Benedicts
The neighbourhood restaurant of Richard Bainbridge, winner of MasterChef: The Professionals, serving modern British food built on Norfolk's seasonal produce.
Opened in 2015 by Norfolk chef Richard Bainbridge and his wife on St Benedicts Street in Norwich Lanes. It is listed in the Michelin Guide and holds three AA Rosettes. The setting is a simple, modern pub-style space. It offers à la carte dishes, a good-value lunch set menu and multi-course tasting menus, including a vegetarian version. The menu changes every four to six weeks with the seasons, often using local produce such as Cromer crab and Norfolk lobster. Diners often praise the Parker House rolls and sherry mousse. Outdoor seating offers small plates. Booking ahead on the website is recommended, and the restaurant is within walking distance of the city centre.
