John Benton

After the fiasco at Ratskeller it was nice to at least be nodded at bar bartender. English menu is a plus for me as my German hasn't been used in 15 years...

Ordered John Benton soup to start. Tomato based and spicy. A bit cooler than I'd like but good flavor. (3.2)

Side salad came before main course and was unimaginative (iceberg, tomato, cucumber and mushroom) with a watery dressing. (2.0)

Norwegian salmon on a creamy thyme infused dressing was delicious. The boiled potatoes were great firmness but a bit salty. (4.0)

This place was the best meal we had in Germany. Excellent steak, potatoes, and salad. Fair prices, good service, and well prepared food. The location is in the center of town with great people watching.

Coming from Dallas (city of all kinds of amazing dishes) it was difficult for me to find food that met my boujie standards in Germany. John Benton saved my life in that category. French like ambiance, friendly staff, quick service and of course delicious steaks. I had the junior sirloin with a side of corn on the cob (so buttery and tasty) and some red wine. Everything was perfect. Very recommended place if you want something familiar to America or just a nice juicy steak ! Loved it !
