We had a great breakfast (or brunch) here! The service was friendly & attentive, & the atmosphere was warm & welcoming. The taters were especially delicious - not sure what seasoning you use, but they were a standout. Portion sizes were just right, prices were very reasonable, & there's such a wide selection on the menu. All around, a great dining experience - we'll definitely be back!View more

Very busy breakfast spot; offering discounted breakfast specials before 8:30am. The service was nice, pleasant & speedy. Ordered eggs with crispy bacons. The potatoes were not as crunchy as other branches. The dining environment is smoky. It's nice to have a B & F in downtown that opens early.View more

I often cant decide between sweet & savory breakfast items, & here you dont need to. Its nice to get a sweet crepe, toast, eggs, bacon/sausage, etc. all in one order, but just make sure you are hungry! The poached egg on the eggs benedict was unfortunately cold, like it was prepared in advance & saved until serving. The other eggs were good, as were the potatoes & meats. Waffle was standard. Coffee & tea are included with of if the menu items. The crepes are quite thick here-personally I prefer them thinner. Overall I would recommend B&F for breakfast & brunch, especially with the big portion sizes & variety within ordersView more

Has to be the best breakfast place I have ever eaten at. Food was amazing, good portion size & price was reasonable for what we had. The food was high quality. Service: No complaints, server did a good job & had no issues. Atmosphere, restaurant was elegant, I really appreciate when they have an open kitchen as well to be able to see the food prepared.View more

Dear Ben & Florentine, It's no secret I love my breakfast & my definite go to place is your outlet on Mansfield. I came back on Sunday Oct 6th & it is always wonderful. Every time I go, I get the very best service & quality breakfast. Today, I will tell you about a very special waitress that really works very hard & is an ambassador of your brand. She is an inspiration, one of those people you always want breakfast from. Marie-Pier is extremely devoted to you & her clients & she has always treated me like gold, been extremely attentive & caring. She is one of those waitresses every other restaurant wished they had. Not only does she know her menu inside & out, she really gives personalized quality service not found elsewhere. She is very careful with your brand & is alert in her entourage. She assists other waitresses, makes sure things run smoothly. It's not just about my service but everyone else. She gives so much to Ben & Florentine & absolutely loves her work with you, I feel it each time. She's the waitress that has it all, beautiful inside & out, giving her best service with very high professional standards.Attentive & very very hard working. She has served me for years & each time, i got more than breakfast, I got a welcome home experience. You ought to be very proud of her & her contribution. I don't know if you have an employee incentive program but I am compelled to write as i am in awe each time Marie-Pier gives me her service. She deserves a nice bonus, a certificate or something like that. She is worthy of any recognition you can give her as for jenny( both are out of this world).View more

Great place for an easy breakfast. Menu is vast. We avoided the fried food & went with the healthy options. Oats were great with good serving of fruit & granola was also big. Good to the brown sugar & cream on the side for the oats & not in there already. We don't drink coffee at all - we were asked 3 times in the first 5 minutes by 3 different people if we wanted coffee. Might sound annoying to some, but it's good attention to the customer.View more

This is the best place for a delicious breakfast/brunch for a great price. There are so many wonderful options to choose from. & it's located close to the QE Fairmont we stayed at. The waitress for our first visit was Marie, this lady is amazing, so efficient, so friendly, does everything with a smile! The best I've ever seen!! This place is extremely busy & for good reason, we went around 11:30am & got seated within a couple of minutes but the waitresses are busy so it may take a bit to get your food/bill but well worth it. We went back the next day & Jen was really good as well. Definitely eat here!View more

This was our last restaurant when we were in Montreal & it was a brunch place right before we headed out on a train to Quebec. The food was really good & the service was really attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed the coffee as well as the breakfast & I very much enjoyed putting authentic maple syrup all over my scramble Skillet & I also enjoyed speaking French with the waiter. That was coolView more

Make sure to come hungry as portions are very generous. Breakfast was incredible. When I saw banana & Nutella crepes on the menu I was sold! It came with all the fixings! I also had the Maple Iced Coffee (Sortilège, milk, vanilla, espresso & cinnamon) which was a wonderful way to start to our Montreal day!View more

Breakfast was good. I ordered crispy french toast with caramel apple & Vegetarian 2 Egg skillet. Amazing food. In relative to other breakfast places, it is a little expensive place but worth it. Very crowded, very noisy & congested. You can sit for long as there is a queue of people. Overall a good experience.View more

The best breakfast I had in Montreal! The absolute star of the show was the toast, it was beyond delicious!View more

Almost good for a noisy big chain restaurant, but there are potatoes & toast on every classic bfast order, no exceptions, & no substitutions. Any breakfast spot in Montréal will give you sliced tomatoes or veggies as options or at least have menu items that include us no-to-low sugar folks. I personally can't eat the toast or the potatoes with my long covid protocol. Too bad. Could be a good spot but the chain expects us all to have the same needs. The server was fine but sick of being asked for exceptions, apparently. If you are ok with that, it's not a bad place & decent enough food. I won't go back.View more

Loved this place. The best for breakfast. Found it while wondering downtown Montreal. The place was packed with locals. So a good sign. If you are a tourist & need English the staff are bilingual. The food & service were excellent. Also, a wide selection of items. Bathrooms were spotless tooView more
