Benedicts, Norwich Part 2

Luca and I had lunch at the popular local restaurant, Benedicts, on one Friday in July.

Starting with some Prosecco and beautifully decorated petit fours, I had a two-course meal: Norfolk Dumplings and Ex Fen Farm Dairy Cow Aged Sirloin.

They were beautiful and delicious.

This might seem a bit of an exaggeration, but Luca was impressed by the presentation, flavour and taste, and his eyes filled with tears. He wanted me to quote his words here:

“I initially tried a bite of the steak on its own, and it was absolutely top-notch. I then tried a bite of the steak with the truffle sauce, and this is what took me over the edge. It was the best steak I have ever had. It was a beautiful, emotional and magical experience, and I thank Benedicts for that. Compliments to their chefs.”
