Berkeley has exactly one place on the list so far: Saul's Restaurant & Delicatessen, honored by San Francisco Chronicle.

Rank 1. Saul's Restaurant & Delicatessen
Jewish Deli
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.
