The restaurant is named after America’s most famous founding father, Benjamin Franklin. While he was pinnacle in America’s birth, he also became the first ambassador to France. While on trips to Paris, he would wine and dine with the best of them and when he returned, he would bring back the French culture, food and wine, and share it with our new nation. Dishes like Potato Lyonnaise and Crème Brulée were the first of his favorites he shared with America. The Benjamin reflects that bridged gap between the two countries’ cultures. The restaurant and bar is french-inspired, but uniquely American. It sits in Ridgefield's historic district in a 1875 house, but the interiors are modern, elegant and new. Chef prepares dishes like Mussels, Foie Gras, Shrimp Toast, Chicken, Halibut, Duck, and more.

• Burgers • Ridgefield

In 2019, after our doors have been open for a decade, we took a step back and looked at ourselves as a company. We looked beyond what we created, we reflected upon the journey that brought us here and explored ideas of where this path and our growth will lead. Our greatest strength has always been creating a menu with choices that feel good for everyone. We source mindfully, with our farmers, our environment and our guests in mind at all times. We now look to the future of food, and plant-based proteins are undoubtedly at the forefront of sustainability. Our menu is now half vegan; plant-based and more delicious than ever. What we eat is who we are, and at Bareburger, we celebrate everyone.

We had a delicious meal on a busy Saturday night. Service was courteous and attentive. Menu had nice mix of traditional and modern dishes. Grilled radicchio salad was very tasty. Truffle pasta also flavorful! We had the branzino as the main course and it was scrumptious. The smoky grilled bread was a tasty touch. Dessert drinks and tiramisu rounded out a lovely meal. We can’t wait to go back.

This was a lunchtime visit. Food, as expected based on prior visits, was very good. Service was attentive and professional. This restaurant has a very welcoming and attractive decor. At previous visits for dinner the noise level was at times an issue. Today, at lunch it was fine. This restaurant has been a welcome addition to Ridgefield.
