Au Courant Regional Kitchen
A Benson restaurant with wood floors, high ceilings and chef-built walnut tables, serving seasonal, locally sourced dishes with European influences and house-made pasta. The menu changes often and has included a chef's tasting format.
Au Courant Regional Kitchen is a chef-driven restaurant at 6064 Maple Street in Benson. Omaha Magazine reported that it opened in November 2016 in the former Espana space, with Swiss-born, Omaha-raised Chef Benjamin Maides and restaurateur Carlos Mendez as the team. It sits on Maple Street in the Benson neighborhood.
The concept is seasonal and local: the menu changes weekly and draws on area farmers and producers, and guests can order a la carte or choose a chef's tasting menu. Past press has described a structure of amuse-bouche, aperitif, pasta and protein, with house-made pastas such as gnocchi and agnolotti among the dishes mentioned.
The room has been described as warm and relaxed rather than stuffy, with wood floors and walnut tables made by the chef. Seating is limited, so planning ahead is wise. It is a good choice for a special dinner or tasting menu night during a Benson stay. We could not read the official site, so confirm hours and reservations directly.
