Award-winning restaurateur to open cafe at UC Berkeley

Award-winning chef Charles Phan, known for his San Francisco restaurants Slanted Door and Out the Door, is slated to open a new cafe at the University of California–Berkeley this fall.

Phan, who attended Berkeley in the ‘80s, says the cafe is his way of giving back to the place that “helped set him on a path to success.”

The cafe, which replaces Ramona’s Café in Wurster Hall, will feature organic international food, according to a release.

“I didn’t have access to healthy food when I was a student at Cal,” Phan said in a statement. “So I am especially excited by the new cafe, where I’ll be able to provide healthy as well as tasty, sustainable food to the university’s students, staff and faculty.”
