Staff are consistently friendly and the service is reliable, and the overall food quality is described as good value even if not haute cuisine.

Le Bénédictine draws praise for a lively breakfast scene, friendly service, and generous portions, with favorites like eggs Benedict, crepes with abundant fresh fruit, and a variety of poutines described as tasty and satisfying. The freshness of the fruit, authentic maple syrup, and the use of local products such as Abitibi jams stand out, along with good value and quick service. While many notes are positive, some visits feature eggs that are overcooked, toast that is burnt, missing utensils, or miscommunications and delays, and the dining area can be quite noisy, making conversation difficult. A few diners mention longer waits or seating mixups, but overall Le Bénédictine is seen as a solid, dependable spot for a hearty breakfast with standout dishes and room for improvement.View restaurant profile
