Poulet

Poulet was co-founded in 1979 by Marilyn Rinzler and Bruce Aidells. It began as a take-out-only eatery, designed to help people who didn't have time to cook, where you could take home fresh, healthy, gourmet food. We have always had a simple philosophy, food is very basic, lets enjoy it. For over 30 years Poulet has remained true to this philosophy and this is why people have been coming for all these years. The food world may have changed since it began, but Poulet's founding ideas have never gone out of fashion.

Below is a photo of Poulet before it opened in 1979. Eventually, Poulet expanded into the space next door, a "general store" that sold everything from soap to comic books. The owner used to go away a lot and put up a sign saying "gone fishing." Times have changed.

Poulet is a gourmet eatery located in the heart of Berkeley's Gourmet Ghetto. We serve healthy, tasty, gourmet foods all made on the premises using only the best, freshest ingredients. All items are available to eat-in or take home. The menus on this site are a sampling of the many items we make, some items are made daily, others are seasonal.
