This is our favorite restaurant! Karen, Chino, Maggie, and all their staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome, you really don’t get ambience like this in Delaware in my humble opinion. The food is always fresh and prepared deliciously! We would literally eat here every night if we could! We have come for birthdays, anniversaries, and just because we simply ❤️ this place, the owners, and staff!! The consistency is on point every single time!!I highly recommend you try it for yourself, you will not be disappointed!

To say this place is incredible is an understatement. Their menu changes based on the availability of ingredients. Tonight my husband and I had the filo with goat cheese, stuffed mushrooms, delmonico with garlic butter sauce and half a duck with dig and port sauce. For dessert we had the chocolate mousse and the bread pudding. Everything was so flavorful, and had the right amount of seasoning. Our server Maggie was incredible with her menu suggestions and drink selection. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful place to celebrate my Mom's 80th birthday. Food was fantastic, service was even better, will definitely be back. The clam broth is something to write home about.

About Us

Growing up in Peru, Chino learned the importance of being creative with the limited supplies available, without compromising quality or freshness--a lesson heavily instilled in him by his mother. It is a country known for its melting pot culture, blending a variety of cuisines to create regional delicacies. After coming to America to live in New York, Chino proceeded to work his way up from a potato-peeler. He was employed as a chef for over 20 years and even assisted in opening several restaurants before opening Bon Appetit with Karen in 1991.

Through these various influences, Chino has perfected the art of blending foods from various cultures, including French, German, Incan, Chinese, Japanese, and Swiss. Making all soups and sauces with stock from scratch, with the assistance of his sous-chef, consistent quality is guaranteed. From Tuesday until close on Saturday, Chino cooks every single meal that leaves the kitchen, personally ensuring the high-quality taste we are known for here at Bon Appetit.

Karen was raised in New York, where she studied at the Culinary Institute of America before meeting Chino through a mutual employer. Combining her education with her many years of experience, Karen is meticulous in piecing together every facet of the dining room. Her passion can be seen throughout Bon Appetit from the fresh flowers set at each table to the french-inspired decor in the dining room. This attention to detail also extends to the kitchen, where she prepares desserts and salad dressings from scratch. With an experienced wait staff following her lead, every customer who walks through the doors will be welcomed to the Bon Appetit family.
