Benedicts

A really wonderful meal to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Such a treat to enjoy an interesting and well balanced vegetarian set menu with delicious flavours and no boring risotto. Cauliflower was a particular highlight (who knew it could taste so good?!) and I’m still thinking about the perfectly baked brioche with wild garlic butter, which I could happily eat every day and never tire of it. Service very friendly and efficient. Expensive but worth every penny for a special occasion.

Booked Al-fresco dining, and would recommend it! - we were even given blankets as the autumn nights were creeping in. Dinner for two and they have a simple menu for the street-side option, so we have one each and shared (all except the vegetarian option). Service was amazing. Dishes were not entirely mind blowing in gustatory appeal, but certainly in experience, and the Al-fresco menu was affordable. All-in-all we thought it was excellent value. Great wine also - from the recommendation. A gastronomic experience, within which we were well looked after. The whole thing was made affordable street-side.

Absolutely delicious food. We all had a lunch set menu which was divine. It was my mum‘s birthday and they prepared a beautiful little card and dessert for her. The service was very friendly and efficient. The atmosphere is relaxed and chatty rather than stiff which makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend.

A couple in our hotel described Benedicts as "expensive". I'd argue it isn't, for what it has to offer. First, 61GBP for a 6 course set menu is pretty standard. They are also very accommodating. We aren't big drinkers, so we asked to split accompanying wines in two, to try them out, but not to drink too much. And we did the same with cheeses. We wanted to try everything, but to be frank, their main dish was quite big, compared to other restaurants with set menus, where sometimes you get a single piece of meat. All in all, very friendly service, not a single dish I would consider to be weak, and a very reasonable price for that.

We dined at Benedicts in the summer and had their tasting menu. That was by far one of the best, if not the best, tasting menus we have ever had in Norwich. The service was great and the food was great. The staff were very nice. The restaurant was very clean and cosy. Would recommend it for a dining experience!

I really can't say enough good things about this restaurant - everything is thought through and presented meticulously but with such friendliness and ease of service. The menu is outstanding, and whilst presented as a tasting menu was flexible to cater to some group members. Wine list is also excellent. The atmosphere is warm and laid back, the staff on point. I really look forward to coming back soon.

We had the 9 course taster menu and oh boy was it spectacular. Hats off to the head chef and owner Richard. All the dishes were beautifully plated and the flavour profile of each dish was delightful. The seafood dishes were some of the best we’ve had. It’s also refreshing to have a taster menu that isn’t overridden with saltiness, which meant the whole menu had a sense of freshness to it. Service was impeccable, friendly but not stuffy. Probably the best restaurant in Norwich and well deserving of a Michelin star should it get one.
