Pizza, Pasta, Mediterranean

The flavours of Greece, Spain, The Levant, and North Africa, as well as Italy, can be found on our menus and specials boards. Enjoy “Breakfast at Benny’s” until noon; or in true Med. style, choose from our small plates and mixed boards to share; enjoy an authentic pizza, pasta or grill item from our main menu; or sample our cocktails (the famous tiramisu martini!) and tapas. You will always find a warm welcome and a buzzy atmosphere.

Located on Felixstowe’s main drag – Hamilton Road, Café Bencotto is the result of careful restoration and sympathetic enhancement to what was originally Felixstowe’s Fire Station. The gilt framed mirrors, stunning chandeliers and leather seating contrast with the exposed brick, reclaimed bar and original glazed tiles. You can lunch in the window and watch the world go by, enjoy a leisurely brunch with your laptop in our comfy heated courtyard, or wine and dine in front of the open kitchen where you can see our brigade of chefs busily preparing your food.

OUR MENUS

All our dishes are freshly prepared on the premises using seasonal ingredients whenever possible and cooked to order.

HOW TO FIND US

Café Bencotto is due to reopen on 18th May, when we can welcome you back inside our warm and friendly venue. We have refreshed the menu, and stacked it with Bencotto favourites, such as – Risotto Bencotto, Spiced lamb and feta calzone, Pork tenderloin, Chreime, Bencotto mussels and delicious Mango cheesecake to finish up with. We have also added new dishes to the Breakfast at Benny’s menu including spicy Shakshouka, and fluffy Frittata to go with your fresh o.j. and cappuccino (if that’s got your mouth watering, mission accomplished).

Initially we will be opening five days a week, at 10am, Tuesdays to Saturdays, with a view to reverting to seven days, and 9am, a little later. We will be continuing our policy of not taking bookings, but offering a slick greet and seat service, other than for parties of eight or more (currently that means a maximum of two households).

We will be opening at 10am, Tuesdays to Saturdays, from 18th May. Last seating and food orders are at 9.30pm To make a booking enquiry please email manager@cafebencotto.co.uk including requested date, time, number of people and a telephone number we can contact you on.
