Even though the decorations don't seem to have a theme, they go well with each other. Since we came as a huge group (20 people), the restaurant is serving us in buffet style. I didn't particularly like the soup as it was spicy, but other food reached my expectation. I especially liked the lasagna with whole hazelnut inside and the quiche, though some people in our group questioned about the interesting combinations of the ingredients in some dishes. Overall the atmosphere is great. You should also check out the second floor. It has a few chairs and tables with potted cactus. If you want to talk privately, this is a great spot to avoid being overheard. But don't bring your food up there, because servers don't there.

Reader, Giethoorn in the summer months is hot mess nightmare that I would actually recommend skipping. As for this eatery, the outdoor seating is nice and if you have to kill three hours before your tour departs back to Amsterdam, this is a good place to do it since everything takes forever. My burger was just okay - really mealy bun and served with a strange corn salad, but the fries were (shocker!) quite good. Most of the fries I had on this vaca were good, though. The Netherlands knows how to fry a potato. Anyways it's also unclear if you should order via QR code or wait for one of the children who works here to come serve you. No one will come up to you or give you a menu or explain anything so I recommend just sort of giving in to the whole experience. You will pay double for the pleasure! Enjoy (or skip).

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!

So I spoke with the Chinese boss who's originally from Hong Kong (here since he was 2). I just requested for soup noodles (spicy) with beef and shrimp. It came up to be 18.59 EUR (which I assume was fairly standard for main courses). It was quite a large dish. And overall the quality is quite good. Shrimp was fresh and crunchy. Beef was well cooked and tender. Soup was flavorful. The cook/chef us definitely Chinese or quite well-trained. Saw a number of guests that came in who were personally greeted by the boss. They must be regulars. From TripAdvisor reviews, this is definitely the go-to place for authentic Chinese. Surprised that they didn't have a single review on Yelp. (So now here it is!!)
