Monsieur Benjamin

06/02/2024

We opened Monsieur Benjamin in Hayes Valley ten years ago. For a casual restaurant, we went to great lengths to cook everything from scratch and source the same products we use at our fine-dining restaurant. The past decade has been filled with wonderful moments and warm memories that will last a lifetime. We are proud and grateful to have been a fixture in the neighborhood, and a comforting restaurant for so many regulars.

It's been a great run, but our ten year lease has come to an end and we've decided to close this location. More than anything, we are thankful to all the people - our patrons, staff, collaborators, and suppliers - that have made this past decade worthwhile. Our last service will be June 29th and we hope to see you once again.
