Benedict is an upscale/hipster all-day
breakfast restaurant, which serves an interesting mix of classic Anglo-Saxon
breakfast options with various national signature dishes from around the world.
It currently has four locations in Israel and I visit the one in the trendy
part of Tel Aviv. Most options come with unlimited bread from the breadbasket
and a drink, which can be a freshly squeezed juice, a soda, or a mimosa. The
people who work at XX are funky and full of personality. The menu is diverse
and almost everything looks delicious. It’s hard to choose.
I’m getting a
Benedict Joe (ILS 66 or ca. $17), which is a combination of Eggs Benedict and a
Sloppy Joe. It comes on toasted brioche and the unlimited breadbasket (which
nutella and jelly dips), a side salad, and a freshly squeezed OJ. The portion
is much smaller than expected, but it tastes excellent. All the other items are
really fresh and tasty. The side of fries is ok, but nothing special.
VERDICT: 92/100
Benedict is an
expensive breakfast/brunch/lunch place, but it is well worth the money. This
particular location had great atmosphere and people, although it’s known for
its long lines and waiting period.
