We came as a large group (16 people) and they were able to accommodate us with two tables adjacent to each other. The salmon was seared perfectly and doesn't fall apart into small pieces when you try to cut the fillet. The only downside is that they don't have an English menu which we struggled because only 2 in our group had beginner level in Dutch and everyone else speaks English, but you can get around that with their free WiFi and open Google Translate to figure it out. The wait staff also patiently explained their signature dishes. Price was quite reasonable as well

Easily one of the best "let us cook for you" menus in The Netherlands. There is nothing I love more…read morethan stumbling upon a hidden gem restaurant like Benjamin while wandering around the city centre. I'm not going to lie, since coming to The Netherlands, I have missed the bold, inventive and thoroughly delightful menus at restaurants in New York City and San Francisco. To be honest, I never expected to find this in Arnhem - a small city in the East of The Netherlands, but alas - here I am gushing about it. Tucked away just off one of the main streets in the city centre, The Benjamin is the perfect location for a quiet, central dining experience in Arnhem. The decor is bright, modern and cozy. And the staff were so attentive and accommodating. We went for the 4-course surprise menu. I am a huge fan of letting chefs really put their full creativity on display. And this one was exactly as described: surprising, delightful, delicious! I think in The Netherlands they would say "hartstikke lekker". The 4-Course Surprise Menu Course 1: Duck salad with five-spice mayonnaise The dish had subtle Asian-influenced flavours in a light starter. I loved the play of the different textures with the shredded duck and the creamy mayonnaise, and how it was done in such a way that wasn't too heavy. Course 2: Salmon Soup with Tarragon I am baffled by how the chef at Benjamin was able to put so much flavour into this soup! It was amazing. How a salmon soup with no actual chunks of salmon could be packed with so much flavour.. it was incredible! And maybe I am just too much a fan of Tarragon - but wow! It was such a good pair with the salmon. Course 3: Bavette Steak over sweet potato puree, a stilton butter, and fresh figs and turnips I'm going to be honest, by this time we were a little confused at the thought of having steak after a salmon and a duck dish. And to add to the confusion - I was a little dubious when I heard fig, stilton, sweet potato and steak were in this dish. I don't know what kind of magic they are cooking up at Benjamin, but somehow it all made sense when I took a bite into this course. All the different flavours and textures married together perfectly in this dish. The crunch from the turnips and the freshness form the figs with the unbelievably smooth texture of the sweet potato puree, the sharpness of the stilton butter.. amazing! And to top it all off, a perfectly seared Bavette steak that cut like butter. Course 4: Asparagus Ice Cream with basil oil, roasted quinoa and ginger caramel sauce. Desserts like this are what I live for. I love dishes that completely challenge my understanding of what should be savoury and what should be sweet. I have never had an Asparagus dessert, and yet somehow Benjamin left me in awe of what I have been missing in my life. The ice cream was beautifully bright with this very-present flavour of asparagus; a perfect balance between being too shy and too overpowering. The ginger caramel was amazing, so vibrant, so sweet, and a beautiful texture when combined with the crunchy roasted quinoa. And what a surprise to have this delightful burst of fresh basil flavour radiating throughout this dessert! The menu was certainly full of surprises. All in all, it has been a long time since I have dined at a restaurant that had such a strong grasp of flavour, texture and presentation. So much so that they are able to deftly challenge what should and should not be paired together or made into a soup/ dessert / starter, etc. I thoroughly enjoyed my time dining at Benjamin and strongly recommend it for those foodies looking to broaden their horizons with food. Also, side note: I had one of the best Rose's of my life here. Amazing!

Ist es sein kleiner französischer Akzent, der für den deutschen Otto Normalgast irgendwie nach großer Kulinarik-Welt klingt? Wer weiß.

Frische ist ihr Geschäft Simon führt das Haus mit Nicoleta Virgulto, der Küchenchefin. Sie ist gebürtige Rumänin, er gebürtiger Franzose, gemeinsam geht es ihnen um die Vermittlung von Genuss und dem Savoir-vivre-Gedanken. Sind die beiden auch selbst Genussmenschen?

First for us Americans, C'est does have an English menu, and all of the staff speaks wonderful English so you will have no problem interacting with the staff. I highly recommend getting a reservation if on a weekend as there is limited seating and this place fills up! The dress code is a button up shirt and jeans with leather shoes. The interior is an older kitchen feel but nice. most of the inside seating you will have a view of the cook in action which is nice to see where your food is coming from. The menu has chicken, steak, and seafood. I got the Duck and it was cooked to what I would call medium and was very delicious. My coworker got the mixed grill which comes with I believe 3 different types of meat and he commented it was very good as well. For drinks we both got a beer. The brand was Grolsch which is a light pilsner with a mild flavor. Very good beer for drinking with meals or an all nighter. Also note that Grolsch is brewed and bottled right in Enschede so anytime you get a Grolsch it is going to be very fresh! After I had finished my dinner the cook came around to our table and asked how everything was (He spoke in English). For desert I got my go to Creme Brulee and it was by far the best Creme Brulee in all of my samplings in Enschede! It also came with a scoop of ice cream and whipped cream. Very much recommend the Creme Brulee! This restaurant did accept an American credit card with a magnetic strip. I paid with an American Express and my coworker used a Visa. Overall very happy with C'est Si Bon and highly encourage you to check it out!

This restaurant will not disappoint. I got the Blacksmith's Special (the chef"s special of the day) which started with a very creative pairing of a gumbo salad atop a mackeral tartare. The second course was a classic oxtail broth, which is perfect in it's deep, rich flavor coupled with the crisp bitterness of the scallions and soft earthiness of the Anoki mushrooms. The 3rd course was a pairing of a white fish with a seared tuna over sauteed fresh spinach - amazing! The meat course was another duet, this time of venison and wild boar both wrapped in bacon. They were served with Belgian mash and au grautin potatoes and a Waldorf salad. All so good that I didn't have an appetite for dessert! The service was as excellent as the food. Fons was particularly good at the wine pairings. Bottom line: Go and enjoy!
