Ben & Florentine draws mixed feedback across visits, with many praising the generous breakfast options, the flavorful eggs and potatoes, and the friendly, attentive service that can feel lively and efficient; others report slower service, cold dishes, and issues with refills and accuracy, especially after a recent ownership change. A broad menu that covers breakfast, lunch and early dinner is noted, with several diners highlighting good value and generous portions, while a few complain about price increases and portions shrinking. The atmosphere is described as pleasant and clean by many, though a handful mention cleanliness issues and temperature control in the dining room. Overall, Ben & Florentine appears to be a reliable spot for a solid breakfast when the staff is attentive and the kitchen runs smoothly, but experiences vary by day and location.
Un beau menu varié. Une propreté exemplaire. Plats délicieux & généreux. Aujourd'hui, j'ai été servie par Chalseah, accueillante, intéressante & très professionnelle. Je recommande Ben & Florentine.
Thank you so much for an amazing service today! We really enjoyed the service & the welcoming atmosphere! Thank you & we will come back absolutely 😀I will recommend it to my friends !!!!

Pour être un habituer des Ben & Florentine, ce dernier est loin derrière ses confrère au niveau de la nourriture. La sauce hollandaise est sans gout. Très décevant
Horrible experience with waitress. She never came to see us for water coffee or just check up on us. got my order wrong, then when she said she'll get it for me, she never did until the end & said she'll bring it right away, but I was already done with my food. She took our plates when we were done, didnt come for 40mins to ask us if we wanna pay for the bill. 0/5 service.
My wife & I just moved to the Ville de Saint-Laurent part of Montreal the beginning of October. Our first visit to a local area restaurant was the Ben & Florentine .. they have an extensive menu that covers both small & large breakfast, lunch & early supper offerings. The restaurant is a good size & wadnt overly noisy. Our food was excellent, eggs cooked perfectly with delicious hash brown potatoes. Our server was attentive, polite & quite comical. We enjoyed our visit & look forward to a return very soon.
Since it's recent change in ownership there has been a marked reduction in service & overall food quality.
Came in for lunch Friday October 3rd & ordered a western omelet. It took forever to receive my order & when it arrived at the table it was cold.
I always order a large fresh orange juice but was told the machine has been broken for a month. I always order rye toast but was told that although rye toast is on the menu that they haven't received any rye bread with their daily bread order.
I had to order my drink 3 times before the waiter remembered to bring it I don't blame him as he was alone serving a rather full restaurant.
Looks like the New owner is cutting costs .. Well the new owner just lost a regular customer who had litterally spent a few thousand dollars over the last year or so..
Good-bye Ben & Florintine time to give my business to PItino's on Henri-Bourassa

Good breakfast spot. I got the classic breakfast which is very good value for money. 13$ gets you 2 eggs, toast, potatoes, & a choice of meat (& coffee). Eggs were cooked perfectly, so was the bacon. Service was good, though a small mistake in the order was made. Restaurant was clean & comfortable, though the facilities were a little dirty. All in all, pretty good experience.
Prix augmentés & portion diminuée. Pas de refill de café offert lors de ma dernière visite. Attente un peu longue avant d'être servi & air climatisé trop froid dans le restaurant.
