French restaurants in Berkeley / Oakland area?
A friend who moved to Berkeley recently was asking about hardcore French restaurants in the area. All I could come up with were Liaison, Rendez-Vous, Chez Simone, Nizza, and La Note. Also La Bedaine for takeout.
Am I forgetting anything? There are lots of Cal-whatever places with some French touches, such as BayWolf, À Côté, Rivoli, and Gregoire, and depending on the night you might get a very French meal downstairs at Chez Panisse.

Your list seems to cover it. Cafe Rouge serves French dishes, as well as food from other Mediterranean countries. I like the cassoulet.
