A Jewish deli in the Bay Area is a rare enough thing that Saul's has been feeding North Berkeley for decades without much competition. The latkes are aggressively crunchy, the pastrami comes fatty and brined on rye with grainy mustard, and raspberry jam sits on every table like a standing invitation. Pancakes are fluffy in the way a diner promises but rarely delivers. Weekend brunch draws a crowd that clearly has nowhere more important to be.

How we scoreThe dishes from the writeups
-
Latkes
“The excessively crunchy latkes, for example, draw devoted crowds every Hanukkah, though they’re popular year-round.”
San Francisco Chronicle -
Pancakes
“Simple breakfast options are plentiful and well-done, like fluffy, picture-perfect pancakes topped with butter.”
San Francisco Chronicle -
Hash
“The pastrami-curious should try the hash, matchstick potatoes topped with ruddy meat and poached eggs, which goes well with a bit of grainy mustard.”
