As the birthplace of California cuisine -- stemming from when Bay Area restaurateurs started using and promoting fresh area ingredients -- Oakland’s top chefs enhance the region's culinary mix with exotic flavor, new cooking techniques and one-of-a-kind recipes. Resulting is a kaleidoscope of top-flight eateries, big on ethnic diversity, and even bigger on adventure. Lois the Pie Queen, among Oakland’s oldest restaurants, serves a signature Reggie Jackson, with eggs, grits, biscuits and pork chops. Quinn’s Lighthouse Restaurant and Pub, built as the Oakland Harbor lighthouse in 1903, serves buffalo burgers and Quinn’s Doodaas -- platters of rice, black beans and prawns. Milano’s is known for California-influenced specialties including risottos, wood-oven pizza and polenta with quail. For Aztec cuisine, El Huarache Azteca dishes up mole poplano, huaraches and hacoyos from Toluca and sweets and gorditas from Que Retaro. For Eritrean and Ethiopian cuisine, Asmara specializes in tenderloin tips with awaze dip and lamb in berbere sauce. Sabina Indian Cuisine serves clay-pot dishes and curries.
