Shakewell
Mediterranean · Oakland, CA
About
Don't expect just another Mediterranean spot. Shakewell brings bold Spanish and Mediterranean flavors with a wood-fired oven that produces Bomba rice paellas, flatbreads, and whole roasted fish. The place is LGBTQ-owned and attracts a mixed crowd of gay, straight, and everyone in between. Chef and co-owner Jen Biesty won Food Network's Chopped, adding to the kitchen's credibility.
It's a tapas-style affair, so come ready to share small plates and sip handcrafted cocktails. The vibe is casual but focused on good food. If you're in the mood for something sweet afterward, Fentons Creamery is a classic nearby stop.
