Cafe Biere, Albany

Bottles of Belgian beer, including Duvel and Tripel Karmeliet, sit on a shelf above murals of steins and pink elephants inside Cafe Biere. Between sips of imported brews, patrons can dip into kettles of mussels or bite into the glistening patties of bistro-style burgers, which are made with lamb or beef from nearby Niman Ranch. On weekends, patrons can scarf down farm-fresh eggs or drink 20 flavors of bottomless mimosas freshly milked from champagne-producing cows. The bistro's golden walls mimic the hues of the poached eggs seen next to puddles of rosemary brown butter on plates carried aloft by waiters.
