Best Restaurants for Birthdays in East Finchley

Traveling solo I wanted a tasty Christmas dinner in a casual cozy restaurant. Bennie’s delivered on all fronts. The small restaurant was busy but not overly packed. I truly appreciate the staff who came into work on Christmas Day evening and provide a delicious meal and friendly service to their diners. I chose the 3 course dinner and asked to substitute sparking water for the champagne which they did with no fuss. The Chicken Pate was served with a wonderful fresh bread. It was savory and the raspberries provided just the right touch of tart and sweet. The Duck Breast was flavorful and the cranberry sauce again provided a nice touch to cut through the richness of the meat. Rounding out the meal I chose the Chocolate Mousse which was delicious. I’ll definitely return next time I’m staying in the area.

The entire service team made our Christmas Day dining experience first class. Cheerful and very attentive throughout . The food was great and the mood festive .

Amazing service, intimate and romantic setting, our favourite. We’ll be be coming back for years to come! C

Wonderful setting for a festive Xmas tea - fantastic staff - going out of their way to make it every more special

I’d heard about the restaurant and as being of German parentage decided to take my sister, niece and her partner for Christmas lunch. A really wonderful experience. The staff were pleasant and attentive, the food was served without delay and I have to say the portions and the flavours were delicious, just as I remember from my mother’s cooking and all reasonably priced. Lovely venue and I would recommend to friends.
