The Chef reccomendWe used the private dining room upstairs for a small work Xmas do. Staff lovely, friendly and knowledgeable. The chefs managed to make a set Xmas meal really wonderful - with inventive twists on every course. I can’t imagine it was cheap but it was a special night.
We have visited many times but we took someone who had never been before and it was lovely to see his delight in his three courses and excellent wine. The duck liver pate amuse bouche was perfect. The sour dough bread was amazing. The boys had the lamb rib and veggie spaghetti with egg yolk with mushrooms for a starter, then we all had the quail and for dessert two of us had blood orange tart with chocolate and orange ice cream (absolutely delicious!) and our friend had the famous Benedicts trifle. Nobody cooks meat like Richard and Ashley, it just melts in the mouth. It was all perfect and highly recommend.
Amazing food as always and outstanding service. We had the 7 course Valentines tasting menu on Saturday evening and each course was absolutely beautifully presented, explained at the table and tasted divine. We had a rather noisy table of 3 men sit next to us and the staff immediately moved us to a different table and served complimentary wine - we hadn’t even complained so this was a really nice observant touch from the staff and much appreciated. We love Benedicts and every visit is faultless, can’t wait for our next visit already!
We had the 7 course taster menu, which was also available as a vegetarian and pescatarian option, which one of us had the latter. We started with some complimentary Confit Goose Terrine served in small spoons. Stand out dishes were Crispy Potato Skin (braised pork, own cured cuppa, wild garlic capers), the North Sea Cod with Brown Shrimps and sea vegetables. The cod was perfectly cooked with the skin crisped separately. BBQ Venison with Kohlrabi, 3 corned leek and chocolate. The venison was full of flavour, well cooked being under done.Photos attached. The service was excellent, always willing to help and explaining all the dishes. The wine list was varied, starting around the £20 plus price. We had wine at £40 a bottle which was very good. My son who is a chef in London, this was his second visit and he was extremely impressed along with his fiancee also a chef and my wife and myself.
We booked the private dining room for 9 people and had an amazing evening last Saturday. The food was brilliant with superb and very knowledgeable staff looking after us.
I loved this place, it was simple, service was lovely and knowledgable waiting on staff, food was so tasty and beautifully presented . Great wine. Lovely evening
The staff are great here and are informal yet attentve. We had high expectations of the food and were not disappointed, delicious and imaginative combinations and great choice of wine
Fantastic. Couldn’t be faulted. We had the Sewing room for lunch and it was absolutely incredible. Staff were incredible, Sofia was looking after us and she was just lovely. Food was amazing. Go go go. Nicole organised everything and made the experience everything we hoped it would be Thanks to all
We had the tasting menu and it really was special. The waiters knew all the items on the menu well and the ingredients - it makes such a difference. They were as enthusiastic as we were. We’ve been quite a few time’s now and it just gets better and better
After three months renovating my clients home in Norwich- how thrilled it was to be invited out with my wife by the client L C to experience Benedicts of Norwich. As a perfectionist of the highest order I can say hand on heart Benedicks creates breathtakingly amazing food! Our tasting menu was like food theatre..... And gets a standing ovation from myself & my wife. Flavours & textures - smells & tastes Not to mention how they are presented To keep us up to speed what each dish was a mini menu card with recommendations for suitable wine was handed to each guest Staff were outstanding A cozy special place to eat We will be back and be sharing our experience with friend's family & neighbours
Perfect evening. The Norfolk quail was particularly good, as was the delicious beetroot tart. Excellent desserts, especially the blood orange tart. (They do pastry brilliantly.) Charming and professional front-of-house team.
I have been wanting to try this place for so long! I've seen Richard Bainbridge on so menu cooking programs and have been fascinated with his recipes. My gorgeous and thoughtful son gave me a date for dinner with him for my Christmas present! I just couldn't wait for the day to come. We both scrubbed up pretty good, and must say the service was fabulous! We were served canapes of duck liver that were fantastic and some homemade sourdough bread with carmelized butter that was very tasty indeed. I chose the mackerel for a starter, which had Mackerel, Roasted Rhubarb, Wild Garlic Capers. The fish was perfectly cook and very fresh, the capers were some sweet and lovely and the rhubarb jus was just lovely. My son had the Braised Lamb Rib, North Sea Cockles, Wild Scapes, Beetroot and he let me have a taste and it was melt in the mouth with a beautiful crisp on the outside. For dinner, I had the Whole Roasted Quail, Spelt Risotto, Coffee Roasted Carrot and it was a taste sensation, absolutely perfect! My son had the Slow Roasted Monkfish, Buttery Mashed Potato, Wakame, Chestnut, Cabbage Bernaise Sauce and having tasted it, it was also perfection! Although the portions looked quite small, we were both too full for dessert! It was a perfect night, with the most thoughtful son a mom could hope for! Will definitely be back soon!
We ate from the A la carte menu and really enjoyed our meal. The puffed park crackling appetiser was delicious and we were glad that we added that to our meal choices. Each course was well presented and the staff were helpful and friendly.
Having recently visited Benedicts for a second time, I can truly say the food is stunning. The lid back and simple stylings of the restaurant offer a chic and complimentary backdrop to an exciting culinary journey the visit will take you on. On my first visit I went in the evening and ate off the A La Carte menu, and on the second occasion off the set lunch menu. On both occasions the food standard was delicious and the attention to detail and care was exceptional.
In Norwich for a friends wedding so decided to arrive a day early and sample Benedicts. Booked well in advance and we had a nice table for two in this very busy but somehow relaxed bistro/restaurant. Service is prompt and friendly and the food outstanding. Special mention goes to the varied Norfolk Cheeses I had for dessert while my wife said the deconstructed trifle was fantastic. Well worth a visit and excellent menu - Prof D
We have eaten at Benedicts several times and everytime it has been consistently extraordinary. We were seated by friendly staff that were attentive and warm throughout our time there. The food was beautifully presented and tasted amazing, packed full of flavour and innovative ideas that makes each course exciting as it came out . Hats off to Benedits for having a head chef with exceptional talent. 10 out of 10 again .
I have visited Benedicts several times the service is fantastic nothing is to much trouble. What can I say about the food it is outstanding, the flavours make my mouth water at the thought of eating here, presentation is fantastic gets you excited to what you about to taste. Thank you
Firstly I am genuinely shocked at the poor reviews a little further down! We have had nothing but incredible experiences on the times we have visited Benedicts. The food is exciting, interesting and every mouthful tastes incredible as was as having nostalgic and familiar flavours running through the menu. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly and clearly enjoy their jobs and have a passion for the hospitality industry. If you are hesitating to go - get booked in and go and eat here, you will not regret it. Nothing but 10/10 every time and we always look forward to our next visit. Thanks team Benedicts for another outstanding visit. See you again.

My daughter and I recently enjoyed an exceptional lunch at this delightful restaurant. This food was wonderfully tasty, inventive, and beautifully presented. Every member of the staff was genuinely welcoming and friendly, and each was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the menu. We also found the restaurant environment very peaceful. This really is refined dining, and we wholeheartedly recommend a visit.
