Bennie Restaurant & Bar

I stumbled upon this restaurant travelling with my parents. It's a 10-minute walk from Oxford Street. The interior is modern, and they serve food all day from breakfast to dinner. 🌟 Salmon Tartare 💰£12 🌟 Chicken Skewer 💰£9 🌟 Charcuterie Board 💰£11 Each dish was delicious! The salmon tartare was very fresh, with perfectly ripe avocado. The chicken thigh and chorizo skewers were tender and juicy, and the charcuterie board was a generous portion at a very reasonable price. 🌟 Beef Ribs 💰£29 🌟 Beef Cheek 💰£20 🌟 Grilled Beef Salad 💰£14.5 The portions of the three main dishes were incredibly large. The beef ribs were a bit dry, but the seasoning was great. The beef cheek was braised very tenderly and tasted fantastic! The salad featured tender grilled beef, and the mustard sauce was appetizing—highly recommended! 🍷 A pint of beer was £6.5 Overall, it was very affordable! Considering the location and the ambiance, good value for money. 📍 Bennie 102 Great Portland St.

Delicious food and good service in a pretty setting. The braised lamb is a must, so tender. Also really enjoyed the beef short rib and fried aubergine. Crispy mushrooms did not disappoint either - they lived up to the name! Also got the short rib, burrata and fries which were more than enough. Would recommend!

During my recent brunch at Bennie Restaurant and Bar, I decided to mix and match by ordering both the Eggs Benedict and the Avocado on Toast. This turned out to be an excellent choice that showcased the restaurant’s flair for classic brunch dishes with a modern twist. The Eggs Benedict were spot on, featuring perfectly poached eggs with a runny yolk that complemented the rich, creamy hollandaise sauce. The English muffin was toasted to perfection, providing a nice contrast in texture. What set this dish apart was the quality of the ingredients – the ham was flavorful and added just the right amount of saltiness to balance the dish. On the other hand, the Avocado on Toast was equally impressive. The avocado was creamy and fresh, spread generously on a slice of perfectly toasted sourdough. The addition of pomegranate seeds was a delightful surprise, adding a burst of sweetness and a slight crunch that elevated the dish. A sprinkle of chili flakes added a mild heat, making each bite interesting and flavorful. Combining these two dishes offered a wonderful variety of flavors and textures, making for a satisfying and well-rounded brunch. The ambiance of Bennie, with its large windows letting in natural light and the cozy yet stylish decor, made the experience even more enjoyable. The friendly and attentive staff ensured that my coffee cup was never empty and that the dining experience was seamless. Overall, my brunch at Bennie Restaurant and Bar was delightful. The combination of Eggs Benedict and Avocado on Toast is highly recommended for those who want to enjoy the best of both worlds. Bennie’s inviting atmosphere and top-notch service make it a perfect spot for a relaxed and delicious brunch in London.
