Oakland Restaurants

Carve out some time to drive your rental car and try out some of the best restaurants in Oakland while you’re in the area. NorCal was ahead of the curve with farm-to-table dining, which has influenced the unique, varied cuisine in the Bay Area.

Camino

Oakland, California 94610

Take a bite of Californian Cuisine at this rustic, Northern californian restaurant. You’ll enjoy a variety of local ingredients, delicious food, and a no-tip policy.

Marica Restaurant

5301 College Ave

Oakland, CA 94618

Enjoy a bit of seafood while you’re on the coast at Marica. This family-owned restaurant offers more than just high-quality seafood, but why not indulge when you’re so close to the ocean? Don’t forget to save room for the dark chocolate souffle for dessert.

Burma Superstar

4721 Telegraph Ave

Oakland, CA 94609

Half the fun of traveling is trying foods you might not get to sample very often at home. The Bay area has a strong Burmese representation in their food scene, and Burma Superstar is a flavor-filled adventure full of fresh ingredients.

Professional Sports

Oakland is home the Oakland A’s. Choose from our Budget rental cars in Oakland, and then drive over to the giant sports complex and see where they play.

Oakland A’s

Catch an MLB game while visiting the Oakland area. Drive your rental car to Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum and “root, root, root for the home team” at an Oakland A’s game. Oakland Athletics have called the Bay Area their home since 1968.

Since coming to Oakland, the A’s have claimed four World Series titles in 1972, 1973, 1974, and 1989. Their elephant mascot, Stomper, cheers them on every home game. If you can, get a seat in Section 149. That’s where the super fans congregate. You’ll enjoy a mix of choreographed dances, flags, player-specific songs, and more.
