    There were so many great food options, that it was hard to pick just one. The Lobster Risotto was flavorful and a good portion size. The crepe brulee was exquisite, sweet but not overly sweet. I want to go back to try more of the menu. Definitely recommend.

    Food is always excellent. We had the pork chop, salmon, and snapper. Yukon gold potatoes are delicious! Carrot cake for dessert was perfect; the cake was moist and the icing wasn’t thick and gloppy like some carrot cakes.

    Gino was amazing. God bless you my friend. He took great care of us for our anniversary lunch. Food was an excellent value. My main complaint is that the paella was not very flavorful in my opinion. But everything else (calamari, baked Brie, and rainbow trout almondine) was excellent. Looking forward to the next time!

    My family and I recently celebrated my mother's 80th birthday at Cafe Benedicte, and the experience was wonderful. The server team provided exceptional care and even surprised us with a delicious dessert. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and we enjoyed every moment of our time there. I highly recommend Cafe Benedicte and look forward to returning soon. Thank you for making my mother's special day even more memorable!

    Our second foray into the 2023 Houston Restaurant Week universe was Cafe Benedicte. As usual, an overall outstanding dining experience! We started with an excellent Chunky Gazpacho with avocado and shrimp, which was a very refreshing start given the ungodly heat we’ve been enduring lately. For our second course we chose the Burrata and Heirloom Tomato Caprese. Another success! The balsamic dressing was the perfect counterpoint to the arugula, tomato, and burrata. I chose the Tuscan Salmon and Shrimp in a sun-dried tomato cream sauce over fettucine and my companion chose the Classic Mixed Grill (filet mignon, lamb chop, bacon-wrapped shrimp). Both entrees were perfectly executed and presented. You simply can’t go wrong at Cafe Benedicte! We topped off our meal with Chocolate Hazlenut Crunch and Creme Brulee. We split a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc from their reasonably priced wine list. All in all, a score of 100!! Well done, Cafe Benedicte!

    This is by far my favorite restaurant.  The restaurant is beautiful, the atmosphere, and the people are amazing,  and the food and drinks are exceptional.  The Peri Peri tacos, braised lamb tacos, lobster bisque, and lamb shank are just some of our favorites. You can’t really go wrong with anything on their menu. They’re all delicious. We love cafe Benedicte!

    This is a treasure of a neighborhood gem that even after its long history in business is still be discovered by people living in the area - who have lived here a long time! It's bustling but not noisy (there's a pianist you can hear in all parts of the restaurant), the food is really well prepared and very reasonably priced and then the service is over the top efficient, friendly and accommodating. Have been many times since discovering it myself a few years ago and have never been disappointed.
