Ben & Florentine is described as a reliable breakfast spot with a broad menu and vegetarian options, where free parking, clean restrooms, and comfortable seating make for a convenient visit near the highway. Reviews note fast and courteous service and a consistently friendly staff, with many diners returning throughout the year due to good food and value, though service can slow when the restaurant is very busy. The menu is extensive and food items such as morning potatoes are praised for being crispy and well seasoned, and there is a variety of choices to suit different tastes, including a croissan'wich that some describe as tasty despite its quirky take. Allergy awareness is mentioned in at least one review, with careful handling of dairy ingredients. A few critics mention minor issues like a hair on the plate or longer waits, but these are outliers in an overall positive impression. Overall these reviews depict a welcoming, convenient breakfast destination with solid food quality, good portions, and a lively but not overpowering atmosphere.
Le service était très jovial, & courtois, l'ambinace était correct. Par contre au niveau cuisine... Mes oeufs & ceux de ma conjointe nous ont été servis FROIDS, & les toast molles, à peine grillées, défoncées par l'intrument de tartinage... Nous avons demandé de les remplacer, ce qui a été fait, mais le résultat est resté le même. (des toast molles pas assez grillés) Date & heure de notre repas : Samedi 14 septembre ,environ 11h10 .
Classique, bon, apétissant, rapide, bon service. Franchement rien a dire c'était super, les prix sont bon, la nourriture est bonne. Un bon déjeuner/brunch classique du québec. Beaucoup aimé

Haven't had a bad meal at ben & florentine. Large & generous portion sizes for breakfast that make it feel like a brunch. French toast & crepes are tasty, the combos are great options when you can't decide. Omelets & skillets are hearty. Bacon, potatoes, & sausage are cooked nicely, but not overcooked. Fruit & whipped cream are fresh. Small crowd during the week, great friendly service in English & French.
This Ben & Florentine is conveniently located in a mini strip mall. The menu offered a variety of options. I opted for a combo which is a choice of savory & sweet. I ordered the Banana & Chocolate crepe which consisted of two eggs over easy, B&F famous home fries, applesauce & toast served with a bananas & hazelnut chocolate crepe. In addition, a smoothie was also ordered. The Aloha which consisted of mangoes, peaches & pineapple juice. Furthermore, the waitress was super pleasant & sweet. Plus, she's expecting. Congrats!

On est allé avec la famille de ma femme qui est pas blanche . On a pas apprécié le fait que tous les autres familles blanches avaient des verres d'eau , sel & poivre , sucre sur la table nous rien .. Très déçu nous c'est terminé B&F.
Pas grand choix de menu déjeuner pour crêpe, j'aurais aimé quelque chose comme crêpe épinards cheddar, ou crêpe fruit des champs. Il n'y avait pas ça , il n'y avait pas de choix intéressant. Alors j'ai pris pain doré au raisin avec brie, noix & miel . C'était terriblement sucré énormément sucré 😱 ceux qui aiment le goût du sucre, seront vraiment content. ( Car s'était bon, mais trop sucré pour moi) L'assiette était pas très garni. Un peu de fruits à côté aurais été appréciée comme présentation. Serveuse & personnelle gentillles.
Food is pretty good, I really like their crispy French toast.
The only imperfection is that the toasts they initially served were really burnt, which to me are not edible & shouldn’t even be served. I asked & got them replaced.
