the different sauces. The buttermilk fried chicken is perfect in every way: texture and flavor. The bread is fresh and crisp and high quality and pairs perfectly with the potato puffs. It's a very small shop but they have super fast/friendly service and also a little self-order kiosk on the side if the line is too long.
This place is SUPER popular and parking is hard in the area. It also only has 2 outdoor seating/tables available so I recommend coming on the earlier side for lunch/dinner. 5/5 stars, will always come back here forever and ever!

I was really drawn in by their crispy potato puffs that I saw on an Instagram reels ! (I am easily influenced lol)
my boyfriend and I made a little lunch date in the area and we stopped by for some sandwiches and fore-mentioned potato puff. We were able to find parking about a block away and there was a short line when we stopped by on Saturday afternoon
we opted for the tempura battered butternut squash sandwich and their fried chicken sandwich and of course, their potato puffs. This was on their fall 2023 menu, but I do think their fried chicken sandwich is there indefinitely.
There were a 2 tables/benches by the window and a smaller table behind the tree but they were all filled when we got our order, that we ended up going to the Berkeley rose garden to sit and eat our lunch there.
unfortunately I was pretty underwhelmed by the sandwiches. the fried chicken was just okay, there wasn't much flavor in the chicken, the coleslaw was mild but no much flavor besides that. The butternut squash was fried well, but that was it. Both could have been a lot better if there wasn't so much bread. The type of bread overwhelmed any flavor and kind of made both sandwiches a little dry.
as for the potato puffs -- they were so good! they are worth coming here for. My boyfriend was a bit meh toward them since we were eating the sandwiches AND the puffs . It's pretty heavy since the puffs are pure potato. they are so fluffy and the truffle garlic sauce is creamy and pairs well with it. they are great to reheat in the air fryer if there is leftovers!
I may come back to try their lamb sandwich... that was one of the sandwiches I was debating on but did not try. hopefully it will be much better the second time aroundHelpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0Business owner information

Hi Vivian, Thanks a bunch for your detailed feedback! We're thrilled that our crispy potato puffs lured you in – Instagram reels can be pretty persuasive! We appreciate you and your boyfriend making a lunch date with us.
It's great to hear you enjoyed our fall menu, especially the potato puffs! We're sorry to hear the sandwiches didn't quite hit the mark. Your insights about the bread are valuable; we'll certainly consider that for future improvements.
The lamb sandwich is always a fantastic choice for your next visit, and we hope it exceeds expectationWe are lookinging forward to the opportunity to impress you again! 
Sil M.Berkeley, CA05719Apr 3, 2024I came on a very slow Tuesday afternoon to get some fries and mainly, to try the rhubarb bread pudding. Knowing Gregoir's, I looked forward to both. Alas, this was a different experience. The fries were truly awful: mushy and with a mixed temperature, some warm, but mostly only lukewarm., some cold. None were crisp. I guess I got some leftovers from lunchtime. They tasted old--I was stunned. I never had anything bad at Gregoir's before. How on earth can you mess up fries??Fortunately, the bread pudding wasn't bad--I just hardly detected any rhubarb in it. All in all, a strange experience.
Now, I truly hope this was a one-off, and I'll give it another chance on another day. This place is too expensive to deliver bad--or even mediocre--quality.

Upon first glance you wouldn't realize that this place was a house that someone turned into a small storefront restaurant. While there is no indoor seating, there are two benches in front and a bench or two on the side of the place. There is only street parking and no restrooms though so be aware.
They do have seasonal menus that you honestly can't go wrong with because everything here is delicious. I love their potato puffs because of that crispy taste and how buttery soft it is inside. If there is a line inside, you can also go to the left side of the place and they have a small kiosk that you can order your food. I like that the service here is fast and the people who work here are always helpful.
I recommend trying this place out if you are ever in the area and want something good to have in your belly.

19136285Dec 31, 2023Came on a really rainy night, so eating there was out of the question LOL. It's meant to be a takeout spot anyway, but there are two seats inside that are like bar seats and two small tables outside. Service was good, and I had a nice chat with the cashier about her pet cat!
As for the food: We got the potato puffs and poutine because everyone has raved about their potato puffs. I got the white truffle essence for the potato balls.
If I'll be honest, the truffle was pretty overpowering, and I didn't get to really taste anything else. The texture of the potato puffs were perfect with a crispy exterior and fluffy mashed potato interior, but I definitely should have gone with the garlic and parsley add-on instead, or just them plain with ketchup.
Poutine, however, was so good! The hot gravy was really nice for such a cold day, and the cheese curds were nicely melted. Some fries still retained a bit of crisp! Definitely recommend.
Overall, I do want to come by again to try a sandwich or salad and reorder the potato puffs without the truffle essence. If I'm ever in the area!

Hi Natalie, thank you for your 4-star review and for braving the rain and making it to Grégoire. We're delighted you had a cozy chat with our cashier about her cat - we're all about those furry friend stories, and we love to street neighborhood dogs by our windows. I'm thrilled you loved the Poutine; it's indeed a warming treat on chilly days. Next time, we'll make sure those potato puffs hit the spot without the truffle takeover. Can't wait to have you back for a sandwich or salad adventure!
