John Benton Restaurant — Restaurant in Bremen

If this place is related to the John Benton’s Becks Haus that looks at the church- I had a terrible experience there. We sat there to get a couple of drinks and a bite to eat. My phone was about to be dead, so I asked the bar tender whether I can charge it, and he nicely put my phone to charge with my own charger. by the time I went back inside to ask fpr the bill to the table and get my phone- one guy- Daniel- told me that it is not a charger station and I should take my phone. I was there to pick it up anyways so I did not say anything but then I saw that it was previously unplugged- so not charged at all. I told him that I was going to lok at the trains and asked whether I can leave it there a bit more- plugged. He repeated that it was not a charging station, and I said that it does not take a lot to be helpful. He unplugged my phone and told me to leave. We paid and left- although I was furious. But in the meantime there were some football holigans who had too much too drink and one of them mooned the street. The “owner” Daniel- who did not budge while all this was happenned was very disturbed to use his electric plug.. I am not leaving w/out a power bank again- but the way that Daniel held himself should be questioned.. I cannot describe how terrible he is to the waiting staff either-so do sth about...

We had a wonderful dinner at John Benton’s this evening, just two days before the opening of the Christmas Market. The area was not at all busy and there were not many others in the restaurant, likely due to the cold wet weather.

I had the Rib Eye Steak, medium-rare, with baguette, garlic butter, and a side of Fresh Mushrooms sautéed with bacon and onions. I don’t normally order steak while I’m in Europe; coming from Canada, where I think we do beef and steak exceptionally well, I have been disappointed in the past, but in this case I am so glad I took the chance. The steak was cooked just right, and was tender and full of flavour, the only opportunity to improve it would be to have slightly more char on the outside, but overall I’d rate it 9/10.

My partner had the Kale Platter from the specials menu and said it was one of the best he ever had. The kale was wonderfully flavourful, not at all bitter, and was served with kassler and boiled potatoes.

The experience was topped off by our lovely server who was attentive and helpful at every step. I would recommend it to anyone, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, but not at all stuffy, still fine and suitable for travellers, friends, couples, or families. This is my new favourite restaurant...

The location is great. It’s right near City Hall so either if you sit inside or outside near window, you can see the historical buildings the waitress we had. TISCH not sure if that’s correct name but she was a lovely young lady who really helped with her English for us. The menu was in English, but I still had questions. I had the salmon that was in Filo dough with a watermelon and feta salad, which was very light and good. I also had a baked potato. We also had tagliatelle and small Caesar salad....
